Increasing Demand

Cereals constitute a major source of human and animal nutrition. In spite of the extensive production of numerous cereal species, some information is unavailable in terms of lipid composition. Due to the oil increasing demand by the overgrowth of the world population, oleaginous species have encountered problems in recent years. In order to find new sources of edible oil, the aim of this study was to describe the importance of seventeen varieties oil of seven cereal species. Oils were extracted by the Soxhlet method, and fatty acids were measured by gas chromatography. The present study demonstrated that the lipid content of cereal seeds ranged from 1.42% to 5.97%. In average, oat, millet, and maize had significantly higher lipid content, respectively, 5.97%, 5.06%, and 4.71%. The main fatty acid recorded in the studied cereal species, except oat, was linoleic acid C18 : 2 (ω6). Regarding the essential fatty acids linoleic acid C18 : 2 and linolenic acid C18 : 3 (ω3), the oil of all studied species, except oat, was rich in ω6 fatty acids (47.50 to 60.13%) and poor in ω3 (0.45% to 5.33%). The content of unsaturated fatty acids in all studied species ranged from 77.22 to 81.89%. Cereal oil was considered as highly unsaturated oil with the presence of the essential fatty acids necessary for human health. Therefore, cereal oils could be commercialized in small quantities in pharmacies or parapharmacies.

Fat Soluble Vitamins

Colostrum and milk contain a number of important components such as immunoglobulins, fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids which have a marked influence on the health and welfare of the neonatal calf. The requirement of the neonatal calf for vitamin E is partly dependent on the dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Harris and Embree (1963) recommended that the ratio of vitamin E to linoleic acid (mg/g) should be between 1.5 to 2.5. Vitamin E is required to provide protection against peroxidative damage to the unsaturated fatty acids of plasma and membrane lipids and has been shown to play an important role in the development and maintenance of the immune system (Machlin and Bendich, 1987; Bendich, 1989). A study was conducted to examine the ratio of vit E to C18:2 in colostrum and milk and to investigate the effects of different dietary ratios of vit E to C18:2 erythrocyte membrane lipid composition.Twelve Hereford x Friesian cows were used in this experiment. Seventeen calves born to these cows, five sets of twins and seven singles, were randomly allocated to four treatment groups as follows. Group A -untreated controls; groups B and C - supplemented with different levels of vitamin E; group D -supplemented with vitamin E and C18:2.

The present research was aimed to study the chemical compositions of Passiflora edulis Sims seeds oil, including the fatty acid profiles, contents of tocopherols, sterols, and triglycerides. The seeds oil yield is 24.88% by using Soxhlet method. Passiflora edulis seeds oil showed high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (89.25%) with main ingredient linoleic acid (w-6, 66.94%) and oleic acid (w-6, 18.86%). Tocopherols (18.04 mg/kg), sterols (2935.35 mg/kg) and triglycerides (monomere TAG, 74.11%) are also determined by using IOC and ISO methods, respectively. The findings demonstrate that P. edulis seeds oil could be used beneficially in the food and cosmetic industries.

Abstract The essential fatty acids linoleic, α-linolenic and arachidonic acid have been crystallized for the first time. The crystal and molecular structures have been elucidated by X-ray analysis. Linoleic acid crystallizes monoclinic P21/c with a = 4298(3), b = 463.2(3), c = 937.7(6) pm, β = 109.38(8)°, Z = 4. The closely packed molecules are stretched with a tttttts̄CssCs̄tt conformationa. By comparison of the unit-cell constants and calculated densities of the unsaturated fatty acids it may be shown that both α-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid also possess stretched structures in the crystal lattice, α-linolenic acid must display a tttttts̄CssCs̄s̄Cs and arachidonic acid a tts̄CssCs̄s̄CssCs̄ttt conformation.

