This study aimed to investigate the effects of ruminal infusion of garlic oil (GO) on fermentation dynamics, fatty acid (FA) profile, and abundance of bacteria involved in biohydrogenation in the rumen. Six wethers fitted with ruminal fistula were assigned to two groups for cross-over design with a 14-d interval. Each 30-d experimental period consisted of a 27-d adaptation and a 3-d sample collection. Goats were fed a basal diet without (control) or with GO ruminal infusion (0.8 g/d). Ruminal contents collected before (0 h) and at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 h after morning feeding were used for fermentation analysis, and 0 h samples were further used for FA determination and DNA extraction. Garlic oil had no influence on dry matter intakes of concentrate and hay. During ruminal fermentation, GO had no effects on total VFA concentration and individual VFA molar proportions, whereas GO increased the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and microbial crude protein (p<0.05). Compared with control, GO group took a longer time for total VFA concentration and propionate molar proportion to reach their respective maxima after morning feeding. The ratio of acetate to propionate in control reduced sharply after morning feeding, whereas it remained relatively stable in GO group. Fatty acid analysis showed that GO reduced saturated FA proportion (p<0.05), while increasing the proportions of C18, t11-18:1 (TVA), c9,t11-conjugated linoleic acid (c9,t11-CLA), t10,c12-CLA, and polyunsaturated FA (p<0.05). The values of TVA/(c9,t11-CLA+TVA) and C18:0/(TVA+C18:0) were reduced by GO (p<0.05). Real-time PCR showed that GO tended to reduce Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus abundance (p = 0.058), whereas GO had no effect on total abundance of the Butyrivibrio group bacteria. A low correlation was found between B. proteoclasticus abundance and C18:0/(TVA+C18:0) (p = 0.910). The changes of fermentation over time suggested a role of GO in delaying the fermentation process and maintaining a relatively modest change of ruminal environment. The inhibitory effects of GO on the final step of biohydrogenation may be related to its antibacterial activity against B. proteoclasticus and other unknown bacteria involved.

Objective: The current study compared the effects of dietary levels of two phase stoned olive cake (OC) in form of silage (OCS) on milk production and quality of Saanen goats. Methods: The OCS included in total mixed ration (TMR) at dry matter proportions of 0.0 (OC0), 0.10 (OC10), and 0.20 (OC20). The TMR were fed to a total of 18 goats in a completely randomized design for a period of 5 weeks. Results: Dietary treatments had no effect on the milk yield of Saanen goats, but the daily milk fat production was greater (p<0.05) at feeding OC20. The total phenolic (TP) compounds contents increased (p<0.01) in each increment of OCS in TMR and this was also reflected in the TP contents of milk. The C8:0, C10:0, C12:0, and C14:0 saturated fatty acids (FAs) in milk fat decreased (p<0.01) with increasing dietary level of OCS, but the decrease (p<0.001) in C16:0 and the increase (p<0.01) in C18:0 in milk fat occurred similarly at each inclusion level of OCS. Only OC20 reduced (p<0.05) the total saturated FA, yet the reduction (p<0.01) in n6/n3 ratio and atherogenicity index occurred in both OC10 and OC20. Conclusion: Two phase stoned OCS increases milk quality not only through modifying the milk FA composition, but also by increasing the milk TP content. These favorable changes in milk quality are closely associated with the dietary level of OCS.

Currently, there is a growing interest among consumers in selecting healthier meat with a greater proportion of essential fatty acids (FA). This experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of different ratios of dietary n-6:n-3 on growth performance, FA profile of longissimus dorsi (LD), relative gene expression of cytokines, meat quality, and blood parameters in finishing pigs. A total of 108 finishing pigs was randomly allotted to three treatments including a control (basal diet) and low ratios (4:1 and 2:1) of n-6:n-3. The 4:1 and 2:1 diets decreased the overall stearic acid in LD. There were reductions in the content of stearic acid, palmitoleic acid, total saturated acid, and n-6:n-3 ratio of LD in pigs fed 4:1 and 2:1 diet compared with the control diet. The 4:1 and 2:1 diets increased the concentration of α-Linolenic acid and polyunsaturated FA in the LD of pigs. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase enzyme gene was down-regulated in pigs fed 2:1 diet compared with finishing pigs fed the control or 4:1 diets. The relative expression of hormone-sensitive lipase was increased in pigs fed 2:1 and 4:1 ratio diets. Lower total cholesterol of plasma was observed in finishing pigs fed 2:1 and 4:1 diets. The cooking loss ratio of meat was lower in pigs fed the 2:1 and 4:1 diets compared with the control diet. Pigs fed the 4:1 and 2:1 diets had greater final body weight. In conclusion, the 2:1 and 4:1 diets have the potential to increase the meat quality and growth performance of pigs.

