consumption of food containing cholesterol and saturated fatty acids such as butter can increase serum cholesterol and cause cardiovascular diseases. therefore many efforts have been done for decreasing these constituents in foods. in this study, hazelnut and walnut powders were added to butter samples in amounts of 0 (not enriched sample), 10, 20 and 30% for evaluation of chemical characterist...

castor oil due to extraordinary physicochemical properties has numerous applications in pharmaceutical, chemical, hygienic, biodiesel and nowadays in food industries. during plant growth and development, as well as during postharvest and processing, different factors may affect caster oil properties. this study was conducted to evaluate oil content and physiochemical properties under different ...

in the present study, oxidative stability of canola oil extracted with hot press at 85-100ºc was compared with unheated canola oil extracted with cold press at 40-45ºc.the stability of oil was measured every week during a four months storage using free fatty acid, acid value, peroxide value, anisidine value, totex value and rancimat test. the results obtained showed that pretreatment and method...

the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of various refining processes’ conditions on conjugated dienes in soybean oil. conjugated dienes contents of soybean oil were found to undergo reduction in neutralization and bleaching steps while being increased in deodorization. it was observed that alkali refining (neutralization) through 12 and 14 °bé, bleaching with either acid ac...

in this study extract of olive leaf was added to butter samples at three concentrations, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5% and after vaccum packaging, were kept in refrigerator for 90 days. acid and peroxide value, microbial culture , polyphenol content of samples ,hardness, oxidative stability, sensory characteristics of samples including flavor, textural and apparent characteristics of samples and dpph radi...

this study was done to evaluate quality properties of pistacia atlantica var mutica (bene) nuts under deferent storage conditions and packaging. at the zero time, sfa and total tocopherol (tt) and total phenolic (tp) compounds were 6.8 and 725.28 and 40.1 mg per kg oil, respectively. some quality properties (peroxide value (pv), conjugated diene value (cdv) and carbonyle value (cv)) showed that...

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...

Waste oil is an inexpensive source for biodiesel production, but the high amount of impurities present (free fatty acids, oxidation products) impedes its practical application. The aim of this work is to assess the purification efficiency of the adsorption process with eggshell and its active carbon. Carbonization of eggshell was done at 200 ºC for 4 hours. For activation of the resultant carbo...
