Dietary lipids have a major role in nutrition, not only for their fuel value, but also as essential and bioactive nutrients. This narrative review aims to describe the current evidence on nutrigenomic effects of dietary lipids. Firstly, different chemical biological properties fatty acids contained both plant- animal-based food are illustrated. A description lipid bioavailability, bioaccessibil...

This article provides an overview of fatty acids in meat, their variation among animal species, and the roles as flavor precursors. Animal fat mostly consists triglycerides phospholipids. Fats from ruminant (cattle, sheep, goats) monogastric (pigs horses) animals have similar with more saturated monounsaturated than polyunsaturated acids. In animals, muscle reflect composition diets, whereas ar...
