In order to investigate the influence of fatty acid pattern and antioxidants other than vitamin E on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant levels of plasma very low density and low density lipoproteins (VLDL + LDL), the effects of three diets (equalized for vitamin E) containing soybean oil, olive oil, or an oleate-rich mixture of triglycerides (triolein) were studied in rats. A significantly lowe...

Olive and rapeseed oil are both considered beneficial for lipid metabolism because of their high content of monounsaturated fatty acids. We compared postprandial lipid metabolism after test meals with these plant oils including hydrogenated plant oil as a reference. Subjects and Methods: Twenty normolipidemic subjects (age: 25.1±4.9 year, M±SEM, body mass index 21.5±0.6 kg/m) underwent three on...

The present study investigated the effects of dietary cholesterol and monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma lipids and glucose concentrations. Four groups of ten male Wistar albino rats were fed diets of different fatty acid composition for 40 days. The control group consumed nonpurified diet (containing fat 3.7 g/100 g diet), and cholesterol, olive oil, and safflower oil gr...

in the course of the present study, samples were taken from the non-defoliant strain of verticillium dahliae (ss-4) from infected olive groves in toshan area in southern gorgan. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, was recovered from infested olive seedlings and after identification was reaned on tomato seedlings cv. rutgers. during the study, one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars zard...

The performance of olive oil during intermittent frying of potato slices and cod fillets was compared to those of selected vegetable oils (corn, oliveresidue and 50/50 mixture of olive and corn oils) using conditions resembling those used in home food preparations. The main scope of this study was to decide what is the best substitute for olive oil in home frying applications. Free fatty acid c...

The olive tree (Olea europaea), native to the coastal areas of eastern mediterranean basin and parts of Asia, nowadays is cultivated all around the world. The products of olive trees, including olive leaves, fruit and oil, possess high nutritional and medicinal values. The characteristic bioactivities of olive products include antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-hypertension and anti-atherosclerosis...

This work was undertaken to determine the effect of diets enriched with olive oil or high oleic sunflower oil on very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) triacylglycerol composition of healthy human subjects. Both oils contain a similar proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) but differ in their triacylglycerol composition. All 22 human subjects initially consumed a low fat, high carbohydra...

in order to compare the impact of vegetable oils to improve the efficacy of mesosulfuron-methyl + iodososulfuron - methyl + mefenpyr (atlantis)®, a greenhouse experiment of dose-response as factorial experiment in a completely randomized design including concentration 0, 3/75, 7/5, 15, 22/5, and second factor 30 g a.i. ha-1 of atlantis at 13 levels of with and without vegetable oils (each of tw...

Chromatographic techniques such as GC and HPLC are traditionally used for the analysis classification of olive oil, while NMR is another powerful technique. In this paper we first time to classify oil produced by four cultivars, namely ‘Arbequina’, ‘Arbosana’, ‘Koroneiki’, ‘Sikitita’, planted in super-high-density frames California, United States. We compared results with targeted fatty acids t...

enzymatic acidolysis of canola oil through caprylic and capric acids was investigated for making structured lipids. lipozyme tl im, an sn-1,3 specific thermomyce slanuginosa lipase, was utilized as the biocatalyst in the batch reactor. reaction conditions were designed according to taguchi’s method considering fatty acid to oil ratio, at three levels (1:1, 2:1, 3:1) , enzyme load (4, 8 and, 12%...
