Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are vital dietary elements that play a significant role in human nutrition. They highly regarded for their positive contributions to overall health and well-being. Beyond the fact they provide substantial supply of energy body (a saturated fats can also perform), these unsaturated and, especially, essential ones involved cell membrane structure, blood pressure regulation, coagulation; participate proper functioning immune system assimilation fat-soluble vitamins; influence synthesis pro- anti-inflammatory substances; protect cardiovascular system. Modern diets like Western diet American rich found especially fast food products, sweets, processed foods, has led an increase prevalence metabolic diseases worldwide (obesity, type II diabetes, gout, disease). Nutritionists have drawn attention moderate consumption need intake detriment ones. This paper examines biochemical roles polyunsaturated fats, particularly acids, contrasts benefits with detrimental effects fat overconsumption. Furthermore, it highlights necessity shifts towards increased PUFA mitigate global burden diet-related issues. The co-occurrence PUFAs polyphenols plant-based foods sophistication nature’s design. These bioactive compounds not randomly distributed but present humans consumed together historically. From traditional Mediterranean, which pairs olive oil (PUFAs polyphenols) vegetables legumes, Asian cuisines combining sesame seeds turmeric, cultural practices long harnessed this natural synergy.

Linseed oil quality depends on cultivar and agriculture practice/conditions. In this study, we analyzed the effect of main variable, which was continuous cropping system vs. crop rotation system. The aim study to compare content composition (fatty acid sterol, tocochromanol, carotenoid, phenolic contents) two fiber-type linseed cultivars (Modran Nike). All measurements were performed according standard chromatographic/spectrophotometric procedures typical for analysis. factors that affected yield tested included cultivation (crop or cropping), plant protection level (herbicide application no herbicide application), year (2018 2019). exhibited high (35.4-42.7%) with substantial omega-3 fatty (α-linolenic acid) (53.6-62.2% total acids). primary bioactive components in all oils sterols (dominated by β-sitosterol), their reaching 5079 mg/kg, tocochromanols, 679 mg/kg γ-tocopherol), influenced studied factors. contrast, carotenoids compounds constituted a smaller fraction (up 17 159 respectively), but most variable strongly dependent (CV 21 37%, respectively). summary, results current showed resulted increased levels carotenoids, compounds, γ-tocopherol oil.
