evaluation of four safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes for oil content and fatty acidcomposition showed that oil content varied from 22.16 to 34.39% and the highest seed oilcontent was obtained from isfahan14 genotype (34.39%, respectively). among those fatty acidswere detected, linoleic acid (75.81- 77.86%) was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic(12.57–13.75%), palmitic (6.0...

Abstract The present study aims at the identification and investigation of fatty acid and amino acid profiles in male and female Liza aurata in the southern part of the Caspian Sea, in reproductive (autumn) and non-reproductive (spring) seasons. The results showed difference between the total fatty acids levels in the sexes. Analyses of fatty acids indicated a higher percentage of C16:0, C...

Kilka fish are known as the main industrial and pelagic species of Iran that are captured abundantly in the southern Caspian Sea. This study was conducted to survey the effectiveness of refinement steps on Kilka (Clupeonella delicatula) crude oil quality and fatty acid profiles. Neutralization, bleaching, winterization and deodorization were performed on crude oil with deodorization done under ...

Using a stable-isotope tracer technique, Burdge & Wootton (2002) noted that women of child-bearing age (about 28 years) had a much greater capacity to convert a-linolenic acid (18 : 3n-3) to docosahexaenoic acid (22 : 6n-3) compared with men of a similar age (Burdge et al. 2002). Based on their analysis of the area under the curve of the time course plot of the plasma C-labelled fatty acids, th...

For those who do not consume preformed DHA from dietary sources, concern has been expressed about the potential inhibitory effect of high trans fatty acid (TFA) intakes in the diet relative to ALA and the potential for an even more compromised conversion efficiency from ALA to DHA. This concern is based on extensive literature indicating that high trans intakes in experimental animals partially...
