  Inappropriate diet and cooking techniques contribute to the reduction of nutrient quality of food and the rise of diet-related chronic diseases such as obesity. The present study was aimed at assessing the effects of boiling and roasting on the quality of the lipid of an adult Large white pig meat (Longissimus dorsi muscle) enriched with five spices at various concentrations. The proximate composition of uncooked meat was evaluated and the lipid quality was assessed by chemical characterization of oils extracted from the meat. Results revealed that meat had a high level in the water (66.08%); lipids (16.4%); proteins (15.95%); and a low level in ash (1.15%) and carbohydrates (0.42%). It also contains minerals such as magnesium (147.28 g/kg); sodium (2.88 g/kg); phosphorus (1.42 g/kg) and calcium (1.22 g/kg). All the treatments significantly (p<0.05) increased the acid valu..
