We investigated the effects of piroxicam, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and esculetin, a lipoxygenase inhibitor, on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary carcinogenesis in female rats. Seven days after receiving a 5-mg dose of DMBA, rats were fed either a high-fat (20% soybean oil) or low-fat (0.5% soybean oil) diet. One third of the rats received diets containing 0.01% piroxicam ...

The purpose of this study was to isolate and select indigenous soil Pseudomonas and Bacillus bacteria capable of developing multiple mechanisms of action related to the biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi affecting soybean crops. The screening procedure consisted of antagonism tests against a panel of phytopathogenic fungi, taxonomic identification, detection by PCR of several genes related to ...

Epoxidizedmethyl esters were prepared by the transesterification of epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO). The transesterification was complete in 10min at 50 ◦C without loss of the epoxide function. Epoxidized methyl esters represent a renewable substrate that is readily converted into surfactants, fuel additives, and other industrial products. The implementation of this reaction will increase the ava...

Vegetable oils are biodegradable and therefore good candidates for environmentally friendly base stocks. They have excellent lubricity, but poor oxidation and low temperature stabilities. For this study, synthetic lubricant basestocks with oxidative stabilities and pour points comparable with commercial synthetic lubricant basestocks have been prepared by reacting epoxidized soybean oil with Gu...

Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by-products are created when coal is burned and SO2 is removed from the flue gases. These FGD by-products are often alkaline and contain many nutrients including S. Agricultural application of FGD by-products is encouraged but little information is available related to plant responses and environmental impacts concerning such use. Agricultural lime (ag-lime) and s...

Soybean is a highly nutritious and strategic food. The harvested area production of soybeans tend to decrease, not sufficient for national needs, which must be met through imports. Breakthroughs are needed develop soybean, with specific strategies adapt particular conditions, including in Gunungkidul Regency. This study aimed reveal the soybean development dryland agroecosystem Survey interview...

This work is focused on the study of different microorganisms to obtain a high level of lipase. It was selected 6 different microorganisms: Geotrichum candidum NRRLY-552, Geotrichum sp., Fusarium oxysporum and three wild yeasts from Brazil rainforest. Fermentation carried out using agro industrial by-products like corn steep liquor and protein hydrolysed in shaken flasks under different conditi...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.)] is in use for more than 5000 years in China and South East Asia as food. Epidemiological studies show its importance in prevention of several diseases. Recently, an upsurge of consumer interest in the health benefits of soybean and soy products is not only due to its high protein (38%) and high oil (18%) content, but also due to the presence of physiologically benefic...

Growing public concerns about the traceability, safety and environmental-friendliness of food products provide an incentive for shorter supply chains in agricultural production. Here, we assessed the environmental impacts of the substitution of imported soybean meal with locallyproduced rapeseed meal in French dairy production systems, using a life-cycle approach. Two feeding rations based on e...
