The production of Y-linolenic acid by Choanephora curcubitarum
Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is an essential fatty acid which has been shown to be beneficial for a large number of diseases. At present the fatty acid is marketed as a health product and the prime source of GLA is the evening primrose flower. There are several problems associated with producing the …

The development of an industrial process to produce AC γ-linolenic acid using Choanephora cucurbitarum
The objective of this work was to produce γ-linolenic acid (γLA) using a fungus in submerged fermentation. Selection work was aimed at identifying a fungal strain capable of yielding a high level of γLA in an industrial fermentation. Thirty-nine fungal strains were screened under shake flask …

Frying Stability of Low-Linolenic Acid Soybean Oil and Examination of the P-Anisidine Value Method
Study II was conducted to examine the relationship between p-anisidine value and headspace volatiles, sensory evaluation, and polymers. Partially hydrogenated soybean frying oil was used to fry shoestring potatoes. The oil was evaluated by p-anisidine value, headspace volatile analysis, sensory …

Studies on the Possible Regulatory Function of Dietary Alpha-Linolenic Acid in Prostaglandin Synthesis by Immunocompetent Cells
… in certain tissues. The role of essential fatty acid (EFA), and therefore of PGs, in cell-mediated immunity has increasingly become of interest. Prostaglandins have been implicated in many areas of the immune response. Three studies were conducted examining both in vivo and in vitro rat immune …

Effects of dietary alpha linolenic acid on biosynthesis of N-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in animals.
Omega-3 (n-3) long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), are important for normal health as well as growth and brain development in humans. These fatty acids can be consumed in the diet directly, or …

Fatty Acid Composition of Diets, Metabolism, and Deposition in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Pasture and Feedlot Finished Cattle
… high-concentrate finishing, over time, on fatty acid metabolism in Angus crossbred (n = 24) beef steers. Ruminal fluid, serum, and adipose tissue biposies were obtained on d 0, 28, 84, and 140. Pasture forages and diet ingredient samples were obtained at 14 d intervals to determine nutritive …

Nutritional and PGR effects on lipid unsaturation, osmoregulant content, and relation to bermudagrass cold hardiness
… better greenup in 2002. Proline and Linolenic acid levels were highest in Midiron, followed by Riviera, Tifway, and Princess. Nitrogen, SWE, and Fe generally did not have an effect on linolenic acid and no consistent effects were noted on proline concentration. Ethephon treatments did …

The agronomic and economic performance of flax in Iowa
… oil concentration of flaxseed, and the linoleic acid and linolenic acid concentrations of flaxseed oil. The experiment was conducted in central Iowa in 2007 and 2008, on land previously sown to either soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] or corn (Zea mays L.). Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) was …

Formulation and Physical, Chemical and Sensory Analysis of a Novel Flaxseed-enriched Milk-based Beverage to Deliver Omega-3 Fatty Acids
… beverages is occurring, and omega-3 fatty acids (FA) are one of the most commonly sought ingredients to fortify such beverages. Omega-3 FA produce beneficial health effects, likely due to their anti-inflammatory properties. The majority of current omega-3 FA-fortified products include …

Oxidative Stability of Conjugated Linoleic acid rich Soy Oil obtained by Heterogeneous Ruthenium Catalysis
<p>Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has multiple health benefits but it is difficult to obtain sufficient CLA in a healthy diet to obtain the clinical effects. A CLA rich-soy oil (CLARSO) with up to 20% CLA has been produced by heterogenous catalysis but no studies of its oxidative stability have …

Molecular approaches to improve soybean plant architecture and seed composition
… that the desired oil, the high oleic and low linolenic acid oil trait (HOLL; [greater than] 70% oleic and [less than] 3% linolenic acid), and meal value traits, the reduced seed content of the raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFO), can be successfully combined by genotype selection …

Effects of zinc fortification on the plasma fatty acid composition of Beninese school children : a randomised, double-blind controlled trial
… status biomarker is problematic. The linoleic acid: dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (LA:DGLA) ratio has been suggested by some researchers to be a Zn status marker. This is because Zn and fatty acids (FA) are known to interact, as Zn and FA deficient individuals present similar symptoms and physical …
