Another example is the cleavage of ricinoleic acid -n-n-n-n-n-N---so by the action of sodium hydroxide at a temperature of greater Petroselinic acid than 180°C.

Fatty Acid Composition of Oil from Adapted Elite Corn Breeding Materials Abstract The fatty acid composition of corn oil can be altered to meet consumer demands for “healthful” fats (i.e., lower saturates and higher monounsaturates). To this end, a survey of 418 corn hybrids and 98 corn inbreds grown in Iowa was done to determine the fatty acid composition of readily-available, adapted, elite corn breeding materials. These materials are those used in commercial hybrid production. Eighty-seven hybrids grown in France (18 of which also were grown in lowa) were analyzed to determine environmental influence on fatty acid content.

ABSTRACT Fatty acids C20-C26 are important for use in oleo-chemical industry whereas they also allow assessing chemotaxonomic relationships among plant taxa. There are however, comparatively few common vegetable fats which contain them in appreciable amounts.Using gas chromatography this type of very long-chain fatty acids was analyzed in oils from Pentaclethra macrophylla (Fabaceae), Millettia dura (Fabaceae), Tephrosia vogelii (Fabaceae),Cardiospermum halicacabum (Sapindaceae), Maesopsis eminii (Rhamnaceae), Podocarpus usambarensis (Podocarpaceae) and Myrianthus arboreus and M. holstii (Moraceae),wild plant species from Kahuzi-Biega National Park and adjacent areas in D.R. Congo. These plants are used by the local population mainly for nutrition and medical purposes.The percentage of very-long chain fatty acids in the analyzed oils ranged from 1.2 to 21.3%.

The fatty acid profiles obtained by gas chromatography (GC) showed that oleic acid (C18:1) is the most abundant fatty acid, followed by linoleic acid (C18:2) and palmitic acid (C16:0). The content of trans-oleic and trans-linoleic isomers was between 0.02% and 0.03%, while trans-linolenic isomers were between 0.06% and 0.09%. Discriminant analysis (DA) and orthogonal projection to latent structure—discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed to discriminate between argan oils from Essaouira, Taroudant, Tiznit, Chtouka-Aït Baha and Sidi Ifni.

Essential oil, fixed oil and many other valuable extractive compounds with industrial applications are prepared from caraway. This review article has new deep research on caraway as medicinal plant. For preparing the manuscript, the information was extracted from accessible international databases (Google scholar, PubMed, Science direct, Springer, and Wiley), electronic resources and traditional books by key word of caraway or Carum carvi. The results of traditional studies exhibited that the galactagogue and carminative effects of caraway fruits are superior to other effects. Although, the traditional scholars used it as appetizer, while caraway was the main ingredient of anti-obesity drugs in traditional medicine, which has been confirmed in two modern clinical trials of human studies. Caraway oil in combination with peppermint oil or menthol is used for treatment of functional dyspepsia in clinical studies. Caraway oil topically on abdomen relieves the IBS symptoms in patient. Although, the use of caraway oil is not recommended in adults under 18 years due to insufficient data, but it can topically use as anti-colic and carminative agent in children or infants. The anti- aflatoxigenic, antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of caraway oil along with its reputation as spice help the industries to use it as natural preservatives and antioxidant agents.

Fairbanks, AK August 2015 ABSTRACT Fatty acids, the main components of lipids, are crucial for energy storage and other physiological functions in animals and plants. Dietary fatty acids are incorporated and conserved in consumer tissues in predictable patterns and can be analyzed in animal tissues to determine the composition of an individual’s diet. This study measured the variation in fatty acid profiles of three abundant Arctic forage fish species, Arctic Cod (Boreogadus saida), Canadian Eelpout (Lycodespolaris), and Longear Eelpout (Lycodes seminudus) across multiple years (2010-2013) and geographic locations (Beaufort and Chukchi seas). These fishes are important prey items of marine mammals, sea birds, and predatory fishes, and as such they serve as a critical trophic step connecting lower trophic-level production to higher level predators. Analyzing forage fish fatty acid profiles across multiple years and geographic locations can provide insight into system-level trends in lipid transfer through the Arctic ecosystem.

    The Effects of Fish Oil (EPA+DHA) on Chronic Ventilator Patients in a Long Term Acute Care Setting: A Randomized Control Trial A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Nutrition in the Department of Nutritional Science of the College of Allied Health Sciences By: Jessica Harvey R.D., L.D. May 20, 2011 B.S.: The Ohio State University, 2008 Committee Chair: Sarah C. Couch, Ph.D., R.D. Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether patients in a long term acute care setting who received an enteral supplement containing EPA+DHA, would have a shorter weaning time from the ventilator, a decrease in length of hospital stay, decreased inflammatory markers, and number of infections from baseline to post-treatment compared to patients who received a placebo of normal saline solution. Methods: Nine participants who required mechanical ventilation and enteral nutrition support in a long term acute care hospital were randomized to either receive the treatment fish oil (n=5) or the placebo saline solution (n=4). Participants in the treatment group were given 8g fish oil per day through the enteral feeding tube for 14 days. Subjects randomized to the control group received a blinded saline solution for 14 days. All enteral supplement formulations were created by a certified pharmacist. Results: There were no significant differences between the treatment and control groups in regards to time to weaning, percent of days on the ventilator, or length of hospital stay.
