Article Synopsis
  • - The study compared the effectiveness of activated carbon, palm activated carbon, and zeolite in deodorizing horse oil (HO) extracted from horse neck fat, using deodorant-untreated HO as a baseline.
  • - While the yield and lipid oxidation of the deodorant-untreated HO were largely unchanged, deodorant-treated HOs had higher levels of beneficial fatty acids, with zeolite significantly reducing undesirable volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by over 90%.
  • - The findings indicate that adding zeolite during supercritical fluid extraction can greatly improve HO's quality by removing harmful odors and VOCs, which is beneficial for its use in cosmetics and functional foods.

Background: The roots of contain two types of tetracyclic triterpenoid saponins, namely, protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type saponins and protopanaxatiol (PPT)-type saponins. In , the protopanaxadiol 6-hydroxylase (PPT synthase) enzyme catalyses protopanaxatriol (PPT) production from protopanaxadiol (PPD). In this study, we constructed homozygous mutant lines of ginseng by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of the PPT synthase gene and obtained the mutant ginseng root lines having complete depletion of the PPT-type ginsenosides.
