Development And Validation Of A Food-Frequency Questionnaire For The Determination Of Detailed Fatty Acid Intakes, Maria Cantwell, Michael Gibney, Denis Cronin, Katherine Younger, John O'Neill, Linda Hogan, Mary Flynn

Articles

Objective: To validate a fat intake questionnaire (FIQ) developed to assess habitual dietary intake while focusing on the assessment of detailed fatty acid intake including total trans unsaturated fatty acids (TUFA). Design: An 88 food item/food group FIQ was developed using a meal pattern technique. Validation was achieved by comparison with dietary intake assessed by a modified diet history (DH) in a cross-over design. Eighty-four individuals supplied adipose tissue biopsies for linoleic acid and total TUFA analysis as an independent validation of the FIQ and DH. Setting: Medical Centre, Dublin Airport, Republic of Ireland. Subjects: One hundred and five healthy …

Nf05-624 Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Jennifer Larsen, Linda S. Boeckner

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Fats in our food are categorized according to the predominant fatty acid that is present. Typically fats are categorized as saturafed fatty acids or unsaturated fatty acids. Some examples of foods that are high in saturated fats are butter and lard. These fats are solid at room temperature. Fats that are high in unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature. Examples are vegetable oils such as canola, corn, olive or soybean.

This NebFacts discusses the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, supplements, how much is enough and the cautions on eating certain fish.
