Consumption of fats and oils in the ancient world was examined as a window to human nutritional needs and compared with lipid usage in the modern world, post-1900. In earlier periods, the natural and only source of edible fats and oils came from both animals and plants. These fats and oils played a vital role in the evolution of the human body structure, supporting many biochemical functions. A...

Introduction: Essential oils are used as flavoring agents in various foods. Layer-by-Layer (LBL) technique is a method in which the material is dipped into a series of different solutions containing oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a multilayered edible coating with an antimicrobial compound (Lemon and Peppermint) in enhancing the...

Chemical degradation of edible oils has been studied using conventional spectroscopic methods spanning the spectrum from ultraviolet to mid-IR. However, the possibility of morphological changes of oil molecules that can be detected at terahertz frequencies is beginning to receive some attention. Furthermore, the rapidly decreasing cost of this technology and its capability for convenient, in si...

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS I950 supply are not likely to be restored to us. If the food subsidies are greatly reduced, and dairy produce and other foods are sold at something more nearly approaching the Cost of production, I doubt whether the consumption of butter will ever return to its prewar level, but the demand for butter will certainly continue to be greater than the present available supply....

Among edible oils, olive oil shows important and outstanding characteristics due to its differentiated sensorial qualities (taste and flavor) and higher nutritional value. It is an important oil that is high in nutritional value due to its high content of antioxidants (including vitamin E) 1. Several health benefits, such as its ability to lower LDL cholesterol and its anti-inflammatory activit...

Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) have attracted attention as part of a healthy diet, because they are absorbed and transported directly into the liver via the portal vein, metabolized rapidly by beta-oxidation, and increase diet-induced thermogenesis. Because medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT) containing only MCFA has a few weak points as frying oils, we have developed medium- and long-chain tr...

The dielectric and relaxation parameters of a binary system of edible oils, containing unsaturated fats namely mustard oil and coconut oil/ground nut oil/linseed oil in different proportions by volume are measured at different frequencies and a constant temperature (40°C). It is realized that at the given temperature, the dielectric constant of prepared samples at microwave frequency increases ...

Photothermal techniques are based on the thermal waves detection, such waves are generated when a modulated light strikes on a sample material, thermal waves then travel through the material, is the material is homogenous then thermal waves propagate freely and, only suffering an attenuation as a function of traveled distance, when the material has defects the waves will suffer not only attenua...
