Fındığın Geleneksel ve Suni Kurutulması Arasındaki Hasat Sonrası Farklılıkları

This study aimed to detect the fatty acid profile and oxidative stability traits of hazelnuts dried using three different methods: artificial drying (AR), concrete ground (CN), and grass ground (GS) during 12 months of storage (2013–2014) at 20–25°C and 70–90% relative humidity. As expected, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) were the main fatty acid group (81.75–83.59%) followed by polyunsaturated fatty acids (10.20–11.48%) and saturated fatty acids (5.38–6.96%). Samples dried in AR had more MUFA (83.59%) than sun-dried (CN and GS) samples. Following the drying process, the lowest peroxide value (PV) and the highest ratio of oleic-to-linoleic acid (8.27%) were recorded in samples dried in AR. At the end of storage, the PV was lower in samples dried in AR than on CN and GS methods. The results of this research showed that the AR method is the best for drying hazelnut. This research, therefore, recommends the AR method for drying hazelnuts on a commercial scale.

Characterization of the oil from the abdomen part of smoked catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) processing by-product

Smoke catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) processing place produces waste in the form of fish entrails. Abdominal fat is the main component of fish entrails and is a source of fish oil. This study was aimed to determine the physicochemical characteristics and composition the catfish abdominal fat. The oil was extracted by rendering the abdominal fat at 70°C for 5 h followed up by purification through bentonite and active charcoal. Crude catfish oil was observed to be semi-solid in texture, yellow and fishy. The purification improved the characteristics of the fish oil. The purified fish oil was white and less fishy. Furthermore, the purification step reduced the free fatty acid content, the acid number and peroxide value up to 11; 4 and 3 fold, respectively. Palmitic, stearic and myristic acid dominated saturated fatty acid group, representing 26.22; 5.06 and 2.85% of the total fat, respectively. Meanwhile, oleic and linoleic represented 40.14 and 19.97 of the total fat, respectively and were the dominant fatty acid of the unsaturated fatty acid group.

Effect of ω-3 Fatty Acid on Gastrointestinal Motility after Abdominal Operation in Rats

Objective. To investigate whether ω-3 fatty acid could stimulate gastrointestinal motility after abdominal operation.Method. Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 group (normal saline group, intralipid group, and ω-3 fatty acid group,n=18/group) after partial caecectomy and gastrostomosis, each group was divided into 3 groups (POD1, POD3, and POD6,n=6/group). Serum gastrin (GAS), motilin (MTL), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tissue necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), gastric emptying rate, and small bowel propulsion rate were measured.Results. On POD 3, gastric emptying rate and small bowel propulsion rate in ω-3 fatty acid group were higher than those in normal saline group and intralipid group. Serum GAS and MTL levels in ω-3 fatty acid group were higher than those in normal saline group, but serum IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and COX-2 levels were lower than those in normal saline group and intralipid group.Conclusion. ω-3 fatty acid could accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal mobility after abdominal operation in rats, mainly by relieving postoperative inflammation.
