This paper reviews the current literature around the environmental impacts of dietary recommendations. The focus of the review is on collating evidence relating to environmental impacts of the dietary advice found in the World Health Organisation guidelines, and environmental impact literature: reducing the consumption of fat, reducing the consumption of meat-based protein and animal-based food...

Twenty seven lambs were used to investigate the effects of the inclusion of 4% hydrogenated palm oil (HPO) or sunflower oil (SFO) in the concentrate on feed intake, animal performance and fatty acid composition. Animals (16.2±0.27 kg initial weight) were fed concentrate (Control, HPO or SFO) and barley straw ad libitum and slaughtered at 25 kg. Vegetable oils did not affect (P>0.05) feed intake...

Recent studies pointed out that live insects and their products (meals oils) are suitable protein fat sources can be used in the nutrition of farmed monogastric animals. This is as an alternative to traditional plant-derived animal-derived feedstuffs. To date very little information available concerning effects dietary inclusion on feed digestibility performance ruminant The aim this editorial ...

Understanding of how interactions between genes and environment contribute to the development of arthritis is a central issue in understanding the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as for eventual subsequent efforts to prevent the disease. In this paper, we review current published data on genes and environment in RA as well as in certain induced animal models of disease, mainly th...

During the last stage of plant oil refining, deodorization distillates containing very important biological substances such as tocopherols, sterols, terpenoids or hydrocarbons are formed as a by-products. This study aimed at evaluating the content and antioxidant capacity of tocopherol concentrates from deodorization distillates obtained after the refining of rapeseed, soybean and sunflower oil...

Currently, there is a growing demand to replace the compounds in given product that are of petroleum origin with renewable resources. One these compounds, called fatty acid (FA), main component vegetable oils. FA composition not only responsible for physicochemical properties plant oils, but it also determines their uses. For example, since time immemorial, products containing lipids have been ...

Crop protection still mostly relies on synthetic pesticides for crop pest control. However, the rationale their continued use is shaded by revealed adverse effects, such as relatively long environmental persistence that leads to water and soil contamination retention of residues in food brings high risks human animal health. As part integrated management, biopesticides may provide protection, b...

In order to reduce the saturated fat content of processed foods, the food industry in developed countries has moved progressively from animal fat to vegetable fat sources. The fatty acid composition of hydrogenated fat is complex with monoene fatty acids (cis and trans) possessing double bonds at positions 4 to 16, depending on the hydrogenation technique. In general, the percentage of unsatura...
