Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates improved fatty acid profile in sausages from flaxseed-fed adult sheep, suggesting nutritional benefits.

Key Points

  • This study investigates how flaxseed feeding in sheep enhances the fatty acid profile of sausage products.
  • Flaxseed was included at 15% in sheep diets for 30, 45, and 60 days.
  • Mixed sausage formulations were created with varying proportions of sheep and pork meat.
  • Fatty acid analysis was conducted, including TGA and DSC for stability assessment.
  • Sausages from sheep fed flaxseed for longer periods showed higher linolenic acid levels.
  • The ω6/ω3 ratio in sausages was reduced to 4:1 with flaxseed feeding.
  • Fat stability and melting temperatures decreased in sausages with higher flaxseed inclusion.
