Catalytic Activity of Ruthenium Nanoparticles Supported on Carbon Nanotubes for Hydrogenation of Soybean Oil
Dec 01, 2009; ... Abstract Ruthenium catalysts supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) with different loadings (1% wt, 3% wt, 5% wt) were prepared by reduction with H^sub 2^ or NaBH^sub 4^ for selective hydrogenation of soybean oil at 338 K and initial pressure of 1.066 MPa. These catalysts were ...
Analysis of Cod-Liver Oil Adulteration Using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy
Dec 01, 2009; ... Abstract Analysis of the adulteration of cod-liver oil with much cheaper oil-like animal fats has become attractive in recent years. This study highlights an application of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as a nondestructive and fast technique for the determination of ...
Cholesterol, Lipid Content, and Fatty Acid Composition of Different Tissues of Farmed Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) from China
Dec 01, 2009; ... Abstract Marine fishes are rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are extremely important for human health. The objective of our work was to determine the content and composition of lipids and fatty ...
Physical Properties of Rice Bran Wax in Bulk and Organogels
Dec 01, 2009; ... Abstract Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to examine the thermal behavior, crystal structure, and crystal morphology of rice bran wax (RBX) in bulk and oil-wax mixtures, and to compare them with those of carnauba wax (CRX) ...
Characteristics of Oil from Hulless Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Bran from Tibet
Dec 01, 2009; ... Abstract The bran of hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) from Tibet was investigated. This paper reports on the physicochemical characteristics, lipid classes and fatty acids of the oil from the bran. The petroleum (60-90 °C) extract of hulless barley bran was found to be 8.1%. The ...
