Study Heterogeneity

Automated method of fatty acid analysis was used to identify and study heterogeneity of 41 Erwinia amylovora strains, originating from 8 plant species grown in 13 locations in Serbia and one in Montenegro. All strains contained 14:0 3OH fatty acid, characteristic for the ?amylovora? group. According to fatty acid composition 39 strains were identified as E. amylovora as the first choice from the database. Due to their specific fatty acid composition, two strains were identified as E. amylovora, but as a second choice. Fatty acid analysis also showed that E. amylovora population from Serbia could be differentiated in three groups, designated in this study as ?, ? and ?. All strains originating from central or south Serbia, as well as four strains from north Serbia clustered into group ?. Group ? and ? contained only strains isolated in northern Serbia (Vojvodina). The results show that E. amylovora population in this area is heterogeneous and indicate pathogen introduction from different directions. Fatty acid analysis enabled identification at species level, as well as new insights of heterogeneity of E. amylovora population.

Among the oilseed Brassica crops, Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss.] is an important source of oil from a nutritional point of view. The nutritional value of oil and cake quality is governed mainly by the composition of its fatty acids, iodine value, saponification, acid value, glucosinolates, crude fibre, protein and limiting amino acids, etc. Seventeen varieties/strains of Indian mustard were taken for saturated and unsaturated fatty acid analysis. The eicosenoic was absent in genotype (NUDBYJ-10) and erucic acid (NUDBYJ-10, LES-46 and Pusa mustard- 21). The fatty acid composition found a variable in different genotypes. Saturated fatty acid, Palmitic + Stearic ranged between 2.3 to 6.5%, Oleic 10.6 to 40.7%, Linoleic 16.1 to 37.7%, Linolenic 13.3 to 26.7%, Eicosenoic 0.00 to 10.30% and Erucic acid 0.00 to 47.50%, respectively. Alternaria blight severity also varied in different genotypes and ranged between 18.75 to 56.25%, maximum being in genotype Kranti and minimum in LES-47. No significant correlation was observed between the fatty acid composition and disease severity. The oil content range from 38.1 to 42.60% and protein content was found highest in variety RGN-73. The amino acid viz. methionine and tryptophan range between 0.41 to 1.81 g/16gN and 0.41 to 1.81 g /16g N, respectively.

Dietary Treatments

Seventy-two feeder pigs, with a mean weight of 24.6 kg, were randomly allotted in groups of three to four dietary treatments to determine the effect of feeding poultry offal hydrolysate (POH) on fatty acid composition and meat quality. The four dietary treatments were: 0% POH (control), 5% POH, 10% POH and 15% POH on a dry matter basis. At slaughter (96.8 kg), the right loins from 60 pigs were retained for fatty acid analysis and meat quality evaluation. The longissimus dorsi muscle was dissected from each loin; 200 g were stored in an atmosphere of nitrogen and frozen for fatty acid analysis and 500 g were frozen for meat quality evaluation. Fat was extracted and methylated for fatty acid analysis. Separation and identification of individual fatty acid methyl esters was performed using gas chromatography. Sensory meat evaluation (pork flavour, off-flavour, tenderness and juiciness) was performed by 10 trained panelists. Warner-Bratzler shear evaluation and free moisture analyses were performed. The fatty acids in pork appear to exhibit a sensitive response to changes in dietary fat. Linear trends for fatty acids in the pork were, for the most part, opposite to trends in the diets. Inclusion of POH resulted in an increase in the total polyunsaturates present in the pork. There was no effect (P > 0.05) due to dietary treatment on flavour, tenderness or juiciness of the pork. No significant differences were found among the Warner-Bratzler shear measurements or free moisture determinations. Changes in fatty acid profile of pork do not appear to affect eating quality when POH is included in the diet at levels of up to 15% DM. Key words: Poultry offal, pork, fatty acid, meat quality

Preen Oil

Manipulation of the fatty acid composition of chicken feed has been shown to be effective for improving the nutritional value of chicken products. Currently, however, evaluation of the effectiveness of this approach requires invasive blood sampling or post mortem tissue sampling of the birds. Preen oil can be collected non-invasively from live birds. So this study aimed to test the hypothesis that the fatty acid composition of preen oil reflects that of the blood. Male and female meat chickens (Cobb 500) were fed a diet supplemented with 4% (w/w) flaxseed oil (high n-3 polyunsaturates) or beef tallow (mostly monounsaturates and saturates) for 6 weeks. Preen oil and whole blood samples (n = 9 birds per sex/diet treatment group) were collected freshly post mortem for fatty acid analysis. Preen oil analysis showed that ~97% of fatty acids were saturates, with a small percentage of n-6 polyunsaturates and traces of other types. There were negligible n-3 polyunsaturates in preen oil. Proportions of some saturated fatty acids were slightly, but significantly, affected by diet (C16:0 (P < 0.05) and C17:0 (P < 0.01)) or by gender (C10:0 and C18:0) (P < 0.05). Some fatty acids with odd numbers of carbon atoms (e.g. C17:0 and C19:0) were found in relatively high concentrations in preen oil, despite not being detectable in either the diet or blood. In conclusion, the fatty acid composition of preen oil does not accurately reflect the fatty acid profile of the blood; it is not, therefore, a suitable alternative for determining fatty acid status of meat chickens.

