Olive and rapeseed oil are both considered beneficial for lipid metabolism because of their high content of monounsaturated fatty acids. We compared postprandial lipid metabolism after test meals with these plant oils including hydrogenated plant oil as a reference. Subjects and Methods: Twenty normolipidemic subjects (age: 25.1±4.9 year, M±SEM, body mass index 21.5±0.6 kg/m) underwent three on...

BACKGROUND Liver disease is the major cause of serious health problem leading to morbidity and mortality worldwide and the problem has increased in search for hepatotherapeutic agents from plants. The present study was designed to compare the probable hepatoprotective activity of olive oil and N. sativa oil on CCl4 induced liver damage in male rats. METHODS Forty males of a new model of albin...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer in many western countries and is probably caused in part by dietary factors. Southern European countries have lower incidence rates of CRC than many other western countries. It was postulated that, because olive oil is thought to influence bile salt secretion patterns in rats, it may influence the occurrence of CRC. The purpose of this...

This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of high pressure (HP) with the addition of soy sauce and/or olive oil on the quality and safety of chicken breast meats. Samples were cut into 100 g pieces and 10% (w/w) of soy sauce (SS), 10% (w/w) of olive oil (OO), and a mixture of both 5% of soy sauce and 5% olive oil (w/w) (SO) were pressurized into meat with high pressure at 300 or ...

BACKGROUND There are some non-invasive and affordable treatments for asthma with fewer side effects, such as reflexology and olive oil foot massage in complementary and alternative medicine. There is a lack of studies regarding the efficacy of olive oil foot massage and reflexology for asthma control. This study was done to investigate the effect of foot reflexology and olive oil foot massage o...

The concentration of hydroxytyrosol (3,4-DHPEA) and its secoiridoid derivatives (3,4-DHPEA-EDA and 3,4-DHPEA-EA) in virgin olive oil decreased rapidly when the oil was repeatedly used for preparing french fries in deep-fat frying operations. At the end of the first frying process (10 min at 180 degrees C), the concentration of the dihydroxyphenol components was reduced to 50-60% of the original...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the effects of dietary intervention with canola or olive oil in comparison with commonly used refined oil in Asian Indians with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a 6-month intervention study including 93 males with NAFLD, matched for age and body mass index (BMI). Subjects were randomized into three groups to receive olive oil (n...

Olive oil traceability remains a challenge nowadays. DNA analysis is the preferred approach to an effective varietal identification, without any environmental influence. Specifically, olive organelle genomics is the most promising approach for setting up a suitable set of markers as they would not interfere with the pollinator variety DNA traces. Unfortunately, plastid DNA (cpDNA) variation of ...

Title: CHARACTERIZATION OF OLIVE OILS COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES Shane Adam Ardo, M.S., 2005 Directed By: Associate Professor Liangli Yu, Department of Nutrition and Food Science This research examined 30 olive oils commercially available in the United States for their fatty acid composition, oxidative stability, and antioxidant capacities. The olive oils in this study differed...

Oleuropein contents (OLE) in leaves and fruits of from seven olive Syrian varieties harvested at spring and fall were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that, the concentration of OLE leaves samples measured in spring was higher than those determined in fall samples, where the OLE concentration in spring samples ranged between 5.6 9.2 mg/g. The highest conc...
