Abstract:
Free amino acids and natural dipeptides, have been analyzed in pork muscles having different metabolic type (masseter, trapezius, semimembranosus and longissimus dorsi). Carnosine and anserine showed significantly higher (p < 0.05) concentrations with the glycolytic activity of the muscle while taurine and glutamine were significantly higher in the oxidative muscles. Non-essential free amino acids also showed significant (p < 0.05) increased content in the oxidative muscles.
