Triglycerides with a total of 34-44 acyl carbon atoms have previously been shown to account for nearly 50% of bovine milk fat. About 80% of this material was isolated by molecular distillation and a representative fraction of these glycerides was subjected to a stereospecific analysis. Of the 29 moles % of C(4)-C(8) fatty acids present in the analyzed fraction, at least 95% were specifically at...

We previously reported that 3-hydroxy fatty acids promoted the survival of cryptococcal cells when acted upon by amoebae. To expand on this, the current study sought to explain how these molecules may protect cells. Our data suggest that 3-hydroxy fatty acids may subvert the internalization of cryptococcal cells via suppression of the levels of a fetuin A-like amoebal protein, which may be impo...

Squids belong to the cephalopod family, which composes more than 5% of the total annual fishing volume of southern Iran as by- products; however, these do not have significant usage in Iran. This product was studied to extract the high-value products, i.e. marine oils rich in unsaturated multiple-band fatty acids from 50kg squid (Loligo loligo) obtained from Chabahar fishing port and transferre...

enzymatic acidolysis of canola oil through caprylic and capric acids was investigated for making structured lipids. lipozyme tl im, an sn-1,3 specific thermomyce slanuginosa lipase, was utilized as the biocatalyst in the batch reactor. reaction conditions were designed according to taguchi’s method considering fatty acid to oil ratio, at three levels (1:1, 2:1, 3:1) , enzyme load (4, 8 and, 12%...

The nutritional requirement for n-3 long-chain PUFA in fast-growing Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during grow out in the sea is not well documented. Diets were formulated with levels of EPA (20 : 5n-3) and DHA (22 : 6n-3) ranging from 1·3 to 7·4 % of fatty acids (4-24 g/kg feed). Two long-term trials were conducted through the seawater phase, the first at 6 and 12°C, and the second at 12°C. In ...
