This work aimed to study the effect of emulsion properties on the microencapsulation of orange essential oil by spray drying. The study was performed using a 2 central composite design, where the independent variables were the total solid content (0-30%), the ratio of oil/total solids (0-30%) and the homogenization pressure used for emulsification (0-1000 bar). Whey protein concentrate and 20 D...

The enzymatic transesterification of ethyl ferulate (EF) with fish oil from cod liver was investigated with Novozym 435 as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the synthesis system for the production of feruloyl fish oil in industry. The modified HPLC method was first set up to characterise the reaction products together with liquid chromatography elec...

Biodiesel is a fatty acid alkyl ester which is renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel which can be derived from any vegetable oil and animal fats. Vegetable oils and animal fats in their raw form have high viscosity that makes them unsuitable as fuels for diesel engines. Transesterification is one of the well-known process by which fats and oils are converted into biodiesel. The reaction o...

The enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction of oil from wet microalgae was employed to avoid the energy consumption of a dewatering process. In this paper, oil-rich microalgae Scenedesmus sp. G4 was hydrolyzed by enzyme mixtures for oil extraction. The results showed that the algae concentration had the greatest influence on yield of extracted oil, and the temperature and the ratio of enzyme mixture...

lttrd high-fat dict (HFD) and those in study 2 were fed either a LFD or a fish-oil HFD after day 5 of prcgnancy and during lactation, In study ], when pups were placed on a selilselection regimen of the LFD and the lard HFD within the first week after vreaning, the ratio of the lard HFD intake [lard HFD intake (g)ftotal intake (g)l by pups of beth groups was about 7096. Although pups nursed by...

Recently, nano-EOR has emerged as a new frontier for improved and enhanced oil recovery (IOR & EOR). Despite their benefits, the nanoparticles tend to agglomerate at reservoir conditions which cause their detachment from the oil/water interface, and are consequently retained rather than transported through a porous medium. Dielectric nanoparticles including ZnO have been proposed to be a good r...

Recently, sesame oil is highly appreciated by consumers due to its sensory qualities, antioxidants activity and nutritional benefits, despite its high price. Also, the detection and quantification of adulteration both are problem with increasing importance in the consumer’s health and food industry. The goal of this study was to use Fourier transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy coupled w...

saffron essential oil has a pleasant aroma and medicinal activities. however, it is sensible into the environmental condition. therefore, it should be protected against unwanted changes during storage or processing. encapsulation is introduced as a process by which liable materials are protected from unwanted changes. in the present study, different ratios (0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0...
