Unsaponifiable Matter in Greases

Cholesterol-Lowering by Rice Bran and Rice Bran Oil Unsaponifiable Matter in Hamsters

Unsaponfiable matter (U) was prepared from both raw and extrusion stabilized (130'C) rice bran and tested for cholesterol-lowering activity in hamsters by addition to diets containing cellulose, raw rice bran, or stabilized rice bran at either the level found in the rice bran diet (0.4%, 1X) or twice that level (2X). All diets contained 0.3% cholesterol, 10% total dietary fiber, 10.1% fat, and ...

Unsaponifiable Matter in Carnuba (Cera carnuba) Wax, a Modification of the USP/NF and FCC Methods

Carnuba wax consists chiefly of myricyl cerotate (MW 817.4) and small quantities of free cerotic acid (C26H52O2, Mw 396.7) and myricyl alcohol (C30H62O, mp 90 ̊C). Of the two common extraction solvents, ethyl ether or petroleum ether, Lewkowitsch prefers the former. Concerning separation of phases, he advocates addition of small amounts of alcohol or caustic, and he also states that formation of...

The nature of the unsaponifiable fraction of the lipoid matter extracted from green leaves.

Studies of Sebum. II. Some constituents of the unsaponifiable matter of human sebum.

as one of the major constituents, accounting for about 16% of the unsaponifiable matter and about 35% of the hydrocarbon fraction. Some preliminary chemical tests were made for the fatsoluble vitamins, and the presence ofa small amount of vitamin E in human sebum was reported. A more complete study of the unsaponifiable matter has now been made, and this material has been more thoroughly examin...

1 Asu - Avocado Soybean Unsaponifiable

Objective: To investigate the effects of avocado (A)/soybean (S) unsaponifiables on the metabolism of human osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes cultured in alginate beads over 12 days. Methods: Enzymatically isolated OA chondrocytes were cultured in alginate beads in a well defined culture medium for 12 days, in the presence or not of 10 10 M interleukin 1ß (IL-1ß). DNA content was measured using ...
