We investigated the efficacy of fish oils in Portuguese patients with hypertriglyceridaemia and mixed hyperlipidaemia, and the influence of fish consumption on the triglyceride lowering capacity of fish oils. Forty patients participated in this double-blind study, consisting of a 4-week dietary or wash-out baseline period after which patients were randomly assigned to receive either 12 fish oil...

Interesterification is a process used to amend the physico-chemical characteristics of oils and fats. There are numerous frightful health problems are associated with trans fats due to this the food industry has been effectively perfecting another 'man-made' replacement to ensure that sales and profits of company are remained at a high level. This new solution is called interesterification, a t...

The global method for detection of extraneous oils in different kinds of olive oils as a new method for identification of adulterations is applied using HPLC and GC data by calculations ECN (equivalent carbon number) and R (which is the ratio r ECN42/ r ECN44 for genuineness of all olive oils) according to IOOC method. In this research the global method and ECN42 (difference between the actual ...

Acrylic bone cements have an elastic modulus several times higher than the surrounding trabecular bone. This has been hypothesized to contribute to certain clinical complications. There are indications that the addition of specific fatty acids and triglyceride oils may reduce the elastic modulus of these types of cements. Some of these additives also appear to have inherent antibiotic propertie...

Increasing world population has markedly increased the demand for vegetable oils domestic and industrial purposes. Plant-based have been identified as one of with high nutritive value. Castor plant is oilseed rich oil content owing to its monounsaturated fatty acid bioactive compounds. Its profile constitutes mainly ricinoleic other minor acids such stearic, palmitic, oleic acid. Ricinoleic cas...

erythromycin production is clearly enhanced by the addition of vegetable oils. however,whether this positive effect is brought about by the triglyceride or non-triglyceride fraction, isnot clear. the non-triglyceride portions of the oils accumulate in the waste during the refiningprocess leaving mainly triglycerides in the refined oil. in this research, sub-fractions of soybeanoil, including le...

The role of the fatty acid (FA) composition triglycerides (TAGs) on sterol/sterol ester oleogels has been studied. Minor oil components three vegetable oils with varying degrees unsaturation (iodine values, IV) were removed. Typical quality parameters determined before and after treatment, produced using all six oils. Characteristic gel properties such as transition temperatures, mechanical mic...
