Forty Large White barrows were used to determine whether the effects of dietary fat source (tallow or soy oil at 5% of the diet) on lipogenesis and fatty acid profile of porcine adipose and lean tissue were dependent on dietary digestible energy density (8.8 vs 14.0 MJ DE/kg). Barrows were allocated to one of four groups and offered a fixed amount of feed (170 g x BW0.569/d) from 27 to 105 kg B...

Aqueous extraction processing (AEP) of soy is a promising green alternative to hexane extraction processing. To improve AEP oil yields, experiments were conducted to probe the mechanisms of oil release. Microscopy of extruded soy before and after extraction with and without protease indicated that unextracted oil is sequestered in an insoluble matrix of denatured protein and is released by prot...

Chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) produced by hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of chitin were used as stabilizing agent for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsification soybean oil (SO), acrylated (ASO), and epoxidized (ESO). The emulsion stability, droplet size, rheology the found to be significantly affected chemical structure. Strong interaction between ChNCs droplets enhanced efficiency through a Pickering effe...

To test the hypothesis that dietary fats may improve tractability of horses, the effects of four total mixed diets on behavior were compared. The control diet (CON) contained chopped hay, corn, oats, beet pulp, molasses and a mineral mix; the three test diets contained an additional 10% (by weight) corn oil (CO), soy lecithin-corn oil (SL-CO), or soy lecithin-soy oil (SL-SO). Eight horses were ...

Biocompatible hydrogels are used in a variety of biomedical applications, including tissue scaffolds, drug delivery systems, lab/organ-on-a-chips, biosensors, cell-culture studies and contact lenses. The demand for novel functional monomers to be hydrogel synthesis is increasing as the number applications need biomaterials increase. purpose study was develop from renewable materials. Acrylated ...

An ultrasound and microwave assisted alternant extraction method (UMAE) was applied for extracting dihydroquercetin (DHQ) from Larix gmelinii wood. This investigation was conducted using 60% ethanol as solvent, 1:12 solid to liquid ratio, and 3 h soaking time. The optimum treatment time was ultrasound 40 min, microwave 20 min, respectively, and the extraction was performed once. Under the optim...

This is a report of an investigation on the influence of ingested fats on the sterol metabolism of the white rat. No summation of the literature on sterol metabolism will be given, because the subject has been so recently reviewed by Bills (1). Only those contributions pertinent to this paper will be referred to. The procedure adopted was to place young litter mates on vegetable diets. This was...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and the ratio of linoleic:linolenic acid on long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid status. Thirty-two 31-wk-old White Leghorn hens were randomly assigned to four diets containing 8.2% soy oil, 4.1% soy oil + 2.5% CLA (4.1% CLA source), 4.1% flax oil + 2.5% CLA, or 4.1% soy oil + 4.1% flax oil. Hens were fed ...

A novel soy-based epoxy resin system was synthesized by the process of transesterification and epoxidation of regular soy bean oil, which has the potential to be widely usable in various composite manufacturing processes. Cure kinetics and rheology are two chemical properties commonly required in process modeling. In this work, the cure kinetics and rheology of the soy-based resin system were m...

This study aims to design an alternative way for the laminated fabric manufacturing with a cleaner production method, by using bio-based coating formulation and time/cost saving, environmentally friendly UV-curing technology, compared conventional petroleum based, heat solvent requiring laminating process. For this purpose, acrylated epoxidized soybean oil oligomer was synthesized included in f...
