Useful medicinal and chemical properties of different parts of Eriobotrya Japonica seeds including flowers, fruits, and leaves have been investigated. In this study, fat content, moisture, unsaponifiable matter, saponification and iodine values, free fatty acid compound, individual sterols, antioxidant activity, total phenol, tannin, and flavonoids content, and detection and quantification of p...

Industrials interest in fats as raw material, resides in their exceptional quality and potentialities of exploitation in several fields. This study aimed to exalt the optimized shea butter quality and present its wide potentialities of utilization. Hence, the characteristics of beige and yellow optimized shea butters were determined. Both samples recorded very weak acid (0.280 ± 0.001 and 0.140...

IN continuance of previous studies of factors affecting the nature and amount of the unsaponifiable fractions of liver, it was shown that n-hexadecane is absorbed from the alimentary tract of the rat to the extent of 50 to 108 mg. daily, depending on the quantity of hydrocarbon included in the diet [Mahdi and Channon, 1933]. This result is of interest in relation to fat absorption, because it i...

The distribution of 14C in the unsaponifiable (neutral) and saponifiable (acidic) components of tissue lipids was examined 4, 24, and 72 hours after the subcutaneous injection of [2-14C]mevalonate into g-day-old rats. Of the total radioactivity contained in the unsaponifiable plus saponifiable material, 7 to 33% was in the acidic fraction obtained from the brain, spinal cord, and the skin, most...

In this study, moisture content, free fatty acids, peroxide, iodine value, unsaponifiable matter, saponification value, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of wheat germ oil obtained by SC-CO2 extraction and cold press technology were investigated. Moisture, free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value, iodine value, unsaponifiable matter and saponification value of cold pres...
