The aim is to make the information readily accessible to a broad audience including producers, students, researchers and funding organisations. As the consumption of animal products increases globally, the demand for red meat will continue to grow. Along with this increased demand, the quality and health benefits of meat, for example, the possible role of omega-3 fatty acids in disease prevention, will be of greater importance to consumers. This latest Monograph outlines the possible benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from beef and lamb, and the ability to maximise these levels by feeding forage diets. In particular, the role of forage conservation and the inclusion of conserved forage in production feeding rations to achieve this goal is examined. This is the first Monograph focusing on animal nutrition and production. It provides an up-to- date summary of current research, and identifies gaps for future regional, national and international research opportunities. Professor Deirdre Lemerle Toni Nugent and Catriona Nicholls Director, Graham Centre for Editors Agricultural Innovation Omega-3 in ruminant nutrition - EH Clayton Graham Centre Monograph No. 4 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would sincerely like to thank Bill McKiernan (former manager, Livestock Production, NSW DPI) for his encouragement to pursue research into the effects of omega-3 fatty acids and the ability to manipulate the omega-3 content of meat. Much of the current review was conceived in the early days of our current research program. I would also like to thank the many researchers at the Wagga Wagga Agricultural Institute that have been involved with various aspects of our research, especially fatty acid analysis, including Richard Meyer, Jamie Ayton and Peter Hawkins. I would like to thank the Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation and Deirdre Lemerle for supporting our omega-3 research program and for providing preliminary funding for early research examining the effect of omega-3 on animal health and reproduction. I also thank Catherine Gulliver for her help initiating the research program examining the impact of omega-3 on reproduction in sheep. Catherine’s input, hard work and dedication made much of our current research possible. Thank you to the many people who have assisted with the collection of some of the data presented in the current Monograph, including Craig Lihou, Patricia O’Keeffe, the farm staff of the WWAI and a number of students from Charles Sturt University and Sydney University. I would also like to thank John Wilkins and John Piltz for many extremely helpful discussions about the effects of omega-3 fatty acids in sheep and cattle. I am particularly grateful to Robert Taylor and Robert Blake for teaching me a substantial amount about fatty acids and, in particular, fatty acid analysis. Their insights into all things to do with lipid and fatty acid extraction and analysis has helped me to form a solid base from which to start much of our current research. 4 Omega-3 in ruminant nutrition - EH Clayton Graham Centre Monograph No. 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is continued interest from researchers, health professionals and the general public in the potential health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Several theories link the consumption of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn-3PUFA) to reducing the incidence of disease conditions including cardiovascular disease, inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, and mental health disorders. Research efforts have focussed on the impact of two LCn- 3PUFA found in oily fish: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While EPA and DHA are only found in relatively low concentrations in red meat (including beef and lamb) compared with oily fish, the total LCn-3PUFA concentration in meat including docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-3) is significant. The impact of different production systems on the LCn-3PUFA content of meat has gained significant attention during the past 10–15 years. The current review summarises several possible health benefits of LCn-3PUFA in ruminants and humans and outlines the effects of different production systems on the content of beneficial fatty acids in meat. The LCn-3PUFA status of meat is significantly improved by incorporating fresh or conserved forage, compared with grain and concentrates, into the diet of ruminants. The ability of forages to maximise the amount of LCn-3PUFA in meat is dependent on the nature of forage, including the amount and type of lipid present and, is greater when animals consume fresh forage compared with hay or silage. Several research programs have examined the manipulation of lipid and fatty acid content of forages in order to maximise the amount of omega-3 available. There is scope to increase the amount of omega-3 available in silage by ensuring that it is produced under optimal conditions, including limiting wilting where possible and maximising the efficiency of fermentation. The current Monograph also reviews the observed and recommended intakes of LCn-3PUFA in the Australian population and the contribution of red meat intake (beef and lamb) to this intake. Red meat contributes approximately 40% of the average daily intake of LCn-3PUFA for adult men and women in Australia and there is the potential to significantly increase the consumption of LCn-3PUFA from meat by manipulating the diet of ruminants by incorporating forage or feeding forages with improved omega-3 availability. Several opportunities for future research programs are identified following the review of previous research, including the need for a survey of the amount of omega-3 available in pastures and forages grown in Australia and examination of the impact of ensiling forage on omega-3 concentrations under Australian conditions. There is a great need to determine measureable improvements in the health of those consuming meat enriched with LCn-3PUFA following the incorporation of forage into production diets. If the consumption of meat with enhanced LCn-3PUFA can decrease the incidence of disease, this would provide an incentive for producers to deliver this meat into the market.