This series of papers presents the most extensive and persistent efforts to date to determine the significance of so-called essential fatty acids in infant nutrition. The first paper in the series is concerned with the comparison of the levels of unsaturated fatty acids in the plasma with the intake of unsaturated fatty acids from the diet. The effect of human milk is compared to evaporated milk and prepared infant formulae. The larger intake of unsaturated fatty acids which occurs in the case of infants fed at the breast is reflected in higher levels in the plasma than are found with the various forms of artificial feeding. In the second paper in the series data are presented in support of the authors' contention that the intake of unsaturated fatty acids has an influence on the requirement for calories. The third paper in the series reports observations on clinical manifestations attributed to linoleic acid deficiency. Groups of infants were fed five different milk mixtures varying in the content of fat and linoleic acid. This paper reports observations on 27 infants who received only 1.4% of the calories as fat, .1% of the calories as linoleic acid. The infants developed dryness of the skin and other symptoms which were eliminated by the addition of linoleic acid to the diet.

Food is not just a pleasure in life, it is also an important factor for our health. Human nutrition is a mixture of nutrients, which are the only source of energy needed for survival. Energy-poor diet endangers many life functions, and above all the working ability. In the world, the meaning of the diet is very serious, and hence the demands for a –rational, healthy and safe diet are growing. Human nutrition contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) must be ingested in everyday diet because the body does not produce it. They are very important for human health. They are present in each cell of the human body and are an important factor for the normal growth, development and functioning of cells, muscles, nerves and organs. They are also used in the production of certain hormones - such as prostaglandins, which are crucial for the performance of certain important processes. The deficit from EFAs is due to a number of health problems, including more serious diseases.

Abstract Background Cottonseed is one of the major sources of vegetable oil. Analysis of the dynamic changes of fatty acid components and the genes regulating the composition of fatty acids of cottonseed oil is of great significance for understanding the biological processes underlying biosynthesis of fatty acids and for genetic improving the oil nutritional qualities. Results In this study, we investigated the dynamic relationship of 13 fatty acid components at 12 developmental time points of cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and generated cottonseed transcriptome of the 12 time points. At 5–15 day post anthesis (DPA), the contents of polyunsaturated linolenic acid (C18:3n-3) and saturated stearic acid (C18:0) were higher, while linoleic acid (C18:2n-6) was mainly synthesized after 15 DPA. Using 5 DPA as a reference, 15,647 non-redundant differentially expressed genes were identified in 10–60 DPA cottonseed. Co-expression gene network analysis identified six modules containing 3275 genes significantly associated with middle-late seed developmental stages and enriched with genes related to the linoleic acid metabolic pathway and α-linolenic acid metabolism. Genes (Gh_D03G0588 and Gh_A02G1788) encoding stearoyl-ACP desaturase were identified as hub genes and significantly up-regulated at 25 DPA. They seemed to play a decisive role in determining the ratio of saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty acids. FAD2 genes (Gh_A13G1850 and Gh_D13G2238) were highly expressed at 25–50 DPA, eventually leading to the high content of C18:2n-6 in cottonseed. The content of C18:3n-3 was significantly decreased from 5 DPA (7.44%) to 25 DPA (0.11%) and correlated with the expression characteristics of Gh_A09G0848 and Gh_D09G0870. Conclusions These results contribute to our understanding on the relationship between the accumulation pattern of fatty acid components and the expression characteristics of key genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis during the entire period of cottonseed development.

Sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG) is a glycolipid ubiquitously found in photosynthetically active organisms. It has attracted much attention in recent years due to its biological activities. Similarly, the increasing demand for vegan and functional foods has led to a growing interest in micronutrients such as sulfolipids and their physiological influence on human health. To study this influence, reference materials are needed for developing new analytical methods and providing enough material for model studies on the biological activity. However, the availability of these materials is limited by the difficulty to isolate and purify sulfolipids from natural sources and the unavailability of chemical standards on the market. Consequently, an alternative synthetic route for the comprehensive preparation of sulfolipids was established. Here, the synthesis of a sulfolipid with two identical saturated fatty acids is described exemplarily. The method opens possibilities for the preparation of a diverse range of interesting derivatives with different saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
