Improving the storage and oxidative stability of essential fatty acids by different encapsulation methods; a review.

Linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid are the only essential fatty acids (EFAs) known to the human body. Other fatty acids (FAs) of the omega-6 and omega-3 families originate from linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid, respectively, by the biological processes of elongation and desaturation. In diets with low fish consumption or vegetarianism, these FAs play an exclusive role in providing two crucial FAs for maintaining our body's vital functions; docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid.

Energy modeling to compensate for the seasonal lack of electrical and thermal energy depending on the different climates of Iran.

Renewable energy sources are in focus for environment-friendly power generation when compared to non-renewable sources. Modeling an energy system of a statistical population can shed light on the possibilities and potential of using renewable resources. In this study, energy modeling of 4 provinces of Iran with different climates is done for 2020 and 2032.

Drying temperatures affect the qualitative-quantitative variation of aromatic profiling in L. ecotypes as an industrial-medicinal-vegetable plant.

Introduction: There are several factors that affect the quality and quantity of active ingredients and essential oil (EO) content, including pre and postharvest practices such as drying conditions. One of the most important factors in drying is temperature and then selective drying temperature (DT). In general, DT has a direct effect on the aromatic properties of .

Characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients during the BA.5 omicron wave in Tehran, Iran: a prospective observational study.

Background: Omicron (B.1.1.

Biodegradable carboxymethyl cellulose-polyvinyl alcohol composite incorporated with L. essential oil: Physicochemical and antibacterial features.

L. root essential oil (GGEO) has well-known antimicrobial and therapeutic features. In this study, a new antimicrobial carboxymethyl cellulose-polyvinyl alcohol (CMC-PVA) binary film was developed using GGEO as an active compound.

A comparative study on the effect of homogenization conditions on the properties of the film-forming emulsions and the resultant films.

Emulsions based on licorice essential oil (LEO) were prepared under different homogenization conditions (ultra-homogenization (U1) or U1 together with sonication (U2)). The obtained emulsions were incorporated into the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) film. The results showed that U2 caused significant changes in the size and the surface charge of the emulsions.

The effect of Macro and Nano-emulsions of cinnamon essential oil on the properties of edible active films.

The effect of Nano-emulsion (NE) and Macro-emulsion (ME) of cinnamon essential oil (CEO) on the properties of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based films was investigated. MEs (diameters of 242-362 nm) and NEs (diameters of 59-80 nm) of CEO were produced through Ultra-Turrax and Ultrasonication, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy () and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images showed different morphologies in the films containing ME and NE, also a denser and more uniform microstructure was observed in the NE films in comparison with the ME ones.
