This study aimed to provide information about the changes in fatty acid composition and quality in Ruditapes decussatus tissue after four culinary treatments (steamed, baked, grilled and fried). All treated samples showed a significant decrease in moisture and protein. In contrast, a significant increase in fat content resulted from the grilled and fried treatments. Saturated fatty acid was significantly higher in fresh clams than all cooking processes, except in fried ones. Monounsaturated fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid varied significantly between fresh and cooked clams with high values recorded for fried clams. The n-3/n-6 ratio, peroxide index, EPA+DHA and atherogenicity index decreased significantly after the cooking processes particularly in fried clams. The mineral levels (Mg, Ca and Mn) of cooked clams decreased considerably with grilled and fried treatments. The impacts of cooking on the fatty acid composition and protein content in clam tissue was evaluated by lipid peroxidation (TBARS, PV, FFA, TOR) and protein oxidation (AOPP and PCO), which varied statistically in fried, steamed, grilled and baked samples; indicating alterations in cooked clam tissues structure. Based on our results, steaming is recommended for the preparation of clams because it preserves the most nutritional tissue quality.

Abstract Background: Genetics and rearing system are important for meat quality. However, few studies were conducted on genetics and housing system and their relationship with chemical composition and oxidation processes in Pekin duck meat. In order to investigate the effect of different strains and housing systems on chemical composition, fatty acid profile and the content of lipid and protein oxidation products in breasts and thighs of Pekin ducks, we used a total of 40 49-day-old Pekin ducks of two strains (STAR 53 medium hybrid and SM3 heavy hybrid) reared in two housing systems (intensive vs. semi-intensive). Results: Duck strain affected the contents of moisture and protein in breasts and fatty acid composition in breasts and thighs. STAR 53 ducks had a lower polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to saturated fatty acids (SFA) ratio and level of lipid peroxidation measured in frozen thighs than SM3 ducks. Chemical composition of meat was not affected by housing system. Rearing conditions influenced fatty acid composition of breasts and thighs. In intensively reared ducks, higher total n-3 PUFA content and PUFA to SFA ratio, and lower n-6 to n-3 PUFA ratio and atherogenicity index were found in thighs than in ducks that had access to land outside. Moreover, rearing conditions had significant effects on lipid peroxidation level and protein carbonyl content in meat. In intensively reared birds, fresh samples of thigh meat and frozen samples of breasts and thighs had higher level of lipid peroxidation than in semi-intensively reared ducks. Contents of protein carbonyls in fresh samples of breasts and thighs were higher in birds reared in the intensive system than in ducks reared in the semi-intensive housing system.Conclusions: These results suggest that duck strain affects fatty acid composition of meat, where SM3 ducks had more favorable fatty acid profiles than STAR 53 ducks. Moreover, housing system influenced meat quality. Intensively reared ducks had a more desirable fatty acid profile of meat, but it was more prone to lipid and protein oxidation than meat from ducks that had open access to land.

The fatty acid compositions of the lipids and the lipid peroxide concentrations and rates of lipid peroxidation were determined in suspensions of liver endoplasmic reticulum isolated from rats fed on synthetic diets in which the fatty acid composition had been varied but the remaining constituents (protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals) kept constant. Stock diet and synthetic diets containing no fat, 10% corn oil, herring oil, coconut oil or lard were used. The fatty acid composition of the liver endoplasmic reticulum lipid was markedly dependent on the fatty acid composition of the dietary lipid. Feeding a herring-oil diet caused incorporation of 8.7% eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5) and 17% docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6), but only 5.1% linoleic acid (C18:2) and 6.4% arachidonic acid (C20:4), feeding a corn-oil diet caused incorporation of 25.1% C18:2, 17.8% C20:4 and 2.5% C22:6 fatty acids, and feeding a lard diet caused incorporation of 10.3% C18:2, 13.5% C20:4 and 4.3% C22:6 fatty acids into the liver endoplasmic-reticulum lipids. Phenobarbitone injection (100mg/kg) decreased the incorporation of C20:4 and C22:6 fatty acids into the liver endoplasmic reticulum of rats fed on a lard, corn-oil or herring-oil diet. Microsomal lipid peroxide concentrations and rates of peroxidation in the presence of ascorbate depended on the nature and quantity of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet. The lipid peroxide content was 1.82±0.30nmol of malonaldehyde/mg of protein and the rate of peroxidation was 0.60±0.08nmol of malonaldehyde/min per mg of protein after feeding a fat-free diet, and the values were increased to 20.80nmol of malonaldehyde/mg of protein and 3.73nmol of malonaldehyde/min per mg of protein after feeding a 10% herring-oil diet in which polyunsaturated fatty acids formed 24% of the total fatty acids. Addition of α-tocopherol to the diets (120mg/kg of diet) caused a very large decrease in the lipid peroxide concentration and rate of lipid peroxidation in the endoplasmic reticulum, but addition of the synthetic anti-oxidant 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol to the diet (100mg/kg of diet) was ineffective. Treatment of the animals with phenobarbitone (1mg/ml of drinking water) caused a sharp fall in the rate of lipid peroxidation. It is concluded that the polyunsaturated fatty acid composition of the diet regulates the fatty acid composition of the liver endoplasmic reticulum, and this in turn is an important factor controlling the rate and extent of lipid peroxidation in vitro and possibly in vivo.
