Fats are added to poultry diets as a source of energy and essential fatty acids. Ldditionally fats aid in reducing dustiness of most diets and at low levels act as a lbricant for the pellet die. Fat utilization is affected by a number of factors including fat omposition, bird age, bird species, intestinal status and composition of the diet into which fat is incorporated. In general, young birds...

objectives the link between dietary fat and heart disease has been established for decades. although, the atherogenic effect of saturated fatty acids is somehow controversial, the cardioprotective effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) are clearly documented. this study investigated the effects of different dietary oils on serum fatty acid composition in rat. methods six week male wistar...

Study presents that supercritical methanol has the ability to convert oils/fats consisting of triglycerides and free fatty acids (FFAs) into fatty acid methyl esters through transesterification and methyl esterification, respectively, without any catalyst. This one-step method (Saka process) is simpler process realizing shorter reaction time and higher yield of methyl esters than those of the c...

I n human health and nutrition, the concept of good fats and bad fats is typically used, especially with respect to dietary risk factors for coronary artery diseases and stroke. This concept originated with the notion that there are 2 forms of cholesterol that, for the sake of simplicity, have been referred to as good and bad. The concept has now been extended to include other dietary fats that...

Fatty acids can be divided into four general categories: saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and trans fats. Saturated fatty acids and trans fats are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids are associated with a decreased risk of coronary heart disease, although these associations are not uniformly support...

Dietary fats have important effects on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Abundant evidence shows that partial replacement of saturated fatty acids (SAFA) with unsaturated fatty acids improves the blood lipid and lipoprotein profile and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Low-fat diets high in refined carbohydrates and sugar are not effective. Very long-chain polyunsaturate...
