“…2). In fact, some authors have questioned the formation of acrolein from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) by lipid peroxidation processes [17,18]. On the other hand, there are many published studies reporting the formation of acrolein from fatty acids by oxidative degradation, some of which will be mentioned here.…”

Acrolein (2-propenal) is ubiquitously present in (cooked) foods and in the environment. It is formed from carbohydrates, vegetable oils and animal fats, amino acids during heating of foods, and by combustion of petroleum fuels and biodiesel. Chemical reactions responsible for release of acrolein include heat-induced dehydration of glycerol, retro-aldol cleavage of dehydrated carbohydrates, lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and Strecker degradation of methionine and threonine. Smoking of tobacco products equals or exceeds the total human exposure to acrolein from all other sources. The main endogenous sources of acrolein are myeloperoxidase-mediated degradation of threonine and amine oxidase-mediated degradation of spermine and spermidine, which may constitute a significant source of acrolein in situations of oxidative stress and inflammation. Acrolein is metabolized by conjugation with glutathione and excreted in the urine as mercapturic acid metabolites. Acrolein forms Michael adducts with ascorbic acid in vitro, but the biological relevance of this reaction is not clear. The biological effects of acrolein are a consequence of its reactivity towards biological nucleophiles such as guanine in DNA and cysteine, lysine, histidine, and arginine residues in critical regions of nuclear factors, proteases, and other proteins. Acrolein adduction disrupts the function of these biomacromolecules which may result in mutations, altered gene transcription, and modulation of apoptosis.

“…Oxidation in biological tissues should be avoided because some negative biological effects have been attributed to lipid oxidation products (Guardiola et al, 2002;Niki et al, 2005;Spiteller, 2006). In meat and food products, oxidation might lead to a reduction of the sensory and nutritional quality (Gray et al, 1996).…”

“…In meat however, LO increased TBA values . Therefore, although the increase in PUFA in tissues may be interesting from a nutritional point of view, and in the prevention of some chronic diseases (Kinsella et al, 1990;Simopoulos, 1997;Siddiqui et al, 2008), it might cause a reduction in aT content and an increase in tissue oxidability that should be avoided, due to the negative biological effects that have been described for various oxidation compounds (Guardiola et al, 2002;Niki et al, 2005;Spiteller, 2006).…”

We supplemented diets with a-tocopheryl acetate (100 mg/kg) and replaced beef tallow (BT) in feeds with increasing doses of n-6-or n-3-rich vegetable fat sources (linseed and sunflower oil), and studied the effects on the fatty acid (FA) composition, the a-tocopherol (aT) content and the oxidative stability of rabbit plasma and liver. These effects were compared with those observed in a previous study in rabbit meat. As in meat, the content of saturated, monounsaturated and trans FA in plasma and liver mainly reflected feed FA profile, except stearic acid in liver, which increased as feeds contained higher doses of vegetable fat, which could be related to an inhibition of the activity of the stearoyl-CoA-desaturase. As linseed oil increased in feeds, the n-6/n-3 FA ratio was decreased in plasma and liver as a result of the incorporation of FA from diets and also, due to the different performance and selectivity of desaturase enzymes. However, an increase in the dose of vegetable fat in feeds led to a significant reduction in the aT content of plasma and liver, which was greater when the fat source was linseed oil. Increasing the dose of vegetable fat in feeds also led to an increase in the susceptibility to oxidation (lipid hydroperoxide (LHP) value) of rabbit plasma, liver and meat and on the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values of meat. Although the dietary supplementation with a-tocopheryl acetate increased the aT content in plasma and liver, it did not modify significantly their TBA or LHP values. In meat however, both TBA and LHP values were reduced by the dietary supplementation with a-tocopheryl acetate. The plasma aT content reflected the aT content in tissues, and correlated negatively with tissue oxidability. From the studied diets, those containing 1.5% linseed oil plus 1.5% BT and 100 mg of a-tocopheryl acetate/kg most improved the FA composition and the oxidative stability of rabbit tissues.

“…In addition, fat digestibility may be altered if it has a high polymer content (Má rquez-Ruiz et al, 2008). Furthermore, several detrimental biological effects have been described for some primary and secondary oxidation compounds (Má rquez-Ruiz and Dobarganes, 1996;Guardiola et al, 2002;Spiteller, 2006), some of which could be absorbed from diets (Kanazawa and Ashida, 1998;Guardiola et al, 2002) or formed in tissues (Guardiola et al, 2002;Spiteller, 2006). Thus, it is essential to evaluate the oxidation and FA composition of fats before they are added to feeds to avoid unexpected alterations in tissues.…”

The effects of the addition of heated oils to feeds (3%, w/w) and the dietary supplementation with a-tocopheryl acetate (TA; 100 mg/kg) and Zn (200 mg/kg) on rabbit tissue fatty acid (FA) composition and on the Zn, Cu, Fe and Se content in meat were assessed. Heating unrefined sunflower oil (SO) at 558C for 245 h increased its content in primary oxidation products and reduced its a-tocopherol content. However, this did not significantly affect tissue FA composition. Heating SO at 1408C for 31 h increased its content in secondary oxidation products and in some FA isomers as c9,t11-CLA and di-trans CLA. This led to increases in di-trans CLA in liver and in t9,c12-18:2 in meat. The c9,t11-CLA was the most incorporated CLA isomer in tissues. The dietary supplementation with a-TA did not affect the FA composition of plasma, liver or meat. The cooking of vacuum-packed rabbit meat at 788C for 5 min reduced significantly but slightly its polyunsaturated FA content. The dietary supplementation with Zn did not modify the content of Zn, Fe or Se in meat, but it reduced its Cu content. On the other hand, it increased the content of some FAs in meat when SO heated at 1408C for 31 h was added to feeds.Keywords: heated oils, fatty acid composition, plasma, liver, meat Implications An animal's diet has an influence on the composition of its tissues, which can be used to improve the nutritional value of meat, for instance modifying its fatty acid (FA) composition or increasing its mineral content. Unsaturated fat products used in feeds are prone to oxidation that can occur both during their production process and their storage, leading to a high content of oxidation compounds and altering their FA profile. This might affect the tissue composition, and thus the meat nutritional value. We studied the influence of the addition of oxidized oils and minerals to rabbit feeds on the FA composition of its plasma, liver and meat and on its meat element content. IntroductionFatty acid (FA) composition of animal tissues can be modified by the type and amount of dietary fat (Wood and Enser, 1997). Dietary recommendations for humans suggest reducing the intake of not only fat and cholesterol but also saturated FAs (SFA) and trans FA, and increasing the intake of polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs), mainly those from the n-3 series (Food and Nutrition Board, 2005). Therefore, in order to obtain more healthy meat, several unsaturated fat sources have been incorporated to feeds to nutritionally improve meat FA composition (Wood and Enser, 1997).However, unsaturated fat sources are prone to oxidation that can occur both at low and high temperatures. At low temperatures, for instance during storage of unsaturated fats at ambient temperature, lipid hydroperoxides (LHPs) increase until they reach a plateau, and then decompose into secondary oxidation compounds. At high temperatures, decomposition of LHP is faster and isomerization of FA is also favored, leading to the appearance of both geometric and positional FA isomers, as several trans FA and conjugate...
