Much of the commercially available lecithin is produced as a byproduct soybean oil extraction. However, there strong need for alternative feedstock due to presence allergens in soy lecithin. The objective present study was determine if oilseeds from Brassicaceae family such Brassica juncea, Sinapis alba, and napus represent viable source Total yields seed meals quantified. Composition extracted...

Two plant-based emulsifiers, soybean lecithin and pea protein isolate, were studied for their emulsifying encapsulating capacities of an antimicrobial molecule, trans-cinnamaldehyde (TC), at two different pH values, three seven, after drying with techniques, spray-drying freeze-drying. To characterize the obtained capsules, various physicochemical tests conducted to examine particle size, encap...

Lecithin was fi rst isolated from egg yolk in the 1850’s. The Greek word for egg yolk, lekithos, is the basis for the name lecithin. Lecithin has a reputation for being “brain food” because of its high concentration of phosphatidyl choline, a nutrient which supports primary brain functions including memory, thought, and muscular control. Phosphatidyl choline is the biological precursor to acety...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of co-Q10 and ellagic acid on sperm parameters after the freeze–thawing of Ghezel ram sperm. Twenty ejaculates from five Ghezel rams were collected in this study. Semen samples, which were diluted with a soybean lecithin (SL) based extender containing 0.25 mM ellagic acid, 0.5 μM co-Q10, 0.25 mM ellagic acid + 0.5 μM co-Q10 and no antioxidant (...

Capillary electrophoresis was applied for the first time to determine soybean proteins in commercial soybean products. The most suitable conditions for the analysis of these products in less than 7 min were 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 8) with 1 M urea; detection wavelength, 254 nm; applied voltage, 20 kV; and temperature, 30 degrees C. Quantitation of soybean proteins was achieved using referen...

Reversed micellar two-phase extraction is a developing technique for protein separation. Introduction of an affinity ligand is considered to be an effective approach to increase the selectivity and capacity of reversed micelles. In this article, Cibacron Blue F3G-A (CB) as an affinity ligand was immobilized to reversed micelles composed of soybean lecithin by a two-phase reaction. The affinity ...
