“…Omega-9 FA are synthesized endogenously in the human body but does not provide body’s full requirements; hence they are considered partially essential fatty acids. Studies indicate the beneficial effects of MUFA’s for CVD to be consistent with PUFAs, namely, for the relief systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), improvement of high LDLc, and triglycerides (TAG) levels [ 122 ]. Furthermore, inclusion of OA (omega-9) in a diet—together with other nutrients known to be cardioprotective such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), folic acid, and vitamins A, B-6, D, and E—enhanced clinical values while reducing a variety of risk factors in men with peripheric vascular disease and intermittent claudication (PVD-IC), announcing itself as new evidence of the potential nutraceutical role for these compounds in the reduction of PVD-IC symptoms [ 123 ].…”

Olea europaea L. folium merits further exploration of the potential of its substrates for therapeutic supplements. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted on samples of Madural, Verdeal, and Cobrançosa elementary leaves and leaf sprouts (mamões) collected in the region of Valpaços, Portugal. Organic analysis assessed the moisture content, total carbohydrates, ash, protein, and fat contents, total phenolic content (TPC), vitamin E, and fatty acid (FA) profiles. Moisture content was determined through infrared hygrometry and TPC was determined by a spectrophotometric method. Concerning organic analysis, all leaf samples showed similar moisture content, though Cobrançosa’s leaf sprouts and Verdeal’s elementary leaves had slightly lower contents. Meanwhile, these cultivars also showed a higher TPC, α-tocopherol isomer, and fatty acid composition (FAC). FAC in all samples exhibited higher contents of PUFA and SFA than MUFA, with a predominance of linolenic and palmitic acids. Organic analyses of Cobrançosa’s leaf sprouts and Verdeal’s elementary leaf extracts allow for the prediction of adequate physiological properties regarding neuroinflammatory, neurobehavioral, metabolic, cardiovascular, osteo-degenerative, anti-ageing, pulmonary, and immunological defense disorders. These physiological changes observed in our preliminary in silico studies suggest an excellent nutraceutical, which should be borne in mind during severe pandemic situations.

“…Monounsaturated fat (MUFA) found in plant and animal sources, present several health benefits, including the prevention of metabolic syndrome and its complications (Sheashea M et al, 2021). As our study shows that MUFA (%) from in nature foods was lower in group with the highest BMI, it is strongly suggested that dietary intervention adding MUFA can lead to anti-inflammatory effects and can decrease chronic inflammation ameliorating the general metabolic profile (Ravaut G et al, 2020).…”

Background: Obesity is a complex disease that has an epidemic character affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide. Excessive accumulation of fat is associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods. This type of food provides large amounts of free sugars and saturated fats, which contribute to a high energy intake. It is well established that the main cause of obesity involves regulation between calories consumed and expended, however, this concept may be incomplete. Several methods can be explored to reduce body weight, however, for a healthy weight loss process, it is important to direct the individual to a balanced diet, with control of quantity, correct proportions of macronutrients, variety and combinations of different foods and nutrients. Objective: The aim of the study was to analyse the diet quality according to the food production process considering the different obesity degree by body mass index in a women sample. Methods: 139 women with obesity aged between 20 and 45 years old were included in this observational, cross-sectional study. Body composition and the three-day food record were analyzed. Results: The consumption of carboydrates (%), lipides (%) and monounsaturated fat (%) from ultra-processed foods were higher in the group with the highest BMI. However monounsaturated fat (%) from in nature foods was higher in the group with the lowest BMI. In addition, a positive association between carbohydrates (from ultra-processed foods) and waist circumference was observed. Conclusion: This investigation can stimulate public health programs to reinforce guidelines regarding the type of food procedure, giving priority to take care of the population's health by improving nutritional quality, preventing, and treating obesity in a multidisciplinary way.

“…Also, sweet grass increases the concentration of MUFA in milk because fresh grass increases milk fatty acids that are ruminal biohydrogenation intermediates (C18:1, C18:2, C18:3). It has been demonstrated that MUFA can improve glycemic control and prevent the development of metabolic syndrome and its complications (Sheashea et al ., 2021). Similar results are shown in the intervention with Acacia farmesiana , dried grape pomace, and MMG that increased the long-chain fatty acids, like linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids.…”

Milk and dairy products have great importance in human nutrition related to the presence of different nutrients, including protein, fatty acid profile and bioactive compounds. Dietary supplementation with foods containing these types of compounds may influence the chemical composition of milk and dairy products and hence, potentially, the consumer. Our objective was to summarize the evidence of the effect of supplementation with antioxidants and phenolic compounds in the diets of dairy animals and their effects on milk and dairy products. We conducted a systematic search in the MEDLINE/PubMed database for studies published up until July 2022 that reported on supplementation with antioxidants and phenolic compounds in diets that included plants, herbs, seeds, grains and isolated bioactive compounds of dairy animals such as cows, sheep and goats and their effects on milk and dairy products. Of the 94 studies identified in the search, only 15 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The review revealed that supplementation with false flax cake, sweet grass, Acacia farnesiana, mushroom myceliated grains and sweet grass promoted an effect on the milk lipid profile, whereas supplementation with dried grape pomace and tannin extract promoted an effect on the milk and cheese lipid profiles. In six studies, the addition of Acacia farnesiana, hesperidin or naringin, durum wheat bran, mushroom myceliated grains, dried grape pomace and olive leaves increased the antioxidant activity of milk. In conclusion, supplementation with bioactive compounds had a positive impact which ranged from an increase in antioxidant capacity to a decrease in oxidative biomarkers such as malondialdehyde.
