Seed Inoculation

Seed inoculation of forage crops by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) generally results in higher profitability, but also modifies the chemical composition of silage in terms of increased biomass, protein, and dry matter. Raw milk aroma is affected by the type of feed. This work investigated the influence of ensiled forage obtained by seed inoculation with AMF on the volatile fractions and fatty acid composition of milk. Two experiments were carried out: in the first, buffaloes were fed maize silage, and in the second, cows were fed sorghum silage. The volatile fractions of milk were quantified by headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME), combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and fatty acids by gas chromatography (GC). The ensiled forage obtained with AMF increased saturated fatty acids (SFAs), and decreased monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in both experiments. The volatile fraction in milk samples obtained from bovines fed mycorrhizal ensiled forage showed an increase of free fatty acids and ketones, responsible for cheesy and fruity odors. Aldehydes, responsible for green and grassy notes, increased only in the milk from buffaloes fed ensiled maize. Our results suggest that inoculation of maize and sorghum seed with AMF, combined with a low rate of fertilizers, leads to ensiled forage that could slightly affect the FA profile and odor quality of milk.

Abundant Fatty Acid

There is evidence that secondary metabolites are involved in the fungal pathogenicity and virulence of Neofusicoccum spp. Fatty acids may also influence the plant–pathogen interaction but, so far, no information is available on their production by species of Neofusicoccum associated with Botryosphaeria dieback, which is a well-known syndrome of several plants with a complex etiology. In the present paper, the production of fatty acids in liquid medium, by strains of N. vitifusiforme and N. parvum associated with declining Sicilian vine plants, was evaluated. Data, acquired via gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS), show the presence of linoleic acid as the most abundant fatty acid produced by both examined strains. In addition, the pathogenicity of N. vitifusiforme was tested on 2-year-old grapevine plants of cv. Inzolia.

Exopolysaccharides Production

Streptococcus mutans has been considered as the major etiological agent of dental caries, mostly due to its arsenal of virulence factors, including strong biofilm formation, exopolysaccharides production, and high acid production. Here, we present the antivirulence activity of fatty acids derived from the endophytic fungus Arthrographis kalrae isolated from Coriandrum sativum against Streptococcus mutans. The chemical composition of the fatty acids was analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry GC-MS and revealed nine compounds representing 99.6% of fatty acids, where unsaturated and saturated fatty acids formed 93.8% and 5.8 % respectively. Oleic and linoleic acids were the major unsaturated fatty acids. Noteworthy, the fatty acids at the concentration of 31.3 mg L–1 completely inhibited Streptococcus mutans biofilm, and water insoluble extracellular polysaccharide production in both polystyrene plates, and tooth model assay using saliva-coated hydroxyapatite discs. Inhibition of biofilm correlated significantly and positively with the inhibition of water insoluble extracellular polysaccharide (R = 1, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, Arthrographis kalrae fatty acids at a concentration of 7.8 mg L–1 exhibited acidogenesis-mitigation activity. They did not show bactericidal activity against Streptococcus mutans and cytotoxic activity against human oral fibroblast cells at the concentration used. On the other hand, saliva-coated hydroxyapatite discs treated with sub-minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration of fatty acids showed disturbed biofilm architecture with a few unequally distributed clumped matrices using fluorescence microscopy. Our findings revealed that the intracellular fatty acid arrays derived from endophytic Arthrographis kalrae could contribute to the biofilm-preventing alternatives, specifically Streptococcus mutans biofilms.

This study aimed to know the profile and composition of fatty acid consisting of polyunsaturated fatty acid content (PUFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), and saturated fatty acid (SFA) in selar fish oil (selaroides leptolesis) with various levels of basil powder (Ocimum basilicum)². The research was conducted at the Animal Product Technology Laboratory, Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries of Tadulako University. The research using 4 treatments and 3 replications with treatment M0 = 10 ml fish oil + 0% Basil Powder, M1 = 10 ml fish oil + 2% Basil Powder, M2 = 10 ml fish oil + 4% Basil Powder, M3 = 10 ml fish oil + 6% Basil Powder, each treatment repeated 3 times so that there are 12 experimental units. Fatty acid profile analysis using GCMS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), conducted in Organic Chemistry Laboratory of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences UGM Jogjakarta. The results of this study showed that 10 ml fish oil with various levels of basil powder added 18 types of fatty acids belonging to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and saturated fatty acids (SFA). It can be concluded that the addition of 6% powder of basil can defend SFA and increase MUFA and PUFA.

The present study was aimed at analyzing the fatty acid composition, tocopherols, and physico-chemical characterization of wood apple (Limonia acidissima L.) seed oil and the nutritional profile of seed cake. The fatty acids in seed oil were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the total seed oil was 32.02 ± 0.08%, comprising oleic (21.56 ± 0.57%), alpha-linolenic (16.28 ± 0.29%), and linoleic acid (10.02 ± 0.43%), whereas saturated fatty acid content was 33.38 ± 0.60% including palmitic (17.68 ± 0.65%) and stearic acid (14.15 ± 0.27%). A greater amount of unsaturated fatty acids (52.37%) were noticed compared to saturated fatty acids (33.38%); hence the seed is highly suitable for nutritional and industrial applications. Gamma-tocopherol was present in a higher quantity (39.27 ± 0.07 mg/100 g) as compared to alpha (12.64 ± 0.01 mg/100 g) and delta (3.77 ± 0.00 mg/100 g) tocopherols, which are considered as natural antioxidants. The spectrophotometric technique was used for quantitative analysis of total phenolic content, and it revealed 135.42 ± 1.47 mg gallic acid equivalent /100 g DW in seed cake. All the results of the studied seed oil and cake showed a good source of natural functional ingredients for several health benefits.

Transesterification Method

The present study assessed the efficiency of two transesterification methods for the identification of fatty acids in the copepodTisbe biminiensisVolkmann-Rocco, 1973. In the first method, the samples were esterified by basic catalysis with KOH in methanol, and in the second method they were esterified by acid catalysis with BF3. Fatty acids were identified by comparison of retention times and co-injection with standard Mix C4-C24, using gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Twenty-nine fatty acids were detected in samples transesterified by basic catalysis or acid catalysis. The predominant fatty acids were C18 (19.18%), C16 (13.02%), and C12 (11.39%) for samples transesterified by acid catalysis; and C13 (25.24%), C21 (11.32%), and C18 (10.65%) for samples transesterified by basic catalysis. The results show that fatty acid analysis for copepods may be affected by the transesterification method. Sample transesterification by acid catalysis was efficient to identify monosaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, whereas transesterification by basic catalysis was efficient to identify saturated fatty acids. Essential fatty acids were present in the copepod, which suggests thatT.biminiensisis a useful food to be used in larviculture.
