Phospholipids (soy lecithin) are important in the emulsification of lipids and may escape the rumen and influence the absorption of fatty acids in the small intestine. Our objectives were to determine the influence of dietary canola seed (high in unsaturated fatty acids) and soy lecithin in high-forage diets on total lipid content, cholesterol content, and fatty acid composition of carcass tiss...

Abstract Extra virgin olive oil-in-water nanoemulsions stabilised with synthetic or clean label surfactants (Tween 20 soy lecithin) was prepared using high-pressure homogenisation (HPH). The effect of HPH pressure and the number cycles were assessed through response surface methodology to optimise processing parameter. Mean droplet diameter (MDD), polydispersity index (PDI), thermal stability o...

A novel, efficient and simple approach for soy phosphatidylcholine analysis according to its fatty acid composition was studied with reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography analysis was performed isocratically using UV detector and simple mobile phase solvents consisting of isopropyl alcohol, methanol, and deionized water in...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of a few different penetration enhancers to produce elastic vesicles with soy lecithin and the influence of the obtained vesicles on in vitro (trans)dermal delivery of minoxidil. To this purpose, so-called Penetration Enhancer-containing Vesicles (PEVs) were prepared as dehydrated-rehydrated vesicles by using soy lecithin and different amounts of...

Soybean-derived phosphatidylserine (Soy-PS) is a phosphatidylserine made from soybean lecithin by enzymatic reaction with L-serine. A double-blind, randomized controlled study was conducted to investigate the effects of Soy-PS on the cognitive functions of the elderly Japanese subjects with memory complaints. Seventy-eight elderly people with mild cognitive impairment (50-69 years old) were ran...

We determined the distribution of lecithin molecular species between vesicles and mixed micelles in cholesterol super-saturated model biles (molar taurocholate-lecithin-cholesterol ratio 67:23:10, 3 g/dl, 0.15 M NaCl, pH approximately 6-7) that contained equimolar synthetic lecithin mixtures or egg yolk or soybean lecithins. After apparent equilibration (48 h), biles were fractionated by Supero...

The effect of dietary safflower phospholipid (Saf-PL) and soybean phospholipid (Soy-PL) on plasma, liver, and fecal lipids in rats fed a hypercholesterolemic diet was compared with that of triglyceride mixture (controls). Triglyceride mixture (SP-Oil) of safflower oil and palm oil (8:2) contained almost comparable amounts of linoleic acid to safflower phospholipid or soybean phospholipid. Conce...

Fibre can interfere with digestibility of fat by accelerating intestinal passage or increasing chyme viscosity. Lecithin is an important emulsifier which improve digestion. The study aims to determine if fibre solubility may apparent true total tract (ATTD; TTTD) macronutrients and energy adding lecithin could digestibility. Stool quality was evaluated regarding inclusion. Eighteen adult dogs f...

Much of the commercially available lecithin is produced as a byproduct soybean oil extraction. However, there strong need for alternative feedstock due to presence allergens in soy lecithin. The objective present study was determine if oilseeds from Brassicaceae family such Brassica juncea, Sinapis alba, and napus represent viable source Total yields seed meals quantified. Composition extracted...

Egg yolk low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and soybean lecithin were evaluated as replacements for egg yolk in extenders used for the cryopreservation of brown-bear spermatozoa. The motility, viability and acrosomal status of post-thawed spermatozoa were analysed, and an egg-yolk extender was used as a control. The total antioxidant capacity of these extenders was tested. Soybean lecithin showed a...
