Effects of various emulsification methods on the oxidation of methyl linoleate.

Oxidation Kinetics of Methyl Linoleate and α-Linolenate in Bulk and Oil-in-water Emulsion Systems

Preparation and Characterization of Poly-(methyl ethyl cyanoacrylate) Particles Containing 5-Aminosalicylic acid

Poly-(alkylcyanoacrylate) ester particles have been used for the preparation of different formulations ranging from ophthalmic delivery systems to cancer chemotherapy carriers in clinic. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize poly-(methyl ethyl cyanoacrylate) (PMECA) particles containing 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). PMECA particles were prepared using the inverse emulsification...

Fatty Acid Composition and Toxicity of Melia azedarach L. Fruits against Malaria Vector Anopheles stephensi

      The fruit of Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) was extracted with hexane, and its fatty acids methyl ester was analyzed using GC/MS. Thirteen components representing 85.1% of the total extract were identified. The major components identified were methyl palmitate (18.8%), methyl linolenate (16.1%) and methyl linoleate (9.8%). The fruits’ extract had a LC50 of 5.5 ppm agai...

Antioxidant activity of beta-carotene-related carotenoids in solution.

The effect of the antioxidant activity of beta-carotene and related carotenoids on the free radical-oxidation of methyl linoleate in solution was examined by measuring the production of methyl linoleate hydroperoxides. Canthaxanthin and astaxanthin which possess oxo groups at the 4 and 4'-positions in the beta-ionone ring retarded the hydroperoxide formation more efficiently than beta-carotene ...
