Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic compounds included in priority pollutant lists because of their mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. Several studies have shown that exposure to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a member of the PAHs increases the risk of cancer. This study investigated the effects of firewood smoking and oil frying on the BaP levels in Nile perch (Late...

Over the past three decades, biodiesel has experienced remarkable development. This fuel, obtained from vegetable oils or animal fat, advantage of being renewable, less polluting, and reduces energy dependence oil-importing countries.In this article, we are interested in production a biofuel based on non-food used frying oil. The physico-chemical characteristics for Oleor oil found to comply wi...

the objective of this work was to determine the effect of pre-frying elimination through the addition of methylcellulose and the influence of wheat flour partial replacement with corn flour (5 and 10%) on some quality factors of deep fat fried shrimp nuggets and compare the results with traditional process including pre-frying step. all batters showed shear-thinning behavior (n ≤ 0.624) and pro...

Huge efforts have been carried out in recent years in order to develop an alternative fuel from renewable resources, such as biodiesel fuel. Therefore, the use of cooking oil as raw material is a very interesting alternative for the production of biodiesel. In this work, waste frying oil was used as raw material for enzymatic biodiesel production. Moreover, this study analyzes the influence of ...
