Changes in selected oxysterols in powdered foodstuffs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present research consisted of producing 3 types of powdered concentrates: the dairy, the egg and the dairy-egg (produced from a blend of raw liquid milk and liquid eggs). The dairy-egg powder was produced in order to facilitate formulation of dry food mixes. Powders were vacuumpackaged and packaged in air atmosphere and stored for 24 months. Changes in contents of selected oxysterols (determined by gas chromatography) were recorded. Regardless of the packaging type, the predominant oxysterol in the dairy-egg powder was α-epoxy-C (7.679 and 5.600 μg/g powder, respectively).

Evaluation of Thermal Conductivities of Some Selected Powdered Food Products and Their Mixtures
This paper reports on the experimental determination of the thermal conductivities of some selected powdered food stuffs and their mixtures. The foodstuffs considered are: guinea corn flour, rice flour, maize flour, beans flour, cassava flour and yam flour. One to one mixtures of these foodstuffs were made in equal ratios to give mixtures of rice and beans flour, cassava and guinea corn flour a...
متن کاملWide Range of Biotin (Vitamin H) Content in Foodstuffs and Powdered Milks as Assessed by High-performance Affinity Chromatography
The biotin (vitamin H) contents of various foodstuffs were determined by using a newly developed high-performance affinity chromatography with a trypsin-treated avidin-bound column. Biotin was derivatized with 9-anthryldiazomethane (ADAM) to fluorescent biotin-ADAM ester. A wide range of biotin contents were found in various foodstuffs depending upon the species (strain), season, organ (of plan...
متن کاملSide effects of oxysterols: cytotoxicity, oxidation, inflammation, and phospholipidosis.
Oxysterols are 27-carbon atom molecules resulting from autoxidation or enzymatic oxidation of cholesterol. They are present in numerous foodstuffs and have been demonstrated to be present at increased levels in the plasma of patients with cardiovascular diseases and in atherosclerotic lesions. Thus, their role in lipid disorders is widely suspected, and they might also be involved in important ...
متن کاملInteraction between sphingomyelin and oxysterols contributes to atherosclerosis and sudden death.
Despite major public health efforts, coronary heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States. Oxidized lipids contribute to heart disease both by increasing deposition of calcium on the arterial wall, a major hallmark of atherosclerosis, and by interrupting blood flow, a major contributor to heart attack and sudden death. Oxidized cholesterol (oxysterols) enhances...
متن کاملGood COP, bad COP: an unsolved murder. Are dietary cholesterol oxidation products guilty of atherogenicity?
The link between elevated plasma cholesterol concentrations and atherosclerosis is well established, but the role of cholesterol oxidation products (COP), also termed oxysterols, is still controversial. Relevant, extensive reviews include those of Brown & Jessup (1999), Schroepfer (2000), Björkhem & Diczfalusy (2002) and Garcia-Cruset et al. (2002). Oxysterols appear to be atherogenic in some, ...
