Abstract
Novel UV-curable polyurethane acrylate (PUA) resins were developed from rubber seed oil (RSO). Firstly, hydroxylated rubber seed oil (HRSO) was prepared via an alcoholysis reaction of RSO with glycerol, and then HRSO was reacted with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) to produce the RSO-based PUA (RSO-PUA) oligomer. FT-IR and 1H NMR spectra collectively revealed that the obtained RSO-PUA was successfully synthesized, and the calculated C=C functionality of oligomer was 2.27 per fatty acid. Subsequently, a series of UV-curable resins were prepared and their ultimate properties, as well as UV-curing kinetics, were investigated. Notably, the UV-cured materials with 40% trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) displayed a tensile strength of 11.7 MPa, an adhesion of 2 grade, a pencil hardness of 3H, a flexibility of 2 mm, and a glass transition temperature up to 109.4 °C. Finally, the optimal resin was used for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. The critical exposure energy of RSO-PUA (15.20 mJ/cm2) was lower than a commercial resin. In general, this work offered a simple method to prepare woody plant oil-based high-performance PUA resins that could be applied in the 3D printing industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Hyperlipidemia (HLP) is a leading cause for cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. Insufficient physical activity and unhealthy diet plays an important role in the progression of HLP. The present study was conducted to investigate the protective effect of 2 unconventional edible oils (purslane and garden cress) on hyperlipidemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diet high in fat and cholesterol was used as inducer of hyperlipidemia in rats for 5 weeks. Plasma and hepatic lipid profile were assessed. Plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) as lipid peroxidation indicator was determined. Liver transaminases (AST and ALT) as liver function indicator and kidney function (creatinine and urea) were evaluated. RESULTS Results clarified significant elevation in plasma and liver lipid profiles, MDA, liver enzymes (AST and ALT) and kidney function (creatinine and urea) in hyperlipidemic control compared to normal control. Supplementation with purslane and garden cress seeds oils either in diet or oral showed significant improvement in all the studied parameters. CONCLUSION Purslane and garden cress oils investigated in the current study produced significant reduction and elevation in bad and good cholesterol, respectively in plasma. Also both oils reduced hepatic lipid accumulation effectively in hyperlipidemia model in rats. Oils administration reduced plasma malondialdehyde and improves liver and kidney functions.

Abstract
This study assesses the capacity of a Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer operating in the range 4500-12 000 cm-1 (833.33-2222.22 nm) to provide quantitative predictions for the parameters of acidity (AV), p-anisidine (pAV), total polar materials (TPM), peroxide value (PV), and oxidative stability index (OSI). 562 samples of frying oil were analyzed from 14 distinct types of oil. The calibrations obtained accounted for 96%, 95%, 99%, 92%, and 91% of the AV, pAV, TPM, PV, and OSI variations in the study set and the similarity between the standard error of laboratory (RMSEP) values and the reference method errors (RMSEL), enabling the authors to conclude that NIR technology has the capacity to replace traditional methods in thermo-oxidative degradation studies in frying oils.

Abstract
This work describes the economic feasibility of hydroprocessed diesel fuel production via catalytic decarboxylation of rubber seed oil in Malaysia. A comprehensive techno-economic assessment is developed using Aspen HYSYS V8.0 software for process modelling and economic cost estimates. The profitability profile and minimum fuels selling price of this synthetic fuels production using rubber seed oil as biomass feedstock are assessed under a set of assumptions for what can be plausibly be achieved in 10-years framework. In this study, renewable diesel processing facility is modelled to be capable of processing 65,000 L of inedible oil per day and producing a total of 20 million litre of renewable diesel product per annual with assumed annual operational days of 347. With the forecasted renewable diesel retail price of 3.64 RM per kg, the pioneering renewable diesel project investment offers an assuring return of investment of 12.1% and net return as high as 1.35 million RM. Sensitivity analysis conducted showed that renewable diesel production cost is most sensitive to rubber seed oil price and hydrogen gas price, reflecting on the relative importance of feedstock prices in the overall profitability profile.

Abstract
Fats and oils are one of the very important components of diet. However excess of either overall fat or certain kind of fats in the diet may result in negative health impacts including risk of obesity, dyslipidaemia, cardiovascular diseases and certain malignancies. It is thus important to have an optimum amount of fat in the diet, and also important to choose appropriate sources of fat in the diet. In this mini review we suggest pragmatic selection of cooking oils for optimum health benefits.

Abstract
In this work, the ethanolysis of triglycerides catalyzed by immobilized lipase was studied, focusing on the secondary reaction of acyl migration. The catalytic tests were performed in a solvent-free reaction medium using Novozym 435 as biocatalyst. The selected experimental variables were biocatalyst loading (5-20mg), reaction time (30-90min), and chain length of the fatty acids in triglycerides with and without unsaturation (short (triacetin), medium (tricaprylin) and long (tripalmitin/triolein)). The formation of 2-monoglyceride by ethanolysis of triglycerides was favored by long reaction times and large biocatalyst loading with saturated short- to medium-chain triglycerides. In the case of long-chain triglycerides, the formation of this monoglyceride was widely limited by acyl migration. In turn, acyl migration increased the yield of ethyl esters and minimized the content of monoglycerides and diglycerides. Thus, the enzymatic synthesis of biodiesel was favored by long-chain triglycerides (which favor the acyl migration), long reaction times and large biocatalyst loading. The conversion of acylglycerides made from long-chain fatty acids with unsaturation was relatively low due to limitations in their access to the active site of the lipase.

