Abstract

Total contents of fatty acid compositions such as SFA, MUFA, and PUFA affected the beef preference more for Korean consumers than for Australian consumers while most of fatty acids had no relationship with the beef preference for Australian consumers. Although variations in the absolute concentration and in the relative proportions of different fatty acids would affect the flavor profile, the effect of fatty acids on the preference for clustering depended more on consumer groups than on beef origin.
