Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) as a Marine Functional Source of Gamma-Tocopherol
Gamma tocopherol (gT) exhibits beneficial cardiovascular effects partly due to its anti-inflammatory activity. Important sources of gT are vegetable oils. However, little is known to what extent gT can be transferred into marine animal species such as Atlantic salmon by feeding. Therefore, in this study we have investigated the transfer of dietary gT into salmon. To this end, fish were fed a di...
متن کاملGamma Tocopherol Content of Iranian Sesame Seeds
Gamma tocopherol content of 7 Iranian sesame seeds (sesamum indicum L.) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography using C8 column and methanol, water and butanol as mobile phase. The gamma-tocopherol content varied from 563 to 1095 mg/kg in oil and 293 to 569 mg/kg in sesame seed and was in broad agreement with the Codex range. A large variation was found in the concentration of ...
متن کاملRapid determination of vitamin E in vegetable oils by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
A quick and direct method for measuring tocopherols (alpha, beta+gamma and delta) in vegetable oils has been developed using RP-HPLC with UV detection. Previous extraction of tocopherols is not required. The oil is diluted in hexane and an aliquot is mixed with ethanol containing an internal standard (alpha-tocopherol acetate). The chromatographic system consists of an ODS-2 column with a metha...
متن کاملStorage, Heating, and Tocopherols Affect Cholesterol Oxide Formation in Food Oils
The influence of fatty acid composition and tocopherol on cholesterol oxidation in fish, flax, sunflower, and palm oil to which cholesterol was added were examined during storage and heating. The contents of cholesterol oxides in all oils increased (p < 0.05) during storage and heating. Total cholesterol oxides in fish oil were higher (p < 0.05) than that in vegetable oils. Addition of R-tocoph...
متن کاملMixed tocopherols inhibit N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary tumor growth in rats.
Tocopherols are present in significant amounts in vegetable oils used in human foods. The most prevalent tocopherols in foods are the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta variants with (RRR) stereochemistry. Tocopherols are lipophilic phenolic antioxidants, produced by plants. In the United States, gamma-tocopherol is the most prominent dietary tocopherol due to its high amount in the dominant commerc...
