what are the important omega 3 fatty acid foods needed for human body function

Omega-3 fatty acids are the essential fats our body can’t make from other fats or raw materials. Some food rich in Omega 3 fatty acids includes fish, nuts, vegetable oils, flax seed oil, and leafy vegetables. Experts at Test House, one of the leading organic food testing labs in Chennai, opinionate that omega-3 fatty acids are responsible for the creation of hormones that regulate blood clotting, genetic functions, and contraction and relaxation of artery walls. 


Being one of the best Fatty acid Profile analysis labs in Chennai, we have found the following foods to be rich in omega-3 fatty acids:


  • Cod liver oil

  • Salmon fish

  • Walnuts

  • Eggs

  • Chia seeds

  • Flax seeds

  • Soyabean

  • Spinach

  • Brussel sprouts

  • Mangoes

  • Berries

  • Avocado


According to the experts of our organic food testing labs in Chennai, omega-3 fatty acids are of three types: 


  • Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 

  • Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

  • Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)


ALA is the most common omega-3 fatty acid found in vegetable oils, nuts, flax seeds, and leafy vegetables. Our body uses ALA for energy, and its conversion to other fat forms is limited. DHA and EPA are mostly found in fish and are often called omega-3s.


Though omega 3 fatty acids are good for health, our experts at Fatty acid Profile analysis labs in Chennai recommend not to intake more than 3gms of it daily. High levels of fatty acids may also cause health problems like bleeding and obesity. We recommend you seek help from an expert to know the right omega-3 fatty acid levels for your body.

How do you Analyse vitamin content in food?

Analyzing the vitamin content in food involves several laboratory techniques. Here's an overview of the common methods used High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC):  HPLC is a widely used technique for analyzing vitamins, particularly water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C (ascorbic acid), B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, etc.), and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K. This method separates and quantifies individual vitamins based on their chemical properties. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS):  LC-MS combines chromatography with mass spectrometry detection to analyze and quantify vitamins in food samples. It offers high sensitivity and selectivity and can be used for both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. UV-Visible Spectrophotometry: UV-visible spectrophotometry is commonly used for analyzing vitamin concentrations, particularly for vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin E (tocopherol), which absorb UV or visible light at specific wav...
