We describe a protocol for preparing very stable air-in-oil foams starting with a one-phase oil solution of a fatty acid (myristic acid) in high oleic sunflower oil at high temperature. Upon cooling below the solubility limit, a two-phase mixture consisting of fatty acid crystals (length around 50 μm) dispersed in an oil solution at its solubility is formed which, after whipping, coat air bubbl...

The growing demands of consumers for edible seed oils containing high unsaturated fatty acid and antioxidant content have resulted in considerable efforts to investigate plants as possible sources of oils and nuts. In this research, the amount of fatty acid compositions, total flavonoid, phenol and antioxidant properties of Pistacia atlantica and Pistacia khinjuk were evaluated. The kernel oil ...

There were various problems in the determination of oil acid value of the national standard method, and this paper developed a low cost, simple and effective way to determine the acid value of oil and grease. Furthermore, the esterification of high acid Euphorbia lathyris L. oil (ELO) with methanol could be efficiently catalyzed by hydrochloric acid to produce biodiesel, and the influencing fac...

Drought affects yield of peanut, but its effect on oleic and linoleic acids that influence its oil quality of peanut genotypes with different levels of drought resistance has not been clearly investigated. Therefore, the aims of this research were to determine whether soil water levels could affect oil quality by changes in fatty acid compositions of peanut, and to investigate the changes i...

BACKGROUND Hempseed oil is a rich and balanced source of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Anecdotal evidence indicated that dietary hempseed oil might be useful in treating symptoms of atopic dermatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Dietary hempseed oil and olive oil were compared in a 20-week randomized, single-blind crossover study with atopic patients. Fatty acid profiles w...

Canarium ovatum oil Engl. (pili nut oil) was extracted by using cold press method and then the physico-chemical properties of the oil samples, roasted pili nut oil (RPNO) and unroasted pili nut oil (UPNO) such as iodine value (IV), peroxide value (PV), acid value (% FFA), solid fat content (SFC), fatty acid composition and triacylglycerol (TAG) composition were determined. The percentage of oil...

Purpose: To measure the extent of solubility of the lipophilic drug, aceclofenac, in 13 oils as well as its in vitro permeability from these oils in order to develop optimized topical microemulsion and microemulsion-based gel for improved bioavailability. Methods: UV spectrophotometeric method was used at the wavelength of 276 nm to measure the dissolved quantity of aceclofenac in each of the o...

in order to study the effect of irrigation on fatty acid composition, oil and protein content of sunflower cultivars included azargol, allstar, alison and euroflor, an experiment was conducted at experimental field of the agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university in 2007. treatments were arranged on split plot based on randomized complete block with three replications. the irrigation treat...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the role of n-3 and n-9 fatty acids in crucial processes involved in prostate cancer cell growth through a large-scale proteomic analysis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We used a label-free protein quantification method to profile global protein expression of fish oil and oleic acid treated PCa cells and validated a panel of differentially expressed prote...
