272 India accounts for 12-15% of world’s oilseed area, 7-8% of oilseeds output, 6-7% of vegetable oil production, 9-12% of vegetable oil import and 9-10% of vegetable oil consumption (Hegde, 2009). The country produces seven edible oilseed crops viz. groundnut, rapeseed-mustard, soybean, sunflower, sesame, safflower and niger and two non edible oilseeds viz. castor and linseed. Though the diver...

We examined the effects of the sowing time on the yield production and oil content of the sunflower hybrids in 2010 and 2012. The crop year and the sowing time had both a strong impact on the yield, on the oilcontent and yield. By delaying the sowing time both the yield crop result and the oil yield increased. In 2010 in terms of crop yield and oil yield results PR64H42 was the best, in 2012 NK...

1. Diets containing 45% joules as fat, 45% joules as carbohydrate and 10% joules as calcium caseinate were given for 5 days to ten men and seven women. The fats used were sunflower seed oil or cream, and the carbohydrates were either glucose and fructose, glucose and raw starch or fructose and raw starch. 2. Sunflower seed oil in the diet resulted, after 5 days, in a significant fall in the con...

tea and sesame seed oils extracted by different methods (including supercritical fluid extraction (sfe), at a pressure of 350 atm, a temperature of 60oc, a static extraction time of 20 minutes, a dynamic extraction time of 30 minutes and 150 g kg-1 of ethanol as a modifier). solvent (se) and ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction (ue)), as natural anti-oxidants, were evaluated during 15 days st...

abstract: degumming and neutralization processes are two essential stages carried out on crude edible oils in order to remove some unwanted impurities namely gums and free fatty acids. in this research study two popular less expensive commercial oils that are consumed to a great extent namely soyabean and sunflower seed oils are selected and subjected to both degumming and neutralization proces...

Oil methanolysis over modified CaO catalysts was studied to assess the catalytic performance and define an appropriate kinetic model. by commercial glycerol a deep eutectic solvent (DES), choline chloride : (ChCl Gly), obtain catalytically active complexes of glycerol. The main goal investigate effect obtained on reaction rate fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content describe variation triacylgly...

AIMS To evaluate the antimicrobial effect of the ozonized sunflower oil (Oleozon) on different bacterial species isolated from different sites. METHODS AND RESULTS The effect of Oleozon on Mycobacteria, staphylococci, streptococci, enterococci, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli was tested. The sunflower oil was ozonized at the Centro de Investigaciones del Ozone (CENIC, Havana, Cuba) by an ozo...

The effects of tribo-conditions and antiwear additives on the degradation of an ester oil in refrigerant have been experimentally evaluated and the degradation products were analyzed. We have used hand-made pin and Vblock apparatus in order to control temperature, load, rotating speed, and environmental gas. The degree of degradation of the ester oil was determined by the amount of sludge on th...

The effect of dietary lipid on the thermotropic properties of acetylcholinesterase activity was examined in rat synaptosomal membrane preparations after feeding diets containing soya-bean oil, sunflower oil or soya-bean phosphatidylcholine as the dietary fats. Arrhenius plots and energies of activation were altered by the duration of feeding as a function of time, as well as by the composition ...

BACKGROUND Evidence indicates that different types of fat have different effects on the postprandial plasma triacylglycerol response. Therefore, the type of fat may influence the appearance of beta-carotene in postprandial triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, which is used as an indicator of intestinal beta-carotene absorption. OBJECTIVE We compared in female subjects the appearance of beta-car...
