The aim of this study was to evaluate the organogelation potential tallow fat (TF) and partially hydrolyzed (HTF) against saturated monoglyceride (MG) a + diglyceride mixture (MDG) as organogelators. TF itself created oleogel at 30% addition level, while HTF, MG MDG oleogels were prepared 10% levels. Fatty acid composition data showed that HTF (HTFO) quite similar those oleogels. Solid content,...

Thirty-six castrated male growing pigs were used to study the effect of dietary beef tallow (BT) versus sunflower oil (SO) on meat quality and fatty acid composition of various tissues. The diets used contained either 5% (w/w) of the variable fat source. The fat type had no significant effect on carcass traits (carcass weight, back-fat thickness, fat-lean ratio) and meat quality (colour, pH(1),...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of four different dietary fat sources on performance, fatty acids composition of abdominal fat, thigh skin, breast and thigh muscle of broiler chickens. Soybean oil (SO), poultry grease (PG), beef tallow (BT) and a mixture of soybean oil with poultry grease (SPG 1 : 1) were used as fat source. A total 395, 4-day-old broilers were randomly assign...

For many dietary changes satisfactory prediction of the average change in the serum cholesterol level of man in mg./100 ml., is given by Δ Chol. = 1.35(2ΔS − ΔP) + 1.5ΔZ where S and P are percentages of total calories provided by glycerides of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet and Z2 = mg. of dietary cholesterol/1000 Cal. This formula fails, however, when the dietary change ...

Oversupply of bulk saturated fatty acids (SFA) induces metabolic disorders and myocardial dysfunction. We investigated whether, without causing metabolic disorders, the uptake of individual dietary SFA species alters lipid profiles and induces myocardial dysfunction. C57BL/6 mice were fed various customized long-chain SFA diets (40% caloric intake from SFA), including a beef tallow (HBD), cocoa...

Reactive oxygen species paradoxically underpin both ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage and ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) cardioprotection. Long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn-3 PUFA) are highly susceptible to peroxidation, but are paradoxically cardioprotective. This study tested the hypothesis that LCn-3 PUFA cardioprotection is underpinned by peroxidation, upregulating antio...
