The aim of current research was to develop a water-in-oil emulsion containing grape seed extract for application in cosmeceuticals. Finally grinded dried grape seeds powder was extracted with hydro alcoholic mixture. Emulsions consisting of different concentrations of cetyl dimethicone (Abile EM90), the nonionic emulsifier, liquid paraffin as oily phase and water as aqueous phase were developed...

The Rose window instability is a little-explored electrohydrodynamic instability that manifests when a layer of low-conducting oil is placed in an electric field generated by corona discharge in a point-to-plane configuration. Above a critical voltage, the instability starts as a single dimple in the oil layer right below the point electrode and subsequently evolves into a characteristic patter...

Scientists Investigate Burned Gulf Spill Emissions Much of the oil spilled during the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico was burned to keep it from reaching the shoreline or harming sea life. NOAA scientists have analyzed the gas and aerosol emissions resulting from the burning of the spilled oil and found that over a 9-week period more than 1 million pounds of black carbon wer...

Sixteen patients with rheumatoid arthritis entered a trial to determine the clinical and biochemical effects of dietary supplementation with fractionated fish oil fatty acids. A randomised, double blind, placebo controlled crossover design with 12 week treatment periods was used. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and with disease modifying drugs was continued throughout the s...

In this study we report the effects of sunflower, virgin olive and fish oils on the progression of aortic lesions. A total of 24 male New Zealand rabbits (six per each group) were fed for 50 days on a diet containing 3% lard and 1.3% cholesterol, to induce atherosclerosis. An atherogenic control group (A) was killed after this period and three groups were fed for an additional period of 30 days...

The aroma bouquet of wine depends mainly on grape (variety, crop, climate, location, and so on), yeasts/microorganisms, aging. Additionally, the flavor can be modulated by adding herbs, extracts, byproducts, on. aim present study was to characterize aromatized wine-type beverages (AWTBs) prepared supplementation with rose oil industry byproducts (ROIBs). Three approaches were employed: 1. dried...
