The extraction of monkfish liver oil (MLO) for the synthesis of omega-3 ethyl esters was performed evaluating two blending systems and four green solvents. Moreover, the potential solubility of the MLO in green solvents was studied using the predictive simulation software COSMO-RS. The production of the ethyl esters was performed by one or two step reactions. Novozym 435, two resting cells (Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus oryzae) obtained in our laboratory and mix of them were used as biocatalysts in a solvent-free system. The yields for Novozym 435, R.

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%.

According to the total carotenoid content (over 340 µg/g dw), mature strawberry tree berries can be classified as fruits with very high carotenoid content (> 20 µg/g dw).

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.
