Halimodendrin I, a new acylated triterpene glycoside from Halimodendron halodendron (Fabaceae)

Halimodendrin I, a new acylated triterpene glycoside (1), was isolated and chemically characterized as 3β-O-palmitoyl-28-[3′-palmitoyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-olean-12-en-28-oic acid from the aerial part of Halimodendron halodendron (Fabaceae) by IR, 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS and LR-ESI-MS experiments. In addition, seven known compounds were isolated and identified as: palmitic acid, glycerol-2-linoleneate, glycerol-1,3-dilinoleneate, ferulic acid, 3-O-methylquercetin, β-sitosterol, and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside. Nine fatty acids were identified and quantified in the saponifiable matter of the hexane extract. These fatty acids are: myristic, n-pentadecanoic, palmitoleic, palmitic, linoleic, oleic, stearic, arachidic, and behenic acids. The volatile oil was isolated by hydrodistillation (0.013%, w/w) with unpleasant smell. Twenty-seven components were identified in the oil by GC/MS.     

Prediction of fat quality in pig carcasses by near-infrared spectroscopy

This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (NIRS) technology for prediction of the chemical composition (moisture content and fatty acid composition) of fat from fast-growing, lean slaughter pig samples coming from breeding programmes. NIRS method I: a total of 77 samples of intact subcutaneous fat from pigs were analysed with the FOSS FoodScan NIR spectrophotometer (850 to 1050 nm) and then used to predict the moisture content by using partial least squares (PLS) regression methods. The best equation obtained has a coefficient of determination for cross-validation (CV; R(2)(cv)) and a root mean square error of a CV (RMSECV) of 0.88 and 1.18%, respectively. The equation was further validated with (n = 15) providing values of 0.83 and 0.42% for the coefficient of determination for validation (R(2)(val)) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), respectively. NIRS method II: in this case, samples of melted subcutaneous fat were analysed in an FOSS XDS NIR rapid content analyser (400 to 2500 nm). Equations based on modified PLS regression methods showed that NIRS technology could predict the fatty acid groups, the main fatty acids and the iodine value accurately with R(2)(cv), RMSECV, R(2)(val) and RMSEP of 0.98, 0.38%, 0.95 and 0.49%, respectively (saturated fatty acids), 0.94, 0.45%, 0.97 and 0.65%, respectively (monounsaturated fatty acids), 0.97, 0.28%, 0.99 and 0.34%, respectively (polyunsaturated fatty acids), 0.76, 0.61%, 0.84 and 0.87%, respectively (palmitic acid, C16:0), 0.75, 0.16%, 0.89 and 0.10%, respectively (palmitoleic acid, C16:1n-7), 0.93, 0.41%, 0.96 and 0.64%, respectively (steric acid, C18:0), 0.90, 0.51%, 0.94 and 0.44%, respectively (oleic acid, C18:1n-9), 0.97, 0.25%, 0.98 and 0.29% (linoleic acid, C18:2n-6), 0.68, 0.09%, 0.57 and 0.16% (α-linolenic acid, C18:3n-3) and 0.97, 0.57, 0.97 and 1.22, respectively (iodine value, calculated). The magnitude of this error showed quite good accuracy using these rapid methods in prediction of the moisture and fatty acid composition of fat from pigs involved in breeding schemes.     

Effectiveness of mid-infrared spectroscopy to predict fatty acid composition of Brown Swiss bovine milk

Mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR) is used to predict fatty acid (FA) composition of individual milk samples (n=267) of Brown Swiss cows. FAs were analyzed by gas chromatography as a reference method. Samples were scanned (4000 to 900 cm-1) by MIR, and predictive models were developed using modified partial least squares regressions with full cross-validation. The methods using a first derivative or multiplicative scatter corrected plus first derivative resulted, on average, in the best predictions. Coefficients of correlation between measured and predicted C8:0, C10:0, C12:0, C14:0, anteiso-C17:0, c9-C18:1, and medium- and long-chain FA, and saturated, monounsaturated and unsaturated FA ranged from 0.71 to 0.77, suggesting that prediction models can be implemented in milk recording schemes to routinely collect information on FA composition from the whole Brown Swiss population for breeding purposes.     

Effects of dam breed and dietary source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on the growth and carcass characteristics of lambs sourced from hill sheep flocks

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of dietary lipid source on the growth and carcass characteristics of lambs sourced from a range of crossbred hill ewes. Over a 2-year period, 466 lambs representing the progeny of Scottish Blackface (BF × BF), Swaledale (SW) × BF, North Country Cheviot (CH) × BF, Lleyn (LL) × BF and Texel (T) × BF ewes were sourced from six commercial hill flocks and finished on one of four diets: grass pellets (GP), cereal-based concentrate (CC), CC enriched with oilseed rape (CR) and CC enriched with fish oil (CF). Dry matter intake (DMI) was highest (P < 0.001) in lambs offered GP; however, carcass weight gain (CWG) and feed conversion efficiency were higher (P < 0.001) in lambs fed concentrate-based diets. For lambs offered concentrate-based diets, DMI and live weight gain were lower (P < 0.001) for CF than CC or CR. Lambs with T × BF dams achieved a higher (P < 0.05) daily CWG and CWG/kg DMI than BF × BF, SW × BF or LL × BF dams. When lambs were slaughtered at fat score 3, CH × BF, LL × BF and T × BF dams increased carcass weight by 0.8 to 1.4 kg (P < 0.001) and conformation score (CS) by 0.2 to 0.4 units (P < 0.001) compared with BF × BF or SW × BF dams. However, breed effects on carcass conformation were reduced by 50% when lambs were slaughtered at a constant carcass weight. Diets CC and CR increased carcass weight by 0.8 to 1.6 kg (P < 0.001) and CS by 0.1 to 0.3 units (P < 0.001) compared with GP and CF. Both, dam breed and dietary effects on carcass conformation were associated with an increase (P < 0.001) in shoulder width of the lambs. Lambs fed CF and slaughtered at a constant carcass weight had more subcutaneous fat over the Longissumus dorsi (P < 0.05), Iliocostalis thoracis (P < 0.001) and Obliquus internus abdominis (P < 0.001) compared with those fed CC. However, these effects were removed when lambs were slaughtered at a constant fat score. At both endpoints, lambs from T × BF dams contained less (P < 0.05) perinephric and retroperitoneal fat than SW × BF or LL × BF dams fed GP or CC, respectively. The results from this study show that using crossbred ewes sired by CH, LL or T sires will increase carcass weight and improve carcass conformation of lambs sourced from hill flocks. Inclusion of oilseed rape in lamb finishing diets had only minor effects on performance compared with a standard CC but feeding fish oil or GP impacted negatively on lamb growth and carcass quality.