본 연구는 서울지역에 거주하는 건강한 성인 남녀(남자 23명, 여자 10명) 33명을 대상으로 trans 지방 3.75 g을 첨가 한 쌀 빵, 콩 빵과 밀 빵의 섭취가 식후 혈장에서의 지방산과 지질흡수에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위하여 실시하였다. 시험군은 각 군 당 11명씩 3군으로 분류하였다. 쌀 빵은 밀가루 40 g과 쌀가루 40 g에 trans 지방 3.75 g을, 콩 빵은 콩가루 30 g과 밀가루 50 g에 trans 지방 3.75 g을 첨가하였고, 밀빵은 밀가루 80 g에 trans 지방 3.75 g을 첨가하여 식빵 형태로 각각 조제하였다. 대상자들은 8시간 공복 후 각각의 빵을 섭취하고 0, 1, 2, 3, 4시간 후 채혈하였고, 이는 혈중 지방산과 trans 지방산의 농도 및 지질 수준 분석에 이용되었다. 포화지방산인 C16:0과 C18:0의 수준은 밀 빵을 섭취한 군에서는 시간의 경과에 따라 유의적인 차이를 보였으나 콩 빵과 쌀 빵을 섭취한 군에서는 섭취 후 유사한 수준이었다. C16:0은 콩 빵과 밀 빵을 섭취한 군에서는 섭취 1시간 후에 peak에도달하였으나 시간이 경과함에 감소하는 경향을 보여 섭취4시간 후 밀 빵 군에서는 변화량은 섭취 전의 수준과 유사하였으나 콩 빵 군에서는 섭취하기 전보다도 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. C18:0은 섭취 1시간 후 콩 빵과 쌀 빵을 섭취한군이 밀 빵을 섭취한 군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였으나 콩 빵과 쌀 빵 군 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. Trans 지방산인 C18:1t과 18:2t는 세 군 모두에서는 섭취 2시간 후 가장 높은 수준을 보였으며 섭취 4시간 후에는 콩 빵 섭취한 군에서의 C18:1t의 혈중 농도가 가장 낮았다. C18:1c은 섭취 4시간 후 콩 빵 군에서 가장 낮았고 쌀 빵 군에서 가장 높았다. 또한 콩 빵의 섭취는 TG의 증가를 효과적으로 억제하였다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 콩 빵의 섭취는 밀 빵을 섭취했을 때보다 혈중 trans 지방산을 비롯한 포화지방산 농도와 TG의 수준을 저하하였으며 이것은 콩에 함유된 식이섬유와 생리활성물질들이 지방산과 지방의 체내 흡수율을 저하시키거나 흡수속도를 느리게 하는 때문으로 사료된다. 따라서 trans 지방산을 비롯한 포화지방산과 TG의 체내 농도를 저하시키기 위해서는 밀 빵보다 콩 빵의 형태로 섭취하는 것이 유익할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary integration with extruded linseed (EL) on fatty acid (FA) and aromatic profile of goat cheese after 60 (T₆₀) days of ripening. Methods: Thirty goats were divided in two groups. The control group (CG) was fed with conventional diet, whereas the experimental group (EL+) was fed with conventional diet supplemented with 10% of EL. Milk samples were collected on 30 and 60 days of trial to determinate chemical-nutritional composition and FA profile. At the end of experiment, six cheese-making sessions (3 for each group) were carried out using a pooled milk sample obtained from the 15 goats of each group. At 60 days of ripening, cheeses were analyzed for chemical-nutritional composition, FA and aromatic profile. Results: An increase in the milk production, protein, fat and lactose were evidenced in the EL+ goats. Conversely, a reduction of somatic cells was observed in the EL+ compared with the CG. However, no variation was observed for urea and casein levels content in milk samples, and no changes in protein and lipid content were found for cheeses in the two experimental groups. Dietary supplementation with EL modified the FA profile of milk. There was a decrease in saturated FAs and an increase in polyunsaturated FAs. Chemical composition of T₆₀ cheese did not differ between the two groups but a different FA profile was observed. In T₆₀ cheese obtained from EL+ milk, an increase in short-chain FA and a decrease in medium and long-chain FA were observed. The EL diet led to cheeses with butanoic acid 2 times higher compared to CG cheeses. Moreover, a greater presence of aldehyde compounds and alcohols were observed in the cheeses of experimental group. Conclusion: The present study pointed out that EL supplementation may improve the chemical and physical qualities of goat milk and cheeses.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to establish a mother and child cohort in the Chinese population, and investigate human breastmilk (HBM) composition and its relationship with maternal body mass index (BMI) and infant growth during the first 3 mon of life. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 101 Chinese mother and infant pairs were included in this prospective cohort. Alterations in the milk macronutrients of Chinese mothers at 1 mon (T1), 2 mon (T2), and 3 mon (T3) lactation were analyzed. HBM fatty acid (FA) profiles were measured by gas chromatography (GC), and HBM proteomic profiling was achieved by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). RESULTS: During the first 3 mon of lactation (P < 0.05), significant decreases were determined in the levels of total energy, fat, protein, and osteopontin (OPN), as well as ratios of long-chain saturated FA (including C16:0, C22:0 and C24:0), monounsaturated FA (including C16:1), and n-6 poly unsaturated FA (PUFA) (including C20:3n-6 and C20:4n-6, and n-6/n-3). Conversely, butyrate, C6:0 and n-3 PUFA C18:3n-3 (α-linolenic acid, ALA) were significantly increased during the first 3 mon (P < 0.05). HBM proteomic analyses distinguished compositional protein differences over time (P = 0.001). Personalized motherinfant analyses demonstrated that HBM from high BMI mothers presented increased total energy, fat, protein and OPN, and increased content of n-6 PUFA (including C18:3n-6, C20:3n-6 and n-6/n-3 ratio) as compared with low BMI mothers (P < 0.05). Furthermore, BMI of the mothers positively correlated with the head circumference (HC) of infants as well as the specific n-6 PUFA C20:3n-6 over the 3 time points examined. Infant HC was negatively associated with C18:0. CONCLUSION: This study provides additional evidence to the Chinese HBM database, and further knowledge of FA function. It also helps to establish future maternal strategies that support the healthy growth and development of Chinese infants.

