Microencapsulation of wheat germ oil

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...

Nutritive Value of Cookies Containing Wheat Germ Oil

Wheat germ, the main fatty component of wheat grain, is characterized by consisting of polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as its elevated content of natural antioxidant i.e. α-tocopherol. Cookies were prepared from wheat germ oil (WGO) with the objective of providing higher antioxidant content in the diet. Normal shortening was replaced with WGO at the levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% in the c...

Study on stability of wheat germ oil and lipase activity

The purpose of the present study was follow the influence of periodical storage (at room temperature, 25-30°C), on the stability of oil including primary and secondary oxidation, total oxidation as well as conjugation. Color intensity at 430 nm of the oil samples was also evaluated to show changes of color during periodical storage. It was generally found peroxide value, panisidine, total oxida...
