Objectives: The objective of this research was to investigate the chemical composition and antibacterial activities of the fatty acids and essential oil from various parts of Ligularia persica Boiss (L. persica) growing wild in north of Iran. Materials and Methods: Essential oils were extracted by using Clevenger-type apparatus. Antibacterial activity was tested on two Gram-positive and two Gra...

In this study fatty acid contents, because of the importance in human’s life, and their seasonal variations of a dominant bivalve of Haleh Creek were determined for the first time. Fatty acid identification was done by GC-MS (Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry) method. After collecting and dissecting the species from the shells, samples weighed and frozen for further experiments. All the samp...

dog rose (rosa canina l.) is a wild native species in iran, with a significant genetic diversity. the purpose of this research was to study quantitative and qualitative characteristics of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids dog rose ecotypes in five habitats of isfahan province in 2014-2015. oil was extracted from seeds by using soxhlet apparatus; the fatty acid composition of oil was charact...

Background & Aim:Armenian cucumber (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus) is one of the varieties of Cucurbitaceae family that is freshly consumed in Iran, while due to the presence of useful fatty acids and minerals, it can play a special role in the health diet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative of fatty acids in the seeds of Armenian cucu...

Wild fruits are commonly consumed in the rural communities of South Africa. The information on their nutritionally important fatty acids is, however, limited. Three wild fruit species, Diospyros blancoi, Landolphia kirkii and Sclerocarya birrea from Limpopo Province were selected for evaluation of fatty acid content. Fatty acids composition of dried fruits of Diospyros blancoi (Db), Landolphia ...

Background: Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) belongs to Anacardiaceae family. The dried and powdered fruits are used as a food flavoring and medicinal plant. Objective: In this study, variability of fatty acid composition in some wild sumac fruits were investigated. Method: The samples were collected from their natural origins in central parts of Iran; Isfahan and Markazi province in the September to...

The study investigated the quantitative and qualitative [chemical] characteristics of fatty acids, carotenoids and tocopherol in some fast foods prepared from a Nigerian eatery. The fatty acid profile was determined by gas chromatography, carotenoids by open column chromatography and visible spectrophotometry, and tocopherol by colorimetric method. The free fatty acid, acid and peroxide values ...
