Plant oils have been utilized for a variety of purposes throughout history, with their integration into foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. They are now being increasingly recognized for their effects on both skin diseases and the restoration of cutaneous homeostasis. This article briefly reviews the available data on biological influences of topical skin applications of some plant o...

Oils are important food ingredients, mainly as a source of unsaturated fatty acids. The offer of novel edible oils from herbs, spices and fruit seeds has grown and many of them are used as functional food and dietary supplements but also as feed additives in animal feeding. Poultry meat is recommended.in properly balanced diet and its consumption in Poland has been growing. The objective of pre...

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...

The oil industry generates a high number of by-products which have the potential to be used in food formulation after they are properly treated. aim this study was evaluate nutritional 14 different vegetable from (flour, meals, and groats) terms fatty acid composition investigate effect theoretical fortification bakery products with ?-3. Results showed that some analyzed samples contain signifi...

Biodiesel production from vegetable oil has gained attention as an alternative fuel to minimize the usage of fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gases pollution. In Malaysia, oils from local fruit seeds of papaya and rambutan are potential feedstock for biodiesel production due to their high lipid contents and easily available. In the present study, papaya and rambutan seed oils were extracted v...

Yang et al, (1999) conducted a placebo-controlled, double-blind study to investigate the effects of seed and pulp oils of sea buckthorn on atopic dermatitis. Forty-nine atopic dermatitis patients took 5 g (10 capsules) of seed oil, pulp oil, or paraffin oil (control group) by mouth daily for 4 months. Patients treated with sea buckthorn seed oil had increased levels of linoleic, alpha-linoleic,...

In this study, some anti-nutritional factors present in oil-free seeds of egusi (Citrullus colocynthis L.) seed cake were determined. Oil was extracted from the oil-free egusi seed by the Soxhlet extraction method. The anti-nutritional factors were determined using the standard methods. The result of anti-nutritional factors analysis revealed that the seed contains phytate (3.09 ± 0.65mg/100g),...

Background Increasing the oil yield is a major objective for oilseed crop improvement. Oil biosynthesis and accumulation are influenced by multiple genes involved in embryo and seed development. The leafy cotyledon1 (LEC1) is a master regulator of embryo development that also enhances the expression of genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. We speculated that seed oil could be increased by ...

Ginseng seed oil was prepared using compressed, solvent, and supercritical fluid extraction methods of ginseng seeds, and the extraction yield, color, phenolic compounds, fatty acid contents, and phytosterol contents of the ginseng seed oil were analyzed. Yields were different depending on the roasting pretreatment and extraction method. Among the extraction methods, the yield of ginseng seed o...

INTRODUCTION Celastrus paniculatus seed oil, commonly known as Malkangni or Jyotishmati, was in use from time immemorial to treat brain related disorders. Celastrus paniculatus seed oil has significant antidepressant-like activity in chronic unpredictable stressed mice. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antidepressant-like effect of Celastrus paniculatus seed oil in unstressed mi...
