The purpose of the research was to study seed lipids of cultivated plants: Medicago sativa, Ruta graveolens L., Linum usitatissimum L., which are growing on experimental field of I. Kutateladze Institute of Pharmacochemistry. From the above-mentioned plant seeds was obtained the sum of neutral and polar lipids, the classes were determined qualitatively. Using standard methods were determined some physico-chemical constant of oils. Fatty acids was established qualitatively and was determined quantitatively using Gas chromatography and High performance liquid chromatography methods. As a result of research in the seed oil of Medicago Sativa was revealed high percentage content of Oktadekadien - 9,12 fatty acid. Oktadekadien -9 dominates in the oil obtained from the seeds of Ruta graveolens L. and Oktadekantrien - 9,12,15 dominates in the oil obtained from the seeds of Linum usitatissimum L. Phospholipids were established qualitatively and using spectrophotometric method were determined In the sum of polar lipids: (λ 820 nm). The oils which are obtained from above-mentioned plant seeds contains biologically active compounds, which gives the opportunity to use these oils as in medical practice, also in cosmetology.

Aims: The sand-fixing desert shrub Artemisia sphaerocephala produces a large amount of seed mucilage, which plays crucial roles in the adaptation of this species to desert environments. Seed mucilage has been shown to be degraded by Phanerochaete chrysosporium from habitat soils, but the process and products of this degradation remain unclear. To fill this gap, we explored the factors and processes involved in mucilage degradation.

The winemaking process generates huge amounts of waste every year. Fermented grape pomace, the major by-waste product, holds significant value due to its chemical composition and technological properties. In this study a multi-omics approach was employed for the detailed molecular characterization of fermented grape pomace from Montepulciano grape, a widely used Italian red grape variety.

This study aimed to promote the valorization of lupin seeds by extracting both non-polar and polar fractions to produce a protein-rich flour suitable for food applications. Green extraction methods such as Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) and SFE followed by gas-expanded liquid extraction with ethanol/CO mixtures were employed. SFE yielded lupin oil with extraction yields ranging from 2.

To investigate the impact of safflower seed oil on the structural and digestive properties of complexes formed by fatty acids of varying chain lengths with maize starch, the starch-fatty acid ternary complexes were prepared by a hydrothermal method. The results indicated that safflower seed oil inhibited the complexation of relatively short-chain fatty acids (C10:0, C12:0, and C16:0) with starch, and promoted the complexation of long-chain fatty acids (C18:0). Intriguingly, safflower seed oil showed no significant impact on the formation of linoleic acid (C18:2) complexes, suggesting selective interactions within the starch-fatty acid complexes.
