oils and fats are substances that are important nutritionally and have important role and impact on human health. energy consumption and preservation in respect of food industry and the increase in the world population and search for new sources of oils and fats to full fill the need of the society particulary the nutritional requirements have introduced this research topic. therefore aim of th...

Ginseng seed oil was prepared using compressed, solvent, and supercritical fluid extraction methods of ginseng seeds, and the extraction yield, color, phenolic compounds, fatty acid contents, and phytosterol contents of the ginseng seed oil were analyzed. Yields were different depending on the roasting pretreatment and extraction method. Among the extraction methods, the yield of ginseng seed o...

Aqueous extraction of basil seed mucilage was optimized using response surface methodology. A Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for modeling of three independent variables: temperature (40-91 °C); extraction time (1.6-3.3 h) and water/seed ratio (18:1-77:1) was used to study the response for yield. Experimental values for extraction yield ranged from 7.86 to 20.5 g/100 g. Extraction yie...

as seed germination of guava (psidium guajava) is poor and time-consuming, the effects of seed extraction technique and scarification methods on the seed germination and seedling growth of guava cv. allahabad safeda, were investigated. first experiment was conducted on extraction of guava seeds using sulfuric acid (h2so4) : seed ratios including: 1:5, 2:5 and 3:5) or manual extraction (control)...

This work focuses on the study of the oil extraction yield from castor seed using three different seed conditions: whole, minced and bare endosperm. Taguchi design was used to determine the contribution of the following parameters: seed condition, seed load in the extractor, temperature, and pressure. It was proved that it is necessary to introduce the whole seed and that the presence of the pe...

tea and sesame seed oils extracted by different methods (including supercritical fluid extraction (sfe), at a pressure of 350 atm, a temperature of 60oc, a static extraction time of 20 minutes, a dynamic extraction time of 30 minutes and 150 g kg-1 of ethanol as a modifier). solvent (se) and ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction (ue)), as natural anti-oxidants, were evaluated during 15 days st...

The main objective of the current work was to evaluate the suitability of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) for the recovery of oil from papaya seed as compared to conventional extraction techniques (i.e., Soxhlet extraction (SXE) and solvent extraction (SE)). In the present study, the recovery yield, fatty acid composition and triacylglycerol profile of papaya seed oil obtained from differe...

Genomic tools for watermelon breeding are becoming increasingly available. A high throughput genotyping system would facilitate the use of DNA markers in marker-assisted selection. DNA extraction from leaf material requires prior seed germination and is often time-consuming and cost prohibitive. In an effort to develop a more efficient system, watermelon seeds of several genotypes and various s...

Seeded Region Growing technique is very attractive for medical image segmentation by involving the high-level knowledge of image components in the seed selection procedure. However, the Seeded Region Growing technique suffers from the problems of automatic seed generation. A seed point is the starting point for region growing and it’s choose is very crucial since the overall success of the segm...

BACKGROUND In this study, the fermentation of ginseng seeds was hypothesized to produce useful physiologically-active substances, similar to that observed for fermented ginseng root. Ginseng seed was fermented using Bacillus, Pediococcus, and Lactobacillus strains to extract ginseng seed oil, and the extraction yield, color, and quantity of phenolic compounds, fatty acids, and phytosterol were ...
