Fatty acid composition of beef intramuscular tissue is an important trait because high proportions of mono-unsaturated fatty acid are related to favorable beef flavor. In this study, we investigated the effects of genetic factors, such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), on beef carcass traits, including fatty acid composition, in the Hanwoo. Analysis of fatty acids in Hanwoo was performed using ...

Phytochemical plant tannins are phenolic compounds that interfere with biohydrogenation (BH) of monounsaturated-(MUFA) and poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The objective of the present animal study was to investigate the effects of three different levels of phytochemical tannin-containing ground pine bark diet on fatty acid profiles of goat meat, with particular reference to MUFA and PUFA. ...

In this study, total fatty acid composition and volatile fatty acid of silage species in Turkey was determined by using Gas Chromatography (Shimadzu 15-A). Total lipids were extracted from the corn silage, alfalfa silage and figüre silage samples by the method of Folch et al. Silage species were a total of 15 different fatty acids. These fatty acids between C12 to C24 have changed. Unsaturated ...

The fatty acid composition of 10 different seeds from Nigeria was determined. The data showed that most seeds (except for Brachystegia eurycoma and Dacryodes edulis) could be placed into one major group; they all contained more unsaturated fatty acids ranging from 55.58 to 79.93% for Tamarindus indica and Monodora myristica, respectively. Two unsaturated fatty acids, namely oleic (21.97-60.68%)...

objective: to modify yeild of milk fat and to improve fatty acids profile of milk fat with supplementation of the diet with fish oil enrich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha). design: clinical trial. animals: ten dairy cows (treatment group, n=5 and control group, n=5). procedure: different amounts of fish oil were fed to the treatment...

An increase in apparent thyroxine values obtained by competitive protein-binding assay on storage of sera is well documented. We find that the major source of this positive bias is probably the unsaturated nonesterified fatty acids. Nonesterified fatty acids cause a positive basis in the competitive protein-binding assay for serum thyroxine because they inhibit the binding of radioactive thyrox...
