The aim of this study was to assess the alterations in plasma, liver, and meat oxidative stability and α-tocopherol content when moderately oxidized sunflower oils were added to feeds and when feeds were supplemented with α-tocopheryl acetate (100 mg/kg) and Zn (200 mg/kg). The effects of cooking the meat and its subsequent refrigeration were also studied. When the content of primary oxidation ...

The Grignard reagent obtained from 2-(6-bromohexyloxy)-tetrahydropyrane, by treatment with anhydrous manganese(II) chloride was transformed to the corresponding organomanganese reagent, which was coupled with E-l-bromo-3-hexeneby treatment with anhydrous manganese chloride. Further deprotection and acetylation furnished E-9-dodecen-l-yl acetate. A second procedure involved the coupling of E-3-h...

The formation of acetate by Acetobacterium woodii was studied systematically in batch-operated stirred-tank reactors at different hydrogen and carbon dioxide partial pressures in the gas phase. 48 parallel stirred-tank reactors on a millilitre-scale as well as stirred-tank reactors on a litre-scale were applied for the detailed reaction engineering analysis of hydrogenotrophic acetate formation...

Catalytic oxidation is a feasible and affordable technology for solvent emission abatement. However, finding optimal operation conditions is important, since they are strongly dependent on the application area of VOC incineration. This paper presents the results of the laboratory experiments concerning four most central parameters, that is, effects of concentration, gas hourly space velocity (G...

Crystals of the title compound, C(22)H(29)NO(5)·C(4)H(8)O(2), {[systematic name: (2R,3R,5R,5aS,6R,8aR,9S)-(5Z)-5-[3-butyl-tetra-hydro-6-methyl-2,5-methano-4,3,8a-[1]propan-yl[3]yl-idene-furo[3,2-f][1,4]oxazepin-7(5H)-yl-idene]-4-meth-oxy-3-methyl-furan-2(5H)-one ethyl acetate solvate} were isolated from the root extracts of Stemona aphylla (Stemonaceae). The structure closely resembles those of...

BACKGROUND Alpha-Tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol are the two major forms of vitamin E in human plasma and the primary lipid soluble antioxidants. The dietary intake of gamma-tocopherol is generally higher than that of alpha-tocopherol. However, alpha-tocopherol plasma levels are about four fold higher than those of gamma-tocopherol. Among other factors, a preferential cellular uptake of gamma-t...

19 The application of a novel industrial process based on the hydrothermal treatment 20 of 160 oC/60 min of alperujo, a by-product of olive oil extraction, allows the formation 21 of a liquid phase containing a high concentration of phenolic and secoiridoid 22 compounds. Ethyl acetate was used to extract these phenolic compounds from the 23 aqueous matrix. The phenols present in high concentrat...

Cantaloupe cultivar variability from various U.S. regions and growing seasons within a given year was evaluated. As expected, there was often considerable quality and volatile variation among cultivars. Eight of 11 cultivars met the standard U.S. No. 1 requirement for degrees Brix (> or =9), and in most cultivars, degrees Brix declined during fresh-cut storage at 4 degrees C. Hunter L (loss of ...

(-)-Bornyl acetate is the main volatile constituent in numerous conifer oils and has a camphoraceous, pine-needle-like odor. It is frequently used as the conifer needle composition in soap, bath products, room sprays, and pharmaceutical products. However, the psychophysiological effects of (-)-bornyl acetate remained unclear. We investigated the effects of breathing air mixed with (-)-bornyl ac...