Abstract
RATIONALE Unsaturated lipids play a crucial role in cellular processes as signaling factors, membrane building blocks or energy storage molecules. However, adequate mass spectrometry imaging of this diverse group of molecules remains challenging. In this study we implemented silver cationization for direct analysis by infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR-MALDESI) to enhance the ion abundances for olefinic lipids and facilitate peak assignment. METHODS Trace amounts of silver nitrate were doped into the electrospray solvent of an IR-MALDESI imaging source coupled to an Orbitrap mass analyzer. Calcifediol was examined as a model compound to demonstrate the effect of silver dopants on sensitivity and assay robustness. Dried human serum spots were subsequently analyzed to compare Ag-doped solvents with previously described solvent compositions. Mass differences as well as ion abundance ratio filters were employed to interpret results based on the characteristic isotopic pattern of silver. RESULTS Olefinic lipids were readily observed as silver adducts in IR-MALDESI analyses. Silver cationization decreased the limit of detection for calcifediol by at least one order of magnitude and was not affected in complex biological matrices. The ion abundance ratio and mass difference of [M + (107) Ag(+)](+) and [M + (109) Ag(+)](+) were successfully applied to facilitate the spectral assignment of silver adducts. Overall, silver cationization increased the analyte coverage in human serum by 43% compared with a standard IR-MALDESI approach. CONCLUSIONS Silver cationization has been shown to enhance IR-MALDESI sensitivity and selectivity for unsaturated lipids, even when applied to complex samples. Increased compound coverage, enhanced robustness as well as the developed tools for peak assignment and mapping of isotopic patterns will clearly benefit future mass spectrometry imaging studies.

Abstract
RATIONALE Studies of archaeal glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in the environment and cultures have exclusively focused on compounds with fully saturated alkyl moieties. Here we report a number of novel unsaturated GDGTs (uns-GDGTs) whose alkyl chains contain up to six double bonds and zero to two cyclopentyl moieties. METHODS The identification of these lipids was achieved via comparison of lipid distribution before and after hydrogenation, characteristic retention time patterns, and diagnostic ions using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), and ether cleavage products using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Isomerism resulting from different unsaturation patterns in the alkyl moieties was observed and specific positions of double bonds in the biphytene and biphytadiene moieties were tentatively assigned. RESULTS Uns-GDGTs were detected in sediment and microbial mat samples as both core lipids (CLs) and intact polar lipids (IPLs) associated with mono- or diglycosyl or phosphatidylglycerol headgroups. However, these lipids were overlooked in past investigations because conventional methods for archaeal lipid analysis are unsuitable for uns-GDGTs. Samples from distinct marine environments (Black Sea, Cariaco Basin, Discovery Basin, Eastern Mediterranean Sea, upwelling area off NW Africa, and seep sites off Crimea and Pakistan) were screened for uns-GDGTs using a new LC/MS protocol. The results show that uns-GDGTs contribute significantly to the archaeal lipid pool in anoxic methane-rich environments (Black Sea, Cariaco Basin, and both seep sites) but they were barely detected in the oxic or hypersaline settings. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic distribution of uns-GDGTs implies that they are attractive targets for future studies aiming at the chemotaxonomy of uncultivated archaea and regulation of uns-GDGT biosynthesis.

Abstract
The dietary intake of saturated fatty acids (SAFA) is associated with a modest increase in serum total cholesterol, but not with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Replacing dietary SAFA with carbohydrates (CHO), notably those with a high glycaemic index, is associated with an increase in CVD risk in observational cohorts, while replacing SAFA with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is associated with reduced CVD risk. However, replacing a combination of SAFA and trans-fatty acids with n-6 PUFA (notably linoleic acid) in controlled trials showed no indication of benefit and a signal toward increased coronary heart disease risk, suggesting that n-3 PUFA may be responsible for the protective association between total PUFA and CVD. High CHO intakes stimulate hepatic SAFA synthesis and conservation of dietary SAFA . Hepatic de novo lipogenesis from CHO is also stimulated during eucaloric dietary substitution of SAFA by CHO with high glycaemic index in normo-insulinaemic subjects and during hypocaloric high-CHO/low-fat diets in subjects with the metabolic syndrome. The accumulation of SAFA stimulates chronic systemic low-grade inflammation through its mimicking of bacterial lipopolysaccharides and÷or the induction of other pro-inflammatory stimuli. The resulting systemic low-grade inflammation promotes insulin resistance, reallocation of energy-rich substrates and atherogenic dyslipidaemia that concertedly give rise to increased CVD risk. We conclude that avoidance of SAFA accumulation by reducing the intake of CHO with high glycaemic index is more effective in the prevention of CVD than reducing SAFA intake per se.

Abstract
Poly (sodium acrylate) supporting NaOH (NaOH/NaPAA) was prepared by in situ polymerization of aqueous solution of acrylic acid with an over-neutralization by adding excess of NaOH. NaOH/NaPAA presented a promising selectivity for water absorbency and good water retention with negligible swelling capacity in the organic solvents of methanol, glycerol, rubber seed oil methyl esters, and rubber seed oil. NaOH/NaPAA catalysts showed a basic strength of 15.0<H_<18.4 and their basicity increased with the increase of the NaOH loading amount. NaOH/NaPAA catalysts exhibited almost the same catalytic activity in the transesterification of rubber seed oil with methanol under the optimized reaction conditions compared to conventional homogeneous NaOH catalyst. Furthermore, the functional absorbent/catalyst system presented a good water resistance in the transesterification which retained high catalytic activity when a water concentration in the reaction system was less than 2 wt.%.

Abstract
Lipid mediators participate in signal transduction pathways, proliferation, apoptosis, and membrane trafficking in the cell. Lipids are highly complex and diverse owing to the various combinations of polar headgroups, fatty acyl chains, and backbone structures. This structural diversity continues to pose a challenge for lipid analysis. Here we review the current state of the art in lipidomics research and discuss the challenges facing this field. The latest technological developments in mass spectrometry, the role of bioinformatics, and the applications of lipidomics in lipid metabolism and cellular physiology and pathology are also discussed.

