As has been shown in previous researches the fatty acids in human blood exist, as glycerides, cholesterol esters, soaps, or as free acids; they are also represented as a radical of lecithin and the phosphatide groups. Their content varies in continued starvation, fat absorption, anesthesia, certain pathological conditions, et’c., as recently reported and confirmed in a series of papers by B1oor...

Excessive intake of trans-fatty acids increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Much attention is drawn to the consumption of trans-fatty acids worldwide, and regulations for trans-fatty acids are instituted in several countries. Precise and convenient methods for determination of trans-fatty acid level are required, but there is no standard method using capillary Gas Chromatography in Japa...

Abstract In recent decades, mushrooms have been recognized as an important resource and efforts to characterize their potential aid nutrition human health increased. Phlebopus beniensis specimen from a semi-urban community in Paraguay were analyzed for its biochemical properties, nutritional value, toxicity. The species was identified by morpho-anatomical molecular tools. Analyses antioxidants ...

Phoenix dactylifera L. has traditionally been used as a medicine in many cultures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional properties, aromatic compounds, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity ten ripe date fruit varieties grown Tunisia. Sugar profiles were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, while fatty acid compounds detected gas chromatography GC-Elect...

Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel consisting of the alkyl monoesters of fatty acids from vegetable oils or animal fats. Currently, most biodiesel is made from soybean oil, methanol, and an alkaline catalyst. However, there are large amounts of fats and oils that are unsuitable for human consumption that could be converted to biodiesel at lower cost. The problem with processing these waste...

UNLABELLED Emerging evidence relates some nutritional factors to depression risk. However, there is a scarcity of longitudinal assessments on this relationship. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between fatty acid intake or the use of culinary fats and depression incidence in a Mediterranean population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective cohort study (1999-2010) of 12,059 Spanish universi...

WHAT WAS THIS STUDY ABOUT? In the article “APOE e4 and the associations of seafood and longchain omega-3 fatty acids with cognitive decline,” van de Rest and colleagues examined the connection between the amount of seafood eaten per week and cognitive decline over approximately 5 years in older adults living in retirement communities. The researchers were also interested in learning more about ...

High performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (HPLC-APCI MS) was applied to the characterisation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in animal fats. The major TAGs in four fats (beef, chicken, lamb and pork) were identified and positional isomers assigned according to their APCI mass spectra. Beef and lamb fat TAGs were confirmed as containing higher p...

Fatty acids are widely occurring in natural fats and dietary oils and they are known to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. However, little is known on the antibacterial and antifungal properties of the blindyour-eye mangrove (Excoecaria agallocha) and this study for the first time determines the fatty acid composition and the antibacterial and antifungal activities of Fatty Acid Meth...
