Polar and nonpolar lipids and their fatty acid composition of a fewFusarium species

Abstract: A few species ofFusarium have been evaluated for their potential to produce lipids. The isolates under investigation exhibited wide variation with respect to the mycelial weight, total lipid content and percentage composition of polar and nonpolar lipids in which triglycerides were the major components (81–90%). Palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids were the major fatty acids in both the fractions. The polar lipids contained higher levels of linoleic acid, whereas nonpolar lipids contained oleic acid as … Show more

“…With both insects, extraction of the three most abundant FAs showed that ethanol and TPP, two defatting methods using polar solvents (ethanol and t -butanol), are more efficient at extracting C18:2, whereas methods using nonpolar solvents are more efficient at extracting C18:1 and C16:0. These results agree with the findings of Murali et al [23]. These authors fractionated lipids from Fusarium spp.…”

“…The GC-MS method applied in this study proved useful in screening unknown components in the extract tested as well as providing a view of the existence of an abundance of polar compounds. The major fatty acids found in the extract were derivatives of the polar fatty acid including LA, which is in agreement with literature [ 24 ]. LA constituted 12.39% of the total content of the extract and has been shown to possess neuroprotective and antioxidant activities.…”

“…In a study about the effect of the solvent polarity on the sesame seeds oil composition, Tir et al observed that sesame oil was better extracted with less polar solvents although membrane lipids require polar solvents for its extraction (Tir et al 2012 ). Murali et al studied polar and nonpolar lipids and their fatty acid composition of a few Fusarium species (Murali et al 1993 ) and observed that nonpolar lipids were more saturated than polar lipids. That helps to justify the better results of toluene with Lipomyces k .…”
