Abstract:Changes in lipid profiles of Altay sheep tail fat during 50 days of refrigerated storage at 4 ℃ were investigated. We found that lipid oxidation and lipolysis occurred during the first 25 days of storage. The pH continuously decreased during this period (P < 0.05). Lipid oxidation was determined by peroxide value (POV) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARs). The POV value increased to a peak on the 25th day of storage followed by a gradual decline (P < 0.05). The TBARs value significantly increased throughout the entire storage period (P < 0.05). GC-MS analysis demonstrated that the content of saturated fatty acids increased from 43.6% to 56.3% and polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids decreased form 51.2% to 43.7% and from 2.4% to 2.1%, respectively. The content of the functional fatty acids except (C18:2n-9) started to decrease after 20 days of storage. These changes indicated that lipid oxidation occurred in Altay sheep tail fat during a long period of low temperature storage.
