1. Lipid content and profile of Rhodotorula toruloides during fermentation
University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesAbstract : 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.

2. Algae and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesAbstract : The human body cannot produce enough amounts of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), on its own, to sustain the biological functions they have. Consuming essential fatty acids is fundamental for well-functioning bodily processes. The essential fatty acids are linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). READ MORE

3. 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 SciencesAbstract : 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

4. Felin hepatisk lipidos
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public HealthAbstract : Felin hepatisk lipidos (FHL) är den vanligaste metaboliska leversjukdomen hos katt, och innan behandling med nutritionell support blev standard var sannolikheten för överlevnad låg (ca 5-20%). Sjukdomen innebär en ackumulering av triglycerider i levern vilken leder till minskad leverfunktion och i värsta fall död. READ MORE

5. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid production by microalgae
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food ScienceAbstract : 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.
