21. The beans contain significant amounts of phytic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and the isoflavones genistein and daidzein. 22. Purslane contains more omega-3 fatty acids ( alpha-linolenic acid in particular ) than any other leafy vegetable plant. 23. It also contains enough unsaturated fatty acid linolenic acid and polyunsaturated acid ( > 4 double bonds ) for a quality biodiesel. 24. :: The only known essential fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid, neither of which is saturated. 25. Certain nuts and vegetable oils contain a fat called linolenic acid that is related to the Omega-3 fatty acids in seafood. 26. Hydrogenation, which also solidifies the oil, removes linolenic acid, a substance that causes the oil to taste rancid when heated. 27. Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a unit of DuPont, has a soybean with half as much linolenic acid as conventional soybeans. 28. Blackcurrant seed oil is rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid and gamma-linolenic acid. 29. Blackcurrant seed oil is rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid and gamma-linolenic acid. 30. The researchers say that the fluid contains derivatives of linolenic acid and that similar compounds play a role in many plants'defense mechanisms.
