Plants are able to introduce double bonds into fatty acids in the region between CIO and the (o-end and therefore can synthesize to3 and to6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fish oils also contain to3 and to6 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA (o3, 20 5, A5, 8, 11, 14, 17) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA 0)3,22 6, A4,7,10,13,16,19). The fish obtain these fatty acids by eating phytoplankton (plants that float in water).

Z,Z,Z,)-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid). Fish oils contain esters of eicosanoic and docosanoic acids with four to six double bonds separated by single methylene groups, eg, (i7//-Z)-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid [6217-54-5] in menhaden oil (4). The fatty acid with conjugated double bonds in tung oil is a-eleostearic acid [506-23-0] ((F,Z,F)-9,ll,13-octadecatrienoic acid) the predominant fatty acid in oiticica oil is licanic acid [17699-20-6] (4-oxo-(F,Z,F)-9,ll,13-octadecatrienoic acid). In all oils, other fatty acids including palmitic acid [57-10-3] (hexadecanoic acid), stearic acid [57-11-4] (octadecanoic acid), and oleic acid [112-80-1] ((Z)-9-octadecenoic acid) also are present. 

We originally believed that the short chain saturated fatty acids In oxidizing fish lipids contributed to burnt/flshy flavors. Saturated fatty acid concentrations (C4 - Cg) measured by volatile headspace analysis (32, 59) reached levels as high as 3 ppm In highly oxidized fish oils (32). Flavor threshholds for these short n-chaln fatty acids In oil systems In the literature (>.66 ppm, 63) Indicate that they could contribute notes to oxidizing fish oils. However, studies designed to document the role of short chain acids as flavor compounds detracting from the flavor quality of fish oils did not confirm earlier beliefs. 

Table 22.2 presents the fatty acid composition of the different vegetable oils commonly used in polymerization reactions [4-6]. Additionally, the fatty acid distribution of fish and algae oils are shown. As shown in the table, each oil has a specific fatty acid distribution. Oils from algae, such as microalgae, are raw materials with good perspectives for... 

Microalgae contain lipids and fatty acids as membrane components, storage products, metabolites, and sources of energy. Algae fatty acids and oils have a range of potential applications. Algal oils possess characteristics similar to those of fish and vegetable oils, and can thus be considered as potential substitutes for the products of fossil oil [62]. 

C22H34O2. A straight-chain fatty acid with 5 double bonds. A major component of fish oils and the oils of marine animals, clupeine Protamine class protein found in the sperm and testicles of the herring. On hydrolysis it gives about 90% of argenine. 

A USDA report indicates that between 1967 and 1988, butter consumption remained stable at 2 kg per capita, margarine dropped from 5.1 to 4.7 kg, and measured total fat intake per day dropped from 84.6 to 73.3 g (14). This study also projects that the reduced consumption of tropical oils is only temporary and will return to former use levels, possibly even higher. One reason for this projected rise in tropical oil consumption is the knowledge of the beneficial effects of medium-chain length acids high in lauric oils. There is a keen interest in omega-3 fatty acids, as well as linoleic acid, contained in fish oils. 

Fats and oils may be synthesized in enantiomerically pure forms in the laboratory (30) or derived from vegetable sources (mainly from nuts, beans, and seeds), animal depot fats, fish, or marine mammals. Oils obtained from other sources differ markedly in their fatty acid distribution. Table 2 shows compositions for a wide variety of oils. One variation in composition is the chain length of the fatty acid. Butterfat, for example, has a fairly high concentration of short- and medium-chain saturated fatty acids. Oils derived from cuphea are also a rich source of capric acid which is considered to be medium in chain length (32). Palm kernel and coconut oils are known as lauric oils because of their high content of C-12 saturated fatty acid (lauric acid). Rapeseed oil, on the other hand, has a fairly high concentration of long-chain (C-20 and C-22) fatty acids. 

Fa.ts nd Oils. Eats and oils from rendering animal and fish offal and vegetable oilseeds provide nutritional by-products used as a source of energy, unsaturated fatty acids, and palatabiHty enhancement. Eats influence the texture in finished pet foods. The use and price of the various melting point fats is deterrnined by the type and appearance of the desired finished food appearance.