Abstract
One of the most important quality parameters of fried food is the amount of fat absorbed during the process, which undermines recent consumer trends toward healthier food and low-fat products. In order to obtain a product with a low fat content, it is essential to understand the mechanisms involved during the frying process, so that oil migration into the structure can be minimized. To get such an understanding, this chapter briefly describes the frying process from technological and scientific perspectives. First, it gives a general overview of the frying process and describes the most important quality attributes of fried food. Thereafter, it centers on key nutritional aspects, particularly on the effect of excessive oil consumption on human health, oil degradation, and toxic compounds generation in fried food. Finally, this chapter discusses the most important factors affecting oil absorption, oil absorption kinetics, and different strategies that may be adopted to decrease oil content.

Abstract
Wide-field Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microscopy is employed to identify saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in micro-emulsions and cells, using the ratio between the strong -C-H CARS signal at 2850 cm(-1) and the weak signal of the =C-H vibration around 3015 cm(-1) for distinction. Quantitative CARS imaging at the =C-H resonance is challenging, since it yields only a low CARS signal, and small differences on the order of 5% in the concentration of polyunsaturated fatty lipids have to be detected. For this purpose we draw advantage of the high signal-to-noise ratio of wide-field CARS microscopy that is achieved by an excitation geometry involving a "sheet-of-light"-type illumination.

Abstract
Macadamia nuts are rich source of monounsaturated fats (oleic and palmitoleic acids) and contain polyphenol compounds, therefore, their consumption can be expected to impart health benefits to humans. This study was conducted to examine the effects of consuming macadamia nuts in hypercholesterolemic male individuals on plasma biomarkers of oxidative stress, coagulation and inflammation. Seventeen hypercholesterolemic male subjects were given macadamia nuts (40-90 g/day), equivalent to 15% energy intake, for a period of 4 weeks. As expected, monounsaturated fatty acids (16:1n-7, 18:1n-9 and 20:1n-9) were elevated in the plasma lipids of all volunteers following intervention with macadamia nuts. Plasma markers of inflammation (leukotriene, LTB(4)) and oxidative stress (8-isoprostane) were significantly lower (1,353 +/- 225 vs. 1,030 +/- 129 pg/mL and 876 +/- 97 vs. 679 +/- 116 pg/mL, respectively) within 4 weeks following macadamia nut intervention. There was a non-significant (23.6%) reduction in the plasma TXB(2)/PGI(2) ratio following macadamia nut consumption. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that short-term macadamia nut consumption modifies favourably the biomarkers of oxidative stress, thrombosis and inflammation, the risk factors for coronary artery disease, despite an increase in dietary fat intake. These data, combined with our previous results on cholesterol-lowering effects of macadamia nuts, suggest that regular consumption of macadamia nuts may play a role in the prevention of coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Most studies reported until now on the magnetically alignable system formed by the binary mixtures of long- and short-chain lipids were based on the mixture of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (D14PC) and 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (D6PC) lipids. We have recently shown that a large part of the phase diagrams of this lipid mixture could be understood by taking into account the partial miscibility between the long-chain lipids and the short-chain lipids when the sample was heated above the melting transition temperature (Tm) of the long-chain lipids. In this work, we show by modifying the chain length of either one of the two lipids that it is possible to control their miscibility and thus the intervals of temperature and composition where spontaneous alignment is observed in a magnetic field. By using 31P NMR, we demonstrate that the very special properties of such binary lipid mixtures are correlated with the propensity for short-chain lipids to diffuse into the bilayer regions. We also show that lipid mixtures with comparable properties can be formed with unsaturated lipids such as 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC).

Abstract
Quantitative structures are obtained at 30 degrees C for the fully hydrated fluid phases of palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC), with a double bond on the sn-2 hydrocarbon chain, and for dierucoylphosphatidylcholine (di22:1PC), with a double bond on each hydrocarbon chain. The form factors F(qz) for both lipids are obtained using a combination of three methods. (1) Volumetric measurements provide F(0). (2) X-ray scattering from extruded unilamellar vesicles provides /F(qz)/ for low q(z). (3) Diffuse X-ray scattering from oriented stacks of bilayers provides /F(qz)/ for high q(z). Also, data using method (2) are added to our recent data for dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) using methods (1) and (3); the new DOPC data agree very well with the recent data and with (4) our older data obtained using a liquid crystallographic X-ray method. We used hybrid electron density models to obtain structural results from these form factors. The result for area per lipid (A) for DOPC 72.4 +/- 0.5 A(2) agrees well with our earlier publications, and we find A = 69.3 +/- 0.5 A2 for di22:1PC and A = 68.3 +/- 1.5 A2 for POPC. We obtain the values for five different average thicknesses: hydrophobic, steric, head-head, phosphate-phosphate and Luzzati. Comparison of the results for these three lipids and for our recent dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) determination provides quantitative measures of the effect of unsaturation on bilayer structure. Our results suggest that lipids with one monounsaturated chain have quantitative bilayer structures closer to lipids with two monounsaturated chains than to lipids with two completely saturated chains.

Abstract
Some unidentified minor compounds have been observed in the residue from short-path distillation of transesterified palm oil that are not detected in the original palm oil. A method combining short-path distillation to enrich the unknowns with fractionation using solid-phase extraction is described. The fractionated components were identified using GC coupled with MS. The transesterified palm oil was found to contain methyl esters of up to C32 carbon atoms. In the very long chain FAME with carbon numbers > or = 20, both even and odd carbon numbers accounted for 0.26 wt%, with C24 and C26 being the major ones present in the residue after short-path distillation of transesterified palm oil.

