safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is one of the oilseed plants that can influence strongly on oilseed security because it is extremely compatible with environmental conditions. safflower is cultivated as second cultivation after combining cereals in isfahan. nowadays many attempts are performed to improve safflower oil quality to use in edible oil industry. in this study, quantity and quality...

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...

objective(s):the aim of this study was to evaluate the oxidative status and dna integrity in testes of wistar rat offspring exposed to omega-9 monounsaturated (mufa) at different times of late organogenesis. materials and methods:sixty female rats were divided into six groups of 10 animals. the first group served as control and received the drug vehicle, olive oil (1 ml/kg/day). the second, thi...

many properties of chemicals depend on their stereochemistry. among these, the effects of stereoisomerism on percutaneous absorption of drugs are not well studied. we have previously shown that permeation of tretinoin and isotretinoin (two geometric isomers) through hydrophilic enhancers-treated rat skin is stereoselective. as, depending on their lipophilicity, penetration enhancers can change ...

achieving a desirable percutaneous absorption of drug molecule is a major concern in formulating dermatological products. the use of penetration enhancers could provide a successful mean for this purpose. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporating a few common penetration enhancers (in different concentrations) into a 0.5% w/w piroxicam (model drug) gel formulation, on th...

legumes are rich sources of protein and consider a good alternative to make a protein films. in this study, central composite design to investigate the simultaneously effect of the grasspea protein isolates (2 - 10 percent), glycerol (0.5 - 7%) and oleic acid (0 - 2%) on properties of edible films made from grasspea protein isolates, such as thickness, density, percentage of solubility in water...

The mechanisms controlling the partitioning of seed composition constituents along the main stem in soybean are still controversial. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate seed protein, oil, and fatty acids partitioning in soybean cultivars along the main stem. The cultivars were DT97-4290, maturity group (MG) IV; Stressland, MG IV; Hutcheson, MG V; TracyM, MG VI. Seeds were ...

a fiber coating from polyaniline (pani) was electrochemically prepared and employed for solid phase micreoextraction (spme). the pani film was directly electrodeposited on the platinum wire surface using cyclic voltametry (cv) technique. the same method was applied for the preparation of spme fiber coated by polyaniline multiwalled carbon nanotubes (pani/mwcnts) composite. the concentration of ...

CaCo-2 cells, grown on filter membranes, were used to study the effects of fatty acids on cellular metabolism of triacylglycerol and phospholipids. The rate of triacylglycerol secretion was enhanced more than 2-fold, from 1 to 2 weeks after reaching confluency, in the presence of 0.6 mM fatty acids. Triacylglycerol secretion and oxidation of oleic acid increased 2- and 9-fold, respectively, wit...
