Green vegetable consumption has long been considered,to have health benefits mainly due to the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients (such as vitamin C; folate, antioxidants etc) contained in,a vegetable-rich diet. Additionally green vegetables are known to contain a relatively high proportion of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), primarily in the form of alpha -linolenic acid (18:3n-3). However, there Lire no data available on the fatty acid composition and concentration of green vegetables commonly consumed in Australia, The, present study determined the fatty acid content of I I green vegetables that are commonly available in Australia.: The total fatty acid concentrations of the vegetables understudy ranged from 44 mg\/100 g wet weight in Chinese cabbage to 372 mg\/100 g in watercress. There were three PUFAs' in all vegetables analyzed these were 16:3n-3, 18:2n-6, and 18:3n-3 fatty acids. Sample vegetables contained significant quantities of 16:3n-3 and 18:3n-3, ranging from 23 to 225 mg\/100g. Watercress and mint contained the highest amounts of 16:3n-3 and 18:3n-3, and parsley had the highest amount of 18:2n-6 in both percentage composition and concentration. Mini had the highest concentration of 18:3n-3 with a value of 195 mg\/100g, while watercress contained the highest concentration of 16:3n-3 at 45 mg\/100 g. All 11 green vegetables contained a high,proportion of PLTFAs, ranging from 59 to 72% of total fatty acids. The omega-3 PUFA composition ranged from 40 to 62% of total fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acid composition was less than 6% of total: fatty acids. The proportion of saturated fatty acids ranged from 21% in watercress and mint to 32%, of total fatty, acids in Brussels sprouts. No eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were detected in any of the samples I Consumption of green vegetables could contribute to 18:3n-3 PUFA intake, especially for vegetarian populations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-56173","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"\"LI D,RMIT UNIV,DEPT FOOD SCI;GPO BOX 2476V; MELBOURNE VIC 3001, AUSTRALIA.d.li@rmit.edu.au\"","annee":"2001","mois":"7","numero":"71:4","page":"223-228","auteurs":[{"ID":37303,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 01:14:36","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 00:14:36","post_content":"","post_title":"Duo Li","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"duo-li","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 01:14:36","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 00:14:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/duo-li\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":54390,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 06:41:47","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 05:41:47","post_content":"","post_title":"Pereira","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pereira-3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 06:41:47","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 05:41:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/pereira-3\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":56172,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 07:12:16","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 06:12:16","post_content":"","post_title":"Sinclair","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"sinclair","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 07:12:16","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 06:12:16","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/sinclair\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":44239,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 03:20:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 02:20:00","post_content":"","post_title":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR VITAMIN AND NUTRITION RESEARCH","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"international-journal-for-vitamin-and-nutrition-research","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 03:20:00","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 02:20:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/international-journal-for-vitamin-and-nutrition-research\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
