Camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) is an emerging industrial crop from the Brassicaceae family, with its seed oil and cake being used for food, feed, fuel applications. In this study, relationships between economically important agronomic traits including yield (SY), days to maturity (DM), 1000-seed weight (TSW), protein content (PC), (OC), fatty acid composition in 136 doubled haploid (DH)...

Abstract Polymer flooding and polymer/surfactant have achieved good efficiency in the application of conventional reservoir, but existed chemical technology cannot address issues requirements high salinity reservoir. Under condition due to increase calcium magnesium ions, increasing viscosity effect oil displacement system is lost. In order study feasibility applying nanomaterials field enhance...

Some Saudi herbs and spices were analyzed. The results indicated that mustard, black cumin, and cress seeds contain high amount of fat 38.45%, 31.95% and 23.19%, respectively, as compared to clove (16.63%), black pepper (5.34%) and fenugreek (4.51%) seeds. Cress, mustard, black cumin and black pepper contain higher protein contents ranging from 26.61 to 25.45%, as compared to fenugreek (12.91%)...

Castor oil was extracted by mechanical cold pressing (< 45 0 C) of the seeds of wild castor plant (Ricinus communis L.) found in wet marginal lands of Katsina, Nigeria. Oil yield was 39.43%. The virgin oil (obtained as clear, viscous, pale-yellow liquid) was further purified by filtration through sintered glass (fine mesh screen). This was to eliminate any dust, gum, or other particulates prese...

Studies were carried out in 36 adult male rats to determine the characteristics of lipid substances which, after infusion into the ileum, slow the stomach to caecum transit time of the head of a bean meal in the rat. Stomach to caecum transit time was measured by environmental hydrogen analysis. Ileal infusion of a range of free fatty acids including petroselinic, oleic, myristoleic, erucic, li...

Statistical techniques have been used to establish the extent to which the incidence of spontaneous mammary tumors in C3H mice could be associated with the levels of individual fatty acids in their diets. Eleven different fats and oils and nine mixtures of these fats and oils were selected so that the levels of the nine major fatty acids varied over a reasonable range and were not highly correl...
