objective: the effects of dietary fish oil on semen quality and sperm fatty acid profiles during consumption of n-3 fatty acids as well as the persistency of fatty acids in ram’s sperm after removing dietary oil from the diet were investigated. materials and methods: in this experimental study, we randomly assigned 9 zandi rams to two groups (isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets): control (ctr...

The seed and seed oil from sandbox, Hura crepitans were investigated to establish their composition and utility as a base material. Powdered seeds from H. crepitans were soxhlet-extracted with petroleum ether between 40-60°C to yield a golden-yellow oil. Proximate analyses and chemical characterization of the seed oil were carried out using the standard procedures of American Oil Chemist Societ...

The seed oil of Lesquerella fendleri is valued for its use in industrial products including lubricants, methyl esters for diesel fuel additives, greases, drying agents, plastics, nylon-11, surfactants and protective coatings. The predominate fatty acids in the seed oil of all Lesquerella species are hydroxy fatty acids (HFA) and the HFA found in L. fendleri, the species being developed as a new...

The content of fatty acids as well as the ratio between unsaturated and saturated fatty acids is important parameter for determination of nutritional value of certain oil. Therefore the newest trend in food processing industry is notifying the composition of edible oils and other food commodities for the content of each individual fatty acid. The main objective of this work was to identify the ...

Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fourth common cancer and the second leading cause of death from cancer worldwide. Omega fatty acids are a group of non-saturated fatty acids of long chains derive from linolenic, linoleic and oleic fatty acids. The current study aimed at examining the possible effects of oral administration of omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids on gastric cancer cell apoptosis in...

s that included only subjects who had a non-CVDrelated condition (e.g., cancer, schizophrenia, or organ transplant), letters, and abstracts. Upon review of full articles we excluded studies of children (under age 19 years), studies of daily omega-3 fatty acid doses of more than 6 g per day, studies of less than 4 weeks duration, crossover studies with less than 4 weeks washout between treatment...

The percentage composition, fatty acids and oxidation stability was obtained from “peanut mayonnaise” in comparison with commercial mayonnaise and sunflower oil. “Peanut mayonnaise” showed better chemical quality than commercial mayonnaise.

Date is one of the world’s oldest food-producing plants wich has always played an important role in the economy and social life. Various researchers examined chemical composition and nutritional values of edible parts of dates while limited information about chemical composition and nutritional quality of date seed is available. In this study, fatty acid composition and total tocopherol content...

 The influence of five pure diets of isonitrogenous and isoenergic with different ratios of Clupeidae fish oil (F) and soybean oil (S) on growth, molting and survival of narrow-clawed crayfish, Astacus leptodactylus, was evaluated during an 8-weeks trial. As soybean oil replaced with fish oil in each treatment, gently. Test diets were inclusive F0/S100, F30/S70, F50/S50, F70/S30 and F100/S0 fis...

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...
