BACKGROUND This applied research was done in order to obtain cooked products (bologna sausages) with significantly lower amounts of energy, total fat and saturated fat and higher amounts of ω-3 fatty acids than conventional ones. Two subsequent experiments were performed. RESULTS Experiment 1 aimed at pork back-fat reduction and enabled sausages to be obtained with 84 g kg⁻¹ fat and 1334 kcal...

Stringent emission legislation all over the world has led to the search for alternative fuels for I.C. Engines. In this context, experiments were carried out to evaluate the exhaust emissions and combustion characteristics with a conventional diesel engine (CE) and ceramic coated low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine [with ceramic coated cylinder head] with different operating conditions [norm...

In the earlier study about polymer network of phenolic and epoxies resins mixed with linseed oil, only Phencat 15 was used as the catalyst for the phenolic resin. In this study, Phencat 382 and UH (a urea hydrochloride solution based on a 1 : 1 mole ratio of urea : hydrochloric acid 32%) will be used as catalysts to study their effects on the polymer network of phenolic and epoxy resins mixed w...

Syntheses of wholly natural polymeric linseed oil (PLO) containing peroxide groups have been reported. Peroxidation, epoxidation and/or perepoxidation reactions of linseed oil, either under air or under oxygen flow at room temperature, resulted in polymeric peroxides, PLO-air and PLO-ofl, containing 1.3 and 3.5 wt.-% of peroxide, with molecular weights of 2 100 and 3 780 Da, respectively. PLO-a...

A novel electroactive shape memory polymer nanocomposite of epoxidized linseed oil plasticized polylactic acid and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was prepared by a combination of solution blending, solvent cast technique, and hydraulic hot press moulding. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) was first plasticized by epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) in order to overcome the major limitations...

The study was to investigate the supplemental effect of α-tocopherol, β-carotene or combination of both on antioxidant capacities in plasma, liver and longissimus dorsi muscle (LM), and meat quality of pigs fed a high-linseed oil diet during the final finishing phase. Forty Duroc×Yorkshire×Landrace growing pigs were allocated to four high-linseed oil (3%) experimental diets formulated as basal ...

Peptides released from the small intestine and colon regulate short-term food intake by suppressing appetite and inducing satiety. Intake of marine omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids (FAs) from fish and fish oils is associated with beneficial health effects, whereas the relation between intake of the vegetable n-3 fatty acid α-linolenic acid and diseases is less clear. The aim of the present study was t...

Two methods, a capacity use-dilution test and another employing geometrical dilution, are used when comparing the bactericidal and fungicidal effects of a phenolic disinfectant containing 45% (w/w) o-phenylphenol in an aqueous soap solution of linseed oil (soap content 6.5% w/v) with the corresponding effects of the same phenolic compound in an aqueous soya oil soap solution (soap content 3.5% ...

Abstract The transesterification reaction of sunflower, mustard and linseed oil with ethyl alcohol was studied using potassium hydroxide as a catalyst. physicochemical properties low-temperature characteristics the feedstock obtained products were studied. most preferred for biodiesel fuel production had been determined.

Linseed is one of the oilseed crops introduced earlier in Ethiopia and currently grown widely next to sesame noug. The demand for linseed oil production home consumption increased needs enhancement by providing ideal varieties growers. objective current study was evaluate performance newly released agroecology West Shewa zone Oromia region identify highest yielders a stable variety farmers area...
