A energia é considerada questão estratégica de um páis e a proporção seu uso sempre esteve diretamente associada ao desenvolvimento industrial. Com descoberta do petróleo no início século XIX, foi intensificado ainda mais o processo industrialização, provocando uma intensa modificação espaço ocupado pelo homem. Mas escassez iminente, geração por meio combustíveis fósseis, como petróleo, não pod...

BACKGROUND Alongside flour, fat is the key ingredient of sponge cakes, including those with long shelf lives. It is an unstable food component, whose quality and nutritional safety depend on the composition and pres- ence of oxidation products. Consumption of fat oxidation products adversely affects the human body and contributes to the incidence of a number of medical conditions. Qualitative c...

The objective of this study was to work out different blends of oils amongst rice bran oil (RBO), soybean oil (SBO), and mustard oil (MO) to obtain a unique blend of oil having better shelf life. Further, in present work, the effect of synthetic antioxidant such as butylated-hydroxyanisol (BHA), butylhydroxyltoluene (BHT) and t-butyl-hydroxyquinone (TBHQ) were also evaluated by adding upto reco...

the oil extracted from three major canola cultivars (hyolla401, hyolla420 and rgs003) grown in golestan province was analyzed for physico-chemical properties, fatty acid composition, minerals content, and stability during 16 weeks of storage. according to the results, the highest iodine value and refractive index belonged to hyolla401. the highest saponification value was observed in hyolla420....

Prevention of lipid oxidation needs special attention because a high proportion of fatty acids in broiler meat are unsaturated. A feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effect of dietary addition of rosemary, chokeberry pomace, rosehip, or nettle in comparison with vitamin E. Male Ross PM3 broilers caged in groups of 6 (4 replicated cages per treatment) were fed a balanced...

abstract: oxidation might be regarded as one of the most important reaction in oils and fats. prooxidants namely iron and copper intensify and catalyze the oxidation while the chelating agents might retard or delay this process. citric acid, phosphoric acid, some of phenolic compounds and phospholipids are considered as the compounds that chelate the prooxidant metals and through this mechanism...

Abstract Safflower is a minor oilseed crop in Australia where the market is dominated by canola, cottonseed and sunflower. Safflower however offers an alternative oilseed crop in marginal areas. This study was designed to evaluate current safflower lines and to determine their potential value both for edible oil and meal for animal feed. Two sets of samples were analysed. The first was a collec...

Herbs rich in bioactive phytochemicals were recognized to have biological activities and possess many health-promoting effects. In this work, cold-pressed thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) oil (TO) was studied for its lipid classes, fatty acid profile, tocols and phenolics contents. Antioxidant activity and radical scavenging potential of TO against free radicals (DPPH(・) and galvinoxyl) was determine...

The oxidative stability of margarine supplemented with different concentrations of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seed extract (FSE) was compared to the synthetic antioxidants; butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at legal concentrations. The experiment was carried out under accelerated storage conditions for 4 weeks employing peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value (AV...
