This study presents an analytical procedure for measuring the 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratio in olive oil and pomace using multicollector-inductively coupled mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS). The developed method combines liquid-liquid extraction with acid solution degradation of organic residues extract by dry ashing oxidation H2O2 HNO3. enabled ratios to be obtained Sr content as low 0.2 ng g−1, a prec...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer in many western countries and is probably caused in part by dietary factors. Southern European countries have lower incidence rates of CRC than many other western countries. It was postulated that, because olive oil is thought to influence bile salt secretion patterns in rats, it may influence the occurrence of CRC. The purpose of this...

This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of high pressure (HP) with the addition of soy sauce and/or olive oil on the quality and safety of chicken breast meats. Samples were cut into 100 g pieces and 10% (w/w) of soy sauce (SS), 10% (w/w) of olive oil (OO), and a mixture of both 5% of soy sauce and 5% olive oil (w/w) (SO) were pressurized into meat with high pressure at 300 or ...

BACKGROUND There are some non-invasive and affordable treatments for asthma with fewer side effects, such as reflexology and olive oil foot massage in complementary and alternative medicine. There is a lack of studies regarding the efficacy of olive oil foot massage and reflexology for asthma control. This study was done to investigate the effect of foot reflexology and olive oil foot massage o...

The effect of repeated consumption of virgin olive oil on endogenous phenolic metabolites of fasting plasma is unknown. For this reason, we hypothesized that regular long-term virgin olive oil intake could have an indirect protection effect on the endogenous phenols. Thus, the aim of the study was to determine the phenolic profile of human plasma in a fasting state of long-term regular virgin o...

Olive oil traceability remains a challenge nowadays. DNA analysis is the preferred approach to an effective varietal identification, without any environmental influence. Specifically, olive organelle genomics is the most promising approach for setting up a suitable set of markers as they would not interfere with the pollinator variety DNA traces. Unfortunately, plastid DNA (cpDNA) variation of ...

Title: CHARACTERIZATION OF OLIVE OILS COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES Shane Adam Ardo, M.S., 2005 Directed By: Associate Professor Liangli Yu, Department of Nutrition and Food Science This research examined 30 olive oils commercially available in the United States for their fatty acid composition, oxidative stability, and antioxidant capacities. The olive oils in this study differed...

A process for the combined recovery of pectin and phenolic compounds from apple pomace, the primary by-product of apple juice production, was developed. The process includes extraction of dried apple pomace with diluted mineral acid and adsorption of phenolic constituents by a hydrophobic styrene–divinylbenzene copolymerisate. After elution with methanol, the polyphenolics were concentrated in ...

Encapsulation of sensitive compounds in amorphous, glassy wall materials may protect them from environmental factors causing their loss during storage of food ingredients and foods. The stability of αtocopherol (2.5%, w/w, based on non-fat solids) in freeze-dried lactose-milk protein isolate-olive oil (3:1:2), lactose-soy protein isolate-olive oil (3:1:2), trehalose-milk protein isolate-olive o...
