Viral diseases affecting the essential oil rose, which is a valuable object of agricultural production, may have significant negative impact on economic value this crop. Hence, study and control potentially dangerous viruses to improving quality cultivars raw plant material, enable production derivatives. The diversity Rosa L. plants manifests itself in their conditional division into those tha...

Boiled coffee contains an unidentified lipid that raises serum cholesterol. We studied the effects of the ingestion of coffee oil fractions of increasing purity in volunteers in order to identify the cholesterol-raising factor. In 15 volunteers who ingested 0.75 g/d of a non-triglyceride-fraction from coffee oil for 4 weeks, mean cholesterol increased by 48 mg/dl (1.2 mmol/l) relative to placeb...

In this case study, we demonstrate the effects of different lipid emulsions on liver function in a 52-year-old woman with short bowel syndrome who was totally dependent on parenteral nutrition. Over a 13-month period after small bowel resection and jejunostomy, we followed the patient's plasma triglycerides and liver enzyme levels as well as body weight and discomfort levels. During the first 3...

The effect of altering the abundance of precursors and inhibitors of prostaglandin formation by dietary supplements of fish oil was investigated in dogs with experimentally induced myocardial infarction. Prior to induction, 10 male mongrel dogs were fed standard dog chow supplemented with 25% of the total calories as menhaden oil for 36 to 45 days. The fatty acid composition of th lipids in pla...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease characterized by defects in the epidermal barrier function and cutaneous inflammation, in which transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is increased and the ability of the stratum corneum to hold water is impaired, causing decreased skin capacitance and hydration. This study investigated the effects of topical virgin coconut oil (VCO) and mineral oil, r...

While consumers are interested in organic or biorational alternatives to synthetic fungicides for the control of diseases of ornamentals as well as vegetables and tree fruits in residential landscapes, relatively few field trials have been conducted to establish their performance against ornamentals diseases. Weekly applications of Armicarb® 100 (potassium bicarbonate) controlled powdery mildew...

Seven Rosa damascena samples and two check samples were collected and studied for both of the chemical oil and the molecular genetics composition. Results of oil chemical analyses of the different samples showed a great deal of resemblance among essential oils resultant from rose samples collected from the same region. The molecular genetics analyses for the same samples using both RAPD and ISS...

Microwave-assisted pyrolysis of seaweed biomass was conducted using a microwave system. The product yields were determined and the components bio-oil analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results showed that as temperature increased from 400 °C to 600 °C, yield bio-char decreased. However, rose firstly then reduced. maximal 18.4 wt.% when 500 °C. obtained is mixture very com...
