Kilka fish are known as the main industrial and pelagic species of Iran that are captured abundantly in the southern Caspian Sea. This study was conducted to survey the effectiveness of refinement steps on Kilka (Clupeonella delicatula) crude oil quality and fatty acid profiles. Neutralization, bleaching, winterization and deodorization were performed on crude oil with deodorization done under ...

Segments of epididymal adipose tissue from normal male rats were incubated with micromolar concentrations of colchicine for different periods of time up to 4 hr, and the mobilization of free fatty acids (FFA) was measured during a subsequent reincubation. Although pretreatment with colchicine did not alter basal unstimulated FFA release, mobilization of FFA in the presence of epinephrine or the...

Within adipose tissue, free fatty acids liberated by lipolysis may be re-esterified into newly synthesized triacylglycerol. We hypothesized that re-esterification may occur via an extracellular route, such that free fatty acids arising from lipolysis must leave the adipocyte and be taken up again before they can be re-esterified. We simultaneously measured rates of lipolysis, acylglycerol synth...

HE MOST FREQUENTLY USED procedure for the determination of free fatty acids (FFA) in body fluids or biologic media is that of Dole (4). This method is based on the extraction of fatty acids with organic solvents followed by titration with dilute alkali. Despite improvements in specificity (3, 5, 6), this method is subject to error resulting from dissolved atmospheric carbon dioxide. When applie...

The effect of aqueous solutions of ascorbic acid (AA) on the rancidity development in Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage was studied. Cobia fillets were treated with ascorbic acid (AA 0.25% and AA 0.5%) then stored at -18°C up to 6 months. Rancidity development was measured by several biochemical indices including free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), an...

the present study examined the utilisation of seaweed extract as a source of natural antioxidantsfor retarding lipid oxidation in minced kilka. the kilka mince with two different concentrations(300 ppm and 600 ppm) of water extract obtained by microwave, one control sample with noadded extracts and one control sample with added vitamin c were prepared. the samples werestored at refrigerator (4º...

A sensitive method is proposed for the colorimetric determination of free fatty acids (FFA). Diphenylcarbazide containing diphenylcarbazone is used as the color developing reagent instead of diethyldithiocarbamate which was employed in the previous method (1965). J. Lipid Res. 6: 16-20). The present method was successfully applied to the determination of FFA present in as little as 40 microlite...

Background and Objectives: Oils used in frying should include special characteristics such as high oxidative stability, prolonged shelf life, low price, abundance and availability and desirable flavors. Nowadays, consumers are further interested in low saturated frying oils.  Recently, manufacturers focus on eliminating palm oil derivatives (as a major vegetable source of saturation) from fryin...
