“…The acidity values of our oil samples (0.88–1.04%; Table ) were significantly lower to the results reported for the Malaysian and Congo‐Brazzaville M. oleifera oil varieties , with 2.48 and 2.10%, respectively, but they were in the same range of the results reported for Kenyan M. oleifera oil . The IV of the oil samples (65.3–65.5g/100 g of oil) were in close agreement with the values reported in the literature for Malaysian oil (65.4 g/100 g of oil) but lower to the values reported for the Congo‐Brazzaville, Malaysian, Indian, and Nigerian M. oleifera oils, ranging from 66.2 to 85.3 g/100 g of oil . Indeed, the low IV of M. oleifera oil seems to be related with the good stability of this oil, determined by a low unsaturation degree.…”

“…Indeed, the low IV of M. oleifera oil seems to be related with the good stability of this oil, determined by a low unsaturation degree. Saponification values were very similar among studied samples (167-168 g KOH/100g oil), in accordance with those reported for Congo-Brazzaville M. oleifera oil [9], and lower than those obtained for Malaysian, Nigerian, and Indian origins [30,31,33], with 189, 172, and 190 (g KOH/100 g oil, respectively). The shell presence had no significant influence (p > 0.05) on any of these parameters, in opposition to what was observed with sunflower unshelled seed oil by Lazaro et al [29], with higher iodine and acidity values.…”

The rising of global per capita food consumption has driven scientists and manufacturers into a search for new or renewed edible oil sources, while also improving their production towards maximum yield, quality, and economic feasibility. Hence, a new origin (Algerian) of Moringa oleifera seed oil was characterized in the present study in terms of its physical and chemical features on two consecutive crops. Moreover, aiming to ascertain if the industrial solvent extraction could be enhanced, extracted oils from shelled and unshelled seeds were compared. All oils under study presented a low oxidation status and an excellent resistance to oxidation. Additionally to the characteristic high average content of unsaturated fatty acids (71% oleic acid), microcomponent analyses revealed interesting amounts of phytosterols (4–5 g/kg), tocopherols (287–327 mg/kg), carotenoids (4–8 mg/kg), and phenolic compounds (11–17 mg/kg). These outcomes were within or better (stability and oxidative status) than reported data for M. oleifera seed oil from other origins, and without significant differences between crops. Apart from a slight color change and increased sterol and wax contents when extracted with shells, no other significant compositional changes were observed, including oil extraction yield, both equivalent to 37% on a kernel basis. This work sustains the high quality of Algerian M. oleifera seed oil, a still underutilized crop in this country. Also, it provides an insight on the potential use of grinded whole seeds directly for solvent extraction, reducing labor demand and cost for the industries, without significant variation on compositional and stability parameters. Practical applications: Regarding the growing demand on edible oils, and considering Algeria as a country with a large range of climatic conditions, M. oleifera cultivation for edible oil extraction could be of economic interests to the region. Based on the findings of this work, the oil extracted from M. oleifera grown in Algeria presents significantly high quality, stability, and consistency between crops. From a technological point of view, we also propose that solvent extraction can be performed directly on the powder of whole M. oleifera seeds, avoiding the shelling step, with proportional oil yield and equivalents quality, of major importance for the industry. Algerian Moringa oil presents high quality, stability, and consistency between crops. The presence of shells does not effect oil quality and yield, of major importance for the industry.

“…The mutation of BRAF and KRAS did not coexist in any of the cell line used. Caco-2 was confirmed as non-BRAF or non-KRAS mutation, labeled as wt CRC, which is reported to be sensitive to Cetuximab according to clinical experience (20)(21)(22)(23), was used as internal control when needed. The cells were cultured in RPMI or Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) growth medium with 10-20% fetal bovine serum (FBS).…”

Lauric acid can improve the sensitization of Cetuximab in KRAS/BRAF mutated colorectal cancer cells by retrievable microRNA-378 expression

et al. 2015

EGFR-inhibitor (Cetuximab) is one of the main targeted drugs used for metastatic colorectal carcinoma (CRC). The benefit from Cetuximab appears to be limited to a subtype of patients, not for the patients with tumors harboring mutated BRAF or KRAS genes; unfortunately, it accounts for ~40-50% of CRC cases. Previous studies have connected higher expression levels of miR-378 to be commonly presented in patients without BRAF or KRAS mutants than in mutated CRCs. The microRNA-378 (miR-378) is coexpressed with PGC-1β and can be easily induced by fatty acid, for example lauric acid. Therefore, we hypothesized that elevation of miR-378 expression in mutated CRCs may stimulate the cell response to Cetuximab. Herein, seven CRC cell lines with confirmed mutation status were involved in two parallel experiments; directly in vitro transfected miR-378 mimics, and using lauric acid to indirectly induce the level of miR-378 in cells. After the increase of miR-378 in cells by either direct or indirect approaches, sensitivity to Cetuximab was restored in all BRAF mutants (p-value <0.0001-0.0003), and half of KRAS mutants CRC (p-value 0.039-0.007). Further evidence was gained by decreasing expression of MEK and ERK2 proteins after transfection with miR-378; it was similar to the indirect induction by lauric acid approach. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that lauric acid may efficiently induce miR-378 expression in CRC mutants, and both BRAF and a subtype of KRAS mutants presented significantly improved sensitivity to Cetuximab. Notably, BRAF mutants could even be inhibited in cell proliferation after elevated concentration of miR-378 in cells without combining with targeted therapy. This new approach may shed new light on BRAF or KRAS mutation in CRC patients for clinical trial, since lauric acid may easily be obtain from natural food, and it is supposed to be harmless to the cardiovascular system.

“…Altogether, Moringa oil has a high stability under frying conditions, even superior to that of similar mono-unsatured oils providing that it is refined to eliminate saponins [95]. When used in blends for frying, it also delayed the degradation of the oil, with economic impacts for users and health benefits for consumers [96,97]. Crude oils can be used for other applications than frying, being naturally enriched in bioactive compounds, with increased stability toward oxidation than refined ones.…”

The Potential of Some Moringa Species for Seed Oil Production

There is an increasingly demand for alternative vegetable oils sources. Over the last decade there has been fast growing interest in Moringa oleifera Lam., particularly due to its high seed oil yield (30-40%), while other Moringa species with similar potentialities are reducing their representativeness worldwide. This review reinforces the interesting composition of Moringa oil, rich in oleic acid and highly resistant to oxidation, for industrial purposes, and shows that other Moringa species could also be exploited for similar purposes. In particular, Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori has an interesting oil yield and higher resistance to pest and diseases, and Moringa stenopetala (Bak. f.) Cuf. is highlighted for its increased resistance to adverse climate conditions, of potential interest in a climate change scenario. Exploring adapted varieties or producing interspecies hybrids can create added value to these less explored species, while renewing attention to endangered species. Moringa seed oil can be extracted by conventional methods or using physical methods (pressing), creating diverse products from a compositional perspective, able to serve both the biodiesel and food industries.
