Polyunsaturated fatty acids found in animals are fundamental products of successive desaturations and elongations of linoleic ( 18 : 2 , r i 6), a-holenic ( lX:3,ri 3) , oleic ( 18 : 1 , r i 9) and palmitoleic ( 16 : 1 , t i 7) acids. The most important ones are those derived from linoleic and a-linolenic acids and they have major physiological implications. The enzymes responsible for the desa...

The fatty acid composition of lymphocytes, and other immune cells, is altered according to the fatty acid composition of the diet and this alters the capacity of those cells to produce eicosanoids, such as prostaglandin E2, which are involved in immune-regulation. A high fat diet can impair lymphocyte function. Cell culture and animal feeding studies indicate that oleic, linoleic, conjugated li...

dog rose (rosa canina l.) is a wild native species in iran, with a significant genetic diversity. the purpose of this research was to study quantitative and qualitative characteristics of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids dog rose ecotypes in five habitats of isfahan province in 2014-2015. oil was extracted from seeds by using soxhlet apparatus; the fatty acid composition of oil was charact...

the oil extracted from three major canola cultivars (hyolla401, hyolla420 and rgs003) grown in golestan province was analyzed for physico-chemical properties, fatty acid composition, minerals content, and stability during 16 weeks of storage. according to the results, the highest iodine value and refractive index belonged to hyolla401. the highest saponification value was observed in hyolla420....

Background & Aim: Ocimum basilicum L. is belong to the Lamiaceae family which is cultivated as a culinary, industrial and medicinal plants in some countries from thousands years ago. The seed of this plant is rich in poly un-saturated fatty acids (PUFA) and produced a large amount of mucilage. Experimental: The oil of seed was extracted separately and converted to fatty acids...

in this study, the oil yield, fatty acid (fa) composition and the physicochemical and quality characteristics of salvia macrosiphon crude seed oil were determined. the main fatty acids ranked in the following order of abundance: α- linolenic acid> linoleic acid> oleic acid. the n3 /n6 fa ratio and polyunsaturated fa/ saturated fa ratio were 1.6 and 7.23, respectively. the fa composition reveale...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) were evaluated for some physical properties and chemical composition. Ripe fruits were determined for moisture (2.71 %), crude protein (14.6 %) crude fibre (1.8 %) ash (1.57 %), crude energy (576 Cal) ether soluble extract (24.71 %), nut (10.5 g) and kernel (5.09 g) veights. Relative density, refractive index, free fatty acids, peroxide value, saponification number, un...

We have previously shown that resistance to transplanted cancer in mice can be greatly increased by a previous injection of a small quantity of olive oil,' or such unsaturated fatty acids as oleic, linolic, and linolenic acids.2 It is of interest to extend these observations by the study of the action of the fatty acids on the resistance of animals to their own spontaneously developed neoplasms...

This study aimed to investigate the functional and physicochemical properties of yogurt, supplemented with germinated brown rice (GBR) containing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), during storage. GBR was produced by soaking brown rice at 30℃, and saccharified germinated brown rice (SGBR) was produced by treating brown rice with α- and β-amylase for 1 h, at 80℃ and 60℃, respectively. Yogurt was manufa...
