Influence of fatty acids composition in different tissue of mice feeds with fis...

Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) play an important role in human health. Fish oils enriched with EPA and DHA have commercialized in triacylglycerol (TAG) and ethyl ester forms (EE). In this study, we compared the impact of diets containing fish oil in ethyl ester and triacylglycerol forms as a lipid source in five di...

Enteral nutrition with an emphasis on lipid composition: a review

Enteral nutrition (EN) delivers nutrients directly to the gastrointestinal system for individuals who are unable to swallow in acute and chronic phases. Lipids, then, play a significant role and are highly recommended due to their high caloric support that has supplements in enteral diets performed by adding foods that are rich sources of essential fatty acids, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PGPIs), linol...

Nutritional and lipid profiles of the dorsal and ventral muscles of wild pirarucu

The objective of this work was to analyze the proximate and fatty acid composition of the dorsal and ventral muscles of wild pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) captured from a Brazilian Amazonian lake. Dorsal and ventral muscles were dissected out, freeze-dried, vacuum-packed, and had the proximate and fatty acid composition analyzed. Ash, total proteins, and lipids were inversely proportional to moisture and had higher...

Centesimal composition, fatty acids profile and the nutritional quality index o...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the centesimal composition, fatty acid profile and the nutritional quality index of four seafood species: pink shrimp (Penaeus brasiliensis), Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), mussel (Perna perna) and octopus (Octopus vulgaris), that were collected in Santa Catarina, Brazil. The nutritional quality of the lipid fraction was evaluated by the index of thrombo...

Total lipid nutritional quality of the adipose tissue from the orbital cavity i...

 This study aimed to determine the fatty acid composition and nutritional quality indexes of total lipids in adipose tissue from the orbital cavity of Nile tilapia from continental aquaculture in Paraiba State, Brazil. The tilapias were captured in six fish farms, and after slaughtering and bleeding, the adipose tissue from the orbital cavity was reserved, frozen and lyophilized for analysis of fatty acid compo...

Quantification of fatty acids in salmon fillets conserved by different methods

 Lipid contents and the composition of fatty acids of fillets from Chilean salmon (Salmo salar) were determined under different conservation methods: fresh salmon, frozen salmon, water-conserved canned salmon and frozen salmon in long-term storage. Fatty acid contents were determined by gas chromatography. The fillets had high lipid levels, ranging between 9.71 and 12.86%. All samples presented high levels of m...

Liver fatty acid composition and inflammation in mice Fed with high-carbohydrat...

Total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of methanolic extracts of ten f...

The aim of this study is the provision of informations regarding the antioxidant molecules content in methanolic extracts of ten fruits through the correlation of total phenolic compounds with antioxidant capacity.  The former was determined through the Folin-Ciocalteu assay while the latter was measured by the DPPH· radical inhibition method. It was verified that the fruits possess positive correlation (R2 = 0...

Sacha inchi as potential source of essential fatty acids and tocopherols: multi...

The present study investigated the fatty acid composition, tocopherols and nutritional factors in the nut and shell of Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) through multivariate data analysis. The nut showed a high lipid content (48.5%), while the shell showed a low content (1.2%), although both parts of the plant had similar fatty acid composition. Low contents of saturated fatty acids were found in both parts, i...

Influence of diets enriched with different vegetable oils on the performance an...

The fatty acid profile of the carcass of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings fed diets enriched with different soybean, canola, sunflower, flaxseed, rice, and corn oils was examined. The results showed that palmitic (16:0), stearic (18:0), oleic (18:1 n 9), linoleic (18:2 n 6), and linolenic (18:3 n 3) acids were the predominant fatty acids in all vegetable oil, diet, and fish carcass samples analy...
