Accumulation of information about natural hybridization between GM soybean (Glycine max) and wild soybean (Glycine soja) is required for risk assessment evaluation and to establish biosafety regulations in Japan. This is particularly important in areas where wild relatives of cultivated soybean are grown (i.e. East Asia including Japan). To collect information on temporal and spatial factors af...

Mannosylerythritol lipid-A (MEL-A) is a glycolipid biosurfactant abundantly produced from soybean oil by microorganisms at a yield of up to 100 g/L. In this study, the formation of water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion based on the single component of MEL-A was confirmed using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and freeze fracture electron microscopy (FF-EM). DLS and FF-EM measurements revealed that the...

Heras, J.M., M.L. Marina, and M.C. Garcia, Development of a Perfusion Ion-Exchange Chromatography Method for the Separation of Soybean Proteins and Its Application to Cultivar Identification, J. Chromatogr. A 1153:97–103, 2007. Fractionation of soybean proteins has been obtained using a developed method of perfusion ion-exchange chromatography. The method comprises a two-step gradient optimized...

The growing worldwide prevalence of food allergies is drawing attention to the risk of allergenic proteins found in intravenous medicinal products, particularly anaesthetics. Propofol induced anaphylaxis has been described. The presence of soybean oil and egg lecithins in the lipid emulsion highlights their suspected responsibility in certain cases. We report a case of anaphylaxis to propofol i...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of emulsifiers such as lecithin and bile salts onbroilers performances fed diet containing vegetable fats. 192 male ross broiler chickens were randomlyallocated in a factorial experiment design of 3 × 2, consisting two sources of fat (four percent fatty acidsor soy bean oil) and three emulsifiers (none, one percent lecithin and 0.05 percent b...

The role of ethanolamine plasmalogen extracted from bovine brain (BBEP) in maintaining oxidative stability of bulk soybean oil and liposome made with egg phospholipids (PL) was studied. In a purified soybean oil (PSO), the addition of 200 and 1000 ppm of BBEP promoted lipid oxidation at rates of 0.037 and 0.071 (all rates in ln (PV) h(-1), and PV stands for peroxide value), whereas soy lecithin...
