It is known that lecithin, a zwitterionic phospholipid, self-assembles into spherical reverse micelles in organic solvents. We have explored the effects of adding inorganic salts to lecithin organosols. Salts are insoluble in organic solvents, and hence their effects on reverse self-assembly have rarely been studied. Our studies show, however, that salts can indeed be dissolved in organic liqui...

Bile colloids containing taurocholate and lecithin are essential for the solubilization of hydrophobic molecules including poorly water-soluble drugs such as Perphenazine. We detail impact Perphenazine concentrations on taurocholate/lecithin using analytical ultracentrifugation, dynamic light scattering, small-angle neutron nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, coarse-grained molecular dynam...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different lecithin sources and their levels on growth performance and resistance to anoxia stress of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) alevin with initial weight of 120 ± 4.08 g for 40 days. soybean and egg lecithin at 2, 4 and 6 ? levels were added to the diets. seven treatments by three replications were used in this experiment. therefore, ...

in whipping cream industry the recent trend is to reduce cream fat content without any changes in physical and whipping properties. stabilizers are widely used to improve physical and whipping properties of whipping cream. in this research, the effect of lecithin (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%), carrageen an (0.01, 0.02 and 0.03%) and wp900 (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) was investigated on firmness, overrun, drainag...

the goal of this study was the evaluation of semen extender filtration on post-thawed buck sperm quality. a total 16 ejaculates were collected from four buck (4 ejaculates from each buck) twice a week. after semen collection and primary evaluation, collected semen samples were pooled and divided into two equal parts. each part was diluted with one of the following extenders: 1) non-filtered lec...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of soybean lecithin on performance and blood lipids of broiler chicks. a total of 180 one day old ross 308 broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with nine treatments (diets with 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 percent of soybean lecithin) and four replicates for 47 days-rearing period. in ord...

saturated fat consumption increases the risk of both coronary and cancer diseases. therefore, fat reduction in uf-feta cheese (≈ 45% fdm) is favorable but, unfortunately, it has some negative effects on the texture and sensory characteristics of the cheese. in this research, response surface methodology was employed to study the probably improving effects of wpc80 (0-20 gr kg-1), lecithin (0-2 ...

Xerosis is a common skin condition as well key aspect of number diseases associated to hereditary and acquired conditions. The objective this study was formulate evaluate the pluronic lecithin organogel containing natural moisturizing agents for topical application. Different formulations organogels were prepared by using Pluronic F127, Lecithin, Vitamin E, Aloe vera, water, sorbic acid, potass...

The purpose of the present study was to assess the role of the liver in the plasma-cholesterol-lowering effect of soyabean lecithin. Normolipidaemic rats were fed on lecithin-enriched or control diets with the same amount of protein. The lecithin diets contained 200 g/kg high-fat commercial semi-purified soyabean lecithin (230 g/kg total lipids as soyabean phosphatidylcholine) or 200 g/kg high-...

A practical and easily reproducible method for preparing lecithin of a high degree of purity is urgently needed in connection with the use of lecithin in cardiolipin antigens (1, 2). Methods devised for this purpose have been published (3, 4), but the procedures, based on the classic studies of Levene and his coworkers (5, 6), were somewhat tedious and the lecithins so prepared have not always ...
