There is a bit of debate about the pros and cons of olive oil vs corn oil. Some newer research suggests when included in a well-balanced diet, corn oil may have comparable or possibly greater, health benefits when juxtaposed with olive oil. Both corn and olive oil are made up of mostly unsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are often described as ?healthy fats?. Researc...

olive is a perennial evergreen tree which has good adaptability to poor environmental conditions such as salt and drought resistance. in recent years, there is a tendency to plant olive trees in green spaces. therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate 15 olive cultivars regarding growth habit, form, and texture to recommend for landscape. six-year-old trees of 15 olive cultivars, which h...

to estimate the effect of microencapsulated fish oil on blood metabolites, rumen and blood plasma fatty acids concentrations twelve sannan dairy goats with 30 ± 5 days in milk (dim) were allocated to 3 treatments in a 3×2 change over design with 2 periods of 30 days. treatments were: 1) the control (without fish oil), 2) microencapsulated fish oil (2% fish oil capsulated in 6% treated whey prot...

molecular evidence on the heterogeneity present in the ole e 1 allergen of the olive pollen is emerging. such polymorphism is dependent on the cultivar origin of pollen, which also determines wide differences in the expression of this protein. determination of biochemical and molecular characteristics of ole e 1 pollen allergen in two iranian olive cultivars, namely 'rowghani' and 'zard' is nec...

Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) has two major products: alkaloids in the capsules and the seeds.  The seed contains oil, protein, carbohydrate, moisture and mineral matters. The seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and oleic acid. Remaining meals after oil extraction are the important source for animal diets. The United Nations recognize Turkey and India as tra...

in order to investigate the effects of boron, zinc and sulfur on yield and fatty acid composition of rapeseed(hyola 401 cultivar), an experiment was conducted in rasht province in 2011. a field experiment withcompletely randomized block design was performed with eight treatments in three replications.maximum grain yield (4157.6 kg ha-1) and grain oil (1770.2 kg ha-1) was obtained from s+b+zntre...

Background & Aim: Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), belongs to the Portulacaceace family, grows in many parts of Iran. Results of previous studies were indicated purslane is a rich source of essential fatty acids of omega-3 and omega-6.  Portulaca oleracea is a widespread weed, being the eighth common plants of the world. The Aim of current study was to compare the essential f...

UNLABELLED Pressure ulcers represent a major current health problem and produce an important economic impact on the healthcare system. Most of studies to prevent pressure ulcers have been carried out in hospital contexts, with respect to the use of hyperoxygenated fatty acids and to date, no studies have specifically examined the use of olive oil-based substances. METHODS AND DESIGN Main obje...

Prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN) leads to liver damage. Recent interest has focused on the lipid component of PN. A lipid emulsion based on w-3 fatty acids decrease conjugated bilirubin. A mixed lipid emulsion derived from soybean, coconut, olive, and fish oils reverses jaundice. Here we report the reversal of cholestasis and the improvement of enteral feeding tolerance in 1 infant with inte...

Olive trees, originated from Mediterranean, have been cultivated in China for decades and show great adaption to local environment. However, research on this topic is limited. In this study, the major qualitative characteristics and changes of olive grown in southwest China were investigated. The results showed that oil accumulated during fruit development and reached its maximum value when fru...
