Latar Belakang : Masyarakat Indonesia diketahui gemar mengonsumsi jamu. Pada riskesdas tahun 2010 diketahui bahwa 59,12% masyarakat Indonesia mengonsumsi jamu. Jamu merupakan minuman asli Indonesia yang terbuat dari tumbuh-tumbuhan untuk tujuan pengobatan. MUFA dan PUFA banyak di temukan pada tumbuh-tumbuhan.   MUFA (Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acid) & PUFA (Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acid) merupakan golongan lemak tak jenuh yang dapat menurunkan kadar LDL serta menaikkan kadar HDL dalam darah.Tujuan : Untuk mengetahui profil monounsaturated dan polyunsaturated fatty acids dalam plasma darah wanita yang mengonsumsi jamuMetode : Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah relawan dalam penelitian adalah 127 orang. Kadar MUFA & PUFA dalam plasma darah diukur menggunakan GC-MS. Hasil pengukuran kemudian dianalisis secara statistik dengan menggunakan uji distribusi frekuensi dan one-way ANOVA dengan taraf kepercayaan 95%.Hasil : Rata-rata kadar asam lemak pada  relawan yang minum jamu adalah MUFA 0,176% dan PUFA 0,012% . Jenis MUFA dan PUFA yang teridentifikasi di dalam darah relawan wanita yang mengonsumsi jamu di Kabupaten Bantul adalah Palmitoleic acid, Oleic acid (MUFA) dan Linolenic acid (PUFA). Relawan dengan nilai BMI < 18,5 (kurus) memiliki kadar MUFA yang paling tinggi dibandingkan relawan dengan nilai BMI ≥ 18,5.Kesimpulan : Ditemukan kadar MUFA yang lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan PUFA pada plasma darah relawan wanita yang mengonsumsi Jamu.  Terdapat hubungan antara kadar MUFA dengan nilai BMI.Kata kunci: MUFA, Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acid, PUFA, Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acid, Jamu.

Dietary supplements of stearic, palmitoleic, and linoleic acids, as representative of saturated, mono-unsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, respectively, did not appreciably affect the relative composition of fatty acids in waxmoth larvae. Frass analysis demonstrated that most of the fatty acids in excess of their relative composition in the insect are excreted and speculations are made as to the possible mechanism involved in the retention of the characteristic fatty acid pattern.

AbstractThis study investigated the efficiency of growth and the carcass characteristics of 24 Greyface (Border Leicester × Scottish Blackface), 24 Texel (12 purebred and 12 Texel × Texel-Greyface) and 24 Rouge (12 purebred and 12 Rouge × Rouge-Greyface) lambs finished on the same level of feeding. The efficiency of live-weight gain (kg/MJ) was higher in Greyface compared with Texel lambs (P< 0·01). The efficiency of empty body-weight gain (kg/MJ) was higher in Greyface (P< 0·01) and Rouge (P< 0·05) compared with Texel lambs. The efficiency of carcass gains (kg/MJ) tended to be higher in Greyface and Rouge compared with Texel lambs (P= 0·07). The efficiency of non-carcass component gains (kg/MJ) was also higher in Greyface compared with Texel lambs (P0·05). Carcass water, protein, lipid and ash gains did not vary significantly between the genotypes, however carcass energy gain tended to be higher in Greyface and Rouge compared with Texel lambs (P= 0·08). The relative proportions of water, protein, lipid and ash in carcass gains did not vary significantly between the genotypes. At the end of the experiment carcass water content was higher in Texel compared with Greyface lambs (P< 0·05) and carcass ash content was lower in Texel compared with Greyface (P< 0·01) and Rouge (P< 0·05) lambs. The concentration of saturated fatty acids was higher in Greyface compared with Rouge lambs (P< 0·001) and higher in Rouge compared with Texel lambs (P< 0·05). Monounsaturated fatty acid concentrations were higher in Rouge compared with Greyface lambs (P< 0·05) and higher in Texel compared with Rouge lambs (P< 0·001). Polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrations were higher in Rouge and Texel compared with Greyface lambs (P< 0·01). The ratio of n-6:n-3 fatty acids was lower in Rouge compared with Greyface lambs (P< 0·05).The efficiency of empty body gain was higher in male compared with female lambs (P< 0·05). Carcass water (P< 0·01) and protein (P< 0·05) gains were higher in male lambs. At the end of the experiment male carcasses contained a higher content of water (P< 0·05), protein (P< 0·01) and ash (P= 0·07), and a lower lipid (P< 0·05) and energy (P< 0·001) content. Carcass lipids from male lambs contained a higher concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (P< 0·001) and tended to contain a lower concentration of saturated fatty acids (P = 0·06).

Purpose This study aimed to analyze the lipid content and fatty acid composition in the liver and muscle of a porcupinefish species inhabiting waters around the Ryukyu Islands to investigate their potential as a source of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs). Design/methodology/approach Porcupinefish were collected along the Okinawa Island coast. The composition of fatty acids and cholesterol in both liver and muscle were analyzed using a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer. Findings The liver of Okinawan long-spine porcupinefish was rich in lipids whose content correlated to the proportion of liver/body weight. Fatty acid compositions in their liver and muscles were similar to each other. LC-PUFAs occupied 44% of total fatty acids, with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) being the dominant (42%), whereas eicosapentaenoic acid occupied 2.4%. The liver contained 1,690 mg of cholesterol and 14.8 g of DHA per 100 g, whose proportion decreased in summer compared to other seasons (p = 0.036). Originality/value The liver of Okinawan long-spine porcupinefish, which has not yet been commercially used although its non-toxicity is claimed, can be an excellent source of LC-PUFAs, especially DHA, accentuating its potential in food supplements’ production.
