Chapter 9 provides some of the background evidence suggesting a role for phytochemicals in health promotion and disease prevraition. In this chapter Hu reviews and summarizes epidemiological research on plant-based foods and dietary patterns and concludes that there is substantial evidence that healthy plant-based diets—those with adequate omega-3 fatty adds, that arc rich in unsaturated fats, whole grains, fraits and vegetables—can, and should play an important part in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases. ...

Omega-3 fatty adds are found in high concentrations in fish oil. Fish do not actually synthesize these compounds, but obtain them from algae. Even higher concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids are found in flaxseed oil. Lingonberry and kiwi are also rich in these compounds. 

Oil from fish such as tuna and salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty adds, including the C22 omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid [DHA, whose full lUPAC name is (4Z, 7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid]. DHA is also found in breast milk, gray matter of the brain, and retinal tissue.

Microalgae can also produce high-value products like beta-carotene and animal feed or can be consumed directly as a health food product (Spolaore et al., 2006). Some microalgal species, likeArthrospira and Chlorella, are sold as nutritional supplements (Spolaore et al., 2006). Docosahexaenoic add (DHA), an omega-3 fatty add, can be extracted from some species for use in infant formula. When produced for animal feed, they can be used to...
