With the continuous research and development of the low-toxic and high-efficiency oil spill dispersants (OSDs), there are an increasing number of evaluation methods for the effect of the OSDs. Currently, the majority of the OSDs effect evaluation is related with the testing of the emulsification in the laboratory, while the stability researches on the OSDs effect are still few. In this paper, t...

The life of quench oil is dependant upon its thermal stability. The thermal stability is a function of the quality of the base oil, the antioxidant package used, and the presence of heat and catalysts. In this paper, the mechanism of quench oil degradation and the function of antioxidants will be explained. An example of oxidation testing to determine the role of the base oil and antioxidants i...

The influences of protein concentration (0.2, 1, 2wt%) and oil-phase volume fraction (5%, 20%, 40% v/v) on emulsion stability and rheological properties were investigated in whey protein isolate (WPI)-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions containing 0.2wt% xanthan gum (XG). The data of droplet size, surface charge, creaming index, oxidative stability, and emulsion rheology were obtained. The result...

the present study attempts to investigate the effect of thermal treatment at 180 °c for 8 hours on chemical changes, quality indexes and oxidative stability of three iranian common virgin olive oils (zard, mari and phishomi). oil samples were taken every 2h of heating treatment and assessed for fatty acid composition, conjugated diene value, carbonyl value, color index and oxidative stability i...

The decay resistance of oil-heat treated aspen wood (Populus tremula l.) against white rot fungi (Coriolus versicolor) and brown rot fungi (Coniophora puteana) was investigated. Three different temperature stages and two time levels for oil heat treatment for the selection of optimum conditions were determined. Linseed oil as a heating medium was used. The mass loss of treated samples that were...

nowdays, production of high quality engine oils is one of the worries of our country’s engine oil industry. in this study, the behavior of four commercial polymers used in nation motor oil industry in obtaining the best viscosity index improver was investigated. in this regard, viscometric behavior, shear stability and polymers’ performance for engine cranking were compared at low temperature. ...

The structural properties of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, as well as their oxidative stability upon storage at 50 °C, were studied. Eight different formulations were prepared, with the aim of studying the effect of three variables: the composition of the oil phase, the presence of the flavonoid rutin and the homogenization procedure on the structure and the oxidative stability. It was found th...

509 The rice bran oil (RBO) contains high levels of phytosterols, gammaoryzanol, tocotrienols as well as tocopherols and it extends the shelf-life of snack foods. The high oxidative stability of RBO makes it preferred oil for frying and baking applications. The saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in RBO are in the ratio of approximately 1:2.2:1.5 and the major fatty acid ...

High oxidative capacity of polyunsaturated fatty acid rich oils is the main problem with their dietary application. The main objectives of this study were to determine the effects of different encapsulants and oil loading levels on nutritive value, fatty acid profile, and oxidative stability of microencapsulated fish oil powders. Four types of wall materials [glucose syrup and maltodextrin base...
