A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) reliable and sensitive method with diode array detection (DAD) system has been developed for the determination of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) in flaxseed oil. An analytical methodology based on the sample extraction with methanol/water (80:20, v/v), subsequent purification of the sample and analysis of the extract by HPLC/DAD is proposed for the determination of SDG in flaxseed oil. The coefficient of determination of the standard calibration curve was 0.999, the limit of detection was 0.08μg/mL, and the limit of quantification was 0.27μg/mL. The recovery test was conducted adding four different concentrations of standard solution to the blank sample. The recovery ranged from 90% to 95%. To our knowledge, the presence and quantification of SDG in flaxseed oil has never been reported. The proposed method was tested to study the variation in SDG content in flaxseed oil during a shelf-life test to verify its applicability in quality control for oil industries. The dark and the low temperature of storing together allowed to preserve SDG. A slight pro-oxidant effect was observed for the addition of antioxidant to the flaxseed oil.

Liver fibrosis is a significant contributor to global morbidity and mortality, making the identification of non-toxic natural therapies to slow its progression essential. This study evaluated the anti-fibrotic potential of a nutraceutical blend comprising extra virgin olive oil, linseed oil, and ginger extract, formulated in both emulsion and nanoemulsion forms, using a rat model of liver fibrosis. Nanoemulsions were prepared using the ultrasonication technique, and their particle size and stability were analyzed via the DLS method.

Purpose: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease that severely impairs patient's life quality and represents significant therapeutic challenge due to its pathophysiology arising from skin barrier dysfunction. Topical corticosteroids, the mainstay treatment for mild to moderate AD, are usually formulated into conventional dosage forms that are impeded by low drug permeation, resulting in high doses with consequent adverse effects, and also lack properties that would strengthen the skin barrier. Herein, we aimed to develop biomimetic lamellar lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs), offering a novel alternative to conventional AD treatment.

The effect of ozone treatment on the sensory quality, aroma compounds, phytosterols, and phytosterol oxidation products (POP) in stored plant oils was studied. Cold-pressed flaxseed, cold-pressed rapeseed, and refined rapeseed oils were treated with ozone, air, and nitrogen, then subjected to accelerated storage at 60 °C for 6 days. The sensory evaluation revealed that ozone significantly influenced the sensory profile, with notable cucumber and green-grassy aromas.