Abstract
Injector-internal thermal desorption from edible oil or fat is a convenient sample preparation technique for the analysis of solutes in lipids or extracts from fatty foods. The injector temperature is selected to vaporize the solutes of interest while minimizing evaporation of the bulk material of the oil. This technique has been in routine use for pesticides for some time. Now its potential is explored for migrants from food contact materials, such as packaging, into simulant D (olive oil) or fatty/oily food, which means extending the range of application towards less volatile compounds. The performance for high boiling components was investigated for diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and diundecyl phthalate (DUP). Since the injector temperature needs to be as high as 260degreesC, some bulk material of the oil enters the column and must be removed after every analysis. This is achieved by a coated precolumn backflushed towards the end of each analysis. Desorption of the solutes is particularly efficient in the initial phase, when a thin sample film is spread on the liner wall, and is largely determined by the diffusion speed in the oil after the latter has contracted to droplets. An increased carrier gas flow rate during the splitless period supports the transfer into the column. It is concluded that the technique is attractive for migrant analysis, with DUP being at the upper limit of the boiling point.

Abstract
Most biological phospholipids contain at least one unsaturated alkyl chain. However, few order parameters of unsaturated lipids have been determined because of the difficulty associated with isotopic labeling of a double bond. Dipolar recoupling on axis with scaling and shape preservation (DROSS) is a solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance technique optimized for measuring (1)H-(13)C dipolar couplings and order parameters in lipid membranes in the fluid phase. It has been used to determine the order profile of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine hydrated membranes. Here, we show an application for the measurement of local order parameters in multilamellar vesicles containing unsaturated lipids. Taking advantage of the very good (13)C chemical shift dispersion, one can easily follow the segmental order along the acyl chains and, particularly, around the double bonds where we have been able to determine the previously misassigned order parameters of each acyl chain of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC). We have followed the variation of such order profiles with temperature, unsaturation content and cholesterol addition. We have found that the phase formed by DOPC with 30% cholesterol is analogous to the liquid-ordered (l(o)) phase. Because these experiments do not require isotopic enrichment, this technique can, in principle, be applied to natural lipids and biomembranes.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a nondestructive method to quantitate relative amounts of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) species in vegetable oils and oil seeds using Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR). The alkene Cbond;H stretching vibrations of unsaturated fatty acids in oils showed IR absorption bands with various peak positions and intensities at around 3010 cm(-1), depending on the extent of unsaturation and PUFA species. With the aid of partial least-squares regression analysis, the FTIR measurement could practically predict the content of each PUFA species in the oil to be tested. A calculation method was also presented to directly find PUFA species in oils from the FTIR spectra. This technique was applied to dried soybean seeds to demonstrate a nonhomogenous distribution of saturated fatty acids and PUFAs, as well as glycans, in soybean cross sections.

Abstract
Coordination ionspray mass spectrometry (CIS-MS) is a useful tool in the detection and identification of cholesterol ester and phospholipid hydroperoxides and diacyl peroxides. Extensive studies of a series of cholesterol esters using CIS-MS revealed the following: (1) Cholesterol esters with equal number of double bonds as the internal standard showed a linear relative response in the mass spectrometer while compounds with non-equal numbers of double bonds gave a nonlinear relative response. (2) Complex adducts containing cholesterol ester, silver ion, AgF, AgBF(4), and 2-propanoxide form when silver is in molar excess of cholesterol esters, reducing the [M + Ag](+) signal. (3) In a mixture of cholesterol esters where silver is limiting, Ch22:6 and Ch20:4 bind to silver at the expense of Ch18:2 and have a higher signal in the mass spectrometer. (4) In a mixture of cholesterol esters where silver concentration is twofold greater than total cholesterol ester concentration, Ch22:6 and Ch20:4 form large complex adducts more frequently than Ch18:2 and have a lower signal in the mass spectrometer.

Abstract
Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy was employed for structural analysis of triacylglycerols and edible oils. Raman spectra sensitively reflected structural changes in oils. Even slight structural fluctuation between triacylglycerols and free fatty acids led to obvious differences in Raman bands as shown by C-O-C stretching from 800 to 1000 cm(-1) and the band at 1742 cm(-1). Structural difference in geometric isomers was easily distinguished as proved by C = C stretching at 1655 cm(-1) (cis) shifting to 1668 cm(-1) (trans) and by =C-H in-plane bending at 1266 cm(-1) in cis disappearing in the trans isomer. Raman intensity at 1266, 1302, and 1655 cm(-1) changed concomitantly with the change of double-bond content in oils. It showed that FT-Raman was capable of precisly reflecting the content of double bonds in oils. A linear correlation with high consistency between the Raman intensity ratio (v1655/v1444) and the iodine value was obtained for commercial oils. Based on the results, FT-Raman spectroscopy proved itself a simple and rapid technique for oil analysis since each measurement could be directly completed in 3 min without any sample modifications.

Abstract
The iodine value (iodine number) is an important analytical characteristic of fats and oils. Leading pharmacopeias determine it using iodine monobromide (Hanus method). We used methyl oleate as a simple analog of unsaturated triacylglycerols to identify the products. After performing the reaction in deuterated solvents under pharmacopeial conditions, NMR spectroscopy revealed the presence of the 9, 10-diiodo, 9, 10-dibromo, and 9, 10-bromoiodo adducts, leaving no educt olefin. The prescribed subsequent addition of potassium iodide led to the formation of methyl 9, 10-diiodo and bromoiodo stearate in equal amounts.

