Equal Importance

Artemia salina has been reared on unialgal diets of Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Monochrysis lutheri, Platymonas tetrahele and Chlamydomonas sp. In most instances the component fatty-acid distribution of the Artemia bore little resemblance to that of its food. Thus, oleic and stearic acids are relatively enriched in the shrimps, whereas hexadecatetraenoic acid is much depleted. It is suggested that the metabolic requirements of the shrimps is of at least equal importance to the composition of their food in determining the component fatty-acid distribution of their lipids.

Samples of the infaunal invertebrates Nephtys incisa and Yoldia limatula from Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, have been analyzed for their fatty acid distribution. Based on total fatty acids, Yoldia contains 9–16% of an acid tentatively identified as 22:2. The ratios of 18:1/18:0 and 18:1/20:1 fatty acids of Nephtys from a polluted station in the bay are lower than the corresponding ratios for animals from relatively clean areas.

Lipid Fractions

Cod flesh lipids were separated by silicic acid chromatography into eight fractions, and the fatty acid distribution in five of these was examined by gas–liquid chromatography (GLC). As compared with the fatty acid composition of total flesh lipids, sterol esters contained less 16:0 but more 20:5ω3; ethanolamine phosphatides contained less 16:0, less 20:5ω3, but more 22:6ω3; serine phosphatides contained less 16:0 and less 20:5ω3 but more 18:0; and choline phosphatides had a fatty acid composition roughly similar to that of total flesh lipid but containing slightly more 16:0 and 20:5ω3 and less 22:6ω3. In fatty acid composition, the triglycerides more closely resembled liver lipid than any of the flesh lipid fractions.

The screening of lesser-known underutilized seeds as source of food has been a way of finding solution to food insecurity in developing nations. In this regard, oil as a class of food was extracted from the seeds ofDiospyros mespiliformis  (4.72±0.2%),Albizia lebbeck  (6.40±0.60%), andCaesalpinia pulcherrima  (7.2±0.30%). The oils were finally analyzed for their fatty acid composition, lipid classes, fatty acid distribution in the lipid fractions, and molecular speciation of the triacylglycerols, glycolipids, and phospholipids. The fatty acid composition of the oils varied with C18:2 fatty acid being the most dominant in the oils. Neutral lipids were the most abundant lipid class found in the oils while molecular species of the triacylglycerol with equivalent carbon chain number C40 was majorly present in the oils ofDiospyros mespiliformisandCaesalpinia pulcherrima. The present study presents lesser-known underutilized seeds as possible sources of food.
