this study was designed to examine bioactive compounds of the thyme-enriched corn oil and to determine the antioxidant activity of its methanolic extract. volatile compounds composition was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms), whereas phenolic compounds analysis was performed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-hplc). antioxidant activities of t...

The half-life, pool size, and daily synthesis of deoxycholic acid in ten rabbits were 7.0 days, 752 mg, and 75.8 mg, respectively, on the control diet; and 24.1 days, 1010 mg, and 30.2 mg, respectively, on a semi-synthetic diet containing hydrogenated coconut oil. Corresponding values in eight rabbits on a diet in which the hydrogenated coconut oil was replaced by corn oil were 26.9 days, 1164 ...

Background: Water in oil (W/O) nanoemulsions can be advantageous for encapsulation of bioactive hydrophilic substance alone or as a structural unit of a double emulsion. Methods: The influence of sonication time, addition of CaCl2 or bovine serum albumin (BSA) to aqueous phase, oil phase (corn or miglyol), and polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) content on droplet size and physical stability of...

The influence of frying with four different oils (sunflower oil, soybean oil, olive oil, and corn oil) on the fatty acid composition of silver carp was evaluated. The fat content of the fillets increased after frying while the moisture content decreased in all evaluated samples. Mean saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids, ∑ω3, and ∑ω6 contents of raw fish w...

There's a bit of debate as to which oil to drizzle over your food. Common cooking oils, including corn, olive, safflower, and peanut oils are made up of mostly unsaturated (monoand polyunsaturated, to be exact) fats, which are often described as ?healthy fats.? Research suggests that these two types of fat may help lower cholesterol, normalize blood clotting, improve insulin and blood sugar lev...

The many recent dry-grind plants that convert corn to ethanol are potential sources of substantial amounts of corn oil. This report describes an aqueous enzymatic extraction method to separate oil from dry-fractionated corn germ. The method is an extension of a method previously developed for wet-mill germ. Oil dispersed in lipid bodies throughout the germ was converted to oil droplets suspende...

The Wnt signaling pathway plays an essential role in carcinogenesis, and the amount of fat intake and composition of dietary fatty acids are crucial factors for colon carcinogenesis. We investigated whether various dietary fats affected the Wnt signaling pathway of colon tumorigenesis in azoxymethane (AOM)-treated rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given intraperitoneal injections of AOM and s...
