abstract = {Information on fatty acid (FA) profile is critical for the production and promotion of sheep milk and derivative dairy products. The presence of the essential ω-3 and ω-6 FA in milk fat as well as other less common FA, like linoleic acid isomers, has gained an increasing interest due to the consumer demand for a healthy diet. This research assesses the FA profile and estimates the lipid quality indices (ratio between hypocholesterolaemic and hypercholesterolaemic fatty acids, peroxidisability index, atherogenic index, and thrombogenic index) of raw milk and cream fat from two indigenous Greek sheep breeds (Karagouniko and Chios) at different lactation stages. Raw milk and cream fat presented a favorable ω-6/ω-3 ratio below 4:1. Atherogenic and thrombogenic indices of all studied milk fat fluctuated in sufficiently low levels (<3). The FA profile and lipid quality indices in both raw milk and cream samples differed significantly depending more on the lactation stage compared to the breed type. Raw milk fat from late lactation had more beneficial fatty acid profile compared to early and middle lactation stages. Differences among breeds were highlighted when raw milk and cream samples were compared within the same lactation stage. Raw milk and cream fat from Karagouniko breed were characterised by higher ω-3 proportion, lower ω-6/ω-3 ratio and lower thrombogenic index value compared to those from Chios breed.},

abstract = {Lipid quality indices (LQI) of six breeds of suckling lambs and kids were determined to evaluate the species and breed effect on intramuscular (IM) and perirenal (PR) fat. Intramuscular fat of all breeds was characterized by high phospholipid and unsaturated fatty acids and low cholesterol content. Perirenal fat mainly consisted of triglycerides. Polyunsaturated/saturated (P/S), ω-6/ω-3 and hypocholesterolaemic/hypercholesterolaemic fatty acid ratios of IM fat were optimal for all breeds. Specifically, IM fat from Kalarytiko lamb and Skopelos kid presented favourable ω-6/ω-3 ratio below 3:1. Chios and Lacaune lamb and Skopelos kid IM fat presented the higher P/S ratio and similar to the recommended value of 0.45. Furthermore, atherogenic and most of thrombogenic indices of IM fat remained in desirable levels (<1.0). Significant differences in most lipid quality indices among species and breeds were evident for both IM and PR fat. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used as a tool to cluster the six breeds according to fifteen different LQI. Species and breeds were classified according to their most representative higher values of LQI.},
