Phospholipase C catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-3 phosphate head group in phospholipids including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyletanolamine, and phosphatidylserine with the formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol and water soluble phosphate esters phosphorylcholine, phosphorylethanolamine, and phosphorylserine. Phospholipase C from P. pastoris is intended for use in the refining of soybean oil an...

The purpose of this project research is focused on the study of surface roughness and chip formation during milling operation of Mild Steel using vegetable based oil as a lubricant. Experimental set up designed by using milling machine. Taguchi Method of Orthogonal Array with factorial design of experiments used to analysis the response. Surface roughness and chip formation predicting models wa...

Pine-needle oil inhibits feeding in vertebrate species through sensory cues. Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) significantly decreased their ingestion of raw apple pieces when pineneedle oil (10% vol/vol) was applied as a repellent coating. During single-choice tests, voles selected similar amounts of sunflower seeds from pine-needle oil-scented jars and vegetable oiltreated jars. However, w...

The potential biodegradability of several vegetable oil-based polymers was assessed by respirometry in soil for 60–100 days at temperatures of 30–58 C. Films of soybean oil and linseed oil which were oxidatively polymerized (Co catalyst) on a kraft paper support were 90%–100% mineralized to CO2 after 70 days at 30 C. Mineralization of polymerized tung oil to CO2 was much slower than soy or lins...

Numerous studies conclude that inflammatory pathways predommint the pathophysiology of major metabolic syndromes like of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In particular, pancreatic lipase is increased during diabetes and CVD pathology. There is a gradual hepatotoxicity associated with the modern allopathic drugs though efficiently maintain the blood glucose levels but on a long run in...

Twenty-seven lambs were used to investigate the effects of the inclusion of 4% hydrogenated palm oil (HPO) or sunflower oil (SFO) in the concentrate on animal performance, carcass and meat quality and fat characteristics and fatty acid composition. Animals (16.2±0.27kg initial weight) were fed concentrate (Control, HPO or SFO) and barley straw ad libitum and slaughtered at 25kg. SFO lambs tende...

Triacylglycerols from plants, familiar to most people as vegetable oils, supply 25% of dietary calories to the developed world and are increasingly a source for renewable biomaterials and fuels. Demand for vegetable oils will double by 2030, which can be met only by increased oil production. Triacylglycerol synthesis is accomplished through the coordinate action of multiple pathways in multiple...

Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils (edible & non edibles) and animal fats. The methyl ester of vegetable oils, known as biodiesel are becoming increasingly popular because of their low environmental impact and potential as a green alternative fuel for diesel engine and they would not require significant modification of existing engine hardware. At present, biodiesel is commercially produ...

In this study, three different vegetable-based cutting fluids developed from raw and refined sunflower oil and two commercial types (vegetable and mineral based cutting oils), were carried out to determine for thrust force and surface roughness during drilling of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel with HSSE tool. The uses of vegetable cutting oils was investigated in reducing thrust force and ...
