Short summary
In Spain, young bulls are slaughtered about 14 months. After slaughter, the carcasses remain in the slaughterhouse for less than 7 d. The present work collects this information and makes an attempt to analyse the response of the meat during the first 7 d of maturation to the oxidation of the fatty acids. Natural antioxidants in beef ensure fatty acid stability during first 7 d postmortem. Beef from pasture-fed meat includes a higher natural antioxidant content than grain-fed meat.