The purpose of this study was to compare the consciousness of health status and nutrient intake of farmers in Korea. Eight hundred were surveyed by rural leaders of Rural Development Administration(RDA), composed of 35.1 % male and 64.9% female. Data collection included personal & family situation by Interview method for influencial factors of health status. Food intake was determined by semiquantitative food frequency method with 65 kinds of foods. 32.5% of the subjects were elementary school graduates, younger age groups and males had higher levels of education. Mean family numbers was 4.2 persons. In the concept of disease prevalence, gender difference existed. Liver and heart ailments were frequent in males and waist pain and urinary complaints in females, and schoulder pain and nervesness were frequently prevalent to all farmers. The energy intake of farmers was 2000Kca1/day, 19:16:65 of PFC(protein, fat, and carbohydrate) ratio was approached at recommended composition of energy. But calcium and iron were lower than Korean Recommended Dietary Allowences(KRDA), Vitamin A, thiamin, niacin, and vitamin C were over of KRDA, but riboflavin, pyridoxin, and vitamin I were lower than KRDA. The nutrient intakes of poor health groups were significantly lower than those of healthy. In fatty acid composition, monounsaturated fatty acids(FA) intake was higher than that of saturated FA. The CMI (Cornell Medical Index) and Farmers' syndrome were significantly correlated with personal factors, such as height, number in family, education level, and working level. But the correlation of health status with nutrient intakes were only weakly significant. Depending on the regression analysis, Farmers' syndrome explanation about nutrient intake was low(R2 was only 0.01 more or less), but some nutrients (energy, niacin, pyridoxine, vitamin E, and lipids) could explain this significantly. It was concluded that body complaints of farmers could ameliorate with good nutrition.

Objective: This study determined the effects of dietary treatments and castration on meat quality, fatty acids (FAs) profiles, and volatile compounds in Korean native black goats (KNBG, Capra hircus coreanae), including the relationship between the population of rumen microbiomes and meat FA profiles. Methods: Twenty-four KNBG (48.6±1.4 kg) were randomly allocated to one of four treatments arranged into a 2×2 factorial structure. The factors were dietary forage to concentrate ratio (high forage [HF, 80:20] and low forage [LF, 20:80]), and a castration treatment (castration [CA] vs non-castration [NCA]). Results: Among meat quality traits, the CA group exhibited a higher percentage of crude fat and water holding capacity (p<0.05). The profiles of the saturated fatty acid (SFA) in meat sample derived from CA KNBG showed a significantly lower percentage compared to NCA individuals, due to the lower proportion of C14:0 and C18:0. Feeding a high-forage diet to KNBG increased the formation of C18:1n7, C18:3n3, C20:1n9, C22:4n6 in meat, and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) profiles (p<0.05). Consequently, the n6:n3 ratio declined (p<0.05). There was an interaction between dietary treatment and castration for formation of C20:5n3 (p<0.05), while C18:1n9, C22:6n3, monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and the MUFA:SFA ratio were influenced by both diet and castration (p<0.05). Nine volatile compounds were identified and were strongly influenced by both dietary treatments, castration (p<0.05), and their interaction. In addition, principal component analysis (PCA) revealed distinctly different odor patterns in the NCA goats fed LF diets. Spearman correlation analysis showed a high correlation between rumen bacteria and meat PUFAs. Conclusion: These results suggest the essential effects of the rumen microbial population for the synthesis of meat FAs and volatile compounds in KNBG meat, where dietary intake and castration also contribute substantially.

