Metabolic engineering of fatty acids from soybean seeds
Background The worldwide demand for new renewable sources of energy is rising every day [1]. Biodiesel is a green fuel made mainly from soybean oil, on average composed of 25% oleic acid and 13% palmitic acid, which negatively impacts its oxidative stability and freezing point, causing a high rate of nitrogen oxide emission [2,3]. To improve the quality and performance of soybean oil as biodies...
متن کاملDistribution of fatty acids during germination of soybean seeds.
Gas chromatographic determination of the fat ty acids in the seeds of soybean (Glycine max) showed mainly linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids with linoleic acid being the major component . Changes in the distribution of fat ty acids were measured during germination in the cotyledons and roots. A decrease in palmitic and oleic acids was observed in the cotyledons from 6 to 12 days, while linoleic...
متن کاملKetocarotenoid Production in Soybean Seeds through Metabolic Engineering
The pink or red ketocarotenoids, canthaxanthin and astaxanthin, are used as feed additives in the poultry and aquaculture industries as a source of egg yolk and flesh pigmentation, as farmed animals do not have access to the carotenoid sources of their wild counterparts. Because soybean is already an important component in animal feed, production of these carotenoids in soybean could be a cost-...
متن کاملDetermination of Tocopherols and Fatty Acids in Seeds of
Background: The dried fruits of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn (Compositae) contain silymarin, an isomeric mixture of flavonolignans. Silymarin acts as a strong anti -hepatotoxic. This fruits contains a high amount of oil . Objective: The objective of this study was to determine total lipid content, fatty acid composition and content of different kind of tocopherols in seed oils of S. marianum...
متن کاملAssessment of Fatty Acids and Phenolic Content of some Citrullus colocynthis Accessions seeds from Iran.
Bitter melon (Colocynth) is a species of herbs, annual medicinal plant of family Cucurbitaceae which are mainly grown in warm regions of Iran. Fatty acids of the seeds of this plant are considered as important materials, medicinally. In this study, essential fatty acids of seed collected from nine different regions of Iran were evaluated. The composition of fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, ...
