The increase in consumption of fresh pork in Argentina has raised concerns regarding the nutritional quality and organoleptic characteristics of commercial breaks. In this work, the quality parameters of pork neck sold in La Pampa were determined. Unfrozen losses, cooking losses, drip losses and resistance to cutting, humidity, crude protein, ethereal extract, ash and fatty acid profile, were analyzed. The analyzed pork neck pulp they had an average of 69 ± 5.04% humidity, 17 ± 6.91% ether extract, 7.8 ± 1.14% crude protein and 1.07 ± 0.12% ash. The average saturated fatty acids were 38.1 ± 2.38%. Monounsaturated fatty acids represent 39.8 ± 3.57%. Polyunsaturated fatty acids represent 6.59 ± 0.97% of the fatty acid profile. The ratio obtained between polyunsaturated fatty acids: saturated fatty acids was 0.17 ± 0.03%. These results coincide with the recommendations of the Heart American Association to implement healthy diets containing up to 10% of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
