For different bio-oils d...

Encapsulation of sensitive compounds in amorphous, glassy wall materials may protect them from environmental factors causing their loss during storage of food ingredients and foods. The stability of αtocopherol (2.5%, w/w, based on non-fat solids) in freeze-dried lactose-milk protein isolate-olive oil (3:1:2), lactose-soy protein isolate-olive oil (3:1:2), trehalose-milk protein isolate-olive o...

Extraction of carotenoids was carried out from Calendula officinalis (English marigold) flowers and their effects on the oxidation stability of mustard oil under light storage was determined. Four solvents viz., hexane, acetone, ethanol and tolune were used for extraction of total caroteinoids.The carotenoid extract of the calendula flowers obtained was incorporated in mustard oil at 10, 25 and...

Joint Inversion of Fracture Model Properties for CO2 Storage Monitoring or Oil Recovery History Matching — For oil recovery or CO2 storage, “reservoirs” are commonly used to designate geological structures where oil can be found or CO2 can be stored. All reservoirs present a heterogeneity in terms of rock type and properties (such as porosity and permeability). In addition, some of these reserv...

Large reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are needed to mitigate the impacts of climate change. One method of achieving such reductions is CO2 capture and storage (CCS). CCS requires the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) at a large industrial facility, such as a power plant, and its transport to a geological storage site where CO2 is sequestered. If implemented, CCS could allow fossil fu...

N ATURE of the carrier is known to affect efficiency of utilization of vitamin A by several species. For humans, aqueous dispersions of vitamin A have been found superior to oil solutions for maintaining blood levels and promoting growth (Kramer, 1947; Lewis, 1947, 1950; Sobel, 1949; and their respective coworkers). Kagan et al., (1953) reported that both alcohol and ester forms in aqueous disp...

Oils extracted from wild salmon by-products are excellent sources of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, quality loss is expected if time delays are encountered before oil extraction. The free fatty acid levels (FFA), fatty acid profile and total fat soluble antioxidant activity in extracted oil from aging...

Statement of the Problem Researchers always seek a new storage medium for avulsed teeth. Castor oil is a vegetable oil with several advantages such as antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, low toxicity, and glutathione preservation capability, low cost, and high availability. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the capacity of castor oil as a new storage medium i...

Damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) is an economically important species in the Rosaceae family for rose oil and rose water production, obtained exclusively from freshly-gathered Damask rose flowers. Iran is famous for producing organic rose essential oil, mainly used in the perfume industry and for folk medicines due to its healing properties. Due to their high perishability, postharvest handli...
