Summary: This study evaluated the effects of essential fatty acid (EFA) intake on sow reproductive performance, piglet growth and survivability, and colostrum and milk composition. The results showed that high EFA intake improved piglet weaning weights and litter average daily gain, but had no effect on piglet survivability or subsequent sow performance.

Summary: Nowadays, there is a growing interest in analyzing the authenticity of organic milk (OM) due to frequent adulteration. This study used fatty acid profiles and chemometric approaches to verify the authenticity of OM at farm and retail levels. The results showed that OM has a distinct and healthier fatty acid profile. Models based on fatty acid analysis achieved high accuracy in verifying the authenticity of raw and retail milk. This study provides a reliable approach to prevent fraud in the organic dairy industry.

Summary: The study revealed that spiders at the lake riparian area obtained lipids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from emergent aquatic and terrestrial insects, and the transfer of these nutrients varied depending on the distance of the spiders from the shoreline. Spiders in different habitats showed differences in the dietary sources and metabolic pathways used to fulfill their EPA demand, indicating the flexibility of spiders in adapting to their habitat and dietary availability.

Summary: Stable isotopes combined with chemometrics methods can distinguish fresh milk from reconstituted milk. Nitrogen stable isotopes are also useful for detecting extraneous nitrogen additives in milk.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on sensitizing and triggering allergic reactions in mice. The results demonstrate that PUFAs, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), can induce cross-linking and conformational changes in alpha-lactalbumin (BLA) and beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), promoting allergic reactions in BALB/c mice by disrupting the Th1/Th2 balance and enhancing Th2 immune response.

Summary: The demand for organic food products has increased in recent years due to consumer perception of them being healthier, safer, and eco-friendlier, which has led to the development of this industry. However, the higher price of organic products increases the risk of fraud, necessitating the establishment of control mechanisms for authentication. Despite numerous analytical attempts, the authentication of organic foodstuffs remains a challenge that requires further research.

Summary: Interest in organic cows' milk has increased due to its perceived superior nutritional quality and improved sustainability and animal welfare. This study assessed the impact of organic vs. conventional management on milk yield, composition, and fatty acid profile. The results showed that conventional farms had higher milk yields and contents of protein, fat, and other components, but organic farms produced more milk and fat per kg of offered feed. Organic milk had higher concentrations of certain beneficial fatty acids, while conventional milk had higher concentrations of monounsaturated fatty acids. Considering the small differences in fatty acid profiles, increasing pasture intake can benefit farm sustainability without negatively impacting consumer nutrition and health.

Summary: The study confirmed the trophic connection between farmed fish in a commercial nearshore fish farm and sea cucumbers in the Mediterranean Sea, and revealed the potential of sea cucumbers to utilize aquaculture organic waste through stable isotope and fatty acid analysis. Additionally, the composition of sea cucumber tissues differed between the IMTA and reference locations in the vicinity of fish cages.

Summary: By characterizing the chemical profiles of flaxseed samples using lipids/fatty acids, stable isotopes, and antioxidant capacity, combined with principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, a satisfactory discrimination rate of 98.6% was achieved in tracing the geographic origin of flaxseed from five regions in northern China.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the possibility of using stable isotope composition and elemental fingerprints to determine the agroclimatic origin of milk produced in different agroclimatic zones of Sri Lanka. Significant variations were observed in stable isotope ratios and elemental fingerprints of milk samples obtained from different agroclimatic zones. Linear discriminant analysis successfully differentiated cow milk produced from four agroclimatic zones based on stable isotope ratios, and the inclusion of elemental ratios enhanced the discriminating ability.

Summary: The study compared the fatty acid profiles of halophyte species cultured in aquaponics integrated with an IMTA system with those of wild conspecifics, revealing that aquaponically cultured plants had significantly higher omega-3 fatty acids in edible parts, particularly during summer, indicating good nutritional quality.

Summary: The study suggests that organic matter sources in forested headwater streams mainly come from biofilm, bryophytes, and fine benthic detrital particles, rather than leaf litter. Additionally, it highlights the significant contribution of autochthonous organic matter to the development of stream macroinvertebrates, especially in providing long-chain PUFAs.

Summary: The use of ground flaxseed in cat food can modulate serum fatty acid concentrations and serve as a bioavailable source of alpha-linolenic acid, without affecting stool quality and nutrient digestibility.

Summary: The study shows that seaweed can provide bioactive compounds with anti-parasitic activity, with Saccharina latissima and Laminaria digitata showing particularly high anti-parasitic activity. Fatty acids may play an important role in controlling intestinal helminth infections.

Summary: This study evaluated the ability to trace milks sourced from sheep with different grazing access times using milk biomarkers. The results showed that milk biomarkers could accurately differentiate milk from sheep with varying grazing times and estimate the percentage of herbage in their diet. These findings are valuable for assessing the benefits of grazing and the contribution of herbage to sheep diet.
