Total lipid contents ranged from 0.64% (II) to 18.02% (I) by dry weight and the highest total lipid content was observed in the autotrophically cultivated cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis. Solvent mixture I was found to be more effective than solvent II. Fatty acids were determined by gas chromatography of their methyl esters (% of total FAMEs). Generally, the predominant fatty acids (all results for extractions with solvent mixture I) were saturated palmitic acid (C16:0; 24.64%\u201365.49%), monounsaturated oleic acid (C18:1(n-9); 2.79%\u201326.45%), polyunsaturated linoleic acid (C18:2(n-6); 0.71%\u201336.38%), \u03b1-linolenic acid (C18:3(n-3); 0.00%\u201321.29%), \u03b3-linolenic acid (C18:3(n-6); 1.94%\u201317.36%), and arachidonic acid (C20:4(n-6); 0.00%\u201315.37%). The highest content of \u03c9-3 fatty acids (21.29%) was determined in Chlorella pyrenoidosa using solvent I, while conversely, the highest content of \u03c9-6 fatty acids (41.42%) was observed in Chlorella kessleri using the same solvent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules19022344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,21]],"date-time":"2014-02-21T11:55:11Z","timestamp":1392983711000},"page":"2344-2360","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Influence of Extractive Solvents on Lipid and Fatty Acids Content of Edible Freshwater Algal and Seaweed Products, the Green Microalga Chlorella kessleri and the Cyanobacterium  Spirulina platensis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jarmila","family":"Ambrozova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Analysis and Chemistry, Faculty of Technology, Tomas Bata University in Zlin, nam.
