“…Similar results of LA predominating have been reported for grape, almond, wheat germ, sesame, pumpkin seed and safflower oil [22]; for peanut, rapeseed and coconut oil [23]; and for hemp oil [22]. The high content of linoleic acid in both oils is an indication that the oil is of high nutritional value for linoleic acid being an essential acid with cholesterol-lowering activity [7]. …”

Background:Exploring under–utilized plant fruits could be of high significance for food security and nutritional requirements, therefore, it can effectively add to the overall improvement of a nation’s economy. Blood plum (Haematostaphis barteri) is a wild edible vegetable and its fruit contains pulp and oily seed which are edible.Methods:A study was carried out to determine fatty acid profile, phospholipid and phytosterol contents as well as some physicochemical parameters of pulp and seed oils of Haematostaphis barteri (popularly known as blood plum) using standard analytical techniques.Results:The most concentrated fatty acids were palmitic acid (15.34%) < oleic acid (22.31%) < linoleic acid (50.56%) for the pulp oil while that of seed oil were oleic acid (12.34%) < palmitic acid (25.37%) < linoleic acid (38.87%). Arachidic, behenic, lignoceric and palmitoleic acids were all present in small quantities with none of them recording up to 1.0% in either of the samples. Lauric was determined but not detected in the pulp oil. The fatty acid composition of pulp and seed oils contained a healthy mixture of all the types of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The value of polyunsaturated/saturated index (P/S) which is associated to the impact on human health was higher in the pulp oil (2.47). Phospatidylinositol had the highest content (17.69 mg/100g) in the pulp oil while the highest content in seed oil was phosphatidylcholine (351.82 mg/100g). The total phytosterols for pulp and seed oils were 17.09 and 436.37 mg/100g, respectively. The results of some physicochemical parameters of pulp and seed oils were colour (light amber yellow and pale yellow), kinematic viscosity (9.15 and 10.62 mm2/s), specific gravity (0.92 and 0.92), unsaponifiable matter (1.63 and 2.54%), flash point 29.00 and 295.00oC), saponification value (189.40 and 190.22 mg KOH/g), peroxide value (8.15 and 9.20 meq O2/kg), iodine value (94.24 and 122.42 mg of I/100 g) and acid value (16.50 and 24.00 mg KOH/g), respectively.Conclusion:Generally, high percentage PUFA and low value of cholesterol may make either of the sample oils, a good food source on health wise basis. It was also revealed that both sample oils may be developed into a commercial product for use in food products.

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is an underutilized oil-bearing seed found in Nigeria. The fatty acid, phospholipids and phytosterols composition of germinated and non-germinated seed of Sorghum bicolor were evaluated using standard analytical techniques. The result showed that the most concentrated fatty acids (%) found in the geminated and non-germinated oils were linoleic acid (41.16, 59.45), oleic acid (33.80, 23.05), palmitic acid (18.20, 10.68) and stearic acid (2.35, 1.72). The fatty acids composition of the germinated and non-germinated oils contained a healthy mixture of all the types of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The polyunsaturated/saturated index (P/S) was 2.12 % and 3.82 % for germinated and non-germinated oils, respectively. The most prominent phospholipids (mg/100 g) found in the germinated seed oil was phosphatidylcholine (23.86) followed by phosphatidylethanolamine (9.22) and phosphatidylinositol (9.08) while the most prominent in the non-germinated seed oil was phosphatidylcholine (32.39) followed by phosphatidylethanolamine (13.03) and lysophosphatidylcholine (13.07). The high value of phosphatidylcholine showed that Sorghum bicolor may help in protecting the liver from disease and hepatitis. The total phytosterols for germinated and non-germinated were (45.93 mg/100 g and 56.69 mg/100 g), respectively. This suggests that Sorghum bicolor lipid is a good source of food supplement or dietary and health benefits to human.

“…Valuable extracts and essential oil produced from grapefruit peel exhibited potent anti-inflammatory, anticancerogenic and antioxidant properties [2]. Phenolics, flavonoids and polysterols compounds are the major components found in grapefruit peel essential oil providing their characteristic aroma and taste, along with an antioxidant efficiency and antimicrobial activities promoting their application in therapeutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products [3,4]. Grapefruit essential oil showed a good inhibitory effect on the proliferation of liver cancer cells and colon cancer cells, promising results in a chemotherapeutic activity [2].…”

Grapefruit peel essential oil exhibited antioxidant and antibacterial activities attributed to their phenolic and flavonoid compounds. In this study, nanoemulsion of grapefruit peel essential oil and carrageenan was investigated for their antioxidant properties. The oil in water (o/w) emulsion was formulated with 0.5% and 1.0% (w/v) grapefruit peel essential oil and carrageenan. Carrageenan was utilised as an encapsulating agent to decrease volatility of essential oil and increase its stability. The resulting nanoemulsion was characterised using transmission electron microscopes (TEM), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectrophotometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Nanoemulsion formulated with 0.5% grapefruit peel essential oil exhibited strong radical scavenging 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) effects showing the highest half maximal effective concentration value (EC50) at 83.4 ± 1.4 mg l−1 and revealed the highest total phenolic content (80.1 ± 11.8 mg GAE/g) in comparison with 1.0% grapefruit peel essential oil-nanoemulsion and free grapefruit peel essential oil (2.0% w/v). The cytotoxicity of nanoemulsion prepared from grapefruit peel essential oil against HeLa cells also exhibited higher than 90% of cell viability, which was not affected by the formulation of nanoemulsion. The incorporation of grapefruit peel essential oil into nanoemulsion improved its stability while retaining its bioactivity and non-toxicity.
