The demand for healthy foods has also increased the demand for wild and farmed tambaqui since it is a fish rich in omega-3, -6 and -9. To determine which of the two types of fish has the best nutritional quality and thus test the hypothesis that there are no nutritional differences between the groups of fish evaluated, the method of ultraviolet absorption spectrophotometry was used. For this, tambaqui from different environments (wild and farmed) were obtained in the states of Amazonas and Rondonia, Brazil. The fish groups showed differences in the concentrations of omega-3, -6 and -9 (ANOVA, F (8.30) = 16.213, and p < 0.01), both between states and between environments. The wild fish of the Amazonas state presented the best quality meat, and exhibited the highest concentrations of omega-3 (0.223 g ± 0.05 g) and omega-9 (0.208 g ± 0.04 g), which also implies the presence of omega-6, while the other group of fish exhibited the lowest values of omega in their composition.

Potential Use

Halophytes have gradually been introduced in marine integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems due to their capacity to bioremediate nutrient-rich marine effluents and their potential use for human consumption due to their content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (FA). To foster the valorization of halophytes produced using an IMTA framework for human consumption, it is important that culture conditions keep or enhance their FA profile, when compared to that displayed by conspecifics in the wild. The main objective of the present study was to compare the FA profiles of three halophyte species (Halimione portulacoides, Salicornia ramosissima and Sarcocornia perennis) cultured in aquaponics coupled to an IMTA system with that of wild conspecifics retrieved from donor sites. The FA profiles were compared considering different plant organs (edible parts and roots) and sampling dates (spring, summer and autumn). Results show that the FA profiles of specimens cultured in aquaponics were significantly different from that of wild conspecifics, displaying a high content of omega-3 FAs in edible parts, particularly during summer, and mostly in the form of α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3). In more detail, for the specimens cultured in aquaponics, ALA concentration in the edible parts of each species ranged from 5.10 to 7.11 μg mg−1 DW in H. portulacoides, from 5.66 to 9.19 μg mg−1 DW in S. ramosissima and from 5.49 to 7.20 μg mg−1 DW in S. perennis. Concerning the omega-6 linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) identified in edible parts, the concentrations ranged from 2.25 to 2.46 μg mg−1 DW in H. portulacoides, from 3.26 to 4.84 μg mg−1 DW in S. ramosissima, and from 2.17 to 3.06 μg mg−1 DW in S. perennis. The nutritional quality was assessed through the ratio of PUFA/SFA, for both wild and cultured plants, and revealed values well above the threshold (0.45), the threshold value indicative of good nutritional quality. Overall, the culture conditions tested in the present work reinforce the potential of aquaponics coupled to marine IMTA to produce high-quality halophytes suitable for human consumption.

The objective of this work was to compare the physicochemical characteristics of quinoa and flaxseed bread. Sensory acceptance, color and texture were also appraised. They showed appropriate balances between their content of polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids and low levels of trans fatty acids. Flaxseed bread had larger amounts of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-6 and omega-3, as well as a more balanced omega-6/omega-3 ratio. Quinoa bread, on the other hand, had the advantage of presenting smaller contents of saturated fatty acids. With regard to color and texture, quinoa bread had similar characteristics to the flaxseed bread. The quinoa bread was well accepted by the consumers, who expressed high interest in buying it.

Abstract This work explores the proximate composition, fatty acid profile, nutritional quality, and anti-amylase activity of propolis, royal jelly, and bee bread. The differential FTIR patterns of propolis, royal jelly, and bee bread reflect these products have different proximate compositions and nutritional properties. The values for carbohydrate, fat, and protein values of be products are similar to egg and soya. The primary fatty acids bee bread and bee propolis are palmitic, linolenic, oleic, linoleic, myristic, and docosanoic acids. The primary fatty acids in royal jelly are 2-dodecenedioic, 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic, decanedioic, linoleic, 10-hydroxydecanoic acid 3-hydroxy-decanoic acids, respectively. The propolis, bee bread, and royal jelly have well-balanced saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, omega-3, and omega-6 fatty acids. Their nutritional quality, including omega-6/omega-3, thrombogenicity, atherogenicity, hypocholesterolemic, nutritional value, and peroxidizability indexes, are similar to egg and soya. Fatty acids inhibit amylase by increasing Km/Vmax and decreasing Vmax and Km through an un-competition or non-competition strategy. Molecular docking, ultraviolet absorption, and fluorescence quenching analysis reveal that fatty acids interact with amino acid residues of amylase through Van der Waals and hydrogen bonds interactions. Functional fatty acids from bee products can be used in a number of food supplements, food ingredients, and medications to provide carbohydrate-degrading enzymes.

