TL;DR: The history of food adulteration and fraud and attempts at their control from the Middle Ages to date is traced for Belgium and for the UK with special reference to butter and margarine.
Abstract: The history of food adulteration and fraud and attempts at their control from the Middle Ages to date is traced for Belgium and for the UK with special reference to butter and margarine. The development of analytical procedures for the authentication of milk fat is outlined, from those based on the characterisation of fatty acids derived from milk fat in the nineteenth century to chromatographic methods in the next century and the recent rapid spectroscopic approaches. The importance of adequate surveillance programmes to reduce the incidence of food fraud is stressed.

TL;DR: The Buchanania lanzan seed oil appears to be a promising one as a commercial source of palmitic and oleic acids and on directed interesterification the oil yielded a product with a slip point of 41.5°C which may be suitable as a coating material for delayed action tablets.
Abstract: The fatty acid composition of Buchanania lanzan seed oil, determined by urea complex formation and gas liquid chromatography (g.l.c), was found to be: myristic, 0.6; palmitic, 33.4; stearic, 6.3; oleic, 53.7; and linoleic, 6.0%. Triglyceride compositions of the native seed oil and its randomised product were calculated from the fatty acid compositions of the triglycerides and of the corresponding 2-monoglycerides produced by pancreatic lipase hydrolysis. The oil is composed of 3.2, 35.8, 45.5 and 15.5% trisaturated, monounsaturated disaturated, diunsaturated monosaturated and triunsaturated glycerides respectively. The special characteristic of the B. lanzan seed oil is its content of 22.7, 31.0 and 11.3% dipalmitoolein, dioleopalmitin and triolein respectively. The percent GS3 content in the oil increased from 3.2 to 7.5 by the process of randomisation. On directed interesterification the oil yielded a product with a slip point of 41.5°C which may be suitable as a coating material for delayed action tablets. The oil also appears to be a promising one as a commercial source of palmitic and oleic acids.

TL;DR: The review aims to highlight the unexplored nutritional and pharmacological potential of African indigenous leafy vegetables Ceratotheca sesamoides and triloba in order to conserve and domesticate these species.
Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance Ceratotheca (Pedaliaceae) is an endemic African genus comprising of five species. The genus is commonly used as a leafy vegetable with medicinal properties. Aim of the review The review aims to highlight the unexplored nutritional and pharmacological potential of African indigenous leafy vegetables Ceratotheca sesamoides and triloba, in order to conserve and domesticate these species. Methods The information was obtained from various search engines such as Scopus, Google Scholar and Web of Science as well as Ethnobotanical books. Results Ceratotheca sesamoides and triloba have good nutritional potential. The species are high in energy levels, fat content, proteins and carbohydrate values. The species have also been reported to have good antibacterial, antidiarrhoeal, antidiabetic, antiplasmodial and antiviral properties. These species have slight toxicity and cytotoxic activity when extracted at high concentrations but no mutagenic activity was detected. Conclusions To date, few studies have documented the usage (nutrition and pharmacology) of Ceratotheca sesamoides and triloba. More studies investigating the nutritional content as well as methods of its improvement are necessary if the plant is to be included as a domesticated vegetable crop. Safety and toxicity analysis of this leafy vegetable need to be extensively studied as the plants are consumed in high quantities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the hauptsachlichsten Lander, in denen Lein in bedeutenden Mengen zwecks Samengewinnung angebaut wird, sind Rusland, Indien, Nordamerika, Kanada and Argentinien.
Abstract: Leinol kommt in den Samen des Flachses oder Leines (Linum usitatissimum L.) vor. Die hauptsachlichsten Lander, in denen Lein in bedeutenden Mengen zwecks Samengewinnung angebaut wird, sind Rusland, Indien, Nordamerika, Kanada und Argentinien. Im allgemeinen kann man die verschiedenen flachsbautreibenden Lander hinsichtlich des mit dem Leinbau verfolgten Zweckes in zwei ziemlich scharf getrennte Gruppen teilen, zu deren ersterer die Vereinigten Staaten von Nordamerika, Argentinien und Indien zahlen (Saatgewinnung), wahrend zur zweiten Gruppe (Faserverwertung) die meisten europaischen Lander, mit Ausnahme Ruslands, zu rechnen sind; dieses produziert sowohl Leinsaat, als auch Flachsfaser.
