Engineering Oilseed Plants for a Sustainable, Land‐Based Source of Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

Damude, Howard G., Kinney, Anthony J.·2007·Lipids

Abstract

Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the cardiovascular and mental health benefits of including very long chain omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, namely eicospentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosohexaenoic acid (DHA) in the human diet. Certain fish oils can be a rich source of omega‐3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids although processed marine oils are generally undesirable as food ingredients because of the associated objectionable flavors and contaminants that are difficult and cost‐prohibitive to remove. Oilseed plants rich in omega‐3 fatty acids, such as flax and walnut oils, contain only the 18‐carbon omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid alpha‐linolenic acid, which is poorly converted by the human body to EPA and DHA. It is now possible to engineer common omega‐6 rich oilseeds such as soybean and canola to produce EPA and DHA and this has been the focus of a number of academic and industrial research groups. Recent advances and future prospects in the production of EPA and DHA in oilseed crops are discussed here.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
