Abstract:
... 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was first registered in 1947 as an agricultural herbicide, and it is still the most widely used herbicide worldwide. End-use products, however, are generally formulated as inorganic or amine salts, or as esters. Because of the various forms available, there was concern that by testing only one form, the environmental profile generated might be insufficient to ...
... Steryl esters of fatty acids have been isolated from vegetable oils by rapid chromatography on a short column of silica gel and quantitatively determined by HPLC on RP-18 columns using an evaporative light scattering detector that was calibrated with beta-sitosteryl oleate as external standard. The steryl esters isolated according to the above technique from corn, soybean, and rapeseed oils at dif ...
... Distilled Key lime oil (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) from Mexico has been analyzed by GC/MS and GC/FT-IR with cryofocusing capability. A total of 98 compounds have been identified. Thirty-three of these have not been reported previously for distilled Key lime oil. Quantitative data based on internal standard and response factors is presented for distilled lime oil and compared to cold pressed lime ...

Abstract:
... An improved method was developed to analyze the major furanoid esters in soybean oil. The method is based on urea fractionation of the methyl esters, silver ion chromatography, and gas chromatography of the furanoid concentrate. Activation of the soybean lipoxygenase decreased the amount of furanoid ester recovered from the oil, but the degumming of crude soybean oil and the choice of solvent used ...
... The antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts of mung bean hulls was investigated. Extracts at a concentration of 100 ppm exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than 100 ppm dl-α-tocopherol (Toc) or 100 ppm butylated hydroxyanisole on the peroxidation of linoleic acid. Moreover, a synergistic effect was observed when 100 ppm of the extract was mixed with 100 ppm Toc. Also, the extracts showed g ...
... The oxidative stability of ethyl linoleate (LA), ethyl linolenate (LN), and ethyl docosahexaenoate (DHA) in an aqueous solution was compared by measuring the decrease in unoxidized substrate and the formation of total hydroperoxides, conjugated dienes, and monohydroperoxides (MHPs). The highest stability was shown by DHA, this being followed by LN and LA in both cases when using Fe²⁺-ascorbic acid ...
... Twenty-four samples of four European virgin olive oil varieties -- Arbequina, Coratina, Koroneiki, and Picual, cultivated in Greece, Italy, and Spain -- have been analyzed from their chemical composition (either nonvolatile compounds (31) -- fatty acids, sterols, alcohols, and methylsterols -- or volatile ones (65) -- aldehydes, alcohols, furans, hydrocarbons, acids, ketones, and esters), sensory ...

Abstract:
... Biosynthesis of GA73 methyl ester (GA73-Me), the principal antheridiogen in Lygodium ferns, was investigated. From the methanol extract of prothallia of Lygodium circinnatum, GA25, GA73, GA73-Me, GA88-Me, and a few unknown GA73 derivatives were detected by CC-MS. Because the presence of GA25 suggests that GA24, a direct precursor of GA25, could also be present in L. circinnatum prothallia, we used ...
... Numerous vegetable oil methyl esters covering the entire range of fatty acid patterns of vegetable oils were investigated with a standard distillation apparatus. The course of the boiling curves and the suspected relationship between the drop in boiling temperatures and the start of decomposition are discussed. The suitability of the methyl esters for diesel engines was evaluated with regard to co ...
... Hydrolysis specificities of lipase from Rhizomucor miehei were compared for various fatty acyl ethyl esters. Activity yields of immobilized lipases, measured with 1 mM substrate, were more than 100%. Differences in hydrolysis rate and affinity for the substrates between lipase preparations were also typically higher during hydrolysis of substrates at 100 mM than at 1 mM, indicating better mass tra ...
... Contents of hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids, hydroxycinnamic esters, and monomeric and dimeric derivatives of flavan-3-ol during biological aging of dry pale sherry white wine were measured and compared between wine without aging and wines in five different stages of aging. The results show a significant decrease in the levels of vanillic and ferulic acids, catechin, epicatechin and procy ...
... Cell-suspension cultures of Vitis vinifera L. cv Pinot Noir accumulated resveratrol upon fungal elicitation, and the activity of S-adenosyl-1-methionine:trans-caffeoyl-coenzyme A 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT), yielding feruloyl-CoA, increased to a transient maximum at 12 to 15 h. CCoAOMT cDNA was cloned from the elicited cells and was shown to encode a polypeptide highly homologous to CCoAOMTs f ...

Abstract:
... The physicochemical indices and the qualitative and quantitative composition of the volatile fraction and the oxygenated heterocyclic fraction of cold-pressed Key lime oil (types A and B) and Persian lime oil are reported. The volatile fraction of Persian lime oil is characterized by a higher content of limonene, gamma-terpinene, esters, and monoterpene aldehydes and a lower content of beta-pinene ...

Abstract:
... The recent finding that leaf surface glycolipids of Petunia X hybrida Hort. plants possess insecticidal activity against sweetpotato whiteflies prompted a search for the specific compounds responsible for this biological activity. Successive liquid chromatographic fractionations of an extract of cuticular chemicals of Petunia plants yielded distinct fractions of two glucose esters and four sucrose ...

Abstract:
... Lipid-protein particles bearing the 55-kD ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) (EC 4.1.1.39) large subunit (RLSU) and no detectable corresponding Rubisco small subunit (RSSU) were isolated from the stroma of intact chloroplasts by flotation centrifugation. Stromal RLSU-bearing particles appear to originate from thylakoids because they can also be generated in vitro by illumina ...
... The application of lipases to the synthesis of amino acid-based surfactants was investigated. Low yields (2-9%) were obtained in the acylation of free amino acids, such as l-serine and l-lysine, as well as their ethyl esters and amides with fatty acids, owing in part to low miscibility of the reactants. When the N-carbobenzyloxy (Cbz)-l-amino acids were used in an effort to improve miscibility of ...
... Photosensitized oxidation reactions damage tissue by catalyzing the formation of oxyradicals and singlet oxygen. beta-Carotene is hypothesized to exert photoprotective effects by quenching singlet oxygen formed by Type II reactions and by scavenging free radicals formed by Type I reactions. beta-Carotene antioxidant mechanisms were studied in a phospholipid membrane model of photooxidation with a ...

Abstract:
... A quantitative fingerprinting of automotive lubricants with respect to zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates (ZDP), major anti-wear/antioxidant additives, is presented. ZDPs in lubricant solutions are converted into the corresponding methyl and p-nitrobenzylic esters, respectively. After removal of the lubricant matrix the methyl esters are submitted to gas chromatography (GC). Mass spectrometric detectio ...
... The steryl ester content and composition of 28 samples from 10 vegetable oil types have been determined by isolation of the steryl esters by high-performance liquid chromatography and analysis by gas chromatography. The oils can be classified into oils with a high content (>4000 mg/kg) of steryl esters (corn and rapeseed); oils with a medium content (1400-2400 mg/kg) of steryl esters (sunflower oi ...
... Twenty-one groups of weanling male Wistar rats were fed semipurified diets containing 5% (w/w) of different dietary fats. After 2 wk, liver sphingomyelin (SM) fatty acid composition was determined. The ratio of 24∶1 to 24∶0 in liver SM varied over a tenfold range in response to dietary fat type. Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that dietary 24∶1, 24∶0, and 22∶1 were the most signifi ...