식물성유 첨가시 배양시간에 따른 지방산염의 형성 정도와 발효성상 및 NDF 소실율에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 in vitro 시험을 실시 하였다. 기질은 알팔파 건초로 하고 1) oil 무첨가구, 2) 대두유 10%첨가구 및 3) 옥수수유 10%첨가구로 하였으며, oil 첨가 수준은 기질중량 건물 기준으로 첨가하였다. 발효성상 및 NDF 소실율을 위한 시험에서는 120ml serum bottle을 사용하여 3반복 실시하여 pH, $NH_3-N$, VFA농도 및 건물과 NDF 소실율을 분석하엿다. 지방산 분획을 위한 시험에서는 60ml serum bottle을 사용하요 3반복 실시하여 NEFA, EFA 및 FAS의 형성 정도를 분석하였다. pH는 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 유읭적으로 감소하였고, $NH_3-N$ 농도는 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.0001). 건물 및 NDF 소실율은 처리구, 배양시간 및 oil간 유의하게 차이를 보여주었다(P<0.05). 총 휘발성 지방산 농도는 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.0001). Acetate는 시험구 모두 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였고(P<0.0001), 대조구에 비해 oil 첨가구가 유의적으로 낮아졌다(P<0.05). Propionate는 시험구 모두 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였지만(P<0.0001), 처리구 및 oil간 효과는 없었다. Oil 첨가구에서 A/P비율이 유의하게 낮아졌다(P<0.05). EFA는 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 유의하게 감소하였고(P<0.0001), NEFA는 EFA의 가수분해로 인하여 증가하였다. 배양시간 48시간에서는 NEFA가 양이온과 결합하여 FAS의 형성 비율이 유의적으로 증가하였다(P<0.0001). 특히 $C_{18:0)$의 FAS 형성은 배양시간 48시간에서 대두유 및 옥수수유 첨가구에서 각각 12.53 및 15.17mg/g DM으로 0시간에 비해 각각 27.5 및 32.5배 증가하였다(P<0.0001). 배양시간이 증가할수록 칼슘을 포함한 양이온 함량이 높은 알팔파가 분해되면서 양이온이 용해되어 유리된 지방산과 결합하여 지방산염을 형성하게 된다. 이때 불포화지방산보다는 포화지방산이 양이온과 반응하여 지방산염을 형성하기 쉽다. 또한 $C_{16:0}$ 이상의 장쇄지방산이 주로 지방산염을 형성하였다. 이러한 특성 때문에 배양액내에 유리된 지방산이 염을 형성하기 쉽고 oil 첨가시 발생하는 발효성상 및 NDF소실율에 미치는 부의 영향을 최소화 한 것으로 사료된다.

This study aimed to determine the effect of dietary supplementation with Acremonium terricola culture (ATC) on the quality, conventional characteristics, and flavor substances of Hortobágy goose meat. A total of 720 one-day-old goslings were divided into four dietary treatments, each consisting of six cages of 30 goslings. The dietary conditions consisted of the control group and three treatment groups supplemented with 3, 5, or 7 g/kg ATC. In male geese, supplementation with 3 g/kg ATC elevated the crude ash (CA) content of the thigh muscle compared to the control group, and the CA content of the pectoralis major was significantly elevated when geese were supplemented with 5 g/kg ATC (p < 0.05). In females, compared with the control group, supplementation with 7 g/kg ATC enhanced the crude protein (CP) content of the pectoralis major. Supplementation with 7 g/kg ATC also increased the crude fat (CF) content of the pectoralis major in females as well as in both sexes; moreover, this supplementation dose increased the inosinic acid content of the thigh muscle in males and in both sexes. In contrast, supplementation with 5 g/kg ATC decreased the pH of the thigh muscle at 12 h postmortem (p < 0.01). No significant changes in meat color, water loss rate, shear force, moisture content or amino acid (AA) levels were observed after ATC supplementation (p > 0.05). Levels of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) in the pectoralis major and levels of SFAs, monounsaturated FAs (MUFAs), and PUFAs in the thigh muscle were not affected by the supplementation. Overall, ATC supplementation had positive effects on the pH, and CA, CP, CF, inosinic acid contents as well as on the FA composition of gosling meat. The optimal level of ATC supplementation was 7 g/kg in goslings from 1 to 70 days of age.
