In this work 1H NM R spectroscopy is used for the first time to analyse the lipid profile of Iberian hams as determinant of quality. Quantification of fatty acids is readily obtained from the spectra, with the monounsaturated fat t y acids standing out, especially in the higher quality hams. Unprecedently, triacylglyceride hydrolysis products formed during the curing process can also be directly detected and quantified. Furthermore, chemometric analysis of the NMR data allows to classify Iberian hams according to the pig's crossbreed and feeding regime. Principal component analysis show s fatty acid unsaturation and triacylglyceride hydrolysis as discriminating variables. H-1 NM R spectroscopy has thus revealed as a convenient and power f u l tool for the lipid analysis and classification of Iberian hams and for detection of fraud. 收起
