Effect of feeding Aspergillus awamori and canola seed on the growth performance and muscle fatty acid profile in broiler chicken

The aim of this study was to examine effects of dietary supplementation with Aspergillus awamori and feeding canola seed on the growth and fatty acid profile in broilers. Twenty‐eight chicks (15 days old) were assigned to the following groups: (1) control, fed a basal diet; (2) awamori, fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.05% A. awamori; (3) canola, fed a diet containing 5% canola seed; and (4) canola + awamori, fed the canola diet supplemented with A. awamori (seven birds/group). Body weight gain was increased by A. awamori but not influenced by canola seed. Breast muscle weight was increased in either awamori or canola groups. Although plasma triglyceride and cholesterol were decreased by feeding A. awamori or canola seed, fat content in the breast muscle were increased, accompanied by decrease in saturated fatty acids and increase in unsaturated fatty acids. Moreover, decreased thiobarbituric acid reactive substance and increased α‐tocopherol content in the breast muscle was observed in all experimental groups. In conclusion, these results suggested that feeding canola seed and A. awamori might improve growth performance, and modified muscle fatty acid profile and α‐tocopherol content, suggesting that they may improve meat quality.     

Effects of different forms and origins of oilseeds on dynamics of ruminal biohydrogenation of long‐chain fatty acids in vitro

Dietary unsaturated fatty acids (FA) are intensively hydrogenated in the rumen, resulting in reduced amount of poly‐unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and accumulation of several biohydrogenation (BH) products. In this study, BH of PUFA originating from different oilseeds (linseed, soya beans, sunflower seed and rapeseed) present in crushed oilseeds or their free oils were assessed in vitro. The assay substrates were incubated in buffered rumen fluid for 0, 6, 12 and 24 h. After incubation, the FA pattern of the incubated samples was analysed using gas chromatography. Biohydrogenation is defined as disappearance of double bonds (DB) calculated from the contents of unsaturated FA. After 24‐h incubation, the DB contents of all oilseeds were reduced (p < 0.001) by 40–60%. The reduction was higher (p < 0.001) for the crushed form compared with the oil form. In addition, linseed and sunflower seed known as oilseeds with high contents of linolenic acid C18:3 c9,12,15 (LNA) and linoleic acid C18:2 c9,12 (LA), respectively, showed a higher (p < 0.001) accumulation of the BH intermediates conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, isomer C18:2 c9t11) and vaccenic acid (C18:1 t11) for the crushed form, when compared with the oil. These results suggest an inherent effect of the physical form of the assay oilseeds on in vitro BH. Changes in FA pattern during BH in vitro can be attributed to both source and physical form of the assay oilseeds. However, further investigations are warranted to ensure whether the observed in vitro effects on ruminal BH can be confirmed in vivo.     

PEG与低温对法国百里香种子萌发的影响

以法国百里香(Thymus vulgaris)为材料,研究了PEG模拟干旱胁迫和低温对种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响,旨在探索进口百里香种子播种育苗的适宜条件。结果表明,温度、干旱及其互作对法国百里香种子萌发和幼苗生长均有显著影响。0~10%PEG-6000水分条件下,8~24℃下法国百里香种子均能良好萌发,其中在10~12℃时发芽率最高,达79.3%,显著高于其余各处理(P0.05)。当PEG-6000达15%时显著抑制其萌发,至30%PEG-6000时仅在22~24℃下少量萌发。萌发后,当温度为22~24℃,根长、茎长均显著高于其他处理。种子和幼苗生长均表现出对PEG模拟干旱胁迫和低温不同的响应。

不同种类油茶籽油的品质分析与比较

为了了解不同加工工艺、不同贮藏时间对油茶籽油品质的影响,进而为日后生产上合理选择与控制加工工艺、消费时有效选择与使用油茶籽油提供理论与技术方面的依据,以3种油茶籽油——压榨毛油、浸出毛油、精炼成品油为原料,对其主要理化指标、脂肪酸组成与含量以及不同年份的变化情况进行了分析与比较。结果表明:这3种油在酸价、碘值、皂化值、过氧化值之间均存在极显著差异,在折光指数之间存在着显著差异。这3种油的脂肪酸组成及相对含量基本一致,均以油酸为主,含量都在74%以上;其次是棕榈酸,含量在13%~14%之间;再者就是亚油酸,含量约在7%~9%之间。三者的不饱和脂肪酸含量均超过84%,其中精炼成品油最高,压榨毛油次之,浸出毛油最低;单不饱和脂肪酸含量以压榨毛油最高,达76.967%,其次是精炼成品油,含76.646%,浸出毛油最低,为75.066%;多不饱和脂肪酸含量以浸出毛油最高,达9.300%,其次是精炼成品油,含8.000%,最低的是压榨毛油,为7.433%。不同年份生产的油茶籽压榨毛油,在脂肪酸相对含量上会发生一定的变化,从而对油的品质与贮藏稳定性产生一定的影响。
