AOCS Official Method Ce 6-86 "Antioxidants, Liquid Chromatographic Method" was originally developed to confirm the correct antioxidant was added at the specified concentration to refined oils. Today, this method is increasingly utilized to validate that antioxidants are absent from oil products. False positive results can have a significant impact on the ability to sell products in specific mar...

The antioxidant activity of tocopherols in vegetable oils was shown to chiefly depend on the amount and the tocopherol homolog present. However, the most effective ratio of tocopherol homologs with regard to the antioxidant capacity has not been elucidated so far. The present study analyzed the effect of different tocopherol concentrations, homologs and ratios of homologs on markers of lipid ox...

Cropping systems in farmland areas of Iran are characterized by continuous cultivation of crops with consumption of chemical fertilizers leading to serious soil erosion and fertility decline. Information regarding the simultaneous evaluation of crop rotation and fertilization on the canola traits is not available. Therefore, an experiment was conducted during 2007 2010. Experimental designs wer...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of canola oil and diet mixing time length on performance, carcass traits and blood lipids in broilers. in this experiment 288 ross-308 broilers were used from 11 up to 42 days as factorial arrangement (3×2) included three levels of canola oil (0, 3 and 6%) and two mixing time length (10 and 15 minute) in 6 treatments, ...

iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Lili He for her full support and encouragement throughout my research. The experience I gained and opportunities I had in this lab greatly exceeded my expectations, for which I am grateful. I would also like to thank Dr. Decker and Dr. Zhang for being members on my committee and for their input on my thesis. I would finally like to thank D...

The present work describes an experimental investigation concerning the determination of viscosity behavior with shear rate and temperature of edible oils: canola; sunflower; corn; soybean and the no edible oil: Jatropha curcas. Besides these, it was tested a blend of canola, corn and sunflower oils as well as sunflower and soybean biodiesel. Based on experiments, it was obtained shear stress a...

Canola has the lowest content of saturated fat amongst oils marketed in North America, and therefore is a valuable nutritional component for food industry and household use. Oils, extracted from vegetable tissues, contain a number of impurities which have to be removed in order to make the oil suitable for human consumption. One such impurity consists of waxes, which are high melting esters of ...

background and objective: in this study due to increasing importance of producing low fat meat products such as low calorie hamburger and in order to developing new and safe product with low fat and saturated fatty acid content and high unsaturated fatty acid, the effect of reducing animal fat content and adding combination of healthier oil, olive oil and canola oil that were used as a substitu...

Brassica juncea (Indian mustard) has been identified as a potentially important crop for commercial production in low rainfall areas of Australia, as it has greater tolerance to heat and water stress than B. napus (canola). It is also more resistant to blackleg fungal disease and shattering. The success of B. juncea as a commercial crop will, to a large extent, depend upon its suitability for p...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of saturated and unsaturated fats and their composition in growing and finishing periods on performance, carcass traits and blood lipids level in broiler chickens. In this experiment, 432 Ross 308 broilers were used from 11 up to 42 days in 9 treatments, 4 replicates and 12 birds in each replicate in growing (11-24 day...
