The seed of oilseed plants, including Arabidopsis and several crop species, such as soybean, sunflower, and canola, contain a major store of oil in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG), which provides carbon and energy for seed germination and seedling growth. During germination and seedling development, TAG stored in oil bodies is broken down into fatty acids through the action of lipases. Fatty ...

A toxicological study was conducted to evaluate the potential conflict between extended consumption of hemp food products and workplace drug-testing programs in the United States. Fifteen volunteers ingested hemp/canola oil blends containing four different concentrations of delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), each over a 10-day period. Corresponding THC doses ranged from 0.09 to 0.6 milligrams p...

Methyl and ethyl esters were prepared from camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] oil by homogenous base-catalyzed transesterification for evaluation as biodiesel fuels. Camelina oil contained high percentages of linolenic (32.6 wt.%), linoleic (19.6 wt.%), and oleic (18.6 wt.%) acids. Consequently, camelina oil methyl and ethyl esters (CSME and CSEE) exhibited poor oxidative stabilities and hi...

Quantification of a pH change that was observed over the course of the transesterification reaction that converts vegetable oil to biodiesel may provide a simple method to monitor the reaction. Transesterification of canola oil at 6:1 methanol to oil ratio with 0.5 wt.% KOH as catalyst was studied at 25, 35, and 45 °C. Reaction conversion was correlated to pH measurements and the results were s...

Canola oil cannot be directly used as a fuel in diesel engines because its physicochemical properties differ considerably from those of oil. Therefore, the studies were intended to make closer surface tension, viscosity and density canola by adding n-hexane ethanol. The tension components well determined not only for mixtures with ethanol but also components. based on contact angle measurements...

Two batches of frankfurters containing about 55% chicken meat with two different oils (including canola and soybean) were manufactured. Batch 1 included canola oil and Batch 2 included soybean oil in the products. Various analyses were performed to detect the lipid changes of both batches during storage. Fatty acid composition analysis using gas chromatography showed little change in the fatty ...

The aim of this study was to examine the oxidation of selected plant oils in concentrated beverage emulsions colored with natural β-carotene. Carotenoid preparations obtained from carrots were dissolved in cold-pressed linseed oil, refined canola oil, and refined palm olein. Oxidative stability of the lipids was examined with and without addition of the pigment to the oil/water (O/W) emulsion. ...

Fat is of the most important ingredients in bakery products which contributes providing textural properties baking products, particularly biscuits. Three entirely different olein (canola oil), palmitic (PBF) and lauric (PKBF) based fats were applied to hard dough biscuits (HDBs) their structural characteristics evaluated. Results showed that significant differences (p < 0.05) found outcome test...
