Diet with linseed oil and organic selenium yields low n‐6/n‐3 ratio pork Semimembranosus meat with unchanged volatile compound profiles

The aim of this was to improve n‐6/n‐3 ratio without affecting the volatile compounds profiles of pork. Different feeding strategies were designed for 60 Polish Landrace pigs with the goal to enhance the health attributes of Polish pork. Composition, colour, hardness, fatty acid contents and volatile compound profiles of the semimembranosus muscles were determined. Results showed that with the basic diet with the addition 3% of linseed oil, 100 mg kg^?1 of vitamin E and 1 mg kg^?1 of organic selenium, the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the meat samples was increased by 26% (P ≤ 0.05) as compared to the control. Principal component analysis (PCA) demonstrated that the aroma profile of semimembranosus muscles from pigs fed with the diet supplemented with 3% of linseed oil and 1 mg kg^?1 of organic selenium was close to that of control. Results demonstrated that healthy functional meats could be produced by designing feeding strategies.

Seasonal Variation in Proximate Composition and Fatty Acid Profile of Grey Triggerfish (Balistes capriscus) Captured Along the Coast of Portugal

Proximate composition (ash, moisture, total protein, and fat contents) and fatty acid profile of Balistes capriscus (grey triggerfish) were assessed over a 6‐months period (April to September, 2011) in animals captured along the coast of Peniche (Portugal). High protein (18.9% to 21.4%) and low lipid (0.5% to 0.8%) contents were determined. The highest lipid level was found in June‐captured animals. High proportions of n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 PUFA) were observed (53.87 ± 2.00%) together with substantial quantities of oleic acid (27.58 ± 1.09%) and palmitic acid (16.52 ± 0.93%). Docosahexaenoic acid accounted for 77% of the total PUFA and was 7 times more abundant than eicosapentaenoic acid, and the n‐3/n‐6 ratio was 7.2. Gender did not influence lipid levels and the fatty acid profile, but seasonal variations were observed for PUFA and monounsaturated fatty acid contents. Overall, the nutritional properties of this underexploited species may be comparable to those of other lean fish species with higher economic value.     

Effect of processing and storage on the fatty acid composition of n‐3 or n‐6 fatty acid‐enriched eggs

Fresh eggs from hens fed diets supplemented with 4% linseed oil (LO) or sunflower oil (SO) were either directly submitted to pasteurisation, hard‐boiling or scrambling processing, or first submitted to refrigerated storage at 4 °C for 60 day and then to processing. Fresh LO eggs showed higher (P ≤ 0.05) proportions of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), but lower (P ≤ 0.05) proportions of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), PUFAs and n‐6 PUFAs than the SO eggs. Storage decreased (P ≤ 0.05) the proportion of PUFAs and increased (P ≤ 0.05) that of MUFAs in egg yolks from both treatments. The pasteurisation process had no effect on the fatty acid composition of fresh eggs from both treatments, but increased (P ≤ 0.05) n‐6 PUFAs and decreased (P ≤ 0.05) n‐3 PUFAs in stored LO eggs. Hard‐boiling and scrambling modified the fatty acid composition of fresh and stored eggs from both treatments by decreasing (P ≤ 0.05) the proportion of PUFAs, particularly of the very long‐chain n‐3 eicosapentaenoic, docosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic PUFAs. LO eggs showed a higher susceptibility to fatty acid modification upon processing as compared to the SO eggs.

Optimisation of rancidity stability in long‐chain PUFA concentrates obtained from a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) by‐product

This research was focused on the production of polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrates from a farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) by‐product (i.e. belly muscle). The effect of different process variables (urea/fatty acids (FA) contents ratio, crystallisation time and temperature and stirring speed of the urea/FA mixture) on the lipid oxidation development during the urea complexation process was investigated. For this purpose, an experimental design (26 runs) following the response‐surface methodology was developed. As a result, peroxide value and TOTOX index showed to be dependent on the crystallisation time and temperature and the urea/FA ratio, while no influence of the crystallisation stirring speed was detected on both indices; additionally, polyene index was affected by the urea/FA ratio and its interaction with the crystallisation time. An optimised desirability score near 1.0 was attained provided values of 2.8 °C, 3.05 h and 3.57 were applied for crystallisation temperature, crystallisation time and urea/FA ratio, respectively.     

Effects of Trans and Conjugated LC N‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Lipid Composition and Abdominal Fat Weight in Rats

ABSTRACT: Trans and conjugated fatty acids may exhibit either beneficial or detrimental bioactive effects depending on their metabolic properties. This study was conducted to elucidate if isomerization and conjugation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) demonstrate more favorable bioactivity on lipid metabolism compared to unmodified EPA and DHA. The effects of dietary intake of trans and conjugated forms of EPA and DHA on lipid metabolism were evaluated in animal trials and compared to a control group fed soybean oil. None of the experimental diets showed significant differences from the control in terms of body weight; however, the white adipose tissue weight of rodents fed trans DHA, conjugated EPA (CEPA), and conjugated DHA (CDHA) was significantly lower than the control. Triacylglycerol levels in plasma were significantly decreased in groups fed trans DHA (17.2 mg/dL) and CDHA (31.9 mg/dL) relative to the control (51.3 mg/dL). The total cholesterol concentrations were significantly lower than the control (68.0 mg/dL) in all experimental groups (47.3 to 53.7 mg/dL) except CEPA (58.3 mg/dL). Fatty acid compositions of lipids extracted from rodent livers were influenced by the dietary fatty acid profiles, with all groups showing higher concentrations of stearic acid and lower levels of linoleic acid compared to the control. Rodents fed trans DHA did not have detectable levels of these fatty acid isomers in their livers, suggesting either quick metabolism or a difficulty with bio‐absorption.     

Importance of instrumental and sensory analysis in the assessment of oxidative deterioration of omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid‐rich foods

Omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC PUFA) positively influence human health. Their main dietary source is fish, especially fish oil. Owing to low fish consumption in many Western countries the average intake of omega‐3 LC PUFA is below the recommended level. This raises interest in diet supplementation and food enrichment with fish oil. However, due to a high degree of unsaturation fish oil is extremely susceptible to oxidation. Oxidation of fish oil increases when added to food products, which may be enhanced by some antioxidants, under certain conditions. For quality control of omega‐3 LC PUFA‐containing foods adequate and combined methods of oxidation assessment should be used, beginning from the raw material and continuing during processing, storage and distribution. To achieve this goal correlation of instrumental and sensory methods with multivariate data analysis may give the best results. In this paper problems of oxidation of fish oil and fish oil‐containing foods, as well as methods for its assessment, are reviewed. Copyright © 2006 Society of Chemical Industry     

Omega-3 LC PUFA Contents and Oxidative Stability of Encapsulated Fish Oil Dietary Supplements

The aim of this study was to examine omega-3 LC PUFA content and oxidative stability of fish oil dietary supplements available in Poland. Nineteen brands of fish body oil and fish liver oil capsules were purchased over the counter and analyzed. Oil content, fatty acid composition and peroxide value were determined. The label claims for EPA and DHA for the majority of the products were presented with reasonable accuracy. However, it can be supposed that the oxidative stability of some fish oil products available on the market might not be sufficient to ensure health quality and safety during longer storage.
