The objective of the present study was the evaluation of the bioactive compounds, physical properties and microbiological qualities of herbal-plant infusion as affected by high pressure processing (400 or 500 MPa at 25°C for 15 or 30 min) and thermal processing (90°C for 1 3 min). It was found that pressurized infusions comprised of high concentrations of gallic acid, ellagic acid, total polyph...

Antioxidant activity of phytosterols, oryzanol, ferulic acid ester of sterols, corn fiber oil, and rice bran oil was investigated. Commercial soybean oil and distilled soybean oil FAME were used as substrates for both oxidative stability determination and viscosity analysis after the oil was oxidized. At low concentration, these materials did not improve the oxidative stability of the oil subst...

One hundred and five Labrador dogs were randomly divided into two groups to determine the number of animals that develop elbow dysplasia when treated with an oral supplement compared to untreated ones. Efficacy of the oral treatment was also evaluated once illness was diagnosed. The supplement (Hyaloral) contained hyaluronic acid, hydrolysed collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, and gamm...

OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment for fibromyalgia syndrome. METHODS Two review authors independently selected the trials for the Meta-analysis, assessed their methodological quality and extracted relevant data. A quality assessment was conducted according to the Cochrane Review Handbook 5.0. RevMan 5.0.20 software was used in the statistica...

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO,). fractionation technique was evaluated as an altemativeprocess for reducing the free-fatty-acid (FFA) content and minimizing the phytosterolloss of rice bran oil (REO) during the process. The effects of pressure (20.5 to 32.0 MPa) and temperature (45 to 80 DC) for isothermal operation of the column on the composition of the resultant fractions were exarnine...

In our previous study, an early-maturing variety of rice (Oryza sativa L.), Jinbu can have feature with unique green color, various phytochemicals as well as nutritive components by the optimal early harvesting, called Green Rice(®) (GR). The aims of the present field experiments were to evaluate the changes in the weight of 1,000 kernels, yield, and contents of proximate and bioactive compound...
