Electronic nose and data analysis for detection of maize oil adulteration in sesame oil

An “electronic nose” has been used for the detection of adulterations of sesame oil. The system, comprising 10 metal oxide semiconductor ensors, was used to generate a pattern of the volatile compounds present in the samples. Prior to different supervised pattern recognition treatments, eature extraction techniques were employed to choose a set of optimal discriminant variables. Principal compo...

Methods Used for Extraction of Maize (zea Mays, L.) Germ Oil-a Review

Maize oil is high in polyunsaturated fat, which is a heart-healthy fat, and low in saturated fat. Extraction of oils from oilseeds is a key step for their commercialization. The extraction process has a direct effect on the quality and quantity of protein and oils obtained. Various methods like cold pressing, solvent, super-critical fluid and aqueous extractions are in practice for oilseed extr...

Duplicate maize Wrinkled1 transcription factors activate target genes involved in seed oil biosynthesis.

WRINKLED1 (WRI1), a key regulator of seed oil biosynthesis in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), was duplicated during the genome amplification of the cereal ancestor genome 90 million years ago. Both maize (Zea mays) coorthologs ZmWri1a and ZmWri1b show a strong transcriptional induction during the early filling stage of the embryo and complement the reduced fatty acid content of Arabidopsis ...

Rapid and accurate identification of in vivo-induced haploid seeds based on oil content in maize

The needs of a growing human population require rapid and efficient development of improved cultivars by plant breeders. The doubled haploid (DH) technology enables generating completely homozygous lines in a single step and, thus, is central to modern genetics and breeding approaches. Rapid and reliable identification of seeds with a haploid embryo after in vivo haploid induction is elementary...
