Influence of dietary fish meal on egg fatty acid composition.

TLDR
Changes in the fatty acid composition of egg-yolk fat of hens fed diets with increasing fish meal content are studied by total fatty acid analysis and show a fatty acid pattern similar to those of the diets themselves.
Abstract
Changes in the fatty acid composition of egg-yolk fat of hens fed diets with increasing fish meal content are studied by total fatty acid analysis. The fatty acid composition of the major lipid fractions in egg-yolk fat after feeding a high-level fish meal diet was determined by a combination of thin layer chromatography (t.l.c.) and gas-liquid chromatography (g.l.c.) The changes produced show a fatty acid pattern similar to those of the diets themselves. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are deposited preferentially in the phospholipids, reaching the highest concentration in cephalin and lecithin.

Manipulation of the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid composition of avian eggs and meat

TL;DR: By using only high quality materials, limiting the amount of fish oil or fishmeal within the diet and optimising the provision of supplemental dietary antioxidants, the production of eggs and meat with increased n-3 polyunsaturates is practicable.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Studies on the Composition of Egg Lipida

TL;DR: In this paper, the fractionation and analysis of egg lipid by several new techniques employing thin-layer chromatography was carried out, and the fatty acid composition of the major lipid classes and subfractions thereof was determined by a combination of alkali-isomerization and gas liquid chromatography.
