Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is a popular orphan crop used for its nutritional properties in various parts of the world. It is considered one of the richest terrestrial sources of omega-3 and omega-6-fatty acids (ω-3 and 6-FAs) suggesting its importance for human health. This ethnomedicinal plant is also an important part of traditional healing systems among the indigenous people. Many studies have indicated its tolerance against multiple stresses and found that it easily grows in a range of environmental gradients. It has also been considered one of the important biosaline crops for the future. Despite its huge nutritional, economic, and medicinal importance, it remains neglected to date. Most of the studies on purslane were focused on its ethnomedicinal, phytochemical, pharmacological, and stress-tolerance properties. Only a few studies have attempted genetic dissection of the traits governing these traits. Purslane being an important traditional food crop across the globe can be valorized for a sustainable food security in the future. Therefore, this review is an attempt to highlight the distribution, domestication, and cultivation of purslane and its importance as an important stress-tolerant food and a biosaline crop. Furthermore, identification of genes and their functions governing important traits and its potential for improvement using genomics tools for smart and biosaline agriculture has been discussed.

Fatty grass, grasita or purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is an important plant identified as a natural weed in field crops and lawns. Purslane is widespread worldwide and is popular as edible plants in many areas of Europe, Asia and the Mediterranean region. This plant possesses mucilaginous substances of great medicinal importance. It is a rich source of potassium, magnesium and calcium and has the potential to be used as a vegetal source of omega-3 and omega-6. It is very good as a source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and contains the highest amount compared to any other green leafy vegetables. It also contains significant amounts of alpha-tocopherol and ascorbic acid, as well as an increased content of oxalate in fresh leaves. The antioxidant value and nutritional content of purslane are important for human consumption. It reveals a huge nutritional potential and indicates the potential for future use of this plant in food industry, dietary supplements, drugs, cosmetics and products for body care.

A greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate the influence of harvest intervals on biomass yield and omega fatty acids of ‘Golden purslane’ (Portulaca oleracea). Nutrients were supplied as a modified full-strength Hoagland solution two to three times weekly. Plants were harvested sequentially at 20, 40, and 60 days after transplanting (DAT) corresponding to 42, 63, and 84 days after sowing. Fatty acids were determined using a gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Harvest intervals significantly influenced foliage fresh and dry weight, leaf number and plant height, and root length and fresh weight and were greatest at 60 DAT. Fatty acid analysis verified the presence of myristate, palmitate, linoleate, and linolenate at 20 DAT and in all three harvests, whereas stearate and oleate were detected only in the last two harvests (40 and 60 DAT). Linoleate, palminate, and linolenate were the most abundant fatty acids in purslane with levels in excess of 300 mg·kg−1. Those for myristate, stearate, and oleate were in excess of 200 mg·kg−1. The ratio of omega-6/omega-3 ranged from 0.44 for Harvest 1 to 1.1 for Harvest 3, whereas ratios for harvest intervals two and three were equal to or greater than the recommended daily human requirement. Results showed qualitative and quantitative differences of harvest intervals of purslane, suggesting that an optimal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids can be achieved ≈20 DAT.

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.

AbstractLong-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (LCPUFA) is essential throughout pregnancy, since deficiency of LPUFA may linked to obstetrical complications. This study aimed to investigate LCPUFA status in severe preeclampsia and preterm birth. A cross sectional study was conducted in 104 pregnant women, which divided into normal pregnancy, severe preeclampsia and preterm birth groups. Serum percentage and concentration of total LCPUFA, omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), omega-6, linoleic acid (LA), and arachidonic acid (AA) were measured using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC), bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed. Severe preeclampsia showed the highest concentration of total PUFA and the lowest DHA percentage, with significantly higher Omega-6/Omega-3 ratio (p = 0.004) and lower omega-3 index (p < 0.002) compared to control. Preterm birth showed the least omega-3 concentrations, with significantly low omega-6 derivates (LA (p = 0.014) and AA (p = 0.025)) compared to control. LCPUFA parameters have shown to increase the risk in both conditions, particularly ALA ≤ 53 µmol/L in preeclampsia with OR 5.44, 95%CI 1.16–25.42 and preterm birth with OR 4.68, 95%CI 1.52–14.38. These findings suggest that severe preeclampsia and preterm birth have an imbalance in LCPUFA status.
