Due to consumer demand, in recent years considerable attention has beenfocused on the use of natural compounds in animal feed. The aim of this studywas to evaluate the effect of dietary natural extract from Lippiacitriodora (commonly named "limoncina"), titrated in verbascoside, onquality, measured as oxidative stability, fatty acid composition,alpha-tocopherol and retinol content and sensory traits of rabbit meat.Forty-five New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to three age- andbody-weight-balanced feeding groups of 15 animals each in which aconventional pelleted diet (CON) was supplemented with 1 or 2 kg t−1(low natural-extract (LNE) and high natural-extract (HNE) groups,respectively) of Lippia citriodora extract for 55 days. No influenceon carcass characteristics and the chemical composition of meat was observed.A trend for a positive effect on alpha-tocopherol tissue content (P = 0.07)and on thiobarbituric reactive substance (TBARS) values was observed(P = 0.063) in Longissimus Lumborum muscle from the HNE group. The fatty acid profile of the meat was affected by dietary treatment with asignificant decrease (P = 0.001) in saturated fatty acids and an increase(P = 0.01) in polyunsaturated fatty acids in both treated groups compared tothe CON group. The supplementation with natural extract at the highest dosageimproved the tenderness and juiciness of meat, highlighting a betterconsistency than CON and LNE groups. In conclusion, this study shows that thenatural extract used has the potential to improve rabbit meat in order toproduce functional food, without altering the chemical and physicalcharacteristics of meat