  • Component, Fatty Acid and Mineral Composition of Rice Bran Oil Extracted by Multistage with Hexane and Ethanol
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 6, ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2017 ISSN 2277-8616 Component, Fatty Acid And Mineral Composition Of Rice Bran Oil Extracted By Multistage With Hexane And Ethanol Fajriyati Mas’ud, Meta Mahendradatta, Amran Laga, Zainal Zainal Abstract: Rice bran oil (RBO) has been extracted from Celebes rice bran by multistage extraction with hexane solvent followed by ethanol to see the component, profile of fatty acids and mineral contained in both of them. As a comparison, RBO directly extracted with ethanol was also presented. Extraction process was performed using reflux method at 55oC, for 5 hours with bran and solvent ratio of 1:7. Analysis of components and fatty acids of RBO was conducted with GC-MS QP 2010 Shimadzu. Oleic, linoleic and palmitic were found dominant in first stage extraction by hexane with concentration of 3716.56, 1630.78 and 1021.89 mg/L, respectively. Palmitic (6.34 mg/L), lauric (4.78 mg/L), and linoleic (3.52 mg/L) were dominant in the second stage extraction by ethanol. Linoleic (28.85 mg/L), stearic (2.88 mg/L) and myristic (2.02 mg/L) were found in extracted directly by ethanol. RBO extracted with hexane had 18.6% of saturated fatty acid and 81.4% of unsaturated fatty acids, with ratio of saturated fatty acids : monounsaturated fatty acids: polyunsaturated fatty acids of approximately 1: 2.3 : 1.3. It contained about 56.7% of monounsaturated, 24.7% of polyunsaturated, and 18.6% of saturated fatty acids. In the present paper, we provide also an analysis of mineral composition of RBO by X-ray Spectrometer and melting point of RBO by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) instrument.

Description 3.1 Prologue to Lipids In 1943, the term lipid was first used by BLOOR, a German biochemist. Lipids are heterogeneous group of compounds present in plants and animal tissues related either actually or potentially to the fatty acids. They are amphipathic molecules, hydrophobic in nature originated utterly or in part by thioesters (carbanion-based condensations of fatty acids and/or polyketides etc) or by isoprene units (carbocation-based condensations of prenols, sterols, etc). Lipids have the universal property of being: i. Quite insoluble in water (polar solvent) ii. Soluble in benzene, chloroform, ether (non-polar solvent) 3 METABOLISM OF LIPIDS Biochemistry Prologue to Lipids Thus, lipids include oils, fats, waxes, steroids, vitamins (A, D, E and K) and related compounds, such as phospholipids, triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides and others, which are allied more by their physical properties than by their chemical assests.

ELSD responses of different lipids were evaluated to elucidate the possibilities and challenges associated with quantification by means of HPLC-ELSD. Not only the number and type of polar functional groups but also the chain length and degree of unsaturation of (free or esterified) fatty acids (FAs) had a significant effect on ELSD responses. Tripalmitin and trilinolein yielded notably different ELSD responses, even if their constituting free FAs produced identical responses. How FA structure impacts ELSD responses of free FAs is thus not predictive for those of triacylglycerols and presumably other lipids containing esterified FAs. Because ELSD responses of lipids depend on the identity of the (esterified) FA(s) which they contain, fully accurate lipid quantification with HPLC-ELSD is challenging and time-consuming. Nonetheless, HPLC-ELSD is a good and fast technique to semi-quantitatively compare the levels of different lipid classes Citation: Melis, S.; Foubert, I.; between samples of comparable FA composition.
