Olive waste cake (OWC) is underestimated as an agricultural waste. In this work, OWC extract were obtained by ethanol. Antioxidant efficacy of ethanolic OWC extract at levels of 100, 200, 400 and 600 ppm were studied. Samples of sunflower oil mixed with OWC extract were intermittent heated at 180±5°C for 4 hr / day, for 5 consecutive days and has been assayed for stabilization of sunflower oil ...

Sunflower is the main oilseed crop for our country, occupying about 85% of the area of industrial crops.

Optimization of various production parameters using response surface methodology (RSM) was performed to assess maximum yield of rifamycin B from Nocardia mediterranei MTCC 14. Plackett-Burman design test was applied to determine the significant effects of various production parameters such as glucose, maltose, ribose, galactose, beef extract, peanut meal, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulphate, b...

Vermitechnology is an effective composting method, which transforms biomass into nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. Mature vermicompost is a renewable organic product containing humic substances with high biological activity. The aim of this study was to assess the chemical characteristics and the bioactivity of humic acids isolated from different vermicomposts produced with either cattle manure...

Scientists are concerned about the health risks associated with consuming a diet high in saturated fats. In this regard, oleogels have been used as shortening substitute by researchers. This present study evaluated role of stearyl alcohol (SA)-, and Span-60 (SP)-tailored sunflower wax/sunflower oil upon butter replacement whole wheat batter cake.
