Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Some halophytes are good sources of oil production for human
consumption. However, lipids in halophytes have vital functions with respect to their
adaptation to conditions of high salinity. They play an active role in cell membrane
selective permeability to toxic ions. During the process of plant adaptation, the fatty
acid compositions of halophytic lipids change to play a unique role. Fatty acid
composition, as well as makeup, varies considerably from one organ to another in
halophytes. This chapter discusses the lipid and fatty acid contents of halophytes, the
effect of salinity on lipid contents and compositions of halophytes, the utilization of
halophytic lipids by animals, and the interrelations between dietary fat and animal
metabolism.
