Utilization of Soybean Lecithin as Agricultural Fungicides

Effects of dietary soybean lecithin on growth performance, feed utilization and hematological parameters of juvenile sobaity seabream (Sparidentex hasta)

The current study aimed to evaluate effects of four levels (0, 2, 4 and 6 % of diet) of soybean lecithin in the isoproteic and isoenergitic (50% protein and 18.5 kj/g) diets on growth performance, feed utilization and hematological parameters of juvenile sobaity seabream (Sparidentex hasta) with initial weight of 37.9±0.16 g. At the end of 56 days of feeding trial, results showed that growth pe...

Optimization of continuous hydrogenation of soybean lecithin using factorial design

Soybean lecithin containing a mixture of phospholipids (PLs) is an important co product obtained during soybean oil refining. Saturated rich PLs find several applications in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical areas. The present study reports a simple, rapid, efficient and continuous hydrogenation process using 10% Pd/C catalyst at various temperatures and pressures. Degree of hydrogenation was m...

Chemosensitization of Plant Pathogenic Fungi to Agricultural Fungicides

A common consequence of using agricultural fungicides is the development of resistance by fungal pathogens, which undermines reliability of fungicidal effectiveness. A potentially new strategy to aid in overcoming or minimizing this problem is enhancement of pathogen sensitivity to fungicides, or "chemosensitization." Chemosensitization can be accomplished by combining a commercial fungicide wi...
