In broiler chickens, hepatic lipid metabolism plays a significant role in whole body and muscle fatty acid (FA) incorporation. Flax seed is a rich source of α-linolenic acid and can be used to increase n-3 FA in poultry meat. Previous studies have shown that flax seed in combination with carbohydrase...
The purpose of this investigation was to modify the procedure
of Bills, Khatri and Day for use in the development of a suitable
method for determining the quantitative distribution of the free fatty
acids (FFA) in normal, heated, and rancid milk and milk fractions
The method consists of extracting the...
The variation in fatty acid composition between the "bound" and
"free" lipid in stored anchovy meal was determined using gas-liquid
chromatographic analysis. A model system of fresh anchovy oil on
powdered lactalbumin was also studied to determine the changes in
extractability and fatty acid composition which occur during oxidation.
All...
Studies were conducted to determine the effects of cyclopropenoid
fatty acids (CPFA) on the microsomal membrane of livers of rainbow
trout (Salmo gairdneri). Slab and tube gel electrophoresis of
microsomes from trout fed a CPFA diet (CPFA-microsomes) for varying
time periods showed a decrease in the number of protein bands...
Three studies were conducted to determine the effects of
cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) on the membrane components of livers
of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). In the first study, ¹⁴C-sterculic
acid was administered by intraperitoneal injection into rainbow trout
and the trout maintained for 72 hours. The labelled sterculic acid
was...
