Commonly cultivated Brassicaceae mustards, namely garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata), white mustard (Brassica alba), Ethiopian mustard (B. carinata), Asian mustard (B. juncea), oilseed rape (B. napus), black mustard (B. nigra), rapeseed (B. rapa), white ball mustard (Calepina irregularis), ball mustard (Neslia paniculata), treacle mustard (Erysimum repandum), hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officina...

Ethnobotanical investigations on local oilseed species in Burkina Faso revealed that oils from tree oilseeds are frequently used for food, cosmetics and traditional medicine by local people. To test the bio-preservative capacity, the effect of the oilseed extracts on the stabilization of Shea butter was evaluated. Levels of bioactive phyto-components were evaluated through several methods. Some...

Optimization of process variables has become very vital in oil extraction processes to obtain maximum yield from oilseeds and nuts. This work focussed on the optimization sandbox seed by mechanical expression. Effects moisture content, roasting temperature, time, expression pressure time was studied using a 5×5 Central Composite Rotatable Design Response Surface Methodology experimental design....

Proteins play an imperative role in enhancing the nutritional status of human body. The present study was designed to determine molecular weight protein isolates prepared from defatted oilseeds, i.e., sesame, flaxseed, and canola, using SDS-PAGE. electropherogram revealed bands ranging 15 65 kDa. Furthermore, proteins were subjected amino acid profiling followed by calculation score with refere...

Dietary lipids can suppress methane emission from ruminants, but effects are variable. Especially the role of bacteria, archaea, fungi and protozoa in mediating the lipid effects is unclear. In the present in vitro study, archaea, fungi and protozoa were selectively inhibited by specific agents. This was fully or almost fully successful for fungi and protozoa as well as archaeal activity as det...
