The aim of this study was to determine and compare in situ biohydrogenation (BH) fatty acids in three forms of soybeans and linseed (raw, extruded and roasted). Nylon bags (5×10 cm) containing 4 g of raw, extruded or roasted soybeans or raw, extruded or roasted linseed were incubated in the rumen of fistulated ewes for 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours. Results for linoleic acid (C18:2) showed tha...

In the gametophyte of the fern Anem ia phyllitidis synthesis of linolenic acid esterified in monogalactosyldiglyceride requires light. By induction-reversion experiments it could be demon­ strated that this light-dependent step is mediated by phytochrome. There is also evidence for phytochrome control of galactolipid and hexadecatrienoic acid synthesis. In continuous blue light the synthesis of...

  Background: The dried fruits of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn (Compositae) contain silymarin, an isomeric mixture of flavonolignans. Silymarin acts as a strong anti -hepatotoxic. This fruits contains a high amount of oil .  Objective: The objective of this study was to determine total lipid content, fatty acid composition and content of different kind of tocopherols in seed oils of S. marianum...

in order to study the variation of fatty acids and protein content of soybean seeds and correlated morphological and phenological traits by canonical correlation analysis, 25 genotypes were evaluated with latis square design in baieakola agricultural research station of mazandaran agricultural research center in 2001. a number of 20 agronomic and eight quality traits were measured. the variatio...
