A rapid and easy-to-perform method for the screening and confirmation of estrogens, gestagens and androgens (EGAs) in kidney fat has been developed. In this investigation only 5 g of fat was needed. After extraction with acetonitrile the steroid phase was defatted using n-hexane. Followed by a saponification step, the sample extract was purified by solid phase extraction. After derivatisation a...

Effect of texturized defatted meal of sunflower, soybean and flaxseed on quality characteristics of chapatti was investigated. Texturized defatted meal of sunflower, soybean and flaxseed was blended at 10%. 20%, 30% and 40% levels with wheat flour (atta) for making chapatti making. Chapattis were evaluated for physical, textural, sensory and functional properties. Proximate analysis of defatted...

Two new antifungal withanolides, (1) and (2) have been isolated from the defatted methanolic extract of Ajuga parviflora. Their structures were established as 3/3,17/3,20-trihydroxyl-oxo-(20/?, 22/?)-witha-5,14,24-trienolide (1), 28-hydroxy-14,20-epoxy-l-oxo-(22/?)-witha2,5,24-trienolide (2) on the basis of spectroscopic data including two dimensional NMR tech­ niques. The pyrrolizidine alkaloi...

Six rare naturally occurring indazole-type alkaloids including two new compounds, 17-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-4-O-methylnigellidine (1) and nigelanoid (2), and four known compounds (3-6) were isolated from a defatted extract of Nigella sativa (black cumin) seeds. 17-O-(β-d-Glucopyranosyl)-4-O-methylnigellidine (1) increased glucose consumption by liver hepatocytes (HepG2 cells) through activation...

Abstract Stachys lavandulifolia is from mint family and Labiatae species and grows in different parts of our country sporadically. The purpose of this study is to investigate the chemical properties of Stachys lavandulifolia Ethyl acetate extract. In this study, the Ethyl acetate extract was provided using maceration method. The extract then was defatted and solvent removal performed in a...

In view of the rather high percentage of nitrogen in molds it is surprising to note the scarcity of reports concerning their amino acid content. Few amino acids have been reported, and still fewer have been isolated and characterized by analysis and by the formation and examination of suitable derivatives. Leutine, both free (1) and combined (2), has been reported in Aspergillus aiger, but no r...

This study was aimed to estimate the antioxidants, antibacterial, and antifungal activities of methanolic extract from soybean seeds against pathogenic microorganisms. The prepared defatted flour. Total phenolics content (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC), major phenolic, flavonoid, isoflavone compounds in were estimated by HPLC. On other hand, biological such as evaluated. value phenolic 8.59 mg GAE...

Solubility and stability properties of almond proteins were determined using ultracentrifugation and gel electrophoresis to gain a better insight into the complexity of these proteins. Ultracentrifugal analyses of the water-extractable proteins of defatted almond meal revealed four fractions of 2S, 9S, 14S and 19S. The 14S fraction corresponds to amandin, the classical globulin isolated earlier...

Linum usitatissimum Linn. is a widely acclaimed medicinal plant used in every household. The seeds of L. usitatissimum have both medicinal and nutraceutical properties.The study was conducted to evaluate the anti-hypertensive effect of aqueous extract with Secoisolariciresinol Diglucoside (SDG) enriched fraction (SEF) of defatted flaxseeds on fructose-induced hypertension in rats.Hypertension w...
