Alkylhydroperoxides in oxidized oil are undesirable components because they become alkylperoxyl radicals (ROO ) in the presence of heme, hemoglobin, or myoglobin in red meat. ROO are biochemically reactive and damage nucleic acids and proteins, thereby harming living cells. We isolated a component, a highly potent ROO scavenger, from crude canola oil (rapeseed), which we designated canolol, and...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels (0, 2 and 4%) of canola oil and 2 levels of heat (1 and 2 time heated) on blood biochemical parameters of Japanese quails. This study carried out in factorial (3×2) experiment based on completely randomized design with 360 of Japanese quails in 6 treatments and 3 replicate for 35 of day. In this study, blood biochemical p...

Concerns regarding the commercial release of genetically engineered (GE) crops include naturalization, introgression to sexually compatible relatives and the transfer of beneficial traits to native and weedy species through hybridization. To date there have been few documented reports of escape leading some researchers to question the environmental risks of biotech products. In this study we co...

Seed germination, seedling emergence and crop establishment are important aspects of canola production, and are the main components of seed/seedling vigour. A major concern of seed businesses and canola growers alike is loss of seed vigour that may go undetected before planting. Two vigour assays, based on off-gassing of ethyl alcohol from poor vigour seed, are being developed. They are a simpl...

a canola seed pneumatic conveyor was designed and constructed to convey canola seed at a 90 g/hr mass flow rate through a 58 mm diameter pipe. physical and aerodynamic properties of the canola seed that are critical to the design process were measured. system pressure drop, comprising air pressure drop and solid pressure drop and which is the most important aspect of pneumatic conveyor design, ...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the effects of dietary intervention with canola or olive oil in comparison with commonly used refined oil in Asian Indians with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a 6-month intervention study including 93 males with NAFLD, matched for age and body mass index (BMI). Subjects were randomized into three groups to receive olive oil (n...

Much previous research in pest management in canola has focused on developing strategies for reducing infestation levels of single pest species (e.g., bertha armyworm), or individual pest groups (e.g., insects) without regard to possible detrimental effects of these control strategies on other pests. The aim of our research has been to integrate insect management strategies with agronomic pract...
