Improving oxidative stability of ghee using natural oxidants from agri-industrial wastes

Antioxidant Effects of Aromatic Plant Essential Oils on Oxidative Stability of Ghee

Aim of the Study: The study was aimed to assess the antioxidant properties of four plants native EO in comparison with synthetic antioxidants during storage of ghee as a food model. Materials and Methods: The essential oils (EOs) were prepared and analyzed to total phenol content, DPPH, reducing power assay and also their effect on the oxidative stability of ghee during the accelerated storage...

Improvement of the Oxidative Stability of Sesame Oil Using Spirulina as a Natural Antioxidant

Background: Nowadays, natural antioxidants are used to replace synthetic antioxidants for delaying or preventing the oxidation of edible oils. In this study, phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties of methanol extracts of Spirulina microalgae (Arthrospira platensis) were measured. Methods: Phenolic content was measured by Folin–Ciocalteau method and antioxidant activity was measured by th...

Assessment of Toxicity of Industrial Wastes Using Crop Plant Assays

Environmental pollution has a harmful action on bioresources, including agricultural crops. It is generated through many industrial activities such as mining, coal burning, chemical technology, cement production, pulp and paper industry, etc. The toxicity of different industrial wastes and heavy metals excess was evaluated using crop plant assays (germination and hydroponics seedlings growth te...

Simultaneous Photo-Oxidative Degradation of EDTA and Extro-Oxidative Recovery of Copper from Industrial Effluents

The objectives of this investigation are the studies on the effect of copper ion on photolytic degradation of ethylenediaminetertraaceticacid (EDTA), the effect of EDTA on electrolytic recovery of copper as well as the introduction of a novel combined photolytic and electrolytic cell system for simultaneous recovery of copper and the degradation of EDTA.In this experimental study, ...
