Edible oil consumption in India has nearly doubled to reach 13.4 kg (2010 – 2011) per capita in the last five years, and the value is expected to grow further to 24 kg by 2020. Traditionally, mustard oil is popular edible oil in certain regions of India; its consumption accounts 18% of the total oil need of the country. Due to balanced amount of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, ...

Canola oil-based diets have been shown to reduce plasma cholesterol levels in comparison with diets containing higher levels of saturated fatty acids. Consumption of canola oil also influences biological functions that affect various other biomarkers of disease risk. Previous reviews have focused on the health effects of individual components of canola oil. Here, the objective is to address the...

and selective hydrogenation of liquid oils is practiced to change the physical proper~ies for solid fat products or to improve the stability of highly unsaturated oils during high temperature use. Hydrogenated ' vegetable oils are used in the formulation of shortenings, margarines, salad/cooking oils, and other foods. In the United States, the total consumption of visible and non-visible fat is...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of consuming thermally oxidized oil supplemented with pectin on liver glutathione peroxidase activity, serum malondialdehyde and lipid profiles in male Sprague-Dawley rats. METHODS Fifty growing male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into different groups. The diets differed only in their fat and pectin content. The diets had...

Relationships between liver biochemical test values and reported frequency of consumption of various foods were examined using a principal-component analysis of data from 42 patients with chronic liver disease. The statistical procedure identified relationships among biochemical and dietary variables. One relationship included the variables albumin, bilirubin, and frequency of intake of fruits ...

Petroleum based products are the major source of energy for industries and daily life. Leaks and accidental spills occur regularly during the exploration, production, refining, transport, and storage of petroleum and petroleum products. In the present study we isolated the bacteria from diesel contaminated soil and screened them for diesel biodegradation capacity. One monoculture isolate identi...
