introduction considering the nutrient loss, environmental pollution and increase in production costs on account of chemical fertilizer application, supplying mineral nutrients based on organic sources and mycorrhizal inoculation can improve organic matter content in soil (khandan & astaraei, 2005; halajnia et al., 2007), promote sustainable production of oil crops (mostafavian et al., 2008; kaw...

tea and sesame seed oils extracted by different methods (including supercritical fluid extraction (sfe), at a pressure of 350 atm, a temperature of 60oc, a static extraction time of 20 minutes, a dynamic extraction time of 30 minutes and 150 g kg-1 of ethanol as a modifier). solvent (se) and ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction (ue)), as natural anti-oxidants, were evaluated during 15 days st...

The main objective of the current work was to evaluate the suitability of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) for the recovery of oil from papaya seed as compared to conventional extraction techniques (i.e., Soxhlet extraction (SXE) and solvent extraction (SE)). In the present study, the recovery yield, fatty acid composition and triacylglycerol profile of papaya seed oil obtained from differe...

Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth., Limnanthaceae) produces a very-long chain seed oil with novel physical and chemical characteristics (Earle et al. 1959; Smith et al. 1960; Bagby et al. 1961; Miller et al. 1964; Isbell 1997). These characteristics have propelled the development of meadowfoam as a specialty oilseed crop and the development of industrial markets for meadowfoam oil and oil deriv...

Improvement of seed yield and oil content in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) as an oilseed crop is the main objective of its breeding programs. However, little genetic information is available for these traits. The main objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for seed yield and oil content. Six safflower lines each derived from different Iranian local populations and Saff...

Tea oil derived from seeds of Camellia oleifera Abel. is high-quality edible oil in China. This study isolated full-length cDNAs of Rubisco subunits rbcL and rbcS from C. oleifera. The rbcL has 1,522 bp with a 1,425 bp coding region, encoding 475 amino acids; and the rbcS has 615 bp containing a 528 bp coding region, encoding 176 amino acids. The expression level of the two genes, designated as...

Ginseng seed oil was prepared using compressed, solvent, and supercritical fluid extraction methods of ginseng seeds, and the extraction yield, color, phenolic compounds, fatty acid contents, and phytosterol contents of the ginseng seed oil were analyzed. Yields were different depending on the roasting pretreatment and extraction method. Among the extraction methods, the yield of ginseng seed o...

in order to compare planting season effect on agronomic of characters and yield of dill (anethum graveolens l.) an experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was conducted in 2006-07 in esfahan province and three planting seasons (spring, summer and autumn) were evaluated. essential oil compositions were obtained by clevenger and recognized by gc-mass and gc. accor...

salinity stress is one of the most important environmental constraints that have been limited agricultural production in iran. therefore, introducing suitable cultivars having desirable yield under salinity stress will lead to increase of production efficiency. in order to study the response of spring safflower cultivars to salinity, an experiment was carried out at the experimental station of ...
