Lecithin or phospholipids is natural and widely used emulsifier. To improve its emulsifying properties, lecithin is modified by enzymatic hydrolysis using Phospholipase A1 (PLA1). PLA1 hydrolyzes at sn-1 position, that usually occupied by saturated fatty acids and more unsaturated fatty acid in lecithin is expected to increase hydrophilic properties. This study was aimed to investigate the hydr...

Entomopathogenic nematodes are soil-dwelling biocontrol agents. EPNs need an insect host to complete their life cycle, and they kill during its development. The major disadvantage of is the high cost commercial products. Thus, there many studies focused on reducing production costs by optimization mass production. In a previous project, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1976 (Rhabditida: He...

ABSTRACT Diets with high energy density and additives that enhance use are necessary for finishing feedlot cattle. The objective of the present study was to evaluate performance, ingestive behavior, apparent digestibility diet carcass traits steers fed concentrates from different sources, one derived starchy sources other, lipid combined or not whole soy lecithin, at a dose 40 g animal day-1. e...

Title: Effect of soy lecithin on fatigue and menopausal symptoms in middle-aged women: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study Authors: Asuka Hirose ([email protected]) Masakazu Terauchi ([email protected]) Yurika Osaka ([email protected]) Mihoko Akiyoshi ([email protected]) Kiyoko Kato ([email protected]) Naoyuki Miyasaka ([email protected]) Version: 2 Date...

The high costs of artificial pulmonary surfactants, ranging in hundreds per kilogram of body weight, used for treating the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) premature babies have limited their applications. We have extensively studied soy lecithins and higher alcohols as lipid alternatives to expensive phospholipids such as DPPC and PG. As a substitute for the proteins, we have synthesized th...

To test the hypothesis that dietary fats may improve tractability of horses, the effects of four total mixed diets on behavior were compared. The control diet (CON) contained chopped hay, corn, oats, beet pulp, molasses and a mineral mix; the three test diets contained an additional 10% (by weight) corn oil (CO), soy lecithin-corn oil (SL-CO), or soy lecithin-soy oil (SL-SO). Eight horses were ...

Oxidative stability of egg and soy lecithin in emulsion was evaluated with two transition metal ions, cupric and ferric ion, at two concentration levels (50 and 500 microM). The effect of pH on lipid oxidation was also examined under these two concentrations for each ion. Egg lecithin (EL) had similar peroxide value (PV) development pattern as soy lecithin (SL) when treated with cupric ion unde...

To investigate the possible regulating role of omega-6 and of omega-3 fatty acids on platelet adhesiveness, we randomised 60 volunteers into three groups to take 20 ml (equivalent to 0.3 g omega-6, 3.6 g omega-3; omega-6/omega-3 ratio 0.1) per day of a fish oil supplement, or to take 25 g (equivalent to 1.5 g omega-6, 0.5 g omega-3; omega-6/omega-3 ratio 3) per day of a soy lecithin supplement,...

Phospholipids (soy lecithin) are important in the emulsification of lipids and may be able to escape the rumen and influence the absorption of fatty acids in the small intestine. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of dietary canola seed (high in unsaturated fatty acids) and soy lecithin in high-forage diets on performance, serum lipid metabolites, and carcass character...
