Oils and fats are substances that are important nutritionally and have important role and impact on human health. Energy consumption and preservation in respect of food industry and the increase in the world population and search for new sources of oils and fats to full fill the need of the society particulary the nutritional requirements have introduced this research topic. Therefore aim of th...

Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) has two major products: alkaloids in the capsules and the seeds.  The seed contains oil, protein, carbohydrate, moisture and mineral matters. The seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and oleic acid. Remaining meals after oil extraction are the important source for animal diets. The United Nations recognize Turkey and India as tra...

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is an oil-bearing plant that has potential to be cultivated as a biodiesel crop. The seed cake after oil extraction has 40-50% protein that can be used in animal feeds. A major limitation in utilizing the cake is the presence of phorbol esters (PE), a heat-tolerant toxic chemical. To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for PE, we constructed a genetic linka...

We address the task of bootstrapping a semantic lexicon from a list of seed terms and a large corpus. By restricting to a small subset of semantically strong patterns, i.e., coordinations, we improve results significantly. We show that the restriction to coordinations has several additional benefits, such as improved extraction of multiword expressions, and the possibility to scale up previous ...

Thesis statement: The Time-varying Reeb Graph provides a topological framework to perform visualization of a timevarying volumetric dataset. It assists us to compute the number and genus of level-set components for all (function value, time) pairs, compute seed-cells for fast level-set extraction, and perform temporal simplification of level-set topology.

Considering the possibility of the harmful side effects of synthetic antioxidants, it is necessary to substitute the synthetic antioxidants by the natural ones, the antioxidants that have been consumed by man for years. The mango seeds were washed and air dried and the kernels were removed manually from the seeds. Mango seed kernel oil was extracted by hexane using soxhlet extraction apparatus....

Grape seed oil is a product resulting from the processing of grape marc. It is ever more appealing for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries: the pharmaceutical activities concern its antioxidant properties, due to the large content of unsaturated fatty acids. Grape seed oil could be extracted mechanically by pressing or chemically by means of solvents. Among the latter, supercritical CO2 ...

The research area of information extraction (IE) aims to extract relevant structured information from natural language texts. In addition to the named-entity recognition (NER) task, the identification and classification of relations among entities, namely, the so-called relation extraction (RE) task, is particularly important for many real-world applications. Given the sentence in Figure 1, a R...

This paper carried out experimental study, through extraction and characterization of both crude and refined castor oil. Normal hexane was used as solvent for the extraction process. The oil produced was refined through degumming, neutralization and bleaching process using local adsorbent (activated clay). The characterization analysis revealed that tested parameters, which include specific gra...

Maize oil is high in polyunsaturated fat, which is a heart-healthy fat, and low in saturated fat. Extraction of oils from oilseeds is a key step for their commercialization. The extraction process has a direct effect on the quality and quantity of protein and oils obtained. Various methods like cold pressing, solvent, super-critical fluid and aqueous extractions are in practice for oilseed extr...
