This study contributes to the literature on energy market risk management and portfolio by examining co-movements between several commodities in a context light of impact types uncertainty over time under high, medium, low frequencies. Using wavelet decomposition analysis, we first investigate lead-lag relationship together with power correlation major renewable non-renewable indexes indexes. S...

In this study, the effects of coatings made of chitosan (Chi) incorporating thyme essential oil (TEO) on lipid oxidation and changing color indexes of walnut kernels were investigated. Chi: pure, in accompany with TEO at concentrations of 500 and 1000 microliter per liter, in an aqueous coating solution, with different packaging methods: Gunny sack, polypropylene and active packaging, compared ...

The essential oil, obtained by steam distillation of flowers, leaves and stems from Wisteria brachybotrys Sieb.et Zucc, collected in Japan was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-MS. The important aroma-active compounds were also detected in the oil using GC-MS/Olfactometry (GC-MS/O) and aroma extraction dilution analysis (AEDA). As a result, sixty-eight compounds from flowers of W. brac...

BACKGROUND Normal brain and visual development is thought to require exogenous docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) intake, but the amount needed is debatable. Because the supplementation of breastfeeding mothers with DHA increases the DHA content of their infants' plasma lipids, we hypothesized that it might also improve brain or visual function in the infants. OBJECTIVE The objective was to ...

Non-trans-fat (NTF) margarine was produced by substituting partially-hydrogenated palm oil in blend with fully-hydrogenated oil. Three types of NTF blends were used this study. To obtain an similar physical properties to the reference blend, which contain oil, melting and crystallization kinetics evaluated. The iodine value raw material measured, mixed form blends. Fatty acid composition (FAC) ...

The present study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition of rice polishing available in Pakistan used in poultry rations as an energy source. Chemical analysis of 195 samples was done. Overall, 60% samples had either lower or higher percentage of ether extract as compared to reference value (1316%). Large number of samples (41.54%) showed lower value of ether extract (less than 1...

Although they are necessary for many physiological functions, when produced in excess or without adequate resolution, free radicals may contribute to several equine diseases. For example, an 83% difference in protein carbonyls, a marker of oxidative damage to proteins, was noted in synovial fluid of horses with joint disease compared to non-diseased joints. In another instance, thiobarbituric r...

INTRODUCTION Kuṅkumādi Ghṛta (KG) is an Ayurvedic formulation commonly recommended in skin disorders, especially Mukhadūṣikā (Acne vulgaris). Kesara (stigma of Crocus sativus Linn.) is a prime ingredient in the formulation. However, due to high cost and increased adulteration in Kesara, 'Nāgakesara' (Mesua ferrea Linn.) is suggested by Ayurvedic experts as a substitute. Nāgakesara is relatively...
