In this study, the oil contents, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of sesame seed and oils belong to different countries were determined. The oil contents of materials changed between 49.22% (India) and 56.16% (Nigeria-Kanu). The major saturated fatty acids in sesame seed oils were palmitic (6.06-9.03%), stearic (5.29-6.42%) acids with small 20:0 (0.19-0.71%) acids. The main un...

Ten tocotrienol derivatives, i.e., amplexichromanols (1-10), were isolated from stem bark of Garcinia amplexicaulis Vieill. ex Pierre collected in Caledonia. The structures of the compounds 1-5 were determined to be chromanol derivatives substituted by a polyprenyl chain oxidized in terminal position. The remaining compounds 6-10 are the corresponding dimeric derivatives. Eleven known compounds...

An upgraded spectral motional Stark effect diagnostic has been installed on the gas-dynamic trap (GDT) experiment to enable spatially resolved measurement of |B|. A new low-noise charge-coupled device detector, combined with enhancements of the diagnostic neutral beam, allows single-shot profile measurements. Previously only single-point motional Stark effect measurements were possible, and det...

Edible oils contain variable amounts of natural antioxidants such as vitamin E. Antioxidants act not only to prevent lipid peroxidation and free-radical production, but also display potent anticancer activity. The vitamin E family of compounds is divided into two subgroups called tocopherols and tocotrienols, but only tocotrienols display potent anticancer activity at treatment doses that have ...

The utilization of palm oil products in Indonesia is still limited to the production crude (CPO) and food products, while derivative such as red (RPO) have not been a concern. RPO consists palmitate, -tocopherol, oleic, -tocotrienols, linoleate, carotene, -tocotrienol, -tocotrienol compounds, these compounds act like vitamins antioxidants. aim this article examine potential for developing oil-b...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease, which progresses over time, causing pathological depigmentation of the substantia nigra (SN) in midbrain due to loss dopaminergic neurons. Emerging studies revealed promising effects some nutrient compounds reducing risk PD. One such compound that possess neuroprotective and prevents neurodegeneration tocotrienol (T3), vitami...
