Abstract:
... Commercially available sunflower oil and the same oil distilled additionally in a molecular evaporator (to remove naturally occurring compounds) was spiked with benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) at the levels of 37.1 and 38.6 μg/kg, respectively. Then, it was filled into polyethylene terephtalate (PET) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) receptacles of cylindrical shape, and BaP concentration was followed w ...

Abstract:
... From available and bio-sourced methyl esters, monoglycerides or oleic sunflower refined oil, the corresponding 1-O-alkyl (di)glycerol ethers were obtained in both high yields and selectivity by two different pathways. With methyl esters, a reductive alkylation with (di)glycerol was realized under 50 bar hydrogen pressure in the presence of 1 mol% of Pd/C and an acid co-catalyst. A second two step ...

These peoples lived according to their own rules and in harmony with their magnificent ...
