The photosynthetic apparatus of higher plants consists of discrete cytoplasmic organelles, the chloroplasts, which contain proteins, lipids, pigments, water. and other substances. Relatively little is known, apparently, concerning the composition of the lipid fraction of the chloroplast. Menke (8), studying chloroplasts of spinach, Spiniacia oleracea, found that essentially all the lipids of th...

abstract for evaluating nacl salinity effect on some physiological and qualitative attributes of five winter canola cultivars, an experiment was conducted in a rcd base factorial in three replicates in greenhouse of east azarbaijan agricultural research center in 2008. five salinity levels as 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mm nacl treated as first factor on five rape seed (fornax, licord, elite, slm04...

This study was conducted to evaluate the period of chromium yeast supplementation on lipid profile backfat and Longissimus lumborum muscle barrows. It evaluated carcass samples from forty barrows, genetically similar. Pigs diets were supplemented with 0.4 mg kg-1 in four periods (0, 38, 62 94 days before slaughter). The experimental design completely randomized treatments, ten replicates, each ...

The present study aims to assess the effect of Thiobacillus and sulfur on morphological and biochemical properties of medicinal pumpkinproperties under deficit irrigation based on a split-plot design. For this purpose, water stress was applied as a main factor in three levels (control, no irrigation in flowering stage, no irrigation in fruiting), and Thiobacillus and sulfur fertilizers as sub-p...

In the present study, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities, as well fatty acids composition in vegetable seed oils from linseed, purslane, luffa, pumpkin were evaluated. For this purpose, two linseed one luffa oil commercially obtained, while purslane obtained own cultivated seeds. The results showed a variable among tested oils, with α-linolenic, linoleic, oleic, palmitic, stearic acid being...

High oleic soybean (HOSBO) and low linolenic acid soybean (LLSBO) oils were evaluated individually and in a 1:1 blend along with cottonseed oil (CSO) to determine frying oil stabilities and the flavor quality and stability of potato chips. Potato chips were fried in the oils for a total of 25 h. Potato chips and oils were sampled periodically for sensory data, gas chromatographic volatile compo...

Unsaturated C18 fatty acids, particularly oleic, are known to inhibit the growth of a great variety of bacteria (see Humfeld, 1947, for literature summary). In contrast, virtually nothing is known of the effect of such agents on the germination of spores preparatory to vegetative development. Castor soap has been reported inhibitory to Clostridium botulinum (Gibbs et al., 1926), but it is not c...

Previous work has shown that undissociated forms of organic acids, such as formic, acetic, and propionic acids, increase the permeability of barley roots to ions. The work here was undertaken to test whether these undissociated acids affect the lipids from the root membranes in such a way as to account for the permeability increase. Relative amounts of the principal fatty acids from barley root...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become an important public concern due to its increasing prevalence. An altered fatty acid composition has been associated with MetS, but the Mediterranean diet has been shown to have a protective effect. The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of a Mediterranean dietary pattern, as assessed by the biomarkers of food supplied, on...

Crifhidia fasciculata, Crifhidia oncopelti, Crifhidia luciliae, Crithidia sp. from Arilus crisfafus, Crifhidia acanthocephali, Blastocrifhidia culicis, Leishmania tarenfolae, and Lepfomonas Zepfoglossi were grown under axenic conditions in chemically defined media, and their fatty acids were determined. Palmitic, stearic, and a Cl9 cyclopropane acid were the major saturated fatty acids. Oleic, ...
