Great progress in understanding the mechanisms of fat absorption by the mammalian intestine has been made in the past decade and a half. In contrast to the contentions of rival theorists of the century before this, it has been possible for many laboratories throughout the world to confirm observations made by use of the new tools available, and to come to agreement on current interpretations of...

Vegetable oils and fats have a big contribution in our diet as cooking or frying oil, salad oil or in food products formulation. They are important from nutritional and economical point of views. Their authenticity is a serious issue since old time. Some edible oils and fats such as olive oil, cocoa butter and milk fat are so expensive which makes tempting to adulterate them with other lower pr...

Summer season with 30C is taken as control, where as rainy season with 20C is taken as cold stress and winter season with 15C is taken as cold adaptation. During summer season (control) The Acetyl Choline Esterase Increases, fats decreases and fatty acids increases. The fatty acids are utilized by the fish for its strenuous activity during summer. During Rainy, season due to cold stress the fat...

Inter-esterification is one of the processes used to modify the physico-chemical characteristics of oils and fats. Inter-esterification is an acyl-rearrangement reaction on the glycerol molecule. On the other hand, hydrogenation involves addition of hydrogen to the double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids. Due to health implications of trans fatty acids, which are formed during hydrogenation, th...

Study presents that supercritical methanol has the ability to convert oils/fats consisting of triglycerides and free fatty acids (FFAs) into fatty acid methyl esters through transesterification and methyl esterification, respectively, without any catalyst. This one-step method (Saka process) is simpler process realizing shorter reaction time and higher yield of methyl esters than those of the c...

Previous studies show that children who are sensitive to the bitter taste of 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) report more frequent intake of sweets and less frequent intake of meats (savory fats) relative to children who are PROP insensitive. Laboratory studies are needed to confirm these findings. In this study, seventy-nine 4- to 6-year-olds from diverse ethnicities attended four laboratory sessio...
