this study investigated the fatty acids profile, oxidative stability indices, and bioactive compounds of virgin and processed olive oils (leccino and frantoio cultivars). results showed that fatty acid profile of the studied oils contained mostly oleic acid followed by palmitic and linoleic acid. acid values of virgin frantoio and processed leccino were 0.78 and 0.18 mg koh/g oil, with peroxide...

background: combination of glycation and oxidation is associated with diabetes mellitus. the aim of this study was to clarify the effect of glycated proteins in presence of transition metal ions on production of reactive oxygen species (ros) in rat hepatocyte suspension.  methods: glycated albumin was prepared by incubation of bovine serum albumin with 100 mm glucose in 0.3 m phosphate buffer a...

Little data exists on cadmium (Cd) accumulation in many plant species now commonly used as animal forages in New Zealand livestock grazing systems. A glasshouse trial was undertaken on 12 forage species to address this knowledge gap. Mean tissue Cd concentration decreased in the order chicory > plantain > turnip > lucerne > sheep’s burnet > strawberry clover > kale > perennial ryegrass > haresf...

A correlation has been established between production of specific phenylphenalenones and resistance of various banana and plantain varieties towards certain pathogens. In addition a dihydrotrihydroxyphenylphenalene was isolated from the resistant 'Pelipita' plantain variety in relatively high concentrations and its structure and relative configuration were assigned on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR...
