evaluation of four safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes for oil content and fatty acidcomposition showed that oil content varied from 22.16 to 34.39% and the highest seed oilcontent was obtained from isfahan14 genotype (34.39%, respectively). among those fatty acidswere detected, linoleic acid (75.81- 77.86%) was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic(12.57–13.75%), palmitic (6.0...

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<...

Feed represents over 65 percent of the cost for poultry production. Fast-growing and high-producing poultry are fed high calorie and high protein maize-soybean-based diets. Considering the high demand for maize and other oil crops for biofuel production, finding alternative sources of energy could reduce production costs. Camelina sativa is an oilseed crop of the Brassica family that is emergin...

Sources of fatty acids flowing to the liver may be used for triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis. Our objective was to quantify contributions of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs), de novo lipogenesis, and dietary fatty acids to VLDL-TAG in the fed state after meal feeding in healthy subjects (n = 6). The effect of substrate delivery rate was also determined by comparison with data obtained under a c...

the presented study shows a simple way for optimization of extrusion process, which was used for deterioration of cyanogenic glycosides – antinutritive components of linseed, with minimum damage of essential alpha-linolenic acid (ala) at the same time. extrusion of the material was done on a laboratory single screw extruder. content of hydrogen cyanide (hcn) as a measurement of cyanogenic glyco...

Linseed is well known for abundant content of α-linolenic acid why it has been widely used as a source of n-3 fatty acid. Higher ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids can increase lipid peroxidation. Selenium (Se) plays a key role in antioxidant enzymes and can therefore be regarded for use in attempts focused on protection of fatty acids from oxidation. The organic Se has been shown to have hig...

To test the hypothesis that intrahepatic availability of fatty acid could modify the rate of suppression of endogenous glucose production (EGP), acipimox or placebo was administered before and during a test meal. We used a modified isotopic methodology to measure EGP in 11 healthy subjects, and (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopic measurement of hepatic triglyceride stores was also undertaken....
