We have previously shown that beta-very low density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL) incubated with bovine aortic endothelial cells (ECs) is bound and internalized more readily by cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) than is beta-VLDL incubated in the absence of ECs, resulting in enhanced accumulation of cholesterol. To investigate the mechanism by which this occurs, beta-VLDL from hypercho...

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is one of the most commonly reported biomarkers of lipid peroxidation in clinical studies. The reaction of thiobarbituric acid (TBA) with MDA to yield a pink chromogen attributable to an MDA-TBA₂ adduct is a common assay approach with products being quantified by ultraviolet-Vis assay as nonspecific TBA-reactive substances (TBARS) or chromatographically as MDA. The specifi...

This study evaluated the 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method for the measurement of lipid oxidation in samples of mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM), both gamma irradiated with doses of 4.0 and 5.0 kGy and non-irradiated. The values for the percent recuperation of 1,1,3,3tetraethoxy-propane (TEP) and for the conversion factor K for the samples irradiated with doses of 4.0 and 5.0 kGy and t...

Ginseng cultivated and grown naturally under mountainous forest is formally called "Lin-Xia-Shan-Shen" (LXSS) and grown in manual condition is called garden ginseng (GG) according to Chinese pharmacopoeia (2010 edition). Usually the growing condition of LXSS is similar to wild ginseng and mostly used in Chinese folks in ancient times. The antioxidant properties of LXSS with different growing ye...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of various kinds of salt on the quality and storage characteristics of tteokgalbi. The tteokgalbi was prepared using four types of salt: 1.5% purified salt (control, C), 1.5% five-year-old solar salt (FS), 1.5% Topan solar salt (TS), and 1.5% French Guérande solar salt (GS). The moisture, crude lipid, crude ash, crude protein and calorie conten...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of olive leaf extracts and synthetic antioxidant bht at concentration of 1% at increase the shelf life of rainbow trout fillets in light salted and packed at 4±1 °c that index of peroxide (pv), free fatty acids (ffa), thiobarbituric acid (tba), humidity, ph and sensory evaluation of fillets of rainbow trout kept in the refrigerator at the time of...

in this study, the antioxidant activity and protective effects of purslane seed water-methanolic extract (pswme) in stabilizing soybean oil (sbo) were tested. dpph radical scavenging activity of pswme at different concentrations varied significantly (p< 0.05), ranging from 15.41% to 79.06%. total phenolic content in pswme was 121.09 mg gallic acid equivalent (gae) kg-1 dw. the protective effect...

This study evaluated the ability of fennel extract to improve the quality of refrigerated minced silver carp over a period of 16 days. Minced silver carp were treated with fennel extract (0.5, 1 and 1.5% w/w), and beta-hydroxy toluene (BHT 200 ppm). The control and the treated fish samples were analyzed periodically (every 4 days) by chemical analysis (Peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (...

We supplemented diets with α-tocopheryl acetate (100 mg/kg) and replaced beef tallow (BT) in feeds with increasing doses of n-6- or n-3-rich vegetable fat sources (linseed and sunflower oil), and studied the effects on the fatty acid (FA) composition, the α-tocopherol (αT) content and the oxidative stability of rabbit plasma and liver. These effects were compared with those observed in a previo...

The study was conducted to find out the effect of adding different levels sodium alginate on sensory, physicochemical, biochemical and microbiological properties fresh preserved chicken sausage. Chicken sausage samples were divided into three treatment groups: T1 (Control group), T2 (2% alginate) T3 (4% alginate). sensory qualities like color, juiciness, tenderness overall acceptability increas...
