Abstract: | In order to determine in vivo intramuscular fat content of pigs' biceps femoris, three methods were compared. Gravimetry and FTIR spectroscopy after total fat extraction from a biopsy (about 400 mg skeletal muscle tissue) and in vivo 1H NMR spectroscopy after imaging and volume of interest selection were used. Mean values (g fat/100 g fresh tissue) were, respectively, 1·47 ± 0·35 (gravimetry), 1·26 ± 0·33 (FTIR) and 0·51 ± 0·19 (NMR); but NMR-values represented only triglycerides. Within an intramuscular fat range from 1·1 to 2·7 g per 100 g fresh muscle tissue, possible to estimate a calibration line between the in vitro and in vivo data for hybrid piglets of about 18 kg. Repeated in vivo NMR measurements on the same muscle volume showed a mean coefficient of variation of 5·5 ± 2·7%. The coefficient of variation of measurements on different volumes within the same muscle was 14 ± 10%. The mean intramuscular fat content of 18 kg or 100 kg pigs was, respectively, 1·64 ± 0·46 (biceps femoris) and 1·32 ± 0·1 (longissimus dorsi) g per 100 g fresh muscle tissue. |
