Short summary
We examined the differences in the colour of meat during 6 days of storage between commercial (Swedish Landrace) and traditional (Swallow-bellied Mangalitsa) pig breeds. In conclusion, the meat from the free-range Swallow-bellied Mangalitsa pigs had better colour stability for 6 days of refrigerator vacuum storage compared to the meat from the modern pig breed, and our recommendation is to age this meat if it is intended to be marketed as high-quality pork.
