Butanethiol was used in ultraviolet-initiated thiol-ene reaction with canola and corn oils to produce sulfide-modified vegetable oils (SMVO). The crude SMVO product was successfully purified by solvent extraction, vacuum evaporation, and silica gel chromatography. The SMVO products were
Eight multiparous and 8 primiparous Holstein cows were used in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design with 4-wk periods to determine the effects on dairy cow performance of feeding corn germ (CG) compared with dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) or corn oil (CO). Four isolipidic dietary
The efficiency of natural minerals, i.e. zeolite, bentonite and goethite, regarding the retention of chromium, from maize was examined. Specifically, 1.0 kg of soil, 1.0 g of soil amendment and either 50 mg L-1 Cr(III) or 1 mg L-1 Cr(VI) were added in plant pots. Then, seeds of maize were
Expression of the gene coding for nitrite reductase (NiR) is induced upon the addition of nitrate. We have analyzed this induction process in hydroponically grown maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings where the level of nitrate in the medium can be easily manipulated. There is a rapid induction of NiR mRNA
Honey is a natural product of high quality. However, because of its limited production and of its relatively high price, some beekeepers or unscrupulous traders do not hesitate to modify and falsify this natural product in order to try to increase its market value. Then, these involved falsification
Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, phytochemicals and antioxidants making them unique compared to other foods. Consuming walnuts has been associated with health benefits including a reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome has been linked to several chronic
Biochar (BC) application could improve plant nitrogen (N) utilisation and potentially reduce N fertiliser requirements. However, the fate of N in crop-soil systems and the metabolic responses of crops under conditions of BC co-applied with reduced N are not well understood. The urea-15 N
Female rats (SIV-50, Sprague Dawley) given a diet enriched with corn oil (10% and 25% addition to rat chow, w/w) for four weeks showed changes in the energy metabolism of heart, liver and kidneys, that is, changes in oxygen consumption and uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation of heart, liver and
Soil pollution by arsenic increases the potential risk of arsenic entrance into the food chain. The usefulness of maleic anhydride- styrene- acrylic acid copolymer on the mobility and phytoavailability of arsenic was evaluated. Treatments were the concentrations of acrylic copolymer (0, 0.05, 0.10,
We have characterized three mutant alleles of the CER2 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana by sequencing polymerase chain reaction products of this gene generated with template DNA isolated from lines MK1, BRL7, and BRL17. Sequence analysis of the amplification product from line BRL17 revealed a 17-bp
The effect of added menadione (vitamin K3) on stored corn and wheat germ oil on the dissolution and dimerization of natural tocopherols and autoxidation of triacylglycerols was investigated. Samples of corn and wheat germ oils pure and with added menadione were stored at +20 degrees C in brown and
In this study, the removal of 17 selected PCBi congeners was assessed in a transformer oil-contaminated soil amended with bentonite clay powder applied at the three levels of 0, 2, and 4% and cultivated by Zea mays L. or Alternanthera sessilis L. in a pot experiment. Results
The oat × maize chromosome addition (OMA) lines, as hybrids between C3 and C4 plants, can potentially help us understand the process of C4 photosynthesis. However, photosynthesis is often affected by adverse environmental conditions, including drought stress. Therefore, to assess the functioning of
Beverage emulsions containing flavor oils that have a relatively high water-solubility are unstable to droplet growth due to Ostwald ripening. The aim of this study was to improve the stability of model beverage emulsions to this kind of droplet growth by incorporating poorly water-soluble
