Microalgae n-3 PUFAs Production and Use in Food and Feed Industries

N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), and especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are essential compounds for human health. They have been proven to act positively on a panel of diseases and have interesting anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer properties. For these reasons, they are receiving more and more attention in recent years, especially future food or feed development. EPA and DHA come mainly from marine sources like fish or seaweed. Unfortunately, due to global warming, these compounds are becoming scarce for humans because of overfishing and stock reduction. Although increasing in recent years, aquaculture appears insufficient to meet the increasing requirements of these healthy molecules for humans. One alternative resides in the cultivation of microalgae, the initial producers of EPA and DHA. They are also rich in biochemicals with interesting properties. After defining macro and microalgae, this review synthesizes the current knowledge on n-3 PUFAs regarding health benefits and the challenges surrounding their supply within the environmental context. Microalgae n-3 PUFA production is examined and its synthesis pathways are discussed. Finally, the use of EPA and DHA in food and feed is investigated. This work aims to define better the issues surrounding n-3 PUFA production and supply and the potential of microalgae as a sustainable source of compounds to enhance the food and feed of the future.

EPA/DHA对体外发酵及瘤胃液脂肪酸组成的影响

试验旨在研究日粮中添加不同水平的DHA/EPA对体外发酵和瘤胃液脂肪酸变化的影响。试验通过采用持续动态人工瘤胃装置,向发酵罐中添加EPA/DHA,连续培养7 d,分析脂肪酸组成的变化及发酵模式的改变。试验结果表明,日粮添加EPA/DHA使瘤胃液pH升高（与CK相比,Trt1和Trt2分别升高了0.11和0.35）,Trt2 与CK相比差异极显著（P<0.01）;与CK相比处理组3种主要挥发酸中乙酸浓度下降（P<0.01）,丙酸浓度升高(P<0.01),丁酸浓度下降(P<0.01),总挥发性脂肪酸浓度与对照组相比略有下降但差异不显著（P>0.05）;日粮添加EPA/DHA使瘤胃液脂肪酸成分发生改变。与CK相比处理组C18∶0含量显著下降（P<0.01）; t 11 C18∶1含量显著升高（P<0.01）;c-9,t-11 CLA含量显著升高（P<0.01）,但是两组之间差异均不显著。因此,日粮中添加不同水平的EPA/DHA可以改变瘤胃发酵模式,影响不饱和脂肪酸瘤胃氢化过程,使脂肪酸组成发生改变,为采用新的营养措施调控反刍动物产品中CLA的含量提供理论依据。

Effects of a dietary supplement of DHA-rich marine algae on Italian heavy pig production parameters

To evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with a marine algae product (MA) containing a high level of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on heavy pig production performances (including meat and subcutaneous fat quality), a trial was conducted on sixty Landrace × Large White barrows with a starting average body weight (BW) of 118 kg. Pigs were allocated to four experimental groups: a control group (A) fed a maize/soybean diet and three treatment groups in which MA was added at 2.5 g kg^− 1 over the last 8 weeks prior to slaughtering (group B) or at 5 and 2.5 g kg^− 1 over the last 4 weeks prior to slaughtering (groups C and D, respectively). Vitamin E was added at 12.5 mg kg^− 1 in the diets for groups B and D and at 25 mg kg^− 1 in the diet of group C. The four diets were formulated so as to supply the same amount of nutrients, with exception of vitamin E. Pigs were fed at a rate of 9% of their metabolic BW (BW^0.75) up to a maximum of 2.9 kg of dry matter per pig per day. Pigs were slaughtered at about 160 kg BW. The dietary treatment did not affect either the growth or slaughtering parameters of pigs. No significant differences were observed with respect to pH values, meat colour, loin composition and the iodine number of subcutaneous fat. Pigs on MA diets showed a significant (P < 0.01) improvement in DHA levels both in loin and in subcutaneous fat. No significant differences in relative fatty acid composition were observed between pigs receiving the MA supplement at the lower level (2.5 g kg^− 1) over an 8-week period (group B) and pigs receiving the higher MA supplement (5.0 g kg^− 1) over a 4-week period prior to slaughter (group C).     

Seasonal Changes in Proximate Composition and Fatty Acid Profile of Pufferfish (Lagocephalus sceleratus Gmelin, 1789) from the Mediterranean Sea of Turkey

This study represents a first report on the proximate composition and fatty acid profile of Lagocephalus sceleratus from the Mediterranean Sea as well as seasonal changes and sexual differences. Significant variations in the proximate composition were observed during the months of the study (p < 0.05). The highest moisture, fat, protein, and ash contents were found to be 78.47, 0.33, 21.62, and 1.63%, respectively. Total saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid values were similar throughout the year despite individual variations of 24.22–29.46 and 7.87–13.94%, respectively. However, significant variations were observed in total polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as significant differences between sexes (p < 0.05) with some exceptions. The major fatty acid was found as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), between 24.17 and 32.65%. Due to the low fat content of this species, the highest eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + DHA values were calculated as 80.93 mg/100 g of edible muscle. The results indicated that this species contains high nutritional properties in terms of protein content and fatty acid values.     

Recovery of Bioactive Peptides and Omega-3 Fatty Acids-Containing Phospholipids from Squid Processing By-Product Hydrolysate

ABSTRACT

The present study examined whether bioactive peptides and omega-3 fatty acids-containing phopholipids could be recovered from squid processing by-product (SPB) hydrolysate. The hydrolysate was produced at 55°C for varying times with endogenous proteases and centrifuged to yield peptides-containing supernatant and phospholipids-containing precipitate. The supernatant showed angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) values decreasing with hydrolysis time from 2.11 mg (0 h) to 1.71 mg (1 h), 1.38 mg (1.5 h), and 1.34 mg (2 h). Two-hour squid hydrolysate was further fractionated to isolate the most active fraction whose molecular weight was found to be below 10 kDa with IC₅₀ of 0.32 mg. The phospholipids-containing precipitate (45.6 g/100 g oil) was analyzed for a fatty acid profile, with the levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) being 16.86 and 29.24 g/100 g oil, respectively. The ACE inhibition by hydrolysate peptides and omega-3 fatty acid recovery support the nutraceutical potential of the SPB hydrolysate.
