Oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids leads to primary and secondary oxidation products. Compounds and amounts of these products vary, depending on the oxidative conditions. Because these oxidation products have different absorption and biological effects, we performed 2 different heating treatments on sunflower oil. The first was heating the oil at 190 to 195 degrees C for 28 h (i.e., very ...

The fixed oil of L. usitatissimum (flaxseed/linseed) inhibited PGE2-, leukotriene-, histamine- and bradykinin-induced inflammation. The oil also inhibited arachidonic acid-induced inflammation, suggesting its capacity to inhibit both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways of arachidonate metabolism. In tail immersion model, the oil raised the pain threshold to a lesser extent than morphine bu...

The aim of the present investigation was to determine the effect of plant growth regulators viz., kinetin, chlorocholine chloride (CCC) and salicylic acid (SA) on achene yield and oil quality of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cv. Thori pertaining to biodiesel production. The growth regulators were applied at 10M as foliar spray during flowering (140 days after sowing). Kinetin was highly e...

gundelia tournefortii l. is a well known plant in mountains of iran and is found all over the country. it traditionally has some medicinal applications. in this research, gundelia tournefortii l. seed was studied as a source of edible oil. oil was extracted with immersion method using diethyl ether as a solvent. acidity, saponification, ester, iodine, peroxide and refractive indices, average mo...

rapeseed is one of the important oilseeds, as its oil ranks second in the world after soybean. the rapeseed cultivation has been increased recently in iran. drying of seeds to a safe moisture level is necessary for storage of oilseeds before processing. rapeseed drying conditions affect the seed quality, total oil and germination capacity. hence in this research the effects of different tempera...

background and objectives:wild sage(salvia macrosiphon boiss.) known as “marvak” in persian is one of the polymorphic and abundant plants of lamiaceae. the plants whole seeds usually soaked or boiled in hot water are widely used for inflammatory ailments in folk medicine. documents have shown that there is scant information on the chemical constituents of this plant seeds. the current study was...

background & aim: recent researches have been done on effects of plant growth regulators (pgr) on growth and production of different crops whose results indicate the effectiveness of most of these hormones on qualitative and quantitative growth of herbs. the application of regulators and inhibitors of growth on herbs may, in addition to growth, also lead to secondary metabolites stimulation...

Almond oil is used in many cosmetic products as a snack, in confectionery (marzipan, "turrón", nougat), food products (almond milk, ice cream, chocolate), culinary recipes and also cosmetic base. For surveying the effects of almond genotype and growing location on oil percentage of oil seed content and fatty acid of almond, seeds of 6 almond cultivars: Ferragnes, Tuono, Azar, Sahand, Nonpareil ...

Three Angus steers (410 kg) cannulated in the proximal duodenum were used in a replicated 3 x 3 Latin square to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid level and oil source on ruminal biohydrogenation and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) outflow. Dietary treatments included: 1) typical corn (TC; 79.2% typical corn), 2) high-oil corn (HOC; 79.2% high-oil corn), and 3) the TC diet with corn oil added...

ABSTRACT: Iran is considered number one producer of pomegranate throughout the world. The oil extracted from pomegranate seed is considered to have great medical and nutritional values, therefore the study is concerned with this unique and valuable oil specially its chemical attributes. Five different varieties of pomegranate were obtained from Saveh Pomegranate Research Institute. The seeds we...
