TUDIES ON THE FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF HOP EXTRACT

Studies on fatty acids composition of hop extract obtained from Vurtenberg hop by extraction with a threecomponent mixture was carried out. It has been established that the content of fatty acids in hop extract is 0.3% ±5%. Fatty acids composition was determined by Gas-chromatographic analysis. The presence of the following unsaturated fatty acids has been proven: C_16:1; C_18:1; C_18:2; C_18:3; C_20:1 which represent about 40% of the general content of fatty acids in the extract.     

温度对海洋微藻生长及脂肪酸组成的影响

研究了不同温度下,三角褐指藻和等鞭金藻生长及脂肪酸组成.结果表明,三角褐指藻的最适生长温度为20℃,而等鞭金藻的最适生长温度为25℃.无论是三角褐指藻的EPA还是等鞭金藻的DHA,均随着培养温度的升高而下降.低温有利于三角褐指藻积累EPA和PUFAs,但PUFAs含量（W/W）在10-20℃之间差异不显著（P＞0.05）.虽然等鞭金藻DHA含量随着温度的上升而下降,但PUFAs在20℃时含量（W/W）最高,为10.5%.不同海洋微藻不仅具有不同的生长温度,且最适PUFAs合成的温度也不同.     

LONG-CHAIN FATTY ACID COMPOSITION AS A CRITERION FOR YEAST DISTINCTION IN THE BREWING INDUSTRY

The diversity of yeasts isolated from brewing plants and its role on beer quality makes yeast distinction a major concern in industrial microbiological control. Several approaches have been tried to develop rapid and simple methods to perform such tasks. Among these, stands the utilization of long-chain fatty acid composition of total yeast biomass. In this paper results are reported showing the potential of this technique to characterize yeast flora isolated from industrial plants. Fatty acid profiles of brewing species are clearly differentiated from those of non-Saccharomyces strains using statistical data treatment by principal component analysis (PCA). Distinction between brewing and wild strains of Saccharomyces spp. was not apparent. In comparison, fatty acid profiling showed higher discriminating ability than growth on lysine medium for non-Saccharomyces strains. For distinction of S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus from other Saccharomyces strains, growth on starch medium showed to be necessary.
