1. 1. Is omega-3 from algae a good substitute to fish oil – in human nutrition?

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Maria Pia Karlsson Rattenni; [2022]
   Keywords : omega-3; EPA; DHA; algae oil; fish oil; fish oil substitute; PUFA; LC-PUFA; human nutrition; health benefits; algae as n-3 source;

   Abstract : Polyunsaturated fatty acids have been proven to be important for human health, especially the omega 3 and 6. Humans cannot synthesise these fatty acids by themselves and need therefore to get them from external sources. Omega-6 is found in many different foods, such as flaxseeds, walnuts, and vegetable oils. READ MORE

3. 2. Lipid content and profile of Rhodotorula toruloides during fermentation

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Khairul Kibria; [2021]
   Keywords : Rhodotorula toruloides; fatty acids; lipid class; triglycerides; phospholipid; gas chromatography;

   Abstract : Oleaginous yeast such as Rhodotorula toruloides is a promising organism for production of lipids from lignocellulosic substrates. Microbial lipids have potential applications in energy, food, feed and pharmaceutical industry, because most of the lipids are triglycerides with long chain fatty acids that are comparable to typical vegetable oils and can be obtained without arable land requirement.

4. 3. Analysis of fatty acids in egg yolks of various production systems

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Jonatan Nyberg; [2017]
   Keywords : egg; fatty acid; omega-3; egg enrichment; docosahexaenoic acid; omega-6 omega-3 ratio; organic; free range; DHA;

   Abstract : OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to compare fatty acid composition of different eggs. Seven kinds of eggs from three companies were taken, including organic, free range, enriched and “farmer” eggs. RESULTS: In total 15 fatty acids were identified. READ MORE

5. 4. The effect of sesamin supplementation in vegetable oil enriched feed on the expression of microRNA in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Emma Thorén; [2017]
   Keywords : microRNA; sesamin; Salmo salar; lipid metabolism;

   Abstract : Fish is without doubt the most important source of valuable omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids (FA), especially the long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) eicosa-pentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Aquaculture production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is one of the largest fish industries in the world and a dominant source of fish in Western diet. READ MORE

6. 5. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid production by microalgae

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

   Author : Ida Collinius; [2016]
   Keywords : micro algae; LC-PUFA; eicosanoids;

   Abstract : Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are essential to humans and needs to be consumed through the diet instead of production in the body. LC-PUFAs are in this report be categorized into omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The aim of this study was to focus on LC-PUFAs that can be produced by species of microalgae of commercial interests.
