TL;DR: In this article, the chemical constitution and antioxidant activity of the essential oils of the aerial parts of Artemisia dracunculus L. and the flower heads of Matricaria chamomilla L. were explored.
Abstract: The present study explores the chemical constitution and antioxidant activity of the essential oils of the aerial parts of Artemisia dracunculus L. and the flower heads of Matricaria chamomilla L. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of ( Z)-anethole (51.72%), (Z)-�-ocimene (8.32%), methyleugenol (8.06%), limonene (4.94%) and linalool (4.41%) in Artemisia dracunculus and ( E)-�-farnesene (24.19%), guaiazulene (10.57%), �bisabolol oxide A (10.21%), �-farnesene (8.7%) and �-bisabolol (7.27%) in M. chamomilla L.. The antioxidant activity (AOA) of the essential oils was investigated using DPPH • (2, 2 �-diphenyl 1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging and �-carotene/linoleic acid methods. The essential oil EC 50 values were determined as 3.19±0.13 and 5.63±0.20 mg ml -1 for A. dracunculus and M. chamomilla , respectively. Further, the A. dracunculus L. essential oil (ADEO) and M. chamomilla L. essential oil (MCEO) were able to reduce the oxidation rate of soybean oil under accelerated conditions at 60 °C (oven test).

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for extracting antioxidants from Noble oats with methanol was modified to improve the antioxidant activity, and the extract was tested in soybean and cottonseed oils held at 30 and 60°C in the dark and at 30°c in the light.
Abstract: A previously published method for extracting antioxidants from Noble oats with methanol was modified to improve the antioxidant activity. The extract was tested in soybean and cottonseed oils held at 30 and 60°C in the dark and at 30°C in the light. During storage, the peroxide values (PV) of the oils were generally significantly lower (P≤0.05) with the addition of the extract than was the control (no additives), and the PV were slightly higher than for oils containing TBHQ. In addition, the extract was added to emulsions of the same oils and held at 30°C in the light and at 60°C in the dark. The PV of the emulsions containing the extract were significantly lower (P≤0.05) than were the PV of those containing tertiary butylhydroquinone and the control.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a diet high in fish oil was associated with less colon cancer and monounsaturated fat promotes colon tumors and N-3 polyunsaturated fat inhibits colon tumors.
Abstract: High‐fat, high‐cholesterol diets have been linked to colon cancer in both epidemiological and animal studies. Saturated and N‐6 polyunsaturated fats have both been implicated as playing causative roles. Epidemiological studies have shown a reduced colon cancer incidence in populations consuming a large quantity of N‐3 polyunsaturated fat. This study asked whether N‐3 polyunsaturated fat found in fish oil would also be associated with reduced colon cancer in animal studies. 1,2‐Dimethylhydrazine was used to induce colon cancer in mice fed three high‐fat, high‐cholesterol diets (beef tallow, safflower oil, and fish oil) and one low‐fat, cholesterol‐free diet (soybean oil). Colon adenocarcinomas developed in 55% of mice fed tallow, 48% of those fed low‐fat diets, 33% of those fed safflower oil, and 18% of those fed fish oil (p < 0.05). Tumors per animal were also greatest in mice fed tallow and fewest in those fed fish oil (p < 0.05). Plasma cholesterol levels were significantly higher in mice fed t...

TL;DR: The study illustrated the effects of climate factors on soybean protein and oil contents and proposed agronomic practices for improving soybean quality in different regions of China and provides a foundation for the regionalization of high-quality soybean production in China and similar regions in the world.
Abstract: From 2010 to 2013, 763 soybean samples were collected from an extensive area of China. The correlations between seed compositions and climate data were analyzed. The contents of crude protein and water-soluble protein, total amount of protein plus oil, and most of the amino acids were positively correlated with an accumulated temperature ≥15 °C (AT15) and the mean daily temperature (MDT) but were negatively correlated with hours of sunshine (HS) and diurnal temperature range (DTR). The correlations of crude oil and most fatty acids with climate factors were opposite to those of crude protein. Crude oil content had a quadratic regression relationship with MDT, and a positive correlation between oil content and MDT was found when the daily temperature was <19.7 °C. A path analysis indicated that DTR was the main factor that directly affected soybean protein and oil contents. The study illustrated the effects of climate factors on soybean protein and oil contents and proposed agronomic practices for improving soybean quality in different regions of China. The results provide a foundation for the regionalization of high-quality soybean production in China and similar regions in the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the viscosities of five vegetable oils (Babassu oil, Buriti oil, Brazil nut oil, macadamia oil, and grape seed oil) as a function of temperature and correlated by empirical equations.
Abstract: Densities and viscosities of five vegetable oils (Babassu oil, Buriti oil, Brazil nut oil, macadamia oil, and grape seed oil) and of three blends of Buriti oil and soybean oil were measured as a function of temperature and correlated by empirical equations The estimation capability of two types of predictive methodologies was tested using the measured data The first group of methods was based on the fatty acid composition of the oils, while the other was based on their triacylglycerol composition, as a multicomponent system In general, the six models tested presented a good representation of the physical properties considered in this work A simple method of calculation is also proposed to predict the dynamic viscosity of methyl and ethyl ester biodiesels, based on the fatty acid composition of the original oil Data presented in this work and the developed model can be valuable for designing processes and equipment for the edible oil industry and for biodiesel production
