Effects of stereospecific positioning of fatty acids in triacylglycerol structures in native and randomized fats: a review of their nutritional implications

Abstract:

Abstract

Most studies on lipid lowering diets have focused on the total content of saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. However, the distribution of these fatty acids on the triacylglycerol (TAG) molecule and the molecular TAG species generated by this stereospecificity are characteristic for various native dietary TAGs. Fat randomization or interesterification is a process involving the positional redistribution of fatty acids, which leads to the generation of new TAG molecula… Show more

“…Furthermore, Karupaiah and Sundram postulated different triacylglycerols absorbability between those of plant oils and beef tallow in rat intestines [18]. The serum total cholesterol values from the control rats in this study were similar to that of the control (non-castrated) rats used by Ima-Nirwana et al which was kept and fed under similar Malaysian conditions [19].…”

“…These peak widths were 15.7 and 5.1 °C respectively, and increased to 33.0 and 9.9 °C in SL1 after interesterification. Natural stereospecificity of fatty acids in the triacylglycerols of the oils constituting BL1 could be responsible for a relatively limited range of TAG types, which became more diversified after randomization of fatty acids, represented by a wider peak observed in SL1 (Hunter, 2001;Karupaiah;Sundram, 2007). The differences between BL1 and SL1 melting curves observed in Figure 3(b) corroborate the assertion that interesterification indeed occurred.…”

“…The fatty acid distribution among the three positions of triacylglycerols is characteristic for native oils and fats. Fats and oils derived from vegetable sources contain unsaturated fatty acids in the sn-2 position and saturated fatty acids in the sn-1 and sn-3 positions (Hunter, 2001;Karupaiah,Sundram, 2007).…”

“…Seed oils exhibit PUFA mostly esterified at sn-2 position. In vegetable oils, saturated FA occurs primarily at sn-1 position (Karupaiah and Sundram, 2007). The TAG structure of natural fats and oils and their nutritional properties can be modified either by use of lipases as catalysts or by chemical modifications (Linderborg and Kallio, 2005).…”
