hydrogenation of oils might be considered as the largest reaction in the edible oil industry. the reaction consists of the addition of hydrogen at the double bounds of fatty acids. although for some reasons this might be considered a desirable reaction but for some others it might create problems in the food and nutrition chain circle due to the formation of saturated and trans fatty acids. soy...

Four experiments were conducted to evaluate lipid digestibility in finishing swine fed chemically hydrogenated fats. Dietary chromic oxide was used as an inert marker to measure the apparent digestibility of supplemental fat (SF) that consisted of fully hydrogenated (FH), partially hydrogenated (PH), or PH products blended with other fat sources. In Exp. 1, diets containing 5% SF (as-fed basis)...

IT has been reported in a previous communication [Spiegel-Adolf, 1932, 1] that, contrary to the Hofmeister series, colloidal solutions of egg-lecithin show a greater decrease in viscosityon addition of bromides than on addition of chlorides, iodides and thiocyanates. These results combined with more recent interferometric studies [Spiegel-Adolf, 1932, 2] were explained as due to reaction of mol...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the iodine deficiency, prevalence of goitre among schoolchildren and measuring environmental iodine in Taif city, Saudi Arabia. METHODS A cross-sectional multistage cluster-sampling methodology was done on 1887 schoolchildren. Their urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and goitre prevalence was assessed. Blood level of triiodothyronin, thyroxine and thyroid-...

iodine is an essential trace element in the human diet. the following work presents the latest information concerned with iodine determination in raw milk, in iran. iodine content of milk was determined by sandell-kolthoff method where the samples were taken from holstein dairy cows, in shahrkord, the central part of iran. thirty six samples were taken from transportation tanks in semi industri...

Five multiparious Holstein cows, arranged in a 5 5 Latin square design, were fed a control diet (no supplemental fat) and diets containing 5% of the following fat supplements: ̄aked tallow with a low iodine value of 14.4 (FTL), prilled tallow with a low iodine value of 14.5 (PTL), prilled tallow with a medium iodine value of 25.8 (PTM) and fancy bleachable tallow with a high iodine value of 62 ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between tumor size and blood volume for patients with lung tumors, using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) and a gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) viewer. During the period from March 2011 to March 2013, 50 patients with 57 medically inoperable lung tumors underwent DECT before stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of 50-60 Gy in ...
