safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is one of the oilseed plants that can influence strongly on oilseed security because it is extremely compatible with environmental conditions. safflower is cultivated as second cultivation after combining cereals in isfahan. nowadays many attempts are performed to improve safflower oil quality to use in edible oil industry. in this study, quantity and quality...

for determining the fatty acid characteristics and biodiesel quality of ethiopian jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions namely southern nation nationalities peoples regional state (snnprs), amhara region, tigria region, oromia region and benishangul gumuz regions, where physic nut is found abundantly. for each region, representative sampling sites were selected following...

The aim of this research was to investigate the changes in milk yield and its composition, fatty acid profile and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (PPARG) gene expression in adipose tissue of Iranian Holstein cattle in response to feeding isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets but formulated based on different oilseeds (soybean or canola seeds). Twenty cows were tested ra...

The objective of the study was to determine sensory characteristics and fatty acid profile of eggs from commercial laying hens fed rendered spent hen meal (RSHM). Eggs were collected on a daily basis from Single Comb White Leghorn hens between 43 and 60 wk of age. The hens were fed a layer diet containing either 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, or 10.0% RSHM from 48 to 60 wk in Trial 1, and from 43 to 55 wk i...

Fourteen strains of Centers for Disease Control group DF-3 bacteria were examined for cellular fatty acid composition to evaluate their chemical relatedness to known bacterial species and groups. The fatty acids were liberated from whole cells by base hydrolysis, methylated, and analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. All group DF-3 strains possessed a distinct fatty acid profile which...

this study describes the effects of different stocking densities on texture/colour characteristics, protein content /amino acid and lipid content/fatty acid composition of rainbow trout fillet.stocking density was selected 5 (group a), 15 (group b), 25 (group c) kg fish m−3.tukey’s multiple comparison test showed insignificant differences between measured size/weight measurement and condition fac...

OBJECTIVE Low levels of docosahexaenoic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and elevated ratios of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids are associated with major depression and, possibly, suicidal behavior. Predicting risk of future suicidal behaviors by essential fatty acid status merits examination. METHOD Plasma polyunsaturated fatty acid levels in phospholipids were measured in 33 medication-free ...

The study investigated the quantitative and qualitative [chemical] characteristics of fatty acids, carotenoids and tocopherol in some fast foods prepared from a Nigerian eatery. The fatty acid profile was determined by gas chromatography, carotenoids by open column chromatography and visible spectrophotometry, and tocopherol by colorimetric method. The free fatty acid, acid and peroxide values ...

background: studies have shown that zinc and selenium deficiency is common in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld). however, the effects of zinc and selenium co-supplementation before and/or after disease progression on nafld are not clear enough. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of zinc and selenium co-supplementation before and/or after disease progression on nafld prognos...

The objective of this paper is to study the effects of varying dietary levels of n-6 : n-3 fatty acid ratio on plasma and tissue fatty acid composition in rat. The treatment groups included control rats fed chow diet only, rats fed 50% soybean oil (SBO): 50% cod liver oil (CLO) (1 : 1), 84% SBO: 16% CLO (6 : 1), 96% SBO: 4% CLO (30 : 1). Blood samples were taken at day 15 of pregnancy, and the ...
