Recently, sesame oil is highly appreciated by consumers due to its sensory qualities, antioxidants activity and nutritional benefits, despite its high price. Also, the detection and quantification of adulteration both are problem with increasing importance in the consumer’s health and food industry. The goal of this study was to use Fourier transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy coupled w...

Recently there has been an increasing interest in the classification of edible oils as an effective means to examine authenticity and to detect possible adulteration of virgin olive oils with seed oils or low-quality olive oils. Classical methods based on gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are too expensive for widespread industrial use and require samples...

This study is concerned with the detection of adulterated ghee with various levels of palm oil and beef tallow with the application of particular chemical characteristics of ghee, palm oil and beef tallow namely sterol, and fatty acids profiles by response surface methodology (RSM). Among the parameters investigated, If the fatty acid profile is modeled under the optimized conditions, the detec...

This study describes the potential use of olive oil and olive oil-pomegranate juice sauces as antioxidant, preservative and flavoring agent in fish marinades. The olive oil and sauces, produced from emulsifying of olive oil and pomegranate juice with gums, were blended with marinated anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus) fillets. The aim of the present study was to produce a new polyphenol-rich mar...

The stability of the saponifiable and unsaponifiable fractions of avocado oil, under a drastic heating treatment, was studied and compared to that of olive oil. Avocado and olive oil were characterised and compared at time 0h and after different times of heating process (180°C). PUFA/SFA (0.61 at t=0) and ω-6/ω-3 (14.05 at t=0) were higher in avocado oil than in olive oil during the whole exper...

To examine whether phytosterols in polyunsaturated oils account for their differential action on lipid metabolism compared with monounsaturated oils, 16 normolipidemic individuals consumed three 10-day experimental diets containing corn oil (high in polyunsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols), olive oil (high in monounsaturated fatty acids and low in phytosterols), or olive oil supplemented w...

The genus Rosa Linn. (Rosaceae) is widely distributed in the temperate parts of the northern hemisphere and on tropical mountains. About 20 species and hundreds of varieties have been recorded in India in wild state and many have been introduced for cultivation as ornamentals. Mostly hybrid varieties exhibit a marked fragrance and are suitable for the extraction of Rose water and Rose oil (atta...