For coconut oil, the composition of medium length of fatty acids such as caprylic, capric and lauric acids are the interest of the oil. To date, this fatty acid composition is the best to be analyzed by gas chromatography.  In Indonesia, there are two laboratories used to analyze the fatty acids.  The purpose of this study is to compare the two laboratories in the analysis the compounds.  Samples of commercial coconut oils were treated with acid and base to converted into Fatty acid methyl ester.  The derivatives were extracted with hexane and ready to be send to the laboratories.  The results show the chromatogram of the two laboratories is totally difference. The chromatograph from Laboratory 1 showed very good base line but there was no stearic fatty acid peak shown  The retention time for the same fatty acids is different. Peak areas among the same fatty acids are totally different between the two laboratories, but the percentage for each fatty acid is almost the same. Keywords: gas chromatography, retention time

Abstract Modification of fatty acid composition can improve the keeping quality of peanut oil and may expand markets for peanut usage. Modification may involve hybridization to recombine existing genes, or the creation of new variability through mutagenesis or transformation with genes from other organisms. Identification of the fatty acid composition of individual seed could improve the chances of obtaining peanut genotypes with desired fatty acid composition. Published techniques for fatty acid analysis of individual peanut seed require the use of approximately half the cotyledonary seed tissue and utilize a process of solvent extraction and esterification. We have used a procedure that requires a small fraction of seed tissue and analyzes fatty acids through direct transmethylation. Comparisons were made between procedures using seven genotypes representing a wide range of fatty acid composition variability. Quantities of fatty acids with C&lt;20 were not statistically different between tests. While some differences were observed in longer-chained fatty acids (C≥20), the relative values among genotypes were similar. This procedure maintains greater integrity of the seed for planting purposes, requires less time and cost for fatty acid analysis, and can improve efficiency of individual seed analysis.

Pigs were fed diets with and without 250 ppm supplemental copper and kept outside during winter with unheated colony houses for shelter, or in a heated barn. Lipids were extracted from the outer backfat and pure triglycerides were prepared by thin-layer chromatography. Fatty acid analysis indicated only minor changes in fatty acid composition of the triglycerides due to either dietary copper or environmental temperature. Fatty acid analysis of the total lipid extract, however, indicated that there were differences between the two methods of evaluation. The lipid extract analysis gave a more unsaturated fatty acid pattern than that of the pure triglycerides. Although the fatty acid composition was not altered significantly by type of rearing (outside vs. inside), there was an increased proportion (P < 0.05) of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) due to dietary copper when the fatty acid composition was determined on the lipid extract. This suggests that lipid fractions other than triglycerides were enriched in UFA and that the effect of dietary copper on the fatty acid composition of adipose tissue lipid is due to changes in the composition of other lipid fractions, possibly free fatty acids. This may be related to a disturbance in the balance between lipolysis and reesterification of fatty acids.

AbstractOrchid seeds are among the smallest seeds in nature and they are naturally rich in fatty acids. However, the fatty acid composition of orchid seeds has not been investigated because the sample masses utilized for widely used methods for fatty acid profiling would generally require prohibitively large numbers (i.e. 10,000s) of seeds. The present work aimed to develop a method for fatty acid analysis using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry on small quantities (mg) of seeds. The method was developed using the seeds of two species, Dactylorhiza fuchsii, a temperate terrestrial, and Grammatophyllum speciosum, a tropical epiphyte. A range of sample masses was tested to determine the minimum mass required to achieve reliable fatty acid composition data. A direct transesterification method was used, which did not require extraction of fatty acids from seeds prior to analysis, and the effects of seed processing (crushed versus intact seeds) and incubation time in toluene on fatty acid yield were tested. Stable fatty acid profiles were obtained using as little as 10 mg of seeds. Neither crushing the seeds nor extending the toluene incubation step had much effect on the fatty acid yield. The simple direct transesterification method presented will enable the fatty acid composition of orchid seeds, and possibly other small seeds, to be determined reliably for studies into seed development, storage and germination.

Odontocete blubber has been shown to be variable in composition and can be separated into strata visually, histologically, and biochemically. The purpose of this study was to examine fatty acid composition of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821)) blubber, and determine if differences exist between body sites, reproductive states, and (or) seasons. The influence of these variables on blubber composition could aid in the creation of a model that would use fatty acid signature analysis to evaluate diet in free-ranging populations. Blubber samples were obtained from freshly dead animals along the Texas and Louisiana coastlines. Samples from nine body sites were analyzed to investigate site variability, and from one site to evaluate differences due to season, reproductive state, and blubber layer. All body sites of animals sampled in the winter were statistically indistinguishable, indicating that biopsy samples could be obtained from any location on the animal for fatty acid analysis during this season; however, three distinct blubber layers were identifiable, and reproductive states were significantly different in terms of fatty acid composition. Seasonal differences in fatty acid composition were also highly significant for all one-site inner blubber layer samples. Ultimately, the differences in fatty acid composition could have resulted from dietary or physiological factors and need to be examined further.

With escalating populace pressure and fast exhaustion of natural resources, it has become extremely vital to diversify the present time agriculture with the cultivation of some wild varieties of tubers, rhizomes and corms in order to meet various human nutrient needs. However, information regarding fatty acid composition is inadequate. The purpose of the present study was to examine the fatty acid composition of six samples of wild corms (Alocasia macrorrhiza, Amorphophallus paeoniifolius var. campanulata, A. sylvaticus, Colocasia esculenta, Xanthosoma sagittifolium, X. violaceum two species of rhizomes (Canna indica and Maranta arundinacea) and three species of tubers (Asparagus racemosus, Nymphaea pubescens and N. rubra) in order to assess the nutritional and biochemical significance. The total lipid was extracted from the corms, rhizomes and tubers using chloroform and methanol mixture in the ratio of 2:1 (w/v). Methyl esters were prepared from the lipids. Fatty acid analysis was performed by gas chromatography. Among the investigated species, corm of X. sagittifolium registered the highest amount of palmitic acid. Similarly, tubers of A. racemosus exhibited the highest amount of linoleic acid. The present investigation demonstrated that the corms, rhizomes and tubers act as a good source of fatty acid.
