Physical and chemical changes were compared with soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil , rice oil, rapeseed oil, lard, palm oil and coconut oil in continuous water spraying and heating system (Table -1 , Fig,-1•`4). Thermal oxidative changes such as viscosity increasing ratio, carbonyl and iodine value , showed close relation with the initial iodine value of these oils. However, in coconut oil ...

Echium oil (source of stearidonic acid) and linseed oil (source of α-linolenic acid) were evaluated as alternatives for fish oil in the diet of sows to increase the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) status of the offspring. The hypothesis was that echium oil would be more efficient than linseed oil to increase the DHA concentration, as it bypasses the enzyme Δ6-desaturase. In addition, it was determin...

Comparative efficacy of brodifacoum, bromadialone (second-generation single-dose anticoagulant) was evaluated in a coconut crop on Minicoy Island. Preand postrodent control relative levels of rodent populations and damages were recorded as indices for assessing effectiveness of different concentrations and different bait formulations of three rodenticides. The black rat, Rattus rattus (Linnaeus...

A voltammetric electronic tongue to classify five different types of edible oil samples is described in this study. The standard three-electrode configuration composes the sensor array: gold electrode, platinum electrode and saturated calomel electrode. Using cyclic voltammetric measurement, respectively, on five different types of edible oil samples (peanut oil, corn oil, soybean oil, sesame o...

abstract aims: it seems that there is a causal link between dietary fat and body weight. overweight obesity is the biggest nutrition-related problem in developed countries and the rapid summation of obesity is taking place in their populations. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of different diets on the obesity of syrian hamsters. materials & methods: this experimental study condu...

The paper presents a theory of nominal asset prices for competitively owned oil. Focusing on monetary e¤ects, with ‡exible oil prices the US dollar oil price should follow the aggregate US price level. But with rigid nominal oil prices, the nominal oil price jumps proportionally to nominal interest rate increases. We …nd evidence for structural breaks in the nominal oil price that are used to i...

The objective of this study was to determine inhibitory activities of four volatile plant essential oils (cinnamon oil, fennel oil, origanum oil and thyme oil) on in vitro growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae causing Fusarium wilt of strawberry plants. Results showed that these essential oils inhibited in vitro conidial germination and mycelial growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. fragariae i...

To examine whether phytosterols in polyunsaturated oils account for their differential action on lipid metabolism compared with monounsaturated oils, 16 normolipidemic individuals consumed three 10-day experimental diets containing corn oil (high in polyunsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols), olive oil (high in monounsaturated fatty acids and low in phytosterols), or olive oil supplemented w...

Recently, sesame oil is highly appreciated by consumers due to its sensory qualities, antioxidants activity and nutritional benefits, despite its high price. Also, the detection and quantification of adulteration both are problem with increasing importance in the consumer’s health and food industry. The goal of this study was to use Fourier transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy coupled w...

We investigate the effect of different saturation histories relevant to various oil displacement processes (including secondary and tertiary gas injections) on three-phase gas/oil/brine relative permeabilities of water-wet sandstone. It is found that three-phase water (wetting phase) relative permeability is primarily a function of water saturation and shows no dependency upon saturation histor...
