The influence of frying with four different oils (sunflower oil, soybean oil, olive oil, and corn oil) on the fatty acid composition of silver carp was evaluated. The fat content of the fillets increased after frying while the moisture content decreased in all evaluated samples. Mean saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids, ∑ω3, and ∑ω6 contents of raw fish w...

The objectives were to determine the variation explained by the BovineSNP50v2 BeadChip for cholesterol (CH), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), protein, and minerals in beef cattle, and to identify chromosomal regions that harbor major allelic variants underlying the variation of these traits. Crossbred steers and heifers (n=236) segregating at the inactive ...

Dietary fats are closely related to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Cholesterol, saturated and trans fats are harmful whereas MUFA, PUFA (especially Omega-3 PUFA) are beneficial for the heart. Choice of heart healthy oil could decrease the occurrence of CAD. This article reviews the benefits/harms of common edible oils on heart health. A heart healthy oil should be cholesterol and trans fats fre...

What are trans fatty acids (TFA)? Fatty acids found in foods can be saturated (SFA, no double bonds), monounsaturated (MUFA, 1 double bond) or polyunsaturated (PUFA , 2 or more double bonds). The double bonds provide rigidity to the molecule and result in specific molecular configurations. Naturally occurring fatty acids in foods usually have the cis configuration, i.e. the hydrogen atoms with ...

Sažetak Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je analizirati udio masti i sastav masnih kiselina u uzorcima M. biceps femoris istarskog i dalmatinskog pršuta. Analiziran je sadržaj zasićenih (SFA), mononezasićeniih (MUFA) i polinezasićenih (PUFA) masnih kiselina. Udio masti u istarskom pršutu bio je 7,45-21,12%, dok u dalmatinskom 9,49-21,29%. Sastav masnih kiselina istarskog i dalmatinskog pršuta nije se...

Twenty four male Thai native × Anglo-Nubian crossbred goats were randomly allocated to receive four treatments. The experiment was conducted for four months and slaughtered that the Longissimus dorsi muscle was collected for fatty acid analysis. The results conclude that either castrated method or ages had no significantly different on monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) (P>0.05) except erucic ac...

A total of 184 samples from 18 varieties commercial fast foods, traditional snacks and sweetmeats Dhaka city were examined for fatty acid composition, percentage monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA), saturated (SFA). Fatty methyl esters prepared lipid extracts analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography using capillary columns. The these foods was determined. In general, showed high proport...

The purpose of the present study was to characterize dry-cured loin and “cachaço” Bísaro pork evaluate effect inclusion olive cake in animals’ diet on cured products. For this purpose, forty loins “cachaços” were used, followed by a process cold curing with controlled ventilation, without adding nitrites or synthetic additives. chemical compositions significantly different moisture, total fat, ...

A total of 54 finishing barrows (initial BW = 99.8 ± 5.1 kg; PIC C22 × 337) reared in individual pens were allotted to 1 of 6 dietary treatments in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments with 2 levels of ractopamine (0 and 7.4 mg/kg) and 3 levels of dietary energy (high: 3,537, medium: 3,369, and low: 3,317 kcal/kg of ME) to determine the effects of feeding ractopamine and various dietary ...

We have demonstrated that among carcass adipose tissue depots, brisket subcutaneous adipose tissue contains the greatest concentration of MUFA and lowest concentration of SFA. Therefore, we hypothesized that brisket subcutaneous adipose tissue depots would exhibit greater adipogenic gene expression over time than other major subcutaneous adipose tissue depots. Four Angus steers, each at 9, 12, ...