Abstract
Polyphenols extracted from extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) were tested for their ability to inhibit lipid oxidation of canned tuna. Hydroperoxide formation during oxidation was monitored by measurement of peroxide value and decomposition of hydroperoxides by static headspace gas chromatographic analysis of volatiles. In tuna oxidized at 40 and 100 degrees C, 400 ppm of the EVOO polyphenols was an effective antioxidant as compared with 100 ppm of a 1:1 mixture of the synthetic antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole. However, at concentrations <100 ppm, the EVOO phenolic compounds promoted hydroperoxide formation and decomposition. The EVOO polyphenols were effective antioxidants when added to heated tuna muscle in the presence of either brine or refined olive oil. The oxidation rate in tuna muscle packed in brine was higher than that of tuna packed in refined olive oil. The EVOO polyphenols had higher antioxidant activity in the brine samples than in the refined olive oil. The higher antioxidant activity of EVOO polyphenols in tuna packed in brine may be explained by their greater affinity toward the more polar interface between water and the fish oil system.

Abstract
The formation of odor active compounds resulting from initial lipid oxidation in sunflower oil-in-water emulsions was examined during storage at 60 degrees C. The emulsions differed in initial pH, that is, pH 3 and 6. The volatile compounds were isolated under mouth conditions and were analyzed by gas chromatography/sniffing port analysis. The lipid oxidation rate was followed by the formation of conjugated hydroperoxide dienes and headspace hexanal. The initial pH affected the lipid oxidation rate in the emulsions: the formation of conjugated diene hydroperoxides and the hexanal concentration in the static headspace were increased at pH 6. Pentanal, hexanal, 3-pentanol, and 1-octen-3-one showed odor activity in the emulsions after 6 days of storage, for both pH 3 and 6. Larger amounts of odor active compounds were released from the pH 6 emulsion with extended storage. It was shown that this increased release at pH 6 was not due to increased volatility because an increase in pH diminished the static headspace concentrations of added compounds in emulsions.

Abstract
Our study was designed to determine whether hydrogenated fat high in trans monoenes concentration affected prostaglandin synthesis. Corn oil (CO), butter (B), hydrogenated vegetable oil (HF) and coating fat (CF) were used in this study. These fats were fed to rats for 10 wk at 10 g/100 g diet. The phospholipid (PL) fatty acid content of platelets, aorta and heart was determined by gas liquid chromatography, and the in vitro aorta production of prostacyclin (PGI2) from exogenous or endogenous arachidonic acid (AA) was measured using the radioimmuno-assay (RIA) method. Serum thromboxane B2 (TXB2) released by platelets as thromboxane A2 (TXA2) during incubation of whole blood was also measured by this method. In the group fed CF, AA was significantly lower in the PL of aorta, platelet and heart, and the ratio 20:3(n-9)/20:4(n-6) was greater than in the groups fed CO, B or HF, indicating that the group fed CF was essential fatty acid (EFA) deficient. Although AA was significantly lower in the aorta and platelet PL of the group fed HF compared to the group fed CO, that difference did not affect the amounts of PGI2 or TXB2 produced in these groups. The group fed CF had significantly less PGI2 and TXB2 released by aorta and platelets than the other groups. This was the result of the reduced level of AA and the presence of higher amounts of 20:3(n-9) acid in the PL, which might act as a competitive inhibitor for cyclooxygenase. The aortic production of PGI2 from exogenous AA did not differ among the groups indicating that prostaglandin synthetase was not affected by the dietary fat. We conclude that the consumption of hydrogenated fats high in trans 18:1 acids with adequate amount of linoleic acid had no effect on the amount of thromboxane or prostacyclin produced by platelet or aorta in vitro.

Abstract
We examined in vivo the effect of dietary fats and oils with different peroxidizability on protein carbonyl content, the presumed index of free radical-mediated protein oxidation. For 15.6 months, SHRSP (stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive strain) rats were fed a diet supplemented with lard, safflower oil, perilla oil or fish oil/soybean oil, the peroxidizability of which increases in this order. The peroxidizability of tissue lipids was positively correlated with the protein carbonyl content in skeletal muscle, but not in the brain, heart or liver. The protein carbonyl content in the lard group was higher in the brain and liver compared to the other dietary groups. These results contradict the concept that long-term feeding of easily autoxidizable fatty acids allows the accumulation of lipid peroxides to accelerate the development of the free radical diseases, and suggest that tissue protein carbonyl content is not a simple reflection of autoxidizability-related lipid peroxidation but is also influenced by other biochemical processes.

Abstract
Lipids are one of the main dietary components that serve several functions in foods and nutrition. They could be endogenous or deliberately included in food. The basic molecules of lipids undergo different chemical reactions during refining, processing and storage. Some of these chemical reactions enhance the usage and functionality of food lipids. This chapter discusses the chemical changes of lipids during various processing operations. Specific changes in the minor constituents of lipids are also included.

