Anti-atherogenic properties of emulsified perilla oil (EPO) in apo E KO mice and plasma lipid lowering effects of rice porridge containing EPO in healthy young adults

Optimization of ultrasound-assisted hexane extraction of perilla oil using response surface methodology

“…Studies have reported that increased dietary intake levels of ALA, a precursor of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have beneficial effects in human health (Lee and Song, 2012). Conventional medicine has demonstrated that perilla oil can be used in the treatment of indigestion, depression, and certain cardiovascular diseases (Jo et al, 2013). In addition to ALA, several other compounds have been identified in perilla oil, including vitamin E, sterols, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds .…”

Double emulsions to improve frankfurter lipid content: impact of perilla oil and pork backfat

“…In this context, perilla oil (produced from Perilla frutescens seeds) is of special interest as it is one of the richest sources (>60 g per 100 g) of α ‐linolenic acid, with demonstrated preventive effects on atherosclerosis and chemically induced cancer as well as beneficial effects on immune and mental functions. The health benefits of perilla oil are partially explained by its high linolenic acid content, but it seems to have other impacts on lipid metabolism via regulation of the expression of transcription factors . Despite these health benefits, its use as a food ingredient in meat processing has been limited .…”

Comparison of simple, double and gelled double emulsions as hydroxytyrosol and n-3 fatty acid delivery systems

“…This oil is of special interest in that it is one of the richest sources (over 60 g/100 g) of a-linolenic acid, with demonstrated preventive effects on atherosclerosis and chemically-induced cancer, and it also has beneficial effects on immune and mental functions (Jo, Kim, Lee, Kim, & Song, 2013). These systems contained over 18 g/100 g of a-linolenic acid, which is very prone to oxidation.…”
