Enzymatic synthesis of vanillyl fatty acid esters from salmon oil in a solvent-free medium.

This study hypothesizes that the solvent-free alcoholysis of oil recovered from salmon heads using vanillyl alcohol (VA) and immobilized lipase B can efficiently produce esters with enhanced stability and antioxidant properties. The objective was to investigate the selectivity and resulting ester profile, which may provide nutritional and functional advantages compared to supplementing oil with vanillyl alcohol. After 24 h, nearly complete conversion of vanillyl alcohol was achieved, leading to the production of various esters reflective of the oil's original fatty acid composition.

The Impact of Fortification on the Nutritional Composition and Quality Characteristics of Beef Burgers.

(C.V) is known for its high protein and nutrient contents and has been touted as a potential functional ingredient in food products. For this study, beef burgers were formulated with varying levels of fortification (0%, 0.

Potential of Low Cost Agro-Industrial Wastes as a Natural Antioxidant on Carcinogenic Acrylamide Formation in Potato Fried Chips.

Acrylamide is classified as a toxic and a prospective carcinogen to humans, and it is formed during thermal process via Maillard reaction. In order to find innovative ways to diminish acrylamide formation in potato chips, several extracts of agricultural wastes including potato peels, olive leaves, lemon peels and pomegranate peels extracts were examined as a soaking pre-treatment before frying step. Total phenolic, total flavonoids, antioxidant activity, and the reduction in sugar and asparagine contents were additionally performed.

Improvement of Selected Morphological, Physiological, and Biochemical Parameters of Roselle ( L.) Grown under Different Salinity Levels Using Potassium Silicate and Extract.

Two successive field trials were carried out at the experimental farm of the Agriculture Department of Fayoum University, Fayoum, Egypt, to investigate the sole or dual interaction effect of applying a foliar spray of extract (Ae) or potassium silicate (KSi) on reducing the stressful salinity impacts on the development, yield, and features of roselle ( L.) plants. Both Ae or KSi were used at three rates: 0% (0 cm L), 0.

Evaluation of Egyptian honeys and their floral origins: phenolic compounds, antioxidant activities, and antimicrobial characteristics.

This study reports the physicochemical characterization of clover (Trifolium hybridum) and citrus (Citrus sinensis) honeys produced in Fayoum, Egypt, by evaluating the analysis of moisture content, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), electric conductivity (EC), total sugars, crude protein, ash content, total acidity, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and total phenolic compounds (TPC). Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of honey extracts and their flower extracts were determined. The results clearly indicated that ethanol gave the highest extraction yield of both clover and citrus flowers, while ethyl acetate showed the highest extraction recovery for the phenolic compounds, with TPC amounting to 338.

Chemical analysis of aqueous extracts of Origanum majorana and Foeniculum vulgare and their efficacy on Blastocystis spp. cysts.

Background: Origanum majorana (O. majorana) and Foeniculum vulgare (F. vulgare) are traditionally used herbs in Egypt for treatment of several diseases including parasitic diseases.

Chemical analysis and giardicidal effectiveness of the aqueous extract of Cymbopogon citratus Stapf.

Unlabelled: Searching for new effective and safe treatment of Giardia lamblia (G. lamblia) parasite is mandatory. The aim was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo effectiveness of an aqueous extract prepared from the leaves of Cymbagogon citratus (CcAE) against G.
