  1. 11. Fatty acid composition of black soldier fly larvae : impact of the rearing substrate

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Nils Ewald; [2018]
    Keywords : Black soldier fly; Hermetia illucens; fatty acids; omega-3 fatty acids; malondialdehyde; blue mussels; waste management;

    Abstract : With an increasing world population and meat consumption the black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) shows potential as feed for animals, while recycling nutrients from food waste. To produce larvae of high quality as animal feed, further understanding is needed of how the substrate affects the nutritional composition of the larvae. READ MORE

  4. 13. Effects of diet quality and quantity on resource use, growth and fatty-acid composition of a benthic generalist consumer.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Adrian Grieve; [2017]
    Keywords : Food quality; allochthonous; autochthonous; consumer diet; somatic growth; fatty acids; stable isotopes.;

    Abstract : Variation in quality and quantity of food resources can affect consumer productivity responses throughout the food chain, particularly the efficiency at which basal resources are converted to consumer biomass. I performed a manipulative feeding experiment to investigate the somatic growth and fatty acid incorporation in the benthic generalist isopod Asellus aquaticus, in response to differing ratios of autochthonous (high quality algae) to allochthonous (low quality leaf litter) foods.

    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

  6. 15. 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
