Chromatographic Evidence

The fatty acid composition of the liver lipids of the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) closely resembles that of terrestrial mammals. Gas–liquid chromatographic evidence indicates that 5,8,11,14-nonadecatetraenoic acid is present, and the origin of this acid in association with 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid is discussed.

Composition Pattern

Oils from sectioned blubber, whole blubber oils, and commercial oils from the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) taken in Nova Scotia waters have been examined. The general properties include much lower iodine values (105–117) than those commonly reported for North Atlantic (Arctic) baleen whales. The fatty acid composition pattern has been determined by gas–liquid chromatography and varies systematically with the type of acid across the blubber section, the inner section having the highest iodine value. The roles of the blubber in physiological functions other than as an insulating layer are discussed in terms of fatty acid composition.

With a view to studying the qualitative features and the variations in fatty acid composition of 6 rapeseed (B. campestris and B. napus) and mustard (B. juncea) varieties, an experiment was conducted. Among these varieties, BARI Sarisha-14 presented the value of 168.4 which was recorded the highest. Both BARI Sarisha-11 and BARI Sarisha-14 was found with the highest iodine value of 39.44; and the highest amount of acid value was recorded from BARI Sarisha-11 (1.867). Gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method has been used to determine the composition of essential fatty acid in the seeds of Brassica spp. (L.). From the GLC analysis, it was found that erucic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and lenolenic acid were the prime fatty acids in all the varieties. Erucic acid was in the range of 41.11 – 51.28%, oleic acid was the highest both in BARI Sarisha-11 and BARI Sarisha- 13 contained (18.69%), while BARI Sarisha-9 contained the highest amount of the unsaturated linoleic (17.75%)  and linolenic (15.83%) acids. Moreover, palmitic acid, stearic acid and archidic acid were also present in small amount.
