Sentences with phrase «acyl groups»

Carnitine transports long - chain acyl groups from fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix, so that they can be broken down through β - oxidation to acetate to obtain usable energy via the citric acid cycle.

So after having been used for frying, the extra virgin olive oil was richer in omega - 3, omega - 1 acyl groups, linoleic and saturated fats (from the fish) and poorer in oleic, which is the main acyl group in olive oil.

Simultaneously, during the frying process the lipids in the fish fillets were depleted in the acyl groups and minority components present in a greater concentration in the raw fillet than in the original oils, such as, for example, the omega - 3 docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) polyunsaturated groups.

As regards the fat in the fish fillets, its composition also changed during the frying process, and became enriched by the acyl groups present in a higher concentration in the frying oil than in the fillet (in other words, oleic if extra virgin olive oil was used, or linoleic if sunflower oil was used) and in plant sterols.

As a result, the composition of the oil used for frying is modified: firstly, it is enriched by the acyl groups («fatty acids») that are present in a higher concentration in the fish fat than in the original oil, and secondly, and simultaneously, it is depleted in the acyl groups present in a higher concentration in the original oil than in the fish fat.

Likewise, after having been used for frying, the sunflower oil was richer in all the acyl group types (coming from the fish) except linoleic, which is the majority acyl group in sunflower oil.
