The fatty acid profiles of five main commercial pistachio cultivars, including Ahmad-Aghaei, Akbari, Chrok, Kalle-Ghouchi, and Ohadi, were determined by gas chromatography: palmitic (C16:0), palmitoleic (C16:1), stearic (C18:0), oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2), linolenic (C18:3), arachidic (C20:0), and gondoic (C20:1) acid. Based on the oleic to linoleic acid (O/L) ratio, a quality index was determined for these five cultivars: Ohadi (2.40) < Ahmad-Aghaei (2.60) < Kale-Ghouchi (2.94) < Chrok (3.05) < Akbari (3.66). Principal component analysis (PCA) of the fatty acid data yielded three significant PCs, which together account for 80.0% of the total variance in the dataset. A linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model that was evaluated with cross-validation correctly classified almost all of the samples: the average percent accuracy for the prediction set was 98.0%. The high predictive power for the prediction set shows the ability to indicate the cultivar of an unknown sample based on its fatty acid chromatographic fingerprint.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the polymorphic effects of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of fatty acid binding protein (FABP4) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) genes on intramuscular fatty acid profiles in the longissimus muscle in two cattle breeds. Two previously reported SNPs of bovine FABP4 (7516G>C) and SCD (878C>T) were in turn assessed for their associations with intramuscular fatty acid profiles from the upper sirloin cuts of Aberdeen Angus and Blonde d’Aquitaine cattle. In total, 33 animals were genotyped using PCR-RFLP. Intramuscular fatty acid composition was evaluated using two complementary statistical approaches: a classical univariate regression model and a multivariate approach using a combination of Principal Component Analysis and Random Forests. Significant effect of FABP4 SNP genotypes was found for several fatty acids including C15:0, C17:0, C18:0, C14:1, C17:1, C18:2n6, C20:4n6, C20:5n3, C22:5n3, total n-3, n-6 and total SFA (P < 0.05). These results suggest that FABP4 is a potential candidate gene affecting fatty acid composition in beef cattle.

A study was carried out to distinguish coconut oil from coconut pairing oil by the application of principal component analysis (PCA) to fatty acid compositional and iodine value data. Five samples of ordinary coconut oil extracted from five different batches of copra and five samples of coconut pairing oil obtained from five batches of dried coconut pairings were employed. Fatty acid composition and iodine values of oil samples were determined individually and the data were analyzed statistically. PCA analysis showed that lauric and oleic acid contents and iodine value data are the most influencing parameters to discriminate coconut oil from coconut pairing oil. Hence, the application of PCA to fatty acid compositional and iodine value data was successful in distinguishing coconut oil from coconut pairing oil.

Artisanal crude palm oil (ACPO) of “Man’’ (District des Montagnes, Ivory Coast) enjoys a national and international reputation for quality among consumers. In order to record this local product as a geographical indication product, a study aimed to compare the physicochemical parameters and fatty acid profiles of some ACPO samples from the “Dura” variety collected in the districts of Lagunes, Sassandra-Marahoué, Bas-Sassandra and Montagnes, was conducted. It shows that the samples collected in the District des Montagnes have a low density (0.949±0.018 g/ml), a high iodine value (63.9±0.5 g of iodine/100 g of fat) and a low peroxide value (1.2±0.2 meqO 2 / kg of fat), a slightly high pH (3.1±0.3) than those in other districts. Furthermore, these samples exhibit the lowest levels of saturated fatty acid (34.8%). The principal component analysis performed on all parameters studied, shows that the samples are of ACPO from "Man" have a more uniform profile, a symbol of a common ancestral know-how and that its deserves a Geographical Indication

This research explores the possibility of using the fatty acid profiles of intramuscular fat to authenticate the origin of Retinta breed meat according to different feeding regimes based on the combined use of concentrate and grass or forage (GP, grass pasture; MC, medium concentrate; HC, high concentrate). Young bulls from GP (n=30) were reared on grass pasture and supplement with concentrate in controlled feeders; MC (n=30) and HC (n=15) were reared in farm buildings using 40 and 80% concentrate of total dry matter from diet, respectively. The stepclass function in R was used to perform a stepwise linear discriminant analysis including thirty fatty acids from intramuscular fat. Two fatty acids, 9c18:1 and 22:5 n-3 were selected as discriminators of the meat origin. Meat from the GP and MC was characterized by higher 22:5 n-3 (p<0.05), while HC meat showed higher 9c18:1 (p<0.05). The use of 9c18:1 and 22:5 n-3 fatty acids from intramuscular fat resulted in a correct assignation of 100% of beef samples to each of the feeding regimes. Therefore, in addition to serving as an effective tool for discriminating between feeding regimes in the origin of the beef, the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat could help companies to check the authenticity of the meat origin.

Thaxtomin A production in culture, potato common scab severity (percentage of tuber surface infected or number of lesions per tuber), and fatty acid profiles were determined for 78 Streptomyces isolates. Only pathogenic Streptomyces spp. (n = 17) produced thaxtomin A in culture. Thaxtomin A production in culture (µg/mL) was significantly positively correlated with the percentage of tuber surface infected (R = 0.60; p = 0.017) but not with the number of lesions per tuber (R = 0.37; p = 0.17). An increase of 1 µg/mL in thaxtomin A production corresponded to an 11% increase in disease severity (percentage of tuber surface infected). The data indicate that quantitative information on the ability of a particular pathogen isolate or population to produce thaxtomin A may be critical to understanding and predicting the disease potential of that population. Using cluster analysis of fatty acid data, 94% of 67 unknown field isolates grouped with other field isolates having the same pathogenicity (plus or minus).Key words: thaxtomin A, phytotoxin, potato scab.

The relative amounts of various fatty acids of jawbone and eye lens were determined in harp seals (Phoca groenlandica) caught in the Greenland Sea and in the Barents Sea. The two tissues had distinctly different profiles. The fatty acid profile in the lens tissue changed with age. Principal component analysis of the data showed that the profiles in the jawbone were different in seals from the two populations, while the difference was much less prominent in the case of the eye lens. Using the jawbone profiles from the western and eastern seals as reference, it was shown that seven seals, caught in west coast seine nets during the large invasion of harp seals along the Norwegian coast in the winter of 1986–87, had come from the eastern population.
