Almond-Violet oil was used for the treatment of insomnia, headache, cough, and fever based on TPM textbooks. There are two methods for the preparation of Almond-Violet oil.

This experiment determined meat composition and palatability changes resulting from feeding Holstein (HOL) and crossbred beef (XB) steers diets containing corn silage (CS) or alfalfa haylage (AH) (forage type) and soybean meal (SM) or fish meal (FM) (protein source). Fifty-nine steers (30 HOL and 29 XB) were randomly assigned to diet combinations for a 2 x 2 x 2 (breed x forage x protein) facto...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND A systematic mapping of the phytochemical composition of different sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) fruit subspecies is still lacking. No data relating to the fatty acid composition of main lipid fractions from the berries of ssp. carpatica (Romania) have been previously reported. RESULTS The fatty acid composition of the total lipids (oils) and the major lipid...

This study aimed to describe the multivariate structure of Semimembranosus muscle and backfat fatty acid (FA) composition in 798 Italian Large White heavy pigs investigate effects environmental factors carcass characteristics on FA variations. The total variability was characterized by a negative correlation between saturated polyunsaturated FAs, which strongly depended adiposity. Slaughtering ...

In this study, total lipid and fatty acid profiles of Barbus tauricus samples which were obtained from Melen River Basin during winter, spring, summer seasons, evaluated. Total levels determined 2.27%, 2.37%, 4.34% in summer, respectively. The study also that the carbon count 30 acids, composing fat compositions B. caught Basin, ranges among 12-24. major acids are palmitic stearic SFA; palmitol...
