Addition of seaweed (Laminaria digitata) extracts containing laminarin and fucoidan to porcine diets: Influence on the quality and shelf-life of fresh pork

► Wet (WS) and spray-dried (SD) seaweed extracts contain laminarin and fucoidan (L/F). ► Dietary L/F did not increase plasma total antioxidant status (TAS). ► The pH, colour and microbiology of fresh pork was unaffected by dietary L/F. ► Lipid oxidation in fresh pork meat followed the order: C > LF-SD > L/F-WS. ► L/F-WS reduced lipid oxidation to the greatest extent in liver homogenates.
