They are a necessary part of the alpha-linolenic acid ( an omega-3 fatty acid ) and linoleic acid ( an omega-6 fatty acid ).
43.
Walnut oil is composed mostly of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid, although it does also contain oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat.
44.
Linseed oil is an edible oil in demand as a nutritional supplement, as a source of ?-Linolenic acid, ( an omega-3 fatty acid ).
45.
The human body converts alpha-linolenic acid ( ALA ) to EPA . ALA is itself an essential fatty acid, an appropriate supply of which must be ensured.
46.
Walnuts also contain relatively large amounts of linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that is essential to metabolism and has been shown to reduce blood-cholesterol levels.
47.
The seeds contain 26-38 % of borage seed oil, of which 17-28 % is gamma-linolenic acid ( GLA ), the richest known source.
48.
Hence, the biomass of the fungus is considered as a rich source for production of chitosan and polyunsaturated fatty acids especially ?-linolenic acid ( Omega-6 ).
49.
A handful of walnuts, 1 { tablespoons of canola oil, or 2 tablespoons of soybean oil have about as much linolenic acid as a three-ounce serving of salmon.
50.
Alpha-linolenic acid, a nutrient found in nuts, as well as in unhydrogenated canola and soybean oils, flaxseed and flaxseed oil, is credited with protecting the heart.
