The fatty acids profiles of Tunisian Opuntia ficus indica seeds (spiny and thornless form) were investigated. Results of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO(2)) and soxhlet n-hexane extract were compared. Quantitatively, the better yield was obtained through soxhlet n-hexane: 10.32% (spiny) and 8.91% (thornless) against 3.4% (spiny) and 1.94% (thornless) by SC-CO(2) extract (T = 40°C, P = 180 b...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of Chinese herbal medicine on blood profiles, muscle fatty acid, free amino acid and inosine composition in Wenchang chickens (the Chinese local breed). One hundred twenty, one-day-old female Wenchang chickens were randomly distributed into two dietary treatments in five replicates, each containing twelve birds for a period of 135 days. The d...

lipids play an important role in maintaining human health. thermal process cause to changes in nutritional value as well as changes in the profile of fatty acids in fish. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of frying on chemical composition and profile of fatty acids is fish shaary. for doing this project, 10 kg of the fish were purchased from the market of behbahan and with ice we...

Soil profiles are often many meters deep, but with the majority of studies in soil microbiology focusing exclusively on the soil surface, we know very little about the nature of the microbial communities inhabiting the deeper soil horizons. We used phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis to examine the vertical distribution of specific microbial groups and to identify the patterns of microbial ...

The pine nuts, as the most expensive ones, are a source of healthy oil. Accordingly, the hypothesis was genetic differences of pine species (Pinus spp.) affect their nut oil content and fatty acid phytovariability. A completely randomized design experiment with three replicates was done in Isfahan Flower Garden, Iran, using four pine species of chir pine (Pinus longifolia<...

The unique flavor of the proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is one key reasons why consumers prefer it. Fatty acids and amino have an important influence on nutrition millet. In this study, we identified fatty acids, volatile compositions in waxy non-waxy porridge by a headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method conjunction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We 8 7 e...

Accurate prediction of algal biofuel yield will require empirical determination of physiological responses to the environment, particularly light and temperature. One strain of interest, Nannochloropsis salina, was subjected to ranges of light intensity (5–850 μmol m s) and temperature (13–40 °C) and its exponential growth rate, total fatty acids (TFA) and fatty acid composition were measured. ...

This review aims to summarize the latest developments and recent knowledge regarding the fatty acids in fish and beef, their profiles and nutritional values. The paper covered the types of different fatty acids such as unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially the omega-3 in different fish species. The study also summarized the nutritional values of the fatty...
