Assessing Rodent Gnawing of Elastomers Containing Soybean Oil Derivatives

Microbial conversion of sterol-containing soybean oil production waste

Soybean extract residue (scum), a waste of soybean oil production, was examined as a raw material for C17-ketosteroid production. As a model process, its bioconversion to 9α-hydroxyandrost4-ene-3,17-dione (9-OH-AD) by Mycobacterium sp VKM Ac-1817D was studied. The content of transformable sterols (sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol) in scum was estimated at ∼14%. The bioconversion of scum...

Novel modified soybean oil containing hydrazino-ester: synthesis and characterization

A novel synthetic approach for chemical modification of vegetable oils is presented. The structural modification is carried out using diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) in the absence of catalyst and solvent. In a microwave oven the reaction can be achieved in 5–15 minutes. The reaction can also proceed using conventional heat, albeit for a longer time. The products are characterized by H, C, and ...

Effect of Crude Soybean Oil Sediment as a Substitute for Refined Soybean Oil in Broiler Diet

Four hundred fifty day old unsexed broiler chicks were used in a 35-day trial at Chittagong veterinary and animal sciences university farm to find out the effect of using crude soybean oil sediment (CSOS) as a substitute for refined soybean oil (RSO) in broiler diet. The experiment was carried out following completely randomized design. The chicks were randomly distributed in three treatment gr...
