Beneficial effects and oxidative stability of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids

چکیده
Omega-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), especially long-chain eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) fatty acids, exert a strong positive influence on human health. At present, fish oil is the major source of omega-3. EPA and DHA are highly susceptible to lipid oxidation Lipid oxidation of fish oil and other PUFA-rich foods is a serious problem that often leads to loss of shelf-life, consumer acceptability, functionality, nutritional value, and safety. In this review, some beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids are presented. In addition, some approaches used to protect PUFAs such as antioxidants, microencapsulation and modified atmosphere packaging are reviewed.

متن کاملEffects of seasonal variations on fatty acid content of muscle in Pampus argenteus caught from Persian Gulf
Since fish have large amounts of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, they are considered a good source of food. In this study, fatty acid content and proximate composition of Silver Pomfret fish (Pampus argenteus) were investigated during winter and summer. For this purpose, the samples were collected from Bandar Lenge of Persian Gulf in 2016 and brought to the laboratory. The moisture, fat...
