Thin layer chromatography (TLC) stained with hot acidic p-anisaldehyde, is an interesting, fast, and low-cost technique to monitor main lipid contaminants such as triacylglycerols, diacylglycerols, and monoacylglycerols in biodiesel. These acylglycerols are detectable by the proposed planar chromatographic method, provided the content of the contaminants exceeds the limits recommended by the in...

Diprivan® is composed of propofol, refined soybean oil and purified egg phosphatide. One must eliminate any allergy to one of its components before use. We report the story of a child who underwent nevus surgery under general anesthesia which was associated with an hypersensitivity reaction. In fact, this child had asthma and allergy to peanuts, raising the problem of cross allergy between birc...

The impact of replacing the sunflower oil in a typical muffin formulation with different protein-based emulsions was investigated. Fundamental rheological measurements indicated significant differences between prepared soy, lupin, and yeast proteins. highest viscosity 2.04 Pa·s registered for lupin emulsion, whereas emulsion exhibited narrowest linear viscoelastic region. influence on thermo-me...

results the mean ± sd of the clonic seizure threshold was 61.84 ± 8.53 in the group that received estradiol, while it was 71.70 ± 10.85 in the control group, 64.69 ± 3.23 in rats with laparotomy without removing the ovaries, 51.30 ± 6.84 in rats with laparotomy and removing the ovaries, 52.7 ± 7.18 in ovariectomized rats that received sesame oil as vehicle, and 59.2 ± 4.91, in the soy groups. t...

the aim of this study is extraction of phenolic compounds from walnut leaves of touyserkani variety with two extraction methods (traditional method and with microwave assisted extraction (mae)) and evaluation of their antioxidant activity. total phenolic contents and antioxidant properties of aqueous, methanol (80%) and ethanol (50%) extracts in different times was determined. at the next stage...

The solubility of acid soluble soy protein (ASSP) is poor in the pH range of 4-7. ASSP-dextran conjugates were prepared through the Maillard reaction to increase the solubility and/or dispersibility of ASSP. By using the conjugates and ultrasonication emulsification, stable oil-in-water emulsions with submicrometer-sized droplets were obtained. The factors, such as ASSP conjugation degree, that...

Compared with soy oil, 10 days treatment with seal oil (SO), 10mLx3 daily, self-administrated through a nasoduodenal feeding tube, relieves joint pain in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This randomized, controlled, double blind pilot trial compares SO and whale oil (WO) administered similarly by duodenal tube, for 10 days in 18 patients with IBD-related joint pain (n=9 per group...

For 1 wk, 3-mo-old male rats were fed a low-starch (5 cal%), high-fat (73 cal%, corn oil) diet followed by a high-glucose-polymer (70 cal%), low-fat (7 cal%, corn oil) or a middle-glucose-polymer (40 cal%), middle-fat (37 cal%, corn oil) diet. Other animals were fed similar diets but with starch or sucrose instead of the glucose polymers. Rats were sacrificed 2 or 7 days later. Food intake, bod...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the energy value of DDGS. In Experiment 1, 360 pigs (each initially 38.5 lb) were used in a 22 d growth assay. Treatments consisted of five corn-soybean meal-based diets with added wheat bran or soy oil to provide five different energy densities ranging from 1,390 to 1,604 Kcal/lb ME. The objective was to use responses to the wide range of energy dens...

The effects of four different canola lecithins applied at proportions of 30 g fatty acid kgÿ1 diet were compared with diets containing either no additional lipid or the same amount of fatty acids from canola seed, pure canola oil and deoiled soy lecithin, respectively. Four types of canola lecithin with increasing dispersibility in water were used: raw; deoiled; deoiled/hydrolysed; and hydrolys...
