###### Abstract  
The aim of this work was to study the quality (oxidative stability), fatty acids (FAs) profile and their distribution in triacylglycerglycerol (TAG) molecules of hunted game wild fat (HGWF) obtained from wild boar, badger, and wild goose. Health lipid indices were calculated. The determination of FAs composition was carried out by gas chromatographic analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Enzymatic hydrolysis and thin layer chromatography were used to determine the positional distribution of FAs in the internal and external positions of triacylglycerofexols (the regiospecific structure of triacylglycerofexols) of the obtained HGWF. A pressure differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC) was used to determine the oxidative stability of tested HGWF. The lipid fraction isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissues was dominated by MUFA, on average 46-50% of total FAs, and by SFA, on average 32-36% of total FAs. Palmitic acid was located mainly in the internal position of TAGs of the analyzed HGWF, whereas external positions were occupied by unsaturated oleic acid. Such a structure is responsible for normal fat absorption from food and it prevents the formation of insoluble calcium salts. Considering FAs profile, quality and the oxidation stability among all tested fat samples, the boar fat seems to be the most favorable. fat boar; badger; goose; differential scanning calorimetry; gas chromatography; health lipid indices 20  
do not confirm that it is more thrombogenic compared to oleic and linoleic acids [12]. For preventing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), it is advantageous to consume a food including monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), as the oleic (C 18:1 n-9) and palmitoic (C 16:1 n-7), which have proven favorable influences on the blood lipid profile [14]. Similarly, PUFAs of n-3 and n-6 series are beneficial for human health. PUFA n-6 and n-3 differ in their antithrombogenicity activity, which is most pronounced in the n-3 series, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and decosahexaenoic acid (DHA) [15; 16]. The ratio of PUFA n-6/n-3 is particularly beneficial in means from animals that have consumed grass, which contain high levels of \(\alpha\)-linolenic acid (\(\alpha\) C 18:3 n-3). In animals, \(\alpha\) C 18:3 n-3 is converted to a series of longer chain PUFA of which the most important are C 20:5 n-3 (EPA) and C 22:6 n-3 (DHA) acids. Lipid oxidation is a very important process occurring in fats. It determines the final quality and nutritional properties of the food products because it is the main reaction responsible for their degradation [17; 18]. Pressure differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC) is becoming widely used in the study of food. This method is convenient, repeatable and fast. In addition, it is a non-chemical method that does not require time-consuming processing of tested samples and a small amount of sample is sufficient for analysis. The analysis of fat using this method allows the determination of its oxidative stability [19; 20; 21; 22]. Wild animals are free-range, fed mainly with natural food (i.e., pasture) hence both their meat and fat are free from hormones, antibiotics, heavy metals, residues, and other products. Moreover, wild game species meet animal welfare ethical standards, and the rearing of the animals in the wild has a lower or almost null impact on the ecosystems when compared to farmed species [4; 6]. However, it should be noted that due to the presence of environmental pollutants in the food chain of wild animals and the presence of parasites and infectious diseases, products obtained from these animals should be tested. Wild animals food varies depending on the territory and season (accumulating fats for the winter) [4; 6], and therefore the quality and nutritional value of fat may vary according to the species of animal. The aim of this work was to study the quality (oxidative stability), FAs profile and their distribution in triacylglycerol (TAG) molecules of fat obtained from the adipose tissue of wild boar, badger and wild goose.
