The present study was designed to evaluate the composition and acceptability of biscuits prepared by partially replacing hydrogenated vegetable shortening with peanut butter to reduce the fats and enhance the nutritional value. For this objective five different treatments of biscuits were prepared from peanut (Arachis hypogaea) butter and hydrogenated vegetable shortening (Banaspati) i.e. T1(0:...

  Margarine contains a higher level of unsaturated and trans-fatty acids (TFA) than butter. The aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of these products in Iranian market during storage. Physicochemical analyses included fatty acid composition, peroxide and Anisidine values, slip melting point (SMP), color, chlorophyll content, solid fat content (SFC) and texture an...

There's a bit of debate as to which oil to drizzle over your food. Common cooking oils, including corn, olive, safflower, and peanut oils are made up of mostly unsaturated (monoand polyunsaturated, to be exact) fats, which are often described as ?healthy fats.? Research suggests that these two types of fat may help lower cholesterol, normalize blood clotting, improve insulin and blood sugar lev...

In this study, we investigate the effect of argan oil consumption on serum lipids, apolipoproteins (AI and B), CRP, and LDL susceptibility to oxidation in type 2 diabetic patients which are known to have a high level of cardiovascular risk due to lipid abnormalities and lipid peroxidation. For that, 86 type 2 diabetic patients with dyslipidemia were randomized to one group consuming 25 mL/day o...

Chronic wounds are a big challenge in contemporary society, as they lead to decrease life-quality, amputations and even death. Infections biofilm formation might occur with chronic wounds, due the higher susceptibility antibiotic multi-resistant bacteria. In this situation, novel wound dressing biomaterials needed for treatment. Thus, aim of research was evaluate possible BNC interaction tucumã...
