To combat vitamin D insufficiency in a population, reliable diet sources of vitamin D are required. The recommendations to consume more oily fish and the use of UVB-treated yeast are already applied strategies to address vitamin D insufficiency. This study aimed to elucidate the suitability of plant oils as an alternative vitamin D source. Therefore, plant oils that are commonly used in human n...

Article history: Received on: 26/10/2016 Accepted on: 30/12/2016 Available online: 30/05/2017 The protective effect of wheat germ oil (WGO) as a natural antioxidant was evaluated against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced nephrotoxicity, genotoxicity and alterations in gene expression in mice kidney. WGO group: received olive oil orally for 2 days then WGO orally for 8 days, CCl4 group: receiv...

Lubrication oil plays a decisive role to maintain a reliable and efficient operation of gear transmissions. Many offline methods have been developed to monitor the quality of lubricating oils. This work focus on developing a novel online method to diagnose oil degradation based on the measurements from power supply system to the gearbox. Experimental studies based on an 10kW industrial gearbox ...

Vegetable oils are a source of natural antioxidants, including tocopherols, sterols, phenolic compounds, coenzymes, and polyunsaturated fatty acids that provide nutritional value, organoleptic properties, significantly delay or prevent lipid oxidation. Eighty-four V-line rabbits at 5 weeks age with an initial body weight (BW) 535.60 ± 13.48 g were assigned randomly to four experimental groups (...

A process flowsheet was developed in ChemCad 6.4 to study the effect of feed moisture contents on the pre-esterification of waste oils. Waste oils were modelled as a mixture of triolein (90%), oleic acid (5%) and water (5%). The process mainly consisted of feed drying, pre-esterification reaction and methanol recovery. The results showed that the process energy requirements would be minimized w...

Expert systems have experienced tremendous growth and popularity since their commercial introduction in the early 1980’s. Today, expert systems are used in business, science, engineering, manufacturing, medical diagnosing, chemical, and many other fields. Mechanical engineers are the major users, expert systems, are finding rapid application in industry for such tasks as analysis of quality con...

In the literature, there are several empirical models to estimate the higher heating values of vegetable oils and biodiesel fuels. In this study, five of these models found in the literature were used to estimate the higher heating value of waste frying oils. When some models are used to estimate HHVs of waste frying oils, the relative errors were found up to 5% compared to the values obtained ...
