It has been proposed that the mutagenic activity associated with the ascorbic acid autoxidation system may involve hydrogen peroxide and peroxide radicals. We report here that the system may involve hydrogen peroxide and peroxide radicals. We report there that the mutagenic effect may also partially reside in as yet unknown secondary products. The observed mutagenicity of 2,3-diketogulonic acid...

Improvement of oxidative stability of soybean oil by blending with a more stable oil was investigated. Autoxidation of blends and interesterified blends (9:1, 8:2, 7:3 and 1:1, w/w) of soybean oil and palm olein was studied with respect to fatty acid composition, fatty acid location and triacylglycerol composition. Rates of formation of triacylglycerol hydroperoxides, peroxide value and volatil...

the present study examined the utilisation of seaweed extract as a source of natural antioxidantsfor retarding lipid oxidation in minced kilka. the kilka mince with two different concentrations(300 ppm and 600 ppm) of water extract obtained by microwave, one control sample with noadded extracts and one control sample with added vitamin c were prepared. the samples werestored at refrigerator (4º...

Silver carp fillets were treated with liposomal encapsulated and unencapsulated pomegranate peel extract at 0.5 and 1% w/w to evaluate the effect of the extracts on the shelf life of the fillets during 15 days of refrigerated storage. Quality changes of the samples were investigated in terms of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and microbial c...

abstract: degumming and neutralization processes are two essential stages carried out on crude edible oils in order to remove some unwanted impurities namely gums and free fatty acids. in this research study two popular less expensive commercial oils that are consumed to a great extent namely soyabean and sunflower seed oils are selected and subjected to both degumming and neutralization proces...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a tree with significant economic value and usage for human health and various food industries. However, fresh walnut kernels are a less widespread product than the dried kernels. This study aimed to determine the fresh walnut kernel properties including, fatty acid composition, proximate composition, total phenolics (TPs), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), acidic, p...

The effects of chitosan (2%) coating combined with green tea extract (GTE) (1%) on the quality of tiger-tooth croaker (Otolithes ruber) fillets including chemical, microbiological, texture, color and sensory properties during 16 days of refrigerated storage was investigated. The color changes were significantly retared, and the texture parameteres and sensory scores were significantly improved ...

This study dealt with physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of the lipid obtained from Mystus vittatus and some nutritional properties of the fish. The fish was found to contain moisture 76.98%, calcium 521.072 mg / 100gm, vitamin C 11.276 mg / 100 gm., lipid 1.89%, and protein 10.94% respectively. The specific gravity, refractive index and co-efficient of viscosity of this lip...

roasting has considerable effects on the quality of cream made of nuts. in this study, the roasting conditions of walnut kernels were optimized based on the stability parameters of the produced cream. temperatures of 100-150°c for 10-30 minutes were used to roast walnut kernels. the amount of oil separation, peroxide, acidity and thiobarbituric acid values of the cream, as well as color paramet...
