Dependence on fossil fuels for meeting the growing energy demand is damaging world’s environment. There a dire need to look alternative that are less potent greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels offer several advantages with harmful effects Biodiesel synthesized from organic wastes produced extensively like edible, non-edible, microbial, and waste oils. This study reviews feasibility of state-of-t...

Lipids are an essential part of the human diet affecting biological processes and reducing disease development. Plant-based oils, specifically sterols, compounds for cellular composition proliferation. As vegetarians refrain from consuming animal products, although many versions this lifestyle exist, plant oils their only source fat intake. Extracted fats fatty acids; hence study aims to addres...

Objective: We prospectively evaluated the association between intakes of 1) Alpha-linolenic (ALA; 18:3n-3) [plant, like flax seed, omega-3] 2) Eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5n-3) [fish omega-3] 3) Docosahexaenoic (DHA; 22:6n-3) [fish and cold water algae omega-3] 4) Linoleic (LA; 18:2n-6) [plant omega-6, like corn, sunflower, safflower, peanut, soy oils] 5) Arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6) [animal om...

A pharmaceutical raw material is every active or inactive substance used in the manufacturing process of a pharmaceutical dosage form. According to their function in the medicament, they could be classified into two groups: (i) active ingredients with pharmacological activity; and (ii) excipients which allow the active ingredients dosification and makes suitable the route of administration (de ...

Animal fats (camel, sheep, goat, rabbit and chicken) and vegetable oils (corn, sunflower, palm oil and olive oil) were substituted with different proportions (1, 5, 10 and 20%) of lard. Fatty acid composition in TG and 2-MG were determined using lipase hydrolysis and gas chromatography before and after adulteration. Results indicated that, genuine lard had a high proportion (60.97%) of the tota...

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines consisting of the alkyl monoesters of fatty acids from vegetable oils or animal fats. Most of the biodiesel that is currently made uses soybean oil, methanol, and an alkaline catalyst. The high value of soybean oil as a food product makes production of a cost–effective fuel very challenging. However, there are large amounts of low–cost oils an...

Problem Statement: The research on the production of biodiesel has increased significantly in recent years because of the need for an alternative fuel which endows with biodegradability, low toxicity and renewability. Plant oils, animal fats, microalgal oils and waste products such as animal rendering, fish processing waste and cooking oils have been employed as feedstocks for biodiesel product...

BACKGROUND The number of diabetic patients in adult population is increasing. All this population are at risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) that are associated with unwanted ailments and high mortality. In spite of current therapies for DFUs, further therapies are needed to help the patients. METHODS The efficacy of herbal cream containing Pelargonium graveolens and Oliveria deco...

Using dry dog food label information, the hypothesis was tested that the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) increases with an increasing number of soy and cereal ingredients and a decreasing number of animal-protein ingredients among the first four ingredients. A nested case-control study was conducted with 85 GDV cases and 194 controls consuming a single brand and variety of dry food. N...
