Different edible oil beneficial effects (canola oil, fish oil, palm oil, olive oil, and soybean oil) on spontaneously hypertensive rat glomerular enlargement and glomeruli number

We have tested the different edible oil effects on the blood pressure (BP) control and the following glomerular protection. Six groups of 12-week-old male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) (n = 5), have received different edible oils (fish, canola, palm, olive, and soybean) or a placebo by gavage for 13 weeks. Renal cortex was analyzed through light microscopy and stereology. Usual BP increase, glomerulosclerosis, glomerular enlargement, and glomeruli loss in SHR has been prevented (fish, canola and palm oils) or attenuated (olive and soybean oils) by these oil long-term administration. The most favorable effect has been seen in the fish oil administration (source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, PUFA, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids), followed by both canola and palm oils (source of n-3 PUFA plus n-9 monounsaturated, MUFA, and saturated fatty acid, respectively), and finally both olive and soybean oils (source of n-9 MUFA and n-6 PUFA, respectively).     

Comparative life cycle assessment of rapeseed oil and palm oil

Background, aim and scope  

The environmental effect of globalisation has been debated intensively in the last decades. Only few well-documented analyses of global versus local product alternatives exist, whilst recommendations on buying local are vast. At the same time, the European Environmental Agency’s Third Assessment concludes that the resource use within the EU is stabilising at the expense of increased resource use for import of products to the EU. Taking its point of departure in vegetable oils, this article compares rapeseed oil and palm oil as a local and a global alternative for meeting the increasing demand for these products in the EU. By using detailed life cycle assessment (LCA), this study compares the environmental impacts and identifies alternative ways of producing rapeseed oil and palm oil to the EU market in order to reduce environmental impacts.     

Effect of lard oil,olive oil and castor oil on oxygen transfer in an agitated fermentor

Adding lard oil, olive oil or castor oil into a baffled and agitated fermentor decreased the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (K_La) in the low concentration range. However, K_La was increased when concentration reached 0.25% (v/v) at 400 rpm. Experimental results indicated that 1% (v/v) olive oil was as good as 0.1% (v/v) polypropylene glycol when added to a yeast fermentation.     

Statistical analysis of the size of heart mitochondria in rats fed sunflower oil, primor oil or rapeseed oil

The size distribution of heart mitochondria was studied in Wistar rats fed for 24 weeks a diet containing sunflower oil, primor oil or rapessed oil. The animals fed rapeseed oil showed larger heart mitochondria than the two other groups. This result could be attributed both to the presence of giant mitochondria and to an increase in size of the whole mitochondrial population. No difference was observed between the sunflower oil group and the primor oil group.     

Biodeterioration of crude oil and oil derived products: a review

Biodeterioration of crude oil and oil fuels is a serious economic and an environmental problem all over the world. It is impossible to prevent penetration of microorganisms in oil and fuels both stored in tanks or in oilfields after drilling. Both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms tend to colonise oil pipelines and oil and fuel storage installations. Complex microbial communities consisting of both hydrocarbon oxidizing microorganisms and bacteria using the metabolites of the former form an ecological niche where they thrive. The accumulation of water at the bottom of storage tanks and in oil pipelines is a primary prerequisite for development of microorganisms in fuels and oil and their subsequent biological fouling. Ability of microorganisms to grow both in a water phase and on inter-phase of water/hydrocarbon as well as the generation of products of their metabolism worsen the physical and chemical properties of oils and fuels. This activity also increases the amount of suspended solids, leads to the formation of slimes and creates a variety of operational problems. Nowadays various test-systems are utilized for microbial monitoring in crude oils and fuels; thus allowing an express determination of both the species and the quantities of microorganisms present. To suppress microbial growth in oils and fuels, both physico-mechanical and chemical methods are applied. Among chemical methods, the preference is given to substances such as biocides, additives, the anti-freezing agents etc that do not deteriorate the quality of oil and fuels and are environmentally friendly. This review is devoted to the analysis of the present knowledge in the field of microbial fouling of crude oils and oil products. The methods utilized for monitoring of microbial contamination and prevention of their undesirable activities are also evaluated. The special focus is given to Russian scientific literature devoted to crude oil and oil products biodeterioration.     

Intestinal absorption of fish oil in rats previously adapted to diets containing fish oil or corn oil.

A study was conducted to evaluate whether the composition of previous dietary fat affects the absorption and composition of lymph obtained after a meal of fish oil. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing either corn oil or fish oil (MaxEPA) for 2 weeks. They were then given intraduodenally a bolus of an emulsion of 0.5 ml of fish oil plus 0.5 ml of 20 mM sodium taurocholate. Intestinal lymph was collected from a cannula in the main intestinal lymph trunk for various times after oil administration. Rats proportion of the test dose fo fish oil than those fed corn oil. There was an effect of previous diet on the fatty acid composition of the lymph. Rats fed fish oil had a higher percentage of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids in the lymph lipids than those fed corn oil while those fed corn oil had a higher percentage of linoleic acid. These results rule out decreased intestinal absorption as a mechanism for the hypotriacylglycerolemic effect of dietary fish oils. They also indicate a significant contribution of endogenous lipids to the fatty acids in lymph.
