    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In zwölf verschiedenen Sorten von Nußnougat-Creme wurde die Fettsäurezusammensetzung einschließlich der trans-Fettsäuren mittels Kapillargaschromatographie untersucht. Die Cremes bestanden hauptsächlich aus Zucker und teilweise gehärteten Pflanzenfetten. In den verschiedenen Sorten betrug der gravimetrisch ermittelte Fettgehalt zwischen 30 und 38,2%. Die verschiedenen Cremes wiesen deutliche Unterschiede in ihrer Fettsäurekomposition auf. Der Gehalt an Linolsäure, der wichtigsten mehrfach ungesättigten Fettsäure, schwankte zwischen 12 und 39%. Der Anteil an Palmitinsäure (16∶0), die den Hauptanteil an den gesättigten Fettsäuren ausmachte, variierte zwischen 9 und 27%. Der Gesamtgehalt an trans-Fettsäuren lag zwischen 0,9 und 12,3%, nur zwei Cremes enthielten weniger als 1 %. 18∶1t stellte den größten Anteil an allen trans-Fettsäuren, während 14∶1t und 16∶1t nur in Spuren gefunden wurden. Drei Proben enthielten die Linolsäure-Isomere 18∶2tt, 18∶2ct und 18∶2tc, jeweils in einem Bereich zwischen 0,7 und 1,06% der Gesamtfettsäuren; in den restlichen Cremes wurden davon nur Spuren nachgewiesen. Unsere Untersuchungen wiesen trans-Fettsäuren in jeder Form von Nußnougat-Creme nach. Da mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen der Aufnahme von trans-Fettsäuren und der Entstehung von Tumorerkrankungen und Arteriosklerose ungeklärt sind, sollten andere Herstellungsverfahren verwendet werden, um die trans-Fettsäuren aus den genannten Produkten zu eliminieren, zumal diese bevorzugt von Kindern als Brotaufstrich verzehrt werden.
    Notes: Summary The fatty acid composition including trans fatty acids of 12 brands of nut-nougat creams were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography. The creams consisted mainly of sugar and partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. The lipid content, which was quantified gravimetrically, amounted to between 30 and 38.2 % in the different brands. The fatty acid composition varied considerably between the different creams. Linoleic acid, the major polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), ranged from 12 to 39%. Palmitic acid (16∶0), which was the main fatty acid, varied from 9 to 27 %. The total trans fatty acid content of the 12 creams ranged from 0.9 to 12.3 %. Only two of the creams contained less than 1% of trans fatty acids; 18∶1t was the trans fatty acid found in the greatest amounts, whereas 16∶1t and 14∶1t were only found in trace amounts. Three samples had amounts of 18∶2tt, 18∶2ct, and 18∶2tc between 0.7 and 1.06%; only small amounts of linoleate isomers were detected in the other creams. Our results show that trans fatty acids are present in every brand of chocolate cream tested. Since the potential risk of arteriosclerosis and cancer resulting from the consumption of trans fatty acids is not yet clear, different ways of production should be used in order to eliminate them from the creams that are a preferred bread spread of infants and children.

    Notes: Abstract The fatty acid status of an unselected group of 84 Congolese children was determined by estimating the fatty acid composition of the plasma phospholipid (PL) and cholesterolester (CE) fractions using capillary gas chromatography. In comparison with North American and European children a wide range of values and low mean percentages (related to the fatty acids of a chain length of 14–24 carbon atoms) were found for the following fatty acids (mean±SD): linoleic acid (LA) (PL: 17.19±3.85; CE: 40.13±7.72); arachidonic acid (AA) (PL: 6.60±2.28; CE 4.32±1.71); dihomo-gammalinolenic acid (DHLA) (PL: 1.80±0.68; CE 0.41±0.22). On average, ω3 fatty acids were higher than in reference groups, while similar values were found for the monoenoic and ω9 fatty acids. No sample contained eicosatrienoic acid, 20:3ω9 (ETA) which, dependent on analytical methods, may be difficult to separate from behenic acid (22:0). Changes in the relation between the two lipid fractions occurred when the LA content in CE was less than 35%. Also the correlation between LA and AA in CE, which was significant below 35% LA (r=0.84), changed with higher values for LA (r=0.01). These findings may indicate that alterations in fatty acid metabolism occur when LA values in CE — which are supposed to be directly related to the dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids — fall below 35% of all fatty acids in this lipid fraction.

    Notes: Abstract The nutritional status of an unselected group of 111 children from the village of Bouansa, People's Republic of the Congo, was studied. Comprehensive clinical examinations, anthropometrical measurements and analysis of albumin, prealbumin, ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE, IgG- and IgM-circulating immune complexes (CIC) were carried out. The results show, by anthropometrical classification, a high prevalence of moderate malnutrition. Low levels of plasma proteins and high levels of immunoglobulins and CIC were found. No correlation between anthropometrical classification and plasma proteins was established. Children with increased levels of CRP showed low prealbumin values and increased levels of ferritin. Patterns of immunoglobulins and CIC were close to those found in other studies in tropical countries. To evaluate the anthropometrical and biochemical findings it is necessary to take into consideration the apparently healthy appearance of the children, which shows the degree of adaptation to the limited availability of food and the high rate of acute and chronic infections.
