Researchers at the Wake Forest Center for Botanical Lipids, in Winston Salem, North Carolina have discovered undesirable levels of unhealthy omega-6 fatty acids instead of omega-3 fatty acids in tilapia using a GC method.
Researchers at the Wake Forest Center for Botanical Lipids, in Winston Salem, North Carolina have discovered undesirable levels of unhealthy omega-6 fatty acids instead of omega-3 fatty acids in tilapia using a GC method. The GC technique was utilised by researchers to analyse the fatty acid composition of 30 commonly consumed farmed and wild fish. The analysis showed that farm-raised Tilapia and Catfish had relatively poor concentrations of "good" omega-3 fatty acids compared to the "bad" omega-6 fatty acids. Senior study author Dr. Floyd H. Chilton, director of the Wake Forest Center, said that eating the right type of fish or taking dietary fish oil was very important to cure heart disease.
Next Generation Peak Fitting for Separations
July 9th 2024Separation scientists frequently encounter critical pairs that are difficult to separate in a complex mixture. To save time and expensive solvents, an effective alternative to conventional screening protocols or mathematical peak width reduction is called iterative curve fitting.
