In the second part some new directions where important positive health benefits are seen for coconut oil are suggested. These benefits stem from coconut oilís use as a food with major antimicrobial and anticancer benefits. The rationale for this effect and some of the literature will be reviewed here. The health and nutritional benefits derived from coconut oil are unique and compelling. They a...

Date is one of the world’s oldest food-producing plants wich has always played an important role in the economy and social life. Various researchers examined chemical composition and nutritional values of edible parts of dates while limited information about chemical composition and nutritional quality of date seed is available. In this study, fatty acid composition and total tocopherol content...

Background: Mastitis in sheep caused by Staphylococcus spp. is a serious concern for dairy farming. Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the intramammary infection (IMI) caused by Staphylococcus spp. on the long-chain fatty acid profile and composition of ewe’s milk. Methods: The experiment was conducted in a herd of Zoslachtena Valaska sheep. Half-udder milk samples ...

In this study, a comparative evaluation was performed in batch esterification reactions under conventional heating (CH) and assisted by microwave irradiation (MW) using bioprinted lipases. Microwave-irradiation-assisted generally provide higher productivities improve synthesis performance terms of increased rate reduced reaction times, resulting interest yields less time. Productivity calculate...

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the methane-reducing potential of individual and combined treatments low levels nitrate (NIT) a mixture capric/lauric acid (CL) in dairy cows. Both vitro vivo experiments were conducted. In experiment, anti-methanogenic effects NIT (1.825 mmol/l) CL (250 mg/l; capric acid, 125 mg/l + lauric mg/l) evaluated 2 × factorial design using consecutive batch incuba...

The chemical tagging of a cytochrome P-450-dependent lauric acid omega-hydroxylase from clofibrate-treated Vicia sativa seedlings with [1-14C]11-dodecynoic acid allowed the isolation of a full-length cDNA designated CYP94A1. We describe here the functional expression of this novel P-450 in two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains overproducing their own NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase or a reducta...

The physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of Attalea dubia (Mart.) Burret (indaiá) seed oil were investigated. The oil was extracted in a soxhlet apparatus using petroleum ether and evaluated for iodine, acid, peroxide, ester, and saponification values. The oil was also analyzed using infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The fatty acid profile of the oil was de...

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the fatty acid inPliek U oil andevaluate its inhibitor potential based on interaction several proteins and enzymes in SARS-CoV-2 using silico approach. Pliek containing capric acid, caprylic lauric linoleic myristic oleic palmitic acids, with as a dominant substance. Molecular docking analysis showed that has best receptors lowest binding affinity 3CLpro (6L...

The objective of the present work is to parametrically analyze effect extended surfaces’ proportion and positioning on lauric acid melting process, in an annular cavity. In total 46 geometric configurations were studied, varying between 5 area ratios, proportions, 2 positions surface. Numerical simulations performed with finite volume method used conduct study. numerical model, composed continu...