We investigated in a porcine model whether omega-3 fatty acids modify the physiological response to sepsis. For 8 days, 16 male pigs were fed a diet containing 18% fat by weight enriched with either omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids (FA). A group of six pigs receiving their regular diet served as controls. The omega-3 FA-supplemented pigs had elevated levels of omega-3 FA in their serum-free FA, serum phospholipid (PL), and platelet PL levels compared with either of the other groups. On the ninth day, the unanesthetized pigs were injected with 0.3 mg/kg of endotoxin (Escherichia coli) intravenously. The animals had a significant decrease in their arterial O2 pressure (PaO2) [from 84.4 +/- 6.8 (SD) to 64 +/- 9.4, and from 83.1 +/- 7.2 to 55.9 +/- 6.3 mmHg in the omega-6 FA and regular diet groups, respectively]. The PaO2 did not decrease in the omega-3 FA pigs. The omega-3 FA group had significantly lower pulmonary vascular resistance (541 +/- 205 dyn.s.cm-5) 20 min after endotoxin compared with either the omega-6 FA or regular diet groups (797 +/- 233 and 1,102 +/- 552 dyn.s.cm-5, respectively) and more normal blood pressure compared with the other two groups. Plasma thromboxane (Tx) B2 and 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) levels were lowest in the omega-3 FA diet group and highest in the regular diet group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Raw Fish

The effects of boiling and smoking on the proximate composition and lipids quality of a freshwater fish (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) collected from Nkam River in Cameroon were investigated. Fresh fish was filled, boiled or smoked and then, aliquoted for analyses. One portion was dried at 50 &deg;C and ground into flour for the proximate composition determination. The other portion was served for lipids extraction using the Bligh and Dyer method. The extracted oil was characterized physico-chemically using chemical indexes and GC/FID. Moisture, protein, ash and lipid contents of raw fish were 80.67&plusmn;4.18, 64.42&plusmn;1.51, 10.90&plusmn;0.42 and 22.06&plusmn;5.40 % dm respectively. The changes in dry matter, protein and ash contents were found to be statistically significant (P&lt;0.05) after smoking. The most important mineral of this fish was the Potassium (7017.54-8771.93 mg/kg). Except the calcium and phosphorus contents which decreased with the treatments, the amount of the other detected minerals was significantly increased. It was also found that these technological treatments significantly increased (P&lt;0.05) the free fatty acids and hydroperoxides formation in oil, while it decreased its iodine value. The fatty acid profile of untreated and treated fish revealed her richness in Palmitic (22.91-34.76%), Oleic (12.83-23.55%), Stearic (11.29-14.81%), Linoleic (LA) (&omega;6) (2.83-6.75%), Arachidonic (&omega;6) (2.50-6.64%) and Docosahexaenoic (DHA) (&omega;3) (1.56-12.31%) acids. The ratio PUFA/SFA of raw fish (0.47) was severely reduced by the smoking (0.26) while it increases after boiling (0.61). This fish contain appreciable levels of Omega-6 PUFA, suggesting that it could be used as a source of healthy diet for human beings. These findings may also be beneficial for the fish industry, nutritionists and researchers who were striving to improve the nutritive value, processing and marketing of selected fish species.

