1. Is omega-3 from algae a good substitute to fish oil – in human nutrition?
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : Polyunsaturated fatty acids have been proven to be important for human health, especially the omega 3 and 6. Humans cannot synthesise these fatty acids by themselves and need therefore to get them from external sources. Omega-6 is found in many different foods, such as flaxseeds, walnuts, and vegetable oils. LÄS MER
2. Algae and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : The human body cannot produce enough amounts of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), on its own, to sustain the biological functions they have. Consuming essential fatty acids is fundamental for well-functioning bodily processes. The essential fatty acids are linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). LÄS MER
3. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid production by microalgae
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Food ScienceSammanfattning : Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are essential to humans and needs to be consumed through the diet instead of production in the body. LC-PUFAs are in this report be categorized into omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The aim of this study was to focus on LC-PUFAs that can be produced by species of microalgae of commercial interests.
