tea and sesame seed oils extracted by different methods (including supercritical fluid extraction (sfe), at a pressure of 350 atm, a temperature of 60oc, a static extraction time of 20 minutes, a dynamic extraction time of 30 minutes and 150 g kg-1 of ethanol as a modifier). solvent (se) and ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction (ue)), as natural anti-oxidants, were evaluated during 15 days st...

abstract: degumming and neutralization processes are two essential stages carried out on crude edible oils in order to remove some unwanted impurities namely gums and free fatty acids. in this research study two popular less expensive commercial oils that are consumed to a great extent namely soyabean and sunflower seed oils are selected and subjected to both degumming and neutralization proces...

Aedes aegypti L. is one of the primary disease vectors spreading various dreadful diseases throughout the world, specifically over tropics and subtropics. Keeping in view the adverse effects of chemical insecticides-based intervention measures, the eco-friendly and bio-degradable essential oil extracted from the seeds of celery, Apium graveolens were investigated for its efficacy against Ae. ae...

Seed yield and oil content are two important agricultural characteristics in oil crop breeding, and a lot of functional gene research is being concentrated on increasing these factors. In this study, by differential gene expression analyses between rapeseed lines (zy036 and 51070) which exhibit different levels of seed oil production, BnGRF2 (Brassica napus growth-regulating factor 2-like gene)...

Seed endosperm development in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is under control of the polycomb group complex, which includes Fertilization Independent Endosperm (FIE). The polycomb group complex regulates downstream factors, e.g. Pheres1 (PHE1), by genomic imprinting. In heterozygous fie mutants, an endosperm develops in ovules carrying a maternal fie allele without fertilization, finally le...

Rambutan is a popular fruit widely cultivated in South East Asia. Rambutan seed is a by-product in canned fruit industry. The seed is rich in oil content. Rambutan seed oil contained high level of unsaturated fatty acids which are highly susceptible to microbiological, chemical and biochemical deteriorations. Oil microencapsulation is a popular method to prevent the change of oil quality during...

Preplant soil fumigation has been the standard treatment for the control of perennial crop replant diseases, including apple replant disease (8,10). Although significant effort has been invested in the development of alternatives to soil fumigation for control of replant diseases (5,21– 23,26–28,30,31), there continues to be a lack of effective and economically feasible nonfumigant control stra...

this experiment was lay out in order to evaluate the effects of different biofertilizers on seed yield, protein and oil of rapeseed in iran. the experiment was a factorial design with three replications. treatments were four nitrogen biofrtilizers (control (n1), nitroksin (n2), azotobacter (n3) and supernitroplat (n4)) and three phosphate biofrtilizers ( control(p1), biosfer phosphate (p2) and ...

Despite the importance of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in the world, this crop has received least research attention in Pakistan. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance of tillage system under various irrigation intervals and phosphorus levels on oil contents, yield and yield attributes of Sesame. The experiment was conducted at New Developmental Farm of the Un...
