The purpose in this research was to study the effects of Vermicompost and poultry manure on yield and yield components of the medicinal plant coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in the Shahr-e- Ghods region. A factorial experiment using the randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in the Islamic Azad University of Shahr-e- Ghods. The first factor was three levels of ...

tagetes is a genus of 56 species of annual and perennial mostly herbaceous plants in the sunflower family (asteraceae or compositae).in this research our goal was recognizing the main components of the plant to extract useful ones. essential oils of the leaves, seeds and flowers of tagets minuta l., growing wild in iran, were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gc and gc-ms. identifi...

Blends (30:70, 50:50 and 70:30 w/w) of Moringa oleifera seed oil (MoO) with palm olein (PO), palm stearin (PS), palm kernel oil (PKO) and virgin coconut oil (VCO) were prepared. To determine the physicochemical properties of the blends, the iodine value (IV), saponication value (SV), fatty acid (FA) composition, triacylglycerol (TAG) composition, thermal behaviour (DSC) and solid fat content (S...

In the present study, the aflatoxin B1 contamination at various stages of oil refining and in refined oil were carried out. This was subsequently compared with commercial vegetable oil samples. Among the 23 different sunflower oil samples were tested, 10 of them showed positive results to AFB1 and the remaining 13 showed negative results to AFB1. All the refined oil samples were free from AFB1 ...

BACKGROUND Discharging the oily wastewater in the environment causes serious problems, because of the oil compounds and organic materials presence. Applying biological methods using the lipase enzyme producer microorganisms can be an appropriate choice for treatment of these wastewaters. The aim of this study is to treat those oil wastewaters having high concentration of oil by applying lipase ...

In recent years, the demand for plant-derived oils as renewable alternatives to fossil oil has increased due to the rising cost of petroleum and the increased concern about the environment. However, the supply of vegetable oils today relies upon only a few crops with low potential for further increases in oil yields. Redirection of carbon flux from starch to oil in the cereal seed can provide f...

Seed flours from black raspberry, red raspberry, blueberry, cranberry, pinot noir grape, and chardonnay grape were examined for their total fat content, fatty acid composition, total phenolic content (TPC), total anthocyanin content (TAC), radical scavenging capacities against the peroxyl (ORAC) and stable DPPH radicals, chelating capacity against Fe(2+), and antiproliferative activities using ...

The aim of this study was to model the fatty acid composition of vegetable oils by using the adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural network (ANN) based on rheological measurements. For this aim, seven different refined vegetable oils (hazelnut, soybean, sunflower, olive, canola, corn, and cotton seed) were used. Olive oil had the highest viscosity value of 0.067 Pa ...

A semi-automatic method for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in edible oils using a combined gel permeation chromatography/solid-phase extraction (GPC/SPE) clean-up is presented. The method takes advantage of automatic injections using a Gilson ASPEC XL sample handling system equipped with a GPC column (S-X3) and pre-packed silica SPE columns for the subsequent clean...
