“…Consequently, systematic terminology for FAs is troublesome for common use, and shorter options are widely used. The recommended nomenclature by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry is technically clear and precise, 3 but, for convenience, trivial or historical names are frequently used in scientific papers. O’Keefe 4 have made an exhaustive discussion of FAs and lipids nomenclature and structure.…”

“…So, lipids can be categorized based on their chemical backbone structure (simple or complex), their physical properties at room temperature (liquids as oils and solid as fats), their polarity (polar and neutral lipids), or their essentiality for humans (essential and nonessential). In 2005, Fahy et al 2 proposed a novel definition and a comprehensive system of classification: lipids are small hydrophobic or amphiphilic molecules that may originate entirely or in part through condensations of thioesters and/or isoprene units, a definition that enables cataloguing lipids into eight categories (fatty acids, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterol lipids, prenol lipids, saccharolipids, and polyketides), each containing distinct classes and subclasses of molecules. The proposed lipid classification is compatible with other existing lipid databases and expandable to new categories in the future.…”

“…The nomenclature of the PLFA used in this study is designated by the total number of carbon atoms, the number of double bonds, and the position of the double bond closest to the methyl end ( ω ) of the molecule [ 31 ]. For example, the PLFA 18:2 ω 6c is 18 carbons long, with two double bonds positioned six carbons from the methyl end of PLFA, and exhibit a cis configuration.…”

“…PLFA and PLEL concentrations were quantified on a Hewlett-Packard 6890 GC Series system with a 5973 N Mass Selective Detector (Wilmington, DE, USA). Standard GC analysis for the simultaneous determination of PLFA and PLEL has been described elsewhere [ 31 ]. In contrast, we used a cross-linked methyl silicone fused-silica HP-5MS capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d.…”