Abstract
As chronic consumption of a diet devoid of n-3 fatty acid induced modification of neurotransmission pathways in the frontal cortex of rats, plasmalogen alteration could occur in this area. Because of the propensity to facilitate membrane fusion, plasmenylethanolamine (PmE), a major plasmalogen of brain, may be involved in synaptic transmission. Female rats were fed diet containing peanut oil [(n-3)-deficient diet] through two generations. Two weeks before mating, half of the female rats of the second generation received a diet containing peanut oil and rapeseed oil (control group). The distribution and acyl composition of major phospholipids, phosphatidylethanolamine and PmE, were measured in the frontal cortex, striatum, and cerebellum of the male progeny of the two groups at 60 d of age. The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) deficiency had no effect on the distribution of phospholipids in all brain regions but affected their acyl composition differently. The level of 22:6n-3 was significantly lower and compensated for by higher levels of n-6 fatty acids in all regions and phospholipids studied. However, docosahexaenoic acid, being more concentrated in the PmE of frontal cortex, is also more decreased in the n-3-deficient rats compared to the striatum. By contrast, striatum PmE has retained more 22:6n-3 than PmE of the other regions. In addition, the increase of n-6 PUFA was significantly lower in frontal cortex PmE compared to the striatum and cerebellum PmE. In association with altered neurotransmission observed in frontal cortex of n-3-deficient rats, our results suggest that frontal cortex PmE might be more affected in chronically alpha-linolenic-deficient rats. However, by retaining 22:6n-3, striatum PmE could be most resilient.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) in the diet can be efficiently absorbed and incorporated into tissue membranes, resulting in an increased production of thromboxane A2 by platelets and increased ex vivo platelet aggregability. Results from previous studies have shown that AA is concentrated in the membrane phospholipids of lean meats. However, the concentration of AA in the visible fat portion of meats also may be significant despite being ignored in most studies. The aim of this study was to accurately quantitate the AA content of visible fat and the lean portion of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, duck, and turkey. The visible fat of meat contained a significant quantity of AA, ranging from 20 to 180 mg/100 g fat, whereas the AA content of the lean portion of meat was lower, ranging from 30 to 99 mg/100 g lean meat. Beef and lamb meats contained lower levels of AA in both the visible fat and lean portion than that from the other species. The highest level of AA in lean meat was in duck (99 mg/100 g), whereas pork fat had the highest concentration for the visible fats (180 mg/100 g). The lean portions of beef and lamb contained the higher levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) compared with white meats which were high in AA and low in n-3 PUFA. The present data indicate that the visible meat fat can make a contribution to dietary intake of AA, particularly for consumers with high intakes of fat from pork or poultry meat.

Abstract
The present study examines whether the consumption of a moderately altered olive oil influenced body weight gain and food efficiency ratio of pregnant rats as well as placental and fetal development. Olive oil used for frying 15 times undergoes a relatively slight alteration involving a statistically significant increase in polar content (9.0+/-0.1 mg/100 mg oil vs 2.0+/-0.1 mg/100 mg oil; p < 0.001). The methyl ester content also increased (5.1+/-0.8 mg/100 mg oil vs 1.8+/-0.5 mg/100 mg oil; p < 0.02), while the linoleic acid and oleic acid contents decreased significantly (6.2+/-0.6% oil vs 7.2+/-0.2% oil and 75.8+/-0.6% vs 78.9+/-0.2%, respectively, both p < 0.05). Wistar rats were divided into four groups, two of which included pregnant rats (P1 and P2) and the other two, non-pregnant rats (NP1 and NP2). Groups NP1 and P1 received a diet containing 15% of fat as unused olive oil, while groups NP2 and P2 were fed a diet with a fat content of 15% as the olive oil used in 15 fryings. Pregnancy increased food intake, body weight, weight gain and food efficiency ratio (P1 vs NP1, and P2 vs NP1), while consumption of the used olive oil diet with respect to the unused oil diet did not alter food intake, body weight, weight gain and food efficiency ratio, placental weight, fetal weight and the number of fetuses in P2 rats with respect to P1 ones. These results suggest that in pregnant rats consumption of olive oil with a moderate level of alteration, as the only dietary fat source, exerts no detrimental effects on the mother weight gain or conceptus development.

Abstract
The yield variations in fatty acid content, degree of acidity, peroxides, K270 and K232 indexes, the profile of the different fatty acids and alpha tocopherol were studied in different virgin olive oils obtained in the laboratory oil-mill. These different olive oils were pressed from the following olive varieties: Arbequina, Blanqueta, Empeltre, Frantoio, Hojiblanca, Manzanilla, Negral, Picual, and Royal, all of which were grown since being planted, on the same land, under the same growth conditions. The differences found must not be considered as absolute values but rather in comparative terms between the varieties. The greatest balance between the different parameters analyzed was seen in the Empeltre variety, which is that planted in greatest number in the trial area.

Abstract
In the refining process of the oil, this is subjected to extreme conditions, and there is an interest in knowing the comparative variation in the contents of fatty acids, alpha tocopherol and other quality indicating parameters during the refining process carried out under the same conditions as in industry, but in the laboratory. Refined oil is a product which meets the characteristics of the food regulations, but which, due to the decrease in the alpha tocopherol content and in polyunsaturated fatty acids, has decreased some of its excellent nutritional properties. The process with the greatest influence is saponification.

Abstract
The main method to study platelet function in dietary studies has been the platelet aggregation test in vitro. Even though it is well established that dietary cis-unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) modify platelet aggregation some uncertainty still exists how to interpret the in vitro results in the context of a situation in vivo. The other ways to look at platelet activation are measurements of thromboxane metabolites in urine or the concentration of beta-thromboglobulin (betaTG) released from alpha-granules. Dietary fish oil or long-chain n-3 FAs lower the high basal excretion rate of thromboxane, while only a modest effect is noticed at a low basal excretion rate. Results on the effects of other cis-unsaturated FAs on urinary TXB2 metabolites are almost totally lacking. Furthermore, platelet betaTG release in vivo does not seem to be affected by changes in dietary FAs. The regulatory function of dietary FAs in platelets is extremely complex, and clearly more should be understood about the association between dietary FAs and platelet membrane FAs in connection with platelet responses to physiological stimuli and subsequent signal transduction inside the platelets.

Abstract
The major source of trans unsaturated fatty acid bearing fats (trans fats) is the partially hydrogenated fats present in margarines, salad and cooking oils. When ingested, trans fats are deposited in tissues but disappear when the nutritional stimulus is removed. They have no adverse effects on growth or reproduction in rats. Trans fats are hypercholesterolemic for rabbits and monkeys but no more atherogenic than their cis counterparts. In man, trans fats elevate cholesterol but the extent of elevation may depend on the level of dietary linoleic acid. In some, but not all, studies they elevate Lp(a); the difference may reflect the presence of specific trans isomers--an area that merits further studies. Tissue of subjects with coronary disease contain no more trans fatty acids than those of controls. Reviews of the literature by expert committees in the US and UK conclude that at current levels of intake dietary trans fats pose no health problems. However, more research is needed especially with regard to pregnancy, lactation, and neonatal health. Current concerns should not deflect our attention from the larger aspects of fat and health.

