Fish-oils

Adapted from Reina et al. (1997) each result represents die average of three oils tested absolute composition calculated for each identifiable sterol as mg/100 g oil relative% composition calculated as ratio of each sterol peak/total sterol peak area. 

Values for it are listed by the AOCS (1997), which indicates that campesterol is high at 25-30%, stigmasterol is absent, and high levels of A5-avenosterol and 24-methylene cholesterol are present however, a source is not given for these values and they should be confirmed. This publication also lists blackcurrant seed oil as containing 7.2-10.4% campesterol 0.5-1.0% stigmasterol 70-85% (3-sitosterol 2-5% A5-avenosterol 0.5—4.5% A7-stigmasterol and 0.4-2% A7-avenasterol.

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. 

Quantitative analysis. Spectroscopic analysis is widely used in the analysis of vitamin preparations, mixtures of hydrocarbons (e.y., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes) and other systems exhibiting characteristic electronic spectra. The extinction coefficient at 326 mp, after suitable treatment to remove other materials absorbing in this region, provides the best method for the estimation of the vitamin A content of fish oils.

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. 

In the United States, more than 16.3 x 10 kg of human-inedible raw materials are available each year, and the rendering industry is a valuable asset in diverting these into valuable ingredients for use primarily in animal foods (4). The three largest meat packers are responsible for nearly four-fifths of aU red meat production (5) and enormous amounts of rendered meat meal and animal fat. Three broiler producers account for about 40% of the total broiler production. American Proteins, Inc. (RosweU, Georgia), the world s largest processor of poultry by-products, produces more than 450,000 t of poultry meal, feather meal, and poultry fat each year. It also produces more than 100,000 t of fish meal, fish oil, and fish products each year. Pish meal production worldwide in 1986 was estimated at 6.23 x 10 t, which with the 125 x 10 t of meat and bone meal plus 6.67 x 10 t of feather meal and poultry by-product meal (6) is the primary source of animal proteins used by the pet food industry. 

For cats, add 10 lU vitamin E above minimum level per gram of fish oil per kilogram of diet.

Apphcations include ka olin clay dewatering, separation of fish oils from press Hquor, starch and gluten concentration, clarification of wet-process phosphoric acid, tar sands, and concentrations of yeast, bacteria, and fungi from growth media in protein synthesis (14). 

Fats and Oils. Fats and oils (6) are traditionally sulfated using concentrated sulfuric acid. These are produced by the sulfation of hydroxyl groups and/or double bonds on the fatty acid portion of the triglyceride. Reactions across a double bond are very fast, whereas sulfation of the hydroxyl group is much slower. Yet 12-hydroxyoleic acid sulfates almost exclusively at the hydroxyl group. The product is generally a complex mixture of sulfated di-and monoglycerides, and even free fatty acids. Other feeds are castor oil, fish oil, tallow, and sperm oil. 

Sulfated Natural Oils and Fats. Sulfated natural triglycerides were the first nonsoap commercial surfactants introduced in the middle of the nineteenth century. Since then sulfates of many vegetable, animal, and fish oils have been investigated (see also Fats AND FATTY oils). With its hydroxyl group and a double bond, ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxy-9,10-octadecenoic acid) is an oil constituent particularly suited for sulfation. Its sulfate is known as turkey-red oil. Oleic acid is also suited for sulfation. Esters of these acids can be sulfated with a minimum of hydrolysis of the glyceride group. Polyunsaturated acids, with several double bonds, lead to dark-colored sulfation products. The reaction with sulfuric acid proceeds through either the hydroxyl or the double bond. The sulfuric acid half ester thus formed is neutralized with caustic soda ... 

Vitamin A [79-80-1] (6) is stmcturaHy similar to vitamin A [68-26-8] and is also found in fish oils. This compound is important biologically for fish and other lower animals. Interestingly, tadpoles require vitamin A but after metamorphosis require vitamin A (8). 

Fish-hver oil, Hver, milk, and eggs are good natural sources of the D vitamin. Most milk sold in the United States is fortified with manufactured vitamin D. Fish oil is the only commercial source of natural vitamin D, and the content of the vitamin varies according to species as well as geographically, ie, Adantic cod contain 100 lU/g where lU (International Unit) = 0.025 /ig of vitamin D, whereas oriental tuna (Percomofpk) contain 45,000 lU/g oil. 

Provitamin D. Provitamin is made from cholesterol, and its commercial production begias with the isolation of cholesterol from one of its natural sources. Cholesterol occurs ia many animals, and is generally extracted from wool grease obtained by washing wool after it is sheared from sheep. This grease is a mixture of fatty-acid esters, which contain ca 15 wt % cholesterol. The alcohol fraction is obtained after saponification, and the cholesterol is separated, usually by complexation with 2iac chloride, followed by decomplexation and crystallisation. Cholesterol can also be extracted from the spiaal cords and brains of animals, especially catde, and from fish oils. 

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. 

A surface coating protects the substrate against abrasion, moisture, light, and corrosion. The binder for the pigment and extenders is fluid before application and rigid soon after. Natural binders range from gum arable to fish oil. The first varnishes were solutions of natural resins, having transparency, hardness, amorphous structure, and little permanence.

In nearly every pharmacy, supermarket, and health food store, you can find bottles of antioxidants and antioxidant-rich natural products, such as fish oils, Gingko biloba leaves, and wheat grass. These dietary supplements are intended to help the body control its population of radicals and, as a result, slow aging and degenerative diseases such as heart failure and cancer. 

Cyanomethane, commonly known as acetonitrile, CH3CN, is a toxic volatile liquid that is used as a solvent to purify steriods and to extract fatty acids from fish oils. Acetonitrile can be synthesized from methyl isonitrile by the isomerization reaction CH,NC(g) - CH3CN(g).
