Biobased omega-carboxy fatty acid monomers 1,18-cis-9-octadecenedioic, 1,22-cis-9-docosenedioic, and 1,18-cis-9,10-epoxy-octadecanedioic acids were synthesized in high conversion yields from oleic, erucic and epoxy stearic acids by whole-cell biotransformations catalyzed by C. tropicalis ATCC20962. Maximum volumetric yields in shake-flasks were 17.3, 14.2, and 19.1 g/L after 48 h conversion for...

The aim of this work was to compare the positional fatty acid composition, sterols, tocopherols and oxidative stability of mustard oil (MO) and rapeseed oil (RSO). The MO contained higher levels of erucic acid (42.8%) and linolenic acid (18.2%), compared with RSO (0.4 and 8.6%) whereas the RSO contained higher levels of oleic acid (62.2%) and linoleic acid (19.5%), than that of MO (17.4 and 15....

Intense selection for specific seed qualities in winter oilseed rape breeding has had an inadvertent negative influence on seed germination performance. In a panel of 215 diverse winter oilseed rape varieties spanning over 50 years of breeding progress in winter-type rapeseed, we found that low seed erucic acid content and reduced seed glucosinolate content were significantly related with prolo...

Resynthesized (RS) oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is potentially of great interest for hybrid breeding. However, a major problem with the direct use of RS B. napus is the quality of seed oil (high level of erucic acid) and seed meal (high glucosinolate content), which does not comply with double-low quality oilseed rape. Thus, additional developments are needed before RS B. napus can be intro...

the oil extracted from three major canola cultivars (hyolla401, hyolla420 and rgs003) grown in golestan province was analyzed for physico-chemical properties, fatty acid composition, minerals content, and stability during 16 weeks of storage. according to the results, the highest iodine value and refractive index belonged to hyolla401. the highest saponification value was observed in hyolla420....

Abstract This study aims to examine the effect of ultrasonic-assisted extraction method on yield oil and profile fatty acid from microalga yeast. The cultivated was identified genetically as Thraustochytrium multirudimentale MAST-1 yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa KAST-1. oils were extracted dried biomass by solvents using modified Bligh Dyer (BD) method. Before extraction, material underwent ult...