Abstract
The quality of three vegetable fats (cocoa butter and two commercial fats) and three roasted nut oils (almond, hazelnut and peanut) used as raw material in the chocolate products manufacturing was studied. The hydroperoxide content, oxidative stability and fatty acid composition were determined and its health repercussion by atherogenicity and thrombogenicity indexes. Two commercial fats and cocoa butter showed higher oxidative stability, atherogenic and thrombogenic properties than oils because of its different fatty acid profiles. Peroxide value was a low reliability parameter of raw material shelf live. Rancimat presented a good correlation with the unsaturation index of different fats and oils, it was a better index than peroxide value. In the chocolate products manufacturing it would be advisable a good raw material selection and formulation in order to get a balance between technological properties, organoleptic qualities and the influence on the health. Those raw material with less primary oxidation and higher oxidative stability were also those of higher atherogenicity and thrombogenicity indexes.

Abstract
The responsiveness of the rat aorta after chronic consumption of 15% (wt/wt) fresh and thermally oxidized palm oil diets was studied under standard organ bath procedures. Aortic rings from the oxidized oil-fed group showed significantly (P < 0.05) enhanced vascular responses to noradrenaline and potassium chloride when compared with the control and fresh palm oil-fed groups. The maximum tensions were 285.10 +/- 30 mg/mg tissue weight for the oxidized oil-fed group and 148.98 +/- 36 mg/mg for the control in response to noradrenaline. The fresh oil-fed group produced maximum tension of 133.9 +/- 20 mg/mg which was not significantly different from the control. The trend was similar with potassium chloride. The maximum tensions were 206.31 +/- 25 mg/mg for the oxidized oil-fed group and 93.33 +/- 13 mg/mg for the control group. The fresh oil-fed group produced maximum tension of 109.31 +/- 7.8 mg/mg which was not significantly different from the control. Relaxation to acetylcholine was significantly (P < 0.01) attenuated in the aortic rings obtained from the oxidized palm oil-fed group when compared with the control and fresh palm oil-fed groups. The percentage maximum relaxations to acetylcholine were 28.1 +/- 6.7% in the oxidized oil-fed group, 71.4 +/- 6.0% in control and 78.2 +/- 6.0% in the fresh oil-fed groups. The relaxation in the fresh oil-fed group was not significantly different from control. These results suggest that functional changes occur in rat blood vessels after chronic consumption of thermally oxidized palm oil.

Abstract
This work describes the long-term effects of two different diets, one rich in olive oil and the other in sunflower oil, on serum lipid and lipoprotein levels after the establishment of fatty liver in rats 8 and 15 months old. The serum lipid and lipoprotein levels as well as the steatotic process have been evaluated by biochemical and histological methods, respectively. The results showed that fatty liver was well developed with both long-term high-fat diets, and hepatocytes were filled with many lipid droplets. This process was more evident in the portal zones, where fat hepatocytes were more numerous. Serum total cholesterol (TC) and HDL-C levels were highest in the sunflower oil fed rats, whereas the TG and LDL-C levels were highest in the olive oil group. Finally, the atherogenic indexes (HDL/TC, HDL/LDL, HDL/(TC-HDL)) were higher in the sunflower oil diet group than in the olive oil group.

Abstract
The study investigated the changes in individual molecular species in PE and the effects of a variety of dietary fats with varying proportions of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on membrane composition, eicosanoid production and cytokine production in thioglycollate-elicited rat macrophages. The data obtained indicates that the greatest degree of modulation by dietary fats on cytokine production was observed after 8 weeks feeding and at this time, the total diacyl species containing linoleic acid (18:2 n-6) and arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6) at the sn-2 position related in a curvilinear fashion to total 18:2 n-6 intake and that IL1 and IL6 production related in a curvilinear fashion to the total diacyl species with 20:4 and 18:2 at the sn-2 position. After 4 weeks of feeding, fish and olive oils enhanced production of IL6 and LTB4, however, while IL1 production, after 8 weeks of dietary treatment, was greatest from macrophages of animals fed corn and olive oils, PGE2 production was greatest in the former group and LTB4 production in the latter. Thus an eicosanoid effect may explain the modulatory influence of olive oil and IL1 production but, cannot explain the effect of corn oil on production of the cytokine. The data from the present study provides some insight into how dietary fats could provide therapy for conditions in which inflammatory cytokines are implicated.

Abstract
The activity of hepatic fatty acid oxidation enzymes in rats fed linseed and perilla oils rich in alpha-linolenic acid (alpha-18:3) was compared to that in rats fed safflower oil rich in linoleic acid (18:2) and a saturated fat (palm oil). Palm and safflower oils were essentially devoid of alpha-18:3. The palmitoyl-CoA oxidation rates both in mitochondrial and peroxisomal pathways in liver homogenates were significantly higher in rats fed linseed oil than in those fed palm and safflower oils. Among rats fed diets containing palm oil, safflower oil, fat mixtures composed of safflower and perilla oils (2:1, w/w and 1:2, w/w), and perilla oil, mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty oxidation rates increased with increasing dietary levels of perilla oil. Compared to palm and safflower oils, dietary alpha-18:3 either in the form of linseed or perilla oils profoundly increased the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase, acyl-CoA oxidase, 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, and 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase. Smaller but significant increases by dietary alpha-18:3 of the activity of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, enoyl-CoA hydratase, and delta 3, delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase were also observed. Unexpectedly, dietary alpha-18:3 greatly reduced the activity of 3-hydroxy-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. Compared to palm oil, dietary polyunsaturated fats significantly reduced the activity of fatty acid synthetase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase to the same levels. The activity of pyruvate kinase was significantly higher in rats fed palm oil than in those fed polyunsaturated fats. The extent of reduction was more prominent with polyunsaturated fats containing alpha-18:3 than with safflower oil devoid of alpha-18:3. Thus, compared to linoleic acid and saturated fatty acids, dietary alpha-18:3 caused characteristic changes in the activity of hepatic enzymes in fatty acid and glucose metabolism in rats.

