This paper reports experimental data and the thermodynamic modeling of the liquid-liquid equilibrium systems with triacylglycerols, free fatty acids (obtained from olive oil), ethanol and water. The experimental data were fitted using the UNIQUAC model, in which absolute deviation of 1.28 % and root mean square deviation of 2.10 % between experimental and calculated mass fraction of the compone...

Background: The production of waste pollutants has become a major problem for many food and oil industries. However, oil wastes can provide alternative substrates for industry, which could help to solve environmental pollution problems. Furthermore, oil wastes can be used as substrates to produce unsaturated fatty acids, which are important for health. Objectives: The production of fatty acids ...

one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars, zard, roghani, koroneiki and manzanilla, were transplanted to different sets of pots each pot containing 2000g of sterilized sandy loam soil. the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design of 32 treatments, each in five replications. treatments were comprised of: control, mere nematode, mere fungus, and fungus+nematode. pots were inocul...

Squids belong to the cephalopod family, which composes more than 5% of the total annual fishing volume of southern Iran as by- products; however, these do not have significant usage in Iran. This product was studied to extract the high-value products, i.e. marine oils rich in unsaturated multiple-band fatty acids from 50kg squid (Loligo loligo) obtained from Chabahar fishing port and transferre...

We have investigated the modulatory effect of dietary perilla oil which is rich in the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in male F344 rats. Animals were given three weekly subcutaneous injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body weight) to induce ACE. The rats were fed a basal diet containing either 12% ...

Enhancing the quality of beef meat is an important goal in terms of improving both the nutritional value for the consumer and the commercial value for producers. The aim of this work was to study the effects of different vegetable oil supplements on growth performance, carcass quality and meat quality in beef steers reared under intensive conditions. A total of 240 Blonde D' Aquitaine steers (a...

Effects of dietary oils on aging were investigated in senescence-accelerated mice. For 26 weeks, mice were fed purified diets containing 4% olive oil, safflower oil, perilla oil, or fish oil. Serum total, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein A-II (ApoA-II) were significantly lower in the fish oil group than in the perilla oil group, and these were significantly lower than in...

The present study aimed to evaluate the changes in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) after enrichment treatments with Thymus leptobotrys, a Moroccan endemic aromatic plant. EVOO sample was supplemented two materials obtained from aerial parts of T. leptobotrys: powder (2.5 and 5%) or essential (100 200 ppm). chemical composition analysis leptobotrys extracts (essential methanolic extract) allowed d...
