the intake of antioxidants intake has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. to clarify the possible role of lipophilic antioxidants in prevention of atherosclerosis, we investigated the effects of lycopene on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (ldl) to oxidative modification. in this study, “lycopene” was added to plasma and incubated...

Moringa oleifera is a crop that has spread throughout the tropics worldwide and its seeds are non-conventional source of edible oil. The objective this study was to evaluate oxidative stability fatty acid profile M. oil under frying conditions for an extended time. Typical parameters used characterize assess quality oils were evaluated following standard methods such as saponification value. In...

bioactive food components (such as phenolic compounds, carotenoids, anthocyanins, tochopherols, ascorbic acid, flavonoids, minerals, enzymes and pectin) are active ingredients in food or dietary supplements, which proven to have an important role in health, and are safe for human consumption. these compounds exert their antioxidant effects by different mechanisms such as single electron transfe...

In order to assess the sunflower oil (SFO) oxidative stability that was added by essential oils extracted from Lonicera japonica flower buds (LJEO) during deep-frying at 180 °C for 30 h, we clarified compound/compounds of LJEO improved SFO. The results displayed addition (0.06 g/kg) could significantly restrict elevation or reduction in levels total polar compounds (TPC), thiobarbituric acid (T...

The production of conjugated C4–C5 dienes from biomass can enable the sustainable synthesis many important polymers and liquid fuels. Here, we report first example bimetallic (Nb, Al)-atomically doped mesoporous silica, denoted as AlNb-MCM-41, which affords quantitative conversion 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) to pentadienes with a high selectivity 91 %. incorporation AlIII NbV sites into fr...