Abstract
Various off-line methods for clean-up and sample enrichment are available for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in edible oils and fats. These methods consist of laborious and time consuming procedures. This study reports an on-line method using LC-LC coupling. After clean-up of the sample on a donor-acceptor complex chromatography (DACC) column the PAHs are transferred to and separated on an analytical HPLC column. Quantification is carried out with fluorescence detection. The DACC column clean-up is fast and is carried out during the HPLC run of the previous sample. Compared to the traditional methods this automated on-line method saves considerable time and significantly reduces the amount of solvent waste. The method uses common HPLC equipment and its performance has been evaluated.

Abstract
An on-line combination of gel permeation chromatography and gas chromatography has been designed using either a laboratory-built or a commercially available LC-GC apparatus to determine organophosphorus pesticides in olive oil. Gel permeation chromatography was used for sample pretreatment, viz. to separate the low-molecular-mass pesticides from the higher-molecular-mass fat constituents of the oil. A mixture of n-decane and the azeotropic mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane was found to give an adequate separation between the fat and the organophosphorus pesticides. The pesticide-containing fraction, monitored by a UV detector, was transferred on-line to the gas chromatograph using a loop-type interface. n-Decane (6%, v/v) was added to the eluent in order to widen the application range of the transfer technique towards more volatile pesticides. After solvent evaporation through the solvent vapour exit and subsequent GC separation, the compounds were selectively detected with a thermionic or a flame photometric detector. The set-up allowed the direct analysis of oil samples after dilution in the gel permeation chromatography eluent without further sample clean-up. Detection limits were about 5 and 10 micrograms/kg with the thermionic and the flame photometric detector, respectively, when using an injection volume of only 30 microliters of the 20-fold diluted oil. The total procedure was linear in the 0.01-10 mg/kg range for both detectors. For twenty organophosphorus pesticides, the relative standard deviations were 3-13% at the 20-60 micrograms/kg level.

Abstract
Cell cholesterol efflux to serum is stimulated after an oral fat load. The impact of meal fatty acid composition was explored by measure of serum promoted cholesterol efflux from Fu5AH cells after ingestion of 4 different fats: sunflower (Sf), oleic-sunflower (Ol), a mixed oil (Mx), and beef tallow (Bt). High density lipoprotein (HDL)2 and HDL3 were isolated and analyzed. Cholesterol efflux increased regularly after Ol (P<0.05 at 4 h and P<0.02 at 8 h), and 8 h after Mx (P<0.02) or Bt (P<0.05), but not after Sf. Percent HDL3 phospholipids increased after Ol (P<0.05 at 6 h and P<0.01 at 8 H) and 8 h after Mx (P<0.01). After Ol, variations in efflux and percent phospholipids in HDL3 (but not HDL2) were positively correlated (r=0.929; P=0.007 at 6 h). Using HDL3, efflux increased 6 h after Ol (P<0.05) but not after Sf, and efflux was correlated with HDL3 phospholipid concentration in medium (r=0.913; P=0.011). Thus postprandial increase in cholesterol efflux in influenced by ingested fats in relation to increased phospholipid availability on HDL3. The protective effect of monounsaturated fatty acids against atherogenesis might be partly mediated by an enhanced ability of postprandial serum to accept cell cholesterol.

Abstract
Visual transduction is one of the best characterized G protein--coupled signalling systems. In addition, about 50% of the disk membrane phospholipid acyl chains are 22:6n-3, making this system ideal for determining the role of polyunsaturation in modulating membrane-signalling systems. The extent of formation of metarhodopsin II (MII), the G protein--activating photointermediate of rhodopsin, was studied in phospholipid vesicles composed of a variety of phosphatidylcholines, differing in their acyl chain composition at the sn-2 position. The amount of MII formed increased progressively with the level of acyl chain unsaturation at the sn-2 position. The effect of added cholesterol was to reduce the amount of MII formed. The acyl chain packing free volume of the rhodopsin containing lipid vesicles was characterized by a fractional volume parameter fv derived from measurements of the time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy decay of the hydrophobic membrane probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. The relationship among sn-2 acyl chain unsaturation, cholesterol content, and MII formation is explained on the basis of variation in fv with bilayer lipid composition and a novel model for the packing of phospholipids containing polyenoic acyl chains, such as 22:6n-3.

Abstract
2H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) on chain-deuterated phospholipids has been used to study the influence of the degree of unsaturation on lipid chain packing and on area per molecule at the lipid water interface. Order and motions of deuterated stearic acid in position sn-1 of phosphatidylcholines (PC) containing 18:0, 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, 20:4n-6, 20:5n-3, or 22:6n-3 in position sn-2 were investigated in pure PC and in mixtures of PC in a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) matrix. Results reveal that lipid packing in bilayers is mainly controlled by packing requirements at the lipid water interface. Increasing degrees of unsaturation lower chain order and increase area per PC molecule, whereas inclusion of PE in model membranes has the opposite effect. Chain order and motions in highly unsaturated lipid membranes are less sensitive to changes in temperature. Temperature sensitivity decreases further upon incorporation of PC into a PE matrix. Unsaturation induces chain disordering, which may be interpreted as an increase in area per molecule of lipids toward the center of the bilayer. This may result in a lower packing density of unsaturated lipids at the lipid water interface. We hypothesize that these differences in lipid packing and dynamics may influence activity of membrane proteins.
