The chemical composition of leaf fibers of abaca (Musa textilis), which are commonly used for high-quality paper pulp production, was thoroughly studied. The results revealed that the lignin content was 13.2% of the total fiber. The analysis of abaca fibers by pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) released predominantly compounds arising from lignin and p-hydroxyc...

The aim of our study was to investigate the effect ethylthiosulfаnylate, a representative class thiosulfonate compounds, in combination with vitamin E on certain biochemical blood parameters, hematological indicators and total Chromium content liver rats exposed Cr(VI). Laboratory were divided into 8 groups 5 animals each. Animals group I (intact control) injected daily intraperitoneally 150 μl...

Sums of neutral and polar lipids with the yield 8% 2.6% were obtained from cones Cupressus sempervirens L. Verticalis  growing in Georgia main classes identified: hydrocarbons, diglycerides, triglycerides, fatty acids sterol. Some physico-chemical characteristics detected: specific gravity, refractive index, acidity number, iodine saponification ratio. In cypress cone oil saturated, unsatu...

Background Background: The fatty acid composition of the sperm membrane changes drastically during spermatogenesis and may be key to its function. Previous data has shown that intake of long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids can change the fatty acid composition of tissues, including testes and sperm. However, whether these changes in composition translate into changes in semen quality or male...

Alternatives to oils with high saturated fatty acid content are often liquid (high in unsaturated acids) that have a modified structure created either through additives or processing. Emulsifiers can be used as structuring agents of fats; this process results products such oleogels, which broaden the applications these oils. This study assessed and compared effects mono- diglycerides at 3%, 5%,...

substance was also hydrolyzed lvith acid to split vinyl ethers (13). The products were partitioned between ether and water and cr-glycols determined in each phase. Saponification released considerable amounts of glycerol (Table I, 3b). Thus Eluate C1 from the silicic acid column apparently still contained some ester triglycerides. The ether-soluble fraction contained glycols which yielded on ac...

Background & Aim:Armenian cucumber (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus) is one of the varieties of Cucurbitaceae family that is freshly consumed in Iran, while due to the presence of useful fatty acids and minerals, it can play a special role in the health diet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative of fatty acids in the seeds of Armenian cucu...

background: the modern dairy cows, due to intensive selection for higher milk production during past decades, have become more resistant to insulin. accompanied with dmi depression in per parturient dairy cow, insulin resistance may lead to a massive release of non-esterified fatty acids (nefa) to bloodstream which might act as a start point for development of other diseases. objectives: the pu...
