The oils of some unconventional oilseeds (hemp, radish, terebinth, stinging nettle, laurel) were obtained by a cold-press method in which the total oil content, fatty acids, tocopherol isomers, some metal contents (Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu), antioxidant activity and oxidative stability were determined. The total oil content was determined ranging between 30.68 and 43.12%, and the oil samples had large am...

Abstract—Biodiesel is one of the alternative fuels that promising for substituting petro diesel as energy source which is advantage on sustainability and ecofriendly. Due to the raw material that tend to decompose during storage, biodiesel also have the same characteristic that tend to decompose and formed higher acid value which is the result of oxidation to double bond on a chain of ester. De...

The aim of this work was to compare the positional fatty acid composition, sterols, tocopherols and oxidative stability of mustard oil (MO) and rapeseed oil (RSO). The MO contained higher levels of erucic acid (42.8%) and linolenic acid (18.2%), compared with RSO (0.4 and 8.6%) whereas the RSO contained higher levels of oleic acid (62.2%) and linoleic acid (19.5%), than that of MO (17.4 and 15....

in recent years the use of toxic and carcinogenic synthetic antioxidants are recommended to get limited. therefore, the use of natural resource materials as an alternative substitution for synthetic compounds is indispensable. throughout the present study, antioxidation properties of fennel essential oil, at different concentrations containing 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 mg/ml in ...

Several fatty acid alkyl esters were subjected to accelerated methods of oxidation, including EN 14112 (Rancimat method) and pressurized differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC). Structural trends elucidated from both methods that improved oxidative stability included decreasing the number of double bonds, introduction of trans as opposed to cis unsaturation, location of unsaturation closer to ...

Bioactive compounds extracted from natural sources can benefit human health. The aim of this work was to determine total phenolic content and antioxidant activity in extracts of Euphorbia tirucalli L. followed by identification and quantification of the phenolic compounds, as well as their antibacterial activities. Antioxidant activities were determined by DPPH and ABTS(•+) assay. Identificatio...
