Article Synopsis
- * Various methods showed significant antioxidant activity and phenolic/flavonoid content, with the picual genotype being the most effective; OLE also inhibited α-glucosidase and provided hemolytic protection.
- * In living rats, OLE alone and in combination with metformin normalized blood glucose, lipid levels, and improved tissue health, suggesting its effectiveness as a treatment for type II diabetes.
In this work, the effects of using natural lignocellulosic-based adsorbents from sugarcane bagasse (SC), cornstalk piths (CP), and corn cob (CC) on the physicochemical properties and quality of fried oils were studied. The properties of lignocellulosic biomasses were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Moreover, the changes in the physicochemical properties of fresh, fried oils (for 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 h) and adsorbents-treated oils were examined.
