TLDR
The roasting process modified some physicochemical properties and the fatty acid composition of the seed oil, particularly by decreasing its content of sterculic acid, to be the first report on the fatty acids composition of S. apetala seed oil.Abstract:
In the tropical rain forests of southeastern Mexico, the use of Sterculia mexicana and Sterculia apetala seed oils for human and animal nutrition is common. However, the seeds contain cyclopropene fatty acids, whose consumption is related with beneficial as well as detrimental physiological effects. The aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid profile and the physicochemical characteristics of S. apetala seed oil and to evaluate the effect of roasting on both aspects. Cyclopropenoic fatty acids, sterculic acid and malvalic acid were identified in the natural and roasted seed oils. The major component in the seed oil was sterculic acid, as has been reported for Sterculia mexicana and Sterculia foetida. The roasting process modified some physicochemical properties and the fatty acid composition of the seed oil, particularly by decreasing its content of sterculic acid. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the fatty acid composition of S. apetala seed oil.read more

TL;DR: Sterculic oil co-administration with 30% fructose in drinking water on the development of MS in male Wistar rats exerted a protective effect from MS development since parameters altered by fructose were similar to those of control rats.

TL;DR: The results showed that the consumption of sterculic oil decreased exploration latency in light/dark tests, which suggests an anxiolytic-like effect in Zucker rats, possibly related to intrinsic obesity and metabolic complications present in the Zucker rat model.

TL;DR: Ex vivo endogenous synthesis was the major source of cis-9, trans-11 CLA in milk fat of lactating cows and quantified its importance by increasing substrate supply using partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (PHVO) as a source of trans- 11 C18:1 and blocking endogenous synthesis using sterculic oil (SO) asA source of cyclopropene fatty acids which specifically inhibit Δ9-desaturase.

TL;DR: Whether inhibiting Delta9-desaturase with cyclopropenoic fatty acids, supplied by sterculic oil (SO), would reverse the cancer-protective effect observed with a dietary supplement of VA-enriched butter is investigated.
