Research has been conducted on the effects of feed supplementation with vitamin E, oleic acid (sunflower oil) and copper on some quality characteristics of pork chops. The study was based on the measurement of pH 45' and 24 hr post mortem, proximate composition, colour both objective and sensory, colour stability after packing in oxygen permeable film and protective atmosphere, copper and iron contents, vitamin E content in fresh and cooked chops, peroxide and TBARS value in raw and cooked meat, total cholesterol, cholesterol oxides and aldehydes in cooked meat, sensory evaluation of the eating quality of cooked chops and iodine number of subcutaneous fat. Vitamin E content was significantly higher with oil and vitamin supplementation. No variation has been observed in copper and iron contents. A higher stability of the colour of meat packed under modified atmosphere has been observed with increasing vitamin E content, but the same did not apply with meat packed in oxygen permeable film. No differences have been observed on fatty acid oxidative stability of fresh m. longissimus dorsi and cooked chops (peroxide and TBARS values), on cholesterol oxidation and aldehydes production of cooked chops with increasing vitamin E content. Iodine number in supplemented animals reached levels normally considered at risk for fat firmness.
