The effect of soursop-flower-enriched fried palm olein on some biochemical and hematological parameters of rats.

This work set out to, first, assess the role of soursop flower extracts (SFE) in limiting palm olein oxidation during the production of plantain chips, before ascertaining the effect of these soursop-flower-enriched fried palm olein on some biochemical and hematological parameters of rats. The extracts were added to 1.5 kg of oil at 1000, 1400, and 1800 ppm, while BHT at 200 ppm served as a positive control (PO+BHT), and the oil without additives was the negative control (PO).

Mean moisture, ash, lipid, protein, fiber, and carbohydrate contents of raw sunflower seeds were 6.60%, 2.

Effect of oven and sun drying on the chemical properties, lipid profile of soursop () seed oil, and the functional properties of the defatted flour.

Soursop seeds present a potential source of edible oil production. This work was aimed at determining the effect of oven and sun drying on the chemical properties and lipid profile of soursop seed oil as well as the functional properties of the defatted seed flour. The chemical properties, lipid profiles, and functional properties of soursop seeds dried for 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 hr, and 0, 1, 3, and 5 days, respectively, in the oven and on the sun using time T0 as the control sample were determined using oil quality indices, gas phase chromatography, and functionality tests for flours, respectively, with a view of highlighting the potentials of the defatted seed.

Nutritional, sensory, physico-chemical, phytochemical, microbiological and shelf-life studies of natural fruit juice formulated from orange (), lemon (, Honey and Ginger ().

Orange (), lemon (, ginger () and honey contain nutrients and phytochemicals that are beneficial to health. Most of the available fruit drinks are artificial and may contain a lot of chemicals which could be unhealthy and detrimental to the health of the consumers. This work was aimed at formulating a healthy fruit drink from the combination (blend) of orange, lemon, ginger and honey for the development of a new product.

Effect of and spice extract powders on the lipid quality of groundnuts pudding during steam cooking.

Groundnut seeds contain higher concentrations of unsaturated lipids which are prone to oxidation in formulated foods. This study determined the antioxidant activities of water extract powders from two spices ( and ) and their ability to preserve the quality of lipids in groundnuts pudding during steam cooking with 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4% of spice extract powders.

seed oil from west Cameroon: Chemical characterization and assessment of its hypolipidemic effect in high-fat diet-induced rats.

In this study, the in vivo hypolipidemic effect of west Cameroonian variety seed oil (PE) was assessed in female and male rats. The chemical properties of the oil were evaluated through the determination of the peroxide, iodine, and thiobarbituric acid values, as well as its fatty acid composition using gas chromatography. Results showed that the oil extraction yield was 19.

Effect of boiling and roasting on the physicochemical properties of Djansang seeds ().

This study was aimed at determining the effect of boiling and roasting on physicochemical properties of Djansang seeds. Dried Djansang seeds were divided into three groups: one group was boiled for 5, 10, and 15 min; another group was traditionally roasted for 5, 10, and 15 min, and the last group was left unprocessed and served as the control. Polyphenols were extracted from the processed seeds using the maceration method, and their content and antioxidant activity were evaluated.

Alteration of the lipid of red carp () during frozen storage.

The aim of this study was to determine the oxidative stability of oil extracted from red carp fish frozen up to 9 months at -18°C. To assess oil stability of red carp fish, the analytical indexes and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used. These methodologies used provided similar conclusions.

Optimization of the extraction of natural antioxidants from leaves and evaluation of their ability to preserve palm olein from oxidation during accelerated storage.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the extraction of phenolic antioxidants of leaves and to evaluate the effect of optimized extract and storage time on the stability of palm olein. The optimization of the extraction process was conducted, and the total polyphenol value of 127.06 mg GAE/g and scavenging activity of 90.

Effect of Boiling and roasting on lipid quality, proximate composition, and mineral content of walnut seeds produced and commercialized in Kumba, South-West Region Cameroon.

The effect of boiling and roasting on the lipid quality, proximate composition, and mineral content of African walnut seeds () was assessed. Results indicated that the quality of walnut oil significantly ( < .05) reduces with the treatments.
