To prevent oxidative quality changes, a few selected antioxidants, ascorbic acid, or an ascorbic acid plus αtocopherol combination were electrostatically sprayed on the surface of ground beef patties. Color, metmyoglobin, oxidation-reduction potential, lipid oxidation, and volatiles of the samples were determined during the 8 d of aerobic storage. Spraying of ascorbic acid at 500 mg/kg was the ...

The aim of this study was to lower benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) contents in sesame seed oil (SSO) during manufacture by using a self-designed apparatus, to determine its optimal conditions, and to analyze antioxidants in SSO which might be related to BaP content reduction. Washing and spin-drying steps reduce exogenous BaP contamination, and the reduced moisture in seeds lowered BaP content in final SS...

To determine the antioxidant effects of rice hull extract exposed to far-infrared radiation, the added extracts were compared with sesamol in cooked turkey breast. Rice hull extract showed antioxidant properties in cooked turkey breast by reducing lipid oxidation and volatile aldehydes. Far-infrared radiation increased significantly the antioxidant activities of rice hull extracts. Rice hull ex...

Two antioxidative compounds were isolated from the oil of sesame seeds roasted at 230°C for 15 min and identified as sesaminols (isomers) by MS and NMR analysis. Although sesaminols are present in refined unroasted sesame seed oil, we have demonstrated their presence also in the oil from the roasted sesame seed without refining for the first time. Furthermore, the amounts of sesaminols in sesam...

1, 3-Benzodioxole ring system present in various naturally occurring molecules. Various synthetic molecules having 1, 3-Benzodioxole ring system have shown various biological activities. Stiripentol and Antiepilepserine are recently developed antiepileptic drugs which contain 1, 3-Benzodioxle rings system in core moiety. In the present work I have focused on the anticonvulsant activity of 1, 3B...

Curcuma longa has well-known insecticidal and repellent effects on insect pests, but its impact on Trichoplusia ni is unknown. In this study, the compound ar-turmerone, extracted and purified from C. longa rhizomes, was identified, and its insecticidal effects, along with turmeric powder, curcuminoid pigments and crude essential oil were evaluated against this important agricultural pest. The r...
