To examine whether phytosterols in polyunsaturated oils account for their differential action on lipid metabolism compared with monounsaturated oils, 16 normolipidemic individuals consumed three 10-day experimental diets containing corn oil (high in polyunsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols), olive oil (high in monounsaturated fatty acids and low in phytosterols), or olive oil supplemented w...

Background: One of the major aspects of traceability in food authenticity assessment is to explore practical methods to find the origin of food. Objective: The aim of the present study was to find a DNA based method for authentication and traceability of food, which are of great importance in health management. Methods: Four different DNA extraction methods were applied to obtain high pure DNA...

Olive pomace flour, extra virgin olive oil and hydrolyzed soy protein are ingredients rich in compounds with beneficial health properties, such as phenolic compounds, dietary fiber, amino acids fatty acids. In this sense, the present study aimed to evaluate influence of partial replacement wheat hydrogenated vegetable fat sucrose by protein, respectively, muffin-type cakes. The determination id...

The mixture of olive oil and lime cream has been traditionally used to treat external burns in the region of Hatay/Antakya and middle Anatolia. Olive oil and lime cream have been employed by many physicians to treat many ailments in the past. A limited number of studies have shown the antibacterial effect of olive oil and that it does not have any toxic effect on the skin. But we did not find a...

Olive oil phenolic compounds are potent antioxidants in vitro, but evidence for antioxidant action in vivo is controversial. We examined the role of the phenolic compounds from olive oil on postprandial oxidative stress and LDL antioxidant content. Oral fat loads of 40 mL of similar olive oils, but with high (366 mg/kg), moderate (164 mg/kg), and low (2.7 mg/kg) phenolic content, were administe...

High postprandial levels of TAG may further induce endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in subjects with high fasting levels of TAG, an effect that seems to be related to oxidative stress. The present study investigated whether minor compounds of olive oil with antioxidant activity decrease postprandial levels of soluble isoforms of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) and vascular c...

The production of energy from renewable sources is one the difficulties Morocco faces. Thus, a waste-to-energy system assessed utilizing thermal process in this paper. Among recoverable wastes that Kingdom has an adequate supply are plastic trash generated by expanding automobile sectors and olive pomace, byproduct manufacture oil. These two leftovers can be viewed as feedstocks utilized pyroly...
