Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss] is one of the most important oilseed crops worldwide yet drought and salinity stress significantly reduced its growth yield. The research was carried out in order to test effect on osmoprotectants (total soluble sugars, proline), antioxidant molecules (ascorbate, ?-tocopherol) ionic content from dry sample leaves introgression lines varieti...

The influence of fatty acid composition and tocopherol on cholesterol oxidation in fish, flax, sunflower, and palm oil to which cholesterol was added were examined during storage and heating. The contents of cholesterol oxides in all oils increased (p < 0.05) during storage and heating. Total cholesterol oxides in fish oil were higher (p < 0.05) than that in vegetable oils. Addition of R-tocoph...

ABSTRACT: The object of this study is to extract the oil from millets and evaluate the chemical properties of the extracted oil. Commercial millet oil was obtained by cold solvent extraction adopting soxhlet procedure. Quantitative and qualitative tests concerned with the non-saponifiable matter, fatty acid composition, phosphorus content representing total phospholipids, refractive index, pero...

Coenzyme Q10(CoQ10) in human milk at different stages of maturity in mothers of preterm and full-term infants and its relation to the total antioxidant capacity of milk is described for the first time. Thirty healthy breastfeeding women provided colostrum, transition-milk and mature-milk samples. Coenzyme Q, alpha-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol, fatty acids and the total antioxidant capacity of ...

the study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant activity of hydroalcoholic solution extracts of urtica dioica l. (ud), malva neglecta wallr. (mn) plants and their mixture. in this study, flower (udf), root (udr), seed (uds) and leaf (udl) parts of ud and flower (mnf) and leaf (mnl) parts of mn were used. the antioxidant properties of hydroalcoholic extracts and their mixture were evaluated us...

ABSTRACT: In this study the non-saponifiable matter of oils extracted from nine varieties of sunflower seed were subjected a series of chemical tests. The non-saponifiable matters were fractionated into a number of chemical classes of compounds namely sterols, 4 methyl sterols, triterpene alcohols, tocopherols and hydrocarbons. The two major and important classes of compounds consisting of ster...

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...

Seeds of oil crops are both important sources edible oils and bioactive compounds. The present study was carried out to determine variations in content, compounds (total phenolic, flavonoid, carotenoid, xanthophyll tocopherol) fatty acid compositions the seeds 20 safflower genotypes. Relationships among these parameters were also examined with correlation principal coordinate analysis. Signific...

objective: to study the effects of a high dose alpha-tocopherol on serum total cholesterol (tc), triglyceride (tg), and the high density lipoprotein (hdl) levels of patients with schizophrenia receiving olanzapine. method: thirty six adults diagnosed with schizophrenia based on dsm-iv who were taking olanzapine for a minimum of thirty days entered this eight-week, double blind, placebo-controll...

One of the simplest methods for short-term handling and storage of fish is the refrigeration in combination with dip treatments. This study was conducted to determine the effect of pre-storage α-tocopherol acetate dipping treatments on lipid stability of refrigerated rainbow trout fillets. Trout fillets were dipped in α-tocopherol acetate solutions (200 and 500 mg kg-1 flesh) and subsequently s...
