The oxidative stability indices (OSI) of several vegetable oils were determined at 11O°e. Meadowfoam oil, Limnanthes alba, was found to be the most stable oil with an OSI time of 67.3 h for refined oil and 246.9 h for crude oil. Other oils with good oxidative stabilities were refined high oleic sunflower and crude jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis) with OSI times of 49.8 and 34.5 h respectively....

Japan’s oilseed sector is divided into two main components: 1) a large oilseed-crushing industry that produces vegetable oil and oilseed meal, and 2) industries using oilseeds for food, without crushing them for oil. In general, the oilseed-crushing industry is protected by tariffs on vegetable oil at the border, but receives no domestic subsidies. Oilseed production for food, in contrast, gene...

Background: To examine the associations of ethnicity, acculturation variables and education level with diet in Surinamese (South Asian and Afro-Caribbean origin) and ethnic Dutch residents of the Netherlands. Methods: We included 1528 randomly selected men and women aged 35-60yrs. Intakes of fruit, vegetables, red meat, fish, vegetable oils, breakfast and salt were measured using a short questi...

Fat is generally a highly valued element of the diet to provide energy, palatability to dry foods or to serve as a cooking medium. However, some foods rich in fat have a low fat quality with respect to nutrition, i.e., a relative high content of saturated (SFA) as compared to unsaturated fatty acids, whereas others have a more desirable fat quality, i.e., a relative high content of unsaturated ...

Raw white rice has not been considered a good carrier for oral vaccination, probably because of its antiviral activity. Methods are required to overcome antiviral activity in raw white rice. This study was carried out to determine the effects of various treatments of raw white rice on the survival of strain I-2 of Newcastle disease virus. These included cooking and baking the rice or mixing the...

The concentration of heavy metals in vegetable oils is an important criterion for the assessment of oil qualities with regard to freshness, keeping properties, storage and their influence on human nutrition and health. Trace heavy metals in vegetable oils are known to have an effect on the rate of oil oxidation. In this work, the contents of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn),...

3-monochoropropane-1, 2-diol (3-MCPD) and 2-monochloropropane-1,3-diol (2-MCPD) and glycidol esters (GE) have been known as food contaminants. These compounds are formed during high-temperature process of different food products such as coffee, edible oils, infant formula, potato based products, bakery products, malt, cooked meats, soy sauces and pickles. In vegetable oils, these compounds are ...

Scientists and tribologists are currently exploring sustainable inexhaustible lubricants as a result of increased awareness environmental health-related issues. Vegetable oils being investigated potential form environmentally friendly cutting fluids due to their excellent renewability, biodegradability, lubricating performance. This report provides an overview different vegetable used in the ma...

Trans fat is a unsaturated fatty acid with trans configuration and separated double bonds. Analytical methods have been introduced to analyze trans fat content in foods including infrared (IR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography (GC), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, reverses-phase silver ion high performance liquid chromatography, and silver nitrate thin layer chromatography. Curr...
