Evaluation of four safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes for oil content and fatty acidcomposition showed that oil content varied from 22.16 to 34.39% and the highest seed oilcontent was obtained from Isfahan14 genotype (34.39%, respectively). Among those fatty acidswere detected, linoleic acid (75.81- 77.86%) was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic(12.57–13.75%), palmitic (6.0...

Growth performance and meat quality traits of 24 Massese suckling lambs reared up to 69 days age in different farming systems were evaluated. Three groups considered: stall (S) indoors fed concentrate hay; pasture (P) outdoor semi free-range (F) during the night at day, concentrate, hay herbage. The remained constantly with their dams for whole period, having thus always access mothers’ milk. A...

 The study aims to determine the influence of frying (shallow and deep) with olive, canola and sunflower oil on fatty acid composition of silver carp < /font>. Frying by olive oil and canola oil increased the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) significantly (p < 0.05) that consequently decreased saturated fatty acids (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and ω-3 fatty acids. Frying by sunfl...

In this study nine new varieties of sunflower seeds were obtained and subjected to oil extraction using soxhlet apparatus. The extracted oil was analyzed for fatty acid composition and phosphorus content to measure the phospholipid concentration. The results indicated that Armavirski variety had the highest oil content. The fatty acid composition of the extracted oils indicated that Armavirski ...

the effect of kaolin on fruit and oil of olive cv. `zard’ was evaluated in a commercial orchard in fasacity, fars province. mature olive trees cv. `zard’ were sprayed with 0, 3 and 6% kaolin after 60 days, 60and 90 days and 60, 90, 120 days after full bloom. results showed that kaolin concentration and sprayingtime had not significant effects on physicochemical parameters but they had significa...

background: with the increasing concern for health and nutrition, dietary fat has attracted considerable attention. the composition of fatty acids in the diet is important because they are associated with major diseases including cancers, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. the fatty acid synthase (fasn) and stearoyl-coa desaturase (delta-9-desaturase) (scd) genes affect fatty acid compositio...

the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of slaughter and carcass weight, age at slaughter and sex on the fatty acid profile of the greek boutsiko sheep breed. twenty lambs (ten females and ten males) were examined. the lambs were slaughtered at the age of 48 days. carcasses were chopped in nine specific cuts and a random sample of 100 g was taken from each cut, with a total of 180...

agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis are among most favorite mushrooms of the world. mineral contents, proximate composition and fatty acid profile of these mushrooms were determined for evaluation of their dietary value. na, k and li contents were high, while cr, cu, pb, co, zn, mn and ni concentrations were low in both agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis. proximate analysis showed th...

ten varieties of iranian soybeans are cultivated in different areas of the country; persia or sahar (sr), hill (hl), williams (wz), gorgan 3 (gn), clarke (kl), hawkey (hk), zaan (zn), harcor (hr), dare (dr) and simes (ss), grown in tropical regions. samples of these 10 varieties were obtained from the institute of plant and seed research. after sample preparation, their oils were extracted and ...
