Evaluation of soybean oil-wax oleogel as a healthy ingredient for aerogel whipped cream rich in unsaturated fatty acids.

Aerosol whipped cream, widely used in various foods, relies on solid fats rich in saturated fatty acids (SFAs) for stable gas entrapment. In this study, the potential of oleogels as a healthy fat substitute for formulating aerosol whipped cream was studied. The analysis focused on the effects of different types (beeswax [BW], rice bran wax [RW], and carnauba wax) and the quantities of wax on the properties of the aerosol whipped creams.

Hexane extract of green tea () leaves is an exceptionally rich source of squalene.

Squalene is a cancer chemo-preventive and skin protective agent with high commercial demand. Here, we report for the first time that the green tea () leaves is a surprisingly rich plant-based source of squalene. Young and tender leaves and old and turf leaves were collected at four different collecting seasons (April-August).

Inorganic arsenic contents in ready-to-eat rice products and various Korean rice determined by a highly sensitive gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Rice and rice products have been reported to contain high contents of toxic inorganic arsenic (iAs). The inorganic arsenic contents in microwavable ready-to-eat rice products (n=30) and different types of Korean rice (n=102) were determined by a gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The method showed low limit of detection (0.
