Three genera and four species of the Apiaceae family : Cuminumcymium ; Foeniculumvulgari Pimpinella affinis Pimpi-nella anisumwere compared chemically by using (GC) Gas chromatography for seven fatty acids ( Heptanoic acid Octanoic Lauric Stearic Lenolinic acid; lenolic ) as a chemotaxonomical marker to determine genetic similarities differences between wiled plant other cultivated , results sh...

Adding β-glycosidase into grape wine for enhancing aroma was investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Kramer sensory evaluation. Compared with the extract from control wines, the extract from enzyme-treated wines increased more aromatic compounds using steam distillation extraction (SDE) and GC-MS analyses. Theses aromatic compounds were as follows: 3-methyl-1-butanol...

The published peer-reviewed literature on OBT in functional and organic disease has been searched on PubMed using the key words 13C breath test, octanoic acid and gastric emptying. The more significant referenced articles from recent published manuscripts and abstracts from national and international meetings have been included in this review, apart from pharmacological studies which have been ...

Pyrethrins are natural insecticides, which accumulate to high concentrations in pyrethrum (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium) flowers. Synthetic pyrethroids are more stable, more efficacious and cheaper, but contemporary requirements for safe and environmentally friendly pesticides encourage a return to the use of natural pyrethrins, and this would be favoured by development of an efficient route ...

Ghrelin is a peptide hormone that is acylated with a fatty acid, usually n-octanoic acid, at the third amino acid (aa) residue (usually a serine or threonine), and this acylation is known to be essential for ghrelin activity not only in mammals but also in non-mammals, such as fish. However, the modification mechanisms of ghrelin modification in fish are not known. In this study, we elucidated ...

The pattern of fatty acids synthesized by mammary-gland explants from rabbits during pregnancy and early lactation has been studied. From day 12 to day 18 of pregnancy, long-chain (C(14:0)-C(18:1)) fatty acids were the major products. From day 18 to day 21 of pregnancy there was an increase of up to 12-fold in the rate of fatty acid synthesis per unit wet weight of tissue that was almost exclus...