SummaryNutrient deposition in eggs is largely dictated by the dietary composition of laying hen feed, particularly in terms of specific fatty acids and antioxidants. In the present study, the nutritional quality of a range of commercially available egg varieties, marketed as omega-3 enriched; corn-fed; free range and standard caged, were assessed by determining fatty acid profiles and antioxidant status. Across each egg variety, significant differences were observed in key fatty acids such as palmitic, oleic, linoleic, alpha-linolenic and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (P ≤ 0.05). Egg yolks enriched with a stated dietary source of omega-3 fatty acid DHA were shown to have significantly improved levels of DHA (P ≤ 0.05), approximately 4.5-fold higher than standard caged eggs. Compared with free range, corn fed and caged, eggs from diets enriched with a source of omega-3 were shown to have considerably altered omega-6: omega-3 ratios, amounting to 1.5–2.1 fold reductions. Yolk antioxidant activity was improved for omega-3 enriched eggs, particularly in hexane fractionated samples. The inclusion of omega-3 fatty acids to the diet resulted in eggs with improved DHA contents and antioxidant status, highlighting the importance of poultry diet composition for egg nutritional quality.

Um fator diferencial na produção de bovinos é a compreensão da contribuição individual dos ácidos graxos e do papel dos lipídeos nos ruminantes, tanto na forma de análise (ácido graxo ou extrato etéreo), conceitos relacionados às características de ômega 3, ômega 6 e ácido linoleico conjugado na bio-hidrogenação, no metabolismo pós-absorção, bem como no conteúdo e composição dos ácidos graxos em relação à matéria seca dos alimentos. Sabe-se que diversos fatores podem afetar o teor, digestibilidade e degradabilidade das fibras presente na forragem, e o mesmo ocorre com os lipídeos. As diferenças entre os valores dos compostos presentes nos lipídeos podem ocorrer dependendo do ambiente, região do país ou fase de colheita e por isso, torna-se importante obter a análise da composição de ácidos graxos dos alimentos lipídicos, para que dessa maneira seja possível otimizar a utilização deste nutriente na dieta de animais ruminantes. Sendo assim, a proposta dessa revisão será trazer a discussão sobre o tema e abordar um entendimento sobre o conteúdo e composição de ácidos graxos dos ingredientes que compõem a dieta dos animais ruminantes, com ênfase na influência exercida no desempenho produtivo, imunonutrição, e no produto final (carne ou leite).

Eccado adalah produk olahan yang dibuat dari daging atau udang yang dicincang dengan penambahan tepung dan bumbu-bumbu. Pada umumnya Eccado diolah dari daging ayam, untuk menggantikan eccado ayam maka dicari sumber alternatif baru salah satunya digunakan ikan Gabus karena memiliki daging yang banyak, tebal dan putih. Potensi eccado ikan Gabus ini sangat tinggi baik aspek ekonomi juga kandungan gizinya karena mengandung omega 3 dan omega 6. Ikan Gabus bisa dimanfaatkan dengan cara langsung mengolahnya menjadi beberapa jenis makanan atau mengawetkannya melalui proses penggaraman dan pengeringan. Masih belum banyaknya diversifikasi bentuk pengolahan ikan hasil usaha budidaya khususnya ikan Gabus menjadi makanan olahan lain juga disebabkan karena masih minimnya informasi tentang teknologi pengolahan hasil perikanan. Permasalahan yang dihadapi mitra adalah : 1) Selama ini mitra belum mengetahui variasi tentang Teknologi Hasil Perikanan karena terbatasnya pengetahuan dan informasi yang diterima serta keterampilan yang dimiliki. 2) Mitra juga belum pernah mendapatkan pelatihan dan demonstrasi tentang pembuatan eccado dari ikan air tawar dalam hal ini ikan jenis ikan family Channidae Menurut SNI 7756 : 2013 dapat didefinisikan Eccado ikan merupakan produk olahan hasil perikanan dengan menggunakan lumatan daging ikan/udang dan atau surimi minimum 30%, tepung dan bahan-bahan lainnya, dibentuk dan dibungkus dengan kulit pangsit. Sedangkan Eccado merupakan salah satu jenis olahan fish jelly produk dengan menggunakan kulit kembang tahu yang berfungsi memberikan rasa yang khas.Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini untuk membantu mengatasi permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat Pahandut Seberang l) Pendampingan teknologi diversifikasi pengolahan daging ikan menjadi eccado. 2) Promosi kegiatan Pahandut seberang sebagai lokasi wisata kuliner dengan kegiatan-kegiatan yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas kuliner dari ikan dan ekonomi masyarakat di sekitarnya.
