Doses from 0.002 to 2.0 ppm of benzyladenine (BA) increased the water content in 15-day-old plants of Lemna minor L. However, a concentration of 5.0 ppm decreased it. The total esterified fatty acid content increased up to 2.0 ppm and decreased at 5.0 ppm, compared with controls. The BA increased the percentages of total palmitic and α-linolenic acids and decreased the percentage of total linoleic acid, mainly for higher doses. At 2.0 and 5.0 ppm of BA, the proportions of phospholipids increased strongly as compared with galactolipids (especially the diacylgalactosylglycerol) and total neutral lipids. In phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphotidylinositol, the α-linolenic acid content exhibited a marked increase at the expense of linoleic acid of these phospholipids. The percentage of α-linolenic acid in diacylgalactosylglycerol remained constant in the presence of BA, but it decreased in diacyldigalactosylglycerol. At concentrations of 2.0 and 5.0 ppm, the α-linolenic acid content of total neutral lipids increased greatly. The modifications observed in the lipid composition of L. minor, at 2.0 and 5.0 ppm in BA, suggest that the cell membranes (particularly those of chloroplasts) and their functions may be altered by these high doses of cytokinin.

The lipids and the fatty acids of duck weed (Lemna minor L.), cultivated aseptically during 5, 10, or 15 days in mineral solution containing sublethal concentrations of atrazine (0.05 to 0.75 ppm), were analysed by thin-layer and gas–liquid chromatography. All concentrations of atrazine used, independently of age of plants, increased the total fatty acid content, except for 5-day plants at 0.50 and 0.75 ppm atrazine where a decrease in total fatty acids was observed. α-Linolenic acid content increased while linoleic acid content decreased. Sublethal concentrations of atrazine increased the percentage of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol compared with total phospholipids and total neutral lipids. Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol was the main lipid involved in the α-linolenic acid increase observed in the total fatty acids. The increase in α-linolenic acid and in monogalactosyldiacylglycerol in the presence of sublethal concentrations of atrazine is an indication that these treatments maintain intact and fully functional chloroplast membranes.

Goat milk and goat milk products are very valuable in human nutrition because of their favorable nutrient composition which can be further boosted by the addition of prebiotic fiber and probiotic bacteria. It has also been possible to change the fatty acid profile of goat milk through feed composition. The aim of this study was to increase the nutritional value of goat milk by producing a probiotic yoghurt drink made from milk with elevated omega-3 fatty acids and enriched with natural yacon prebiotics. Goat nutrition is one of the key factors how we can naturally increase omega-3 fatty acid content in goat milk. In our study, twenty four White Shorthair goats were divided into the control and experimental group which was supplemented with 55 mL of linseed oil per day for eight weeks to increase the monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid content in the milk. The yoghurt milk drinks were formulated from individual goat milk samples with added bifidobacteria and yacon prebiotics. Our results showed that goat feed supplementation with linseed oil indeed positively changed fatty acid profile of goat milk in which α-linolenic acid content increased while, at the same time, lauric, myristic and palmitic acid contents decreased. Also, yoghurt drinks enriched with yacon prebiotics have shown higher bifidobacteria counts compared to the control.

Soybeans are low in saturated fat and a rich source of protein, dietary fiber, and isoflavone; however, their nutritional shelf life is yet to be established. This study evaluated the change in the stability and quality of fatty acids in raw and roasted soybean flour under different storage temperatures and durations. In both types of soybean flour, the fatty-acid content was the highest in the order of linoleic acid (18-carbon chain with two double bonds; C18:2), oleic acid (C18:1), palmitic acid (C16:0), linolenic acid (18:3), and stearic acid (C18:0), which represented 47%, 26%, 12%, 9%, and 4% of the total fatty-acid content, respectively. The major unsaturated fatty acids of raw soybean flour—oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid—decreased by 30.0%, 94.4%, and 97.7%, and 38.0%, 94.8%, and 98.0% when stored in polyethylene and polypropylene film, respectively, after 48 weeks of storage under high-temperature conditions. These values were later increased due to hydrolysis. This study presents the changes in composition and content of two soybean flour types and the changes in quality and stability of fatty acids in response to storage temperature and duration. This study shows the influence of storage conditions and temperature on the nutritional quality which is least affected by packing material.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Cinq catégories de pépins de Cabernet Sauvignon ont été séparées à la véraison. Plus de 95 p. 100 des acides gras sont contenus dans les lipides neutres.

The influence of transplanting time on the growth of evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.) was investigated for 3 yr. Delaying transplanting reduced the yield of seed in two of these years. The amount of oil in the seed was not influenced by time of transplanting, and only in one year did the γ-linolenic acid content of the oil decrease with delays in transplanting. Key words: Evening primrose, transplanting date, oil content, γ-linolenic acid

The production of neutral lipids and phospholipids by submerged cultures of the mushroom Tricholoma nudum, as well as the fatty acid composition of these two fractions, was studied as a function of time. The bulk of the neutral lipids was produced after 2 days when the organism appeared to be in a non-proliferative phase. The major fatty acids of the neutral lipids were palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acid (23–35% each); stearic acid was a minor component (8–13%); myristic, palmitoleic, and linolenic acid were present in small amounts (0.5–4.8%). The major fatty acid of the phospholipids was linoleic acid (55–70%); palmitic (15–19%), stearic (1.8–4.6%), and oleic (7–19%) acid were minor components; myristic, palmitoleic, and linolenic (0–2.3%) were present in small amounts. Linolenic acid was a major fatty acid (26–30%) only in the early stages of growth.A preliminary investigation was carried out with a 4-day-old culture to establish the identity of the various components of the neutral lipids and phospholipids. The neutral lipids were mainly triglycerides (92%). Small amounts of ergosterol esters (1%), free fatty acids (< 1%), ergosterol (1.7%), and unidentified non-saponifiable compounds were also present. The phospholipids contained phosphatidyl choline (59%) as the major component; phosphatidyl ethanolamine (26%), phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidic acid (7.8%), and an inositol containing phospholipid were minor components.Some of the techniques applied were specially developed for the present type of studies and are described in detail.

Variation among F3 seeds from a single head for linoleic acid content was high (50.0-72.7%) and appeared unrelated to seed position. Fatty acid content of seeds within self-pollinated heads was not affected by unfilled, adjacent seeds. Thus single seed selections for linoleic acid content should not be biased. No general relationship between fatty acid level and seed position was evident from, analyses of bulk samples except that palmitic acid content of seeds from the upper half of heads (7.4%) was higher than from the lower half (6.5%). This may be related to the negative correlation (r = -0.45) between palmitic acid content and seed size. Fatty acid content and weight of seeds from the lower half of heads were less variable than from the upper half.
