  2. Mackerel as food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackerel_as_food

    Mackerel is an important food fish that is consumed worldwide. [3] As an oily fish, it is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. [4] The flesh of mackerel spoils quickly, especially in the tropics, and can cause scombroid food poisoning. Accordingly, it should be eaten on the day of capture, unless properly refrigerated or cured. [5]

  3. Unsaturated fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsaturated_fat

    However polyunsaturation of cell membranes may also occur in response to chronic cold temperatures as well. In fish increasingly cold environments lead to increasingly high cell membrane content of both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, to maintain greater membrane fluidity (and functionality) at the lower temperatures. [11] [12]

  4. Resistant starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistant_starch

    Resistant starch is considered both a dietary fiber and a functional fiber, depending on whether it is naturally in foods or added. [51] [52] [53] Although the U.S. Institute of Medicine has defined total fiber as equal to functional fiber plus dietary fiber, [54] U.S. food labeling does not distinguish between them. [55]

  5. Starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch

    Raw starch granules resist digestion by human enzymes and do not break down into glucose in the small intestine - they reach the large intestine instead and function as prebiotic dietary fiber. [46] When starch granules are fully gelatinized and cooked, the starch becomes easily digestible and releases glucose quickly within the small intestine.

  6. Polyunsaturated fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyunsaturated_fat

    Polyunsaturated fat can be found mostly in nuts, seeds, fish, seed oils, and oysters. [1] "Unsaturated" refers to the fact that the molecules contain less than the maximum amount of hydrogen (if there were no double bonds). These materials exist as cis or trans isomers depending on the geometry of the double bond.

  7. Fish protein powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_protein_powder

    Powders will all have a residual moisture content in the 4-8% range. Fish protein concentrate (FPC) - is a powder concentrate with medium level of protein (50-70%) and will contain some level of fat/oil (1-20%) in the powder form as well. [7] Fish protein isolate (FPi) - where the product contains less than 1% fat/oil and more than 90% protein.

  8. Fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat

    Adipocytes (fat cells) store fat derived from the diet and from liver metabolism. Under energy stress these cells may degrade their stored fat to supply fatty acids and also glycerol to the circulation. These metabolic activities are regulated by several hormones (e.g., insulin, glucagon and epinephrine).

  9. Dietary fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_fiber

    Dietary fiber is defined to be plant components that are not broken down by human digestive enzymes. [1] In the late 20th century, only lignin and some polysaccharides were known to satisfy this definition, but in the early 21st century, resistant starch and oligosaccharides were included as dietary fiber components.
