Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to characterize oils extracted from Bertholletia excelsa, Lecythis pisonis, Dipteryx lacunifera, Carya illinoensis and Juglans regia, regarding their characterization and fatty acid ...

Marine microalgae synthetize great amounts of essential metabolites such as fatty acids and amino acids. In addition, their exposure to stress factors can induce the overproduction of these desirable metabolites. Thus, in ...

The purpose of the present work was to study lipid content and fatty acid profile in fifteen macroalgal species typical of the coastal environments of northern Patagonia, Argentina. Total lipid content was observed to range ...

By-products such as cassava bagasse and leaves are discarded though they contain high amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, fat and minerals. The application of solid-state fermentation (SSF) to substrates containing these ...

Four species of marine benthic algae (Laurencia filiformis, L. intricata, Gracilaria domingensis and G. birdiae) that belong to the phylum Rhodophyta were collected in Espirito Santo State, Brazil and investigated concerning ...

Lipids comprize from 50-60% of the structural matter of the brain and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6, DHA) is the most important omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid in the brain phospholipids comprizing 25% of the ...
