Vidrih R., Vidakovič S., Abramovič H. (2010): Biochemical parameters and oxidative resistance to thermal treatment of refined and unrefined vegetable edible oils. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 376–384. In human nutrition fats are physiologically important food constituents but also the components most liable to oxidative degradation. The oils included in the study were refined (sunflower, extra-sunfl...

The quality and stability of industrially processed palm, sunflower and cotton oils as affected by light and air were investigated. The oils exposed to light, air and both light and air were analyzed for physicochemical properties of acid value, free fatty acids and peroxide value over a period of four consecutive days. Determination of the acid values (AV), free fatty acids (FFA) and peroxide ...

This study was conducted to establish the shelf-life of a milk beverage product supplemented with coffee extracts. Qualitative changes including peroxide value (PV), microorganism content, caffeine content, and sensory evaluation were measured periodically in beverages kept at 10, 20, and 30°C for 8 wk. Lipid oxidation of the product was measured by peroxide value analysis, and apparent changes...

Our main goal in this project is to study the causes and finding solutions for both the hydrolytic and the oxidative rancidity that can be produced during condensed yoghurt production. The re pasteurization of the pasteurized milk and the addition of different types of antioxidants (ascorbic acid and propyl gallate) were used to achieve this goal. Chemical, physical, microbial and sensory tests...

Ostrich oil has been used extensively in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. However, rancidity causes undesirable chemical changes in flavour, colour, odour and nutritional value. Bleaching is an important process in refining ostrich oil. Bleaching refers to the removal of certain minor constituents (colour pigments, free fatty acid, peroxides, odour and non-fatty materials) from crude...

The study was designed to investigate the efficacy of treating the adult male rats with royal jelly (1g/kg B. Wt. orally) for one month with or without hydrogen peroxide (0.5%) in drinking water on sexual efficiency, glutathione and malondialdehyde tissue testis levels. The current study demonstrated that male rats receiving hydrogen peroxide caused a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the sperm ...

Nadeem M., Abdullah M., Hussain I., Inayat S., Javid A., Zahoor Y. (2013): Antioxidant potential of Moringa oleifera leaf extract for the stabilisation of butter at refrigeration temperature. Czech J. Food Sci., 31: 332–339. The antioxidant potential of a leaf extract of Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringaceae) – LEMO was studied for the stabilisation of butter at refrigeration temperature. LEMO was...

Oil from avocado seed was extracted via the AOAC standard method using n-hexane as extracting agent. The main physico-chemical properties evaluated for includes saponification value, free fatty acid, iodine peroxide acid value and refractive index. results revealed that (mg KOH/g), iodine/100g), (mg/peroxide/kg), Free acid(%), specific gravity index were found to be 150.348; 0.366; 3.81g/100g; ...

The oxidative properties of sunflower oil supplemented with rambutan extract, (crude extract and its fractionated fraction, SF II) in comparison with synthetic antioxidant were investigated. The supplemented sunflower oils were stored under accelerated conditions for 24 days at 60 °C. For every 6-day interval, the oxidative properties of the supplemented sunflower oil were evaluated based on th...
