EVALUATION OF A LOCALLY MADE WHEAT GERM OIL EXTRACTING MACHINE

A Growth Deficiency Disease, Curable by Wheat Germ Oil*

The advances made in the purification of the vitamins have provided an improved method of approach toward the study of the number, as well as nature, of the essential food factors. Because of the uncertain composition of the vitamin B complex, it is as yet very difficult to test for additional water-soluble components of the ultimate purified diet. The fat-soluble group, however, appears less c...

Supercritcal Fluid Extraction, Fractionation, and Characterization of Wheat Germ Oil

On the production of sarcoma with wheat germ oil.

Following the announcement by Rowntree, Lansbury, and Steinberg (15) of the development of sarcoma within the peritoneal cavity of albino rats to which ether-extracted wheat germ oil had been fed, and the simultaneous appearance of a confirmatory publication by Dorrance and Ciccone (10), various investigators (1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11-14, 21, 22) attempted to produce tumors in this manner, but to no a...

Extraction of oil from wheat germ by supercritical CO2.

This study examined the supercritical fluid extraction of wheat germ oil. The effects of pressure (200-300 bar at 40 degrees C) and extraction time on the oil quality/quantity were studied. A comparison was also made between the relative qualities of material obtained by SFE and by organic solvent extraction. The extracts were analyzed for alpha-tocopherol and polyunsaturated fatty acid content...
