Ameliorating effects of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seed oil on hypercholesterolemia

Abstract

The current study was held in University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Vegetable and oil related research sections were used to evaluate different parameters of this study. The antihypercholesterolemic effect of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seed oil was studied by efficacy trials on Sprague Dowley rats. Materials and protocols used in this study are as follows: 2.1 Attainment of raw material The seeds of local variety of okra named "sabaz pari" were purchased from Ayub Agriculture Research Institute, Faisalabad.

Volatile metabolite profiling of linolenic acid oxidation in the heating process

“…At the same time, linolenic acid as essential fatty acids, is only through food intake for the normal growth and development of the human body (Rincón-Cervera et al, 2016). Linolenic acid can be used in the body to promote fat metabolism, composition of body cells, synthesis of prostaglandins and related to vision, brain and other aspects of behavioral development (Khan et al, 2020;Bourourou et al, 2016). In our previous study, we analyzed and identified the volatile compounds produced during the heating process of oleic and linoleic acids, and found that these two fatty acids produced a large number of volatile substances during heating, such as volatile aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, acids and furans (Bao et al, 2022).…”

Effect of functional food raw material Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn: a research update

“…When regularly consumed at an effective level in a variety of diets, they not only provide basic nutrition to the human body, but also have a potential positive impact on human health (Granato et al, 2020). Now common functional foods include probiotics (Long et al, 2022), active factors from natural sources (Khan et al, 2021;Jiang et al, 2021), foods composed of clear compound nutrients (Califa-Estwick et al, 2021;ur Rehman et al, 2021), etc. As a new source of food from a research perspective, P. praeruptorum Dunn may play a role in…”
