For determining the fatty acid characteristics and biodiesel quality of Ethiopian Jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions namely Southern Nation Nationalities Peoples Regional State (SNNPRS), Amhara region, Tigria region, Oromia region and Benishangul Gumuz Regions, where physic nut is found abundantly. For each region, representative sampling sites were selected following...

Abstract: Introduction: Formulation of a nano lipid carrier loaded hydrophilic gel corticosteroid, fluticasone propionate (FP) was investigated systemically with response surface model (RSM) for promising dermal delivery the drug. Objectives: To achieve better penetration drug and to overcome generally associated adverse reactions corticosteroids, present study, explored formulation evaluation ...

Supercritical fluid extraction and expansion (SFEE) patented technology combines the advantages of both supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS) with on-line coupling, which makes the nanoparticle formation feasible directly from matrix such as Chinese herbal medicine. Supercritical fluid extraction is a green separation technology, which has bee...

Abstract Green Diesel (diesel-like hydrocarbon) can be produced from biomass resources that contain fatty acids, such as palm fruit, kernel, and soybean, through deoxygenation reaction. In this study, the catalytic activity of cobalt catalyst supported on activated biochar in acid (stearic acid) is investigated. Stearic used a model compound vegetable oil. The obtained results show exhibited hi...

J. Anim. Sci. Vol. 87, E-Suppl. 2/J. Dairy Sci. Vol. 92, E-Suppl. 1 (P ≤ 0.1) P3 activity (1.87 vs. 0.34 arbitrary units for stearic vs. control, respectively). Activity of P2 was not altered (P ≥ 0.05) by any treatments and there was no response to glucocorticoids or unsaturated fatty acids for any of the promoters tested. Stearic acid suppresses the activity of bovine PC promoter 1 but enhanc...

abstract mefenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) that has analgesic,anti-infammatory and antipyretic actions. it is used to relieve mild to moderate pains. solid-phase extraction of mefenamic acid by a polymer grafted to silica gel is reported . poly allyl glycidyl ether/iminodiacetic acid-co-n, n-dimethylacrylamide was synthesized and grafted to silica gel and was used ...

Structured lipids (SLs) containing palmitic, oleic, stearic, and linoleic acids, resembling human milk fat (HMF), were synthesized by enzymatic acidolysis reactions between tripalmitin, hazelnut oil fatty acids, and stearic acid. Commercially immobilized sn-1,3-specific lipase, Lipozyme RM IM, obtained from Rhizomucor miehei was used as the biocatalyst for the enzymatic acidolysis reactions. Th...

Abstract Highly porous nanocomposite films were produced at room temperature from SiO 2 or TiO –SiO solutions synthesized by a sol–gel route in the presence of oxide nanoparticles. The photocatalytic behavior titania-based was controlled sol synthesis step, through three parameters: relative molar concentration between polymeric and condensed silica, reactivity hydrolysis active component. repo...

Desaturation of [1-r4C]stearic acid, [lJ4C]palmitic acid, and [l-14C]stearoyl-CoA was measured in homogenates of lo-day-old rat brain. Desaturation was maximal with stearoyl-CoA at pH 6.0 to 6.6. With free fatty acids, monoene formation was maximal at pH 7.2 to 7.6; stearic acid was more actively desaturated than palmitic acid. Activity with stearic acid or stearoyl-CoA was linear with protein ...
