in this research, we studied physical, chemical and biochemical characteristics of pistachio entitled pistacia vera cv. daneshmandi and was compared to three pistachio including of badami sefid, kalle ghoochi and akbari. the examined characteristics were fresh and dry weight of seed, green shell and also kernel, weight of hard shell, seedless and early opening nut, comparing the seed and kernel...

Deferne, J.L. and D. W. Pate, 1996. Hemp seed oil: A source of valuable essential fatty acids. Journal of the International Hemp Association 3(1): 1, 4-7. Interest in Cannabis has largely focused on its content of psychoactive substances (cannabinoids) or its potential industrial use as a source of cellulose fibre. While the whole seed has long been used as a source of food, its potential healt...

The effects of gas composition on the productivity of biomass and intra-cellular fatty acids were investigated in semi-batch cultures of a green alga Chlorococcum littorale (C. littorale) with gas flowing at 100 ml/min under the conditions of temperature of 22 C and light intensity of 4200 lx. Growth rates were enhanced and total fatty acids contents increased by flowing an O2-free gas mixture ...

AIM The aim of the study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of 10 volatile oils extracted from medicinal plants, including galangal (Alpinia galanga Linn.), ginger (Zingiber officinale), plai (Zingiber cassumunar Roxb.), lime (Citrus aurantifolia), kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC.), sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum Linn.), tree basil (Ocimum gratissimum), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus D...

ten varieties of iranian soybeans are cultivated in different areas of the country; persia or sahar (sr), hill (hl), williams (wz), gorgan 3 (gn), clarke (kl), hawkey (hk), zaan (zn), harcor (hr), dare (dr) and simes (ss), grown in tropical regions. samples of these 10 varieties were obtained from the institute of plant and seed research. after sample preparation, their oils were extracted and ...

abstract: the object of this study is to extract the oil from millets and evaluate the chemical properties of the extracted oil. commercial millet oil was obtained by cold solvent extraction adopting soxhlet procedure. quantitative and qualitative tests concerned with the non-saponifiable matter, fatty acid composition, phosphorus content representing total phospholipids, refractive index, pero...

BACKGROUND Omega-3 long-chain (≥C(20)) polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 LC-PUFA) have critical roles in human health and development with studies indicating that deficiencies in these fatty acids can increase the risk or severity of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases in particular. These fatty acids are predominantly sourced from fish and algal oils, but it is widely recognised that there ...

The Delta-12 oleate desaturase gene (FAD2-1), which converts oleic acid into linoleic acid, is the key enzyme determining the fatty acid composition of seed oil. In this study, we inhibited the expression of endogenous Delta-12 oleate desaturase GmFad2-1b gene by using antisense RNA in soybean Williams 82. By employing the soybean cotyledonary-node method, a part of the cDNA of soybean GmFad2-1...
