Essential oil constituents of the leaves, bark and cones of Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. oxycedrus L. from Turkey

The essential oil composition of the leaves, bark and cones of Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. oxycedrus collected from natural habitats in Bursa (Turkey) were determined by hydrodistillation, in 0.7, 0.9 and 0.7% (weight/weight) yields, respectively. The essential oils were analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. A total of 75 compounds have been identified constituting 99.5% in bark, 89.3% in leaves and 97.7% in cones of the essential oils of the taxon. The predominant compounds were α-pinene (42.9, 72.8 and 20.9%), β-pinene (3.8, 10.7 and 8.9%), β-myrcene (3.9, 5.5 and 21.7%) and limonene (17.8, 1.9 and 3.4%) in the oils from the leaves, bark and cones, respectively. Quantitative and qualitative variations were determined in the essential oil composition of different parts of the studied plant. The high amount of monoterpenes α- and β-pinene, β-myrcene, limonene and the sesquiterpene germacrene D make the studied taxon a privileged potential source for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial products. The essential oil composition of different parts of Juniper oxycedrus from Bursa (Turkey) confirm the relevance of the medicinal usage of these plant parts.

Capacidad antioxidante y composición de ácidos grasos de diferentes partes de Adenocarpus complicatus (Fabaceae) de Turquía

Adenocarpus complicatus is distributed throughout the Anatolian peninsula and is widely used for human and animal nutrition. The purpose of this work was to study the antioxidant properties and fatty acid composition of different parts of this plant (fruits and mixed materials). The species was collected from Golyuzu village of the Seydisehir district near Konya province, Turkey. Fruit and mixed parts obtained from this species were ground and a 15g sample was used to prepare methanolic extracts. Powdered plant samples were extracted with 100mL methanol in a mechanical shaker. The obtained extracts were filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure and were subsequently stored at -20 degrees C. Antioxidant components, namely total phenolic and flavonoid content, were detected for each extract using spectrophotometric methods. Antioxidant capacity was evaluated by various assays including phosphomolybdenum, DPPH free radical scavenging capacity, metal chelating activity, and ferric and cupric ion reducing power. The fatty acid profiles of plant parts were also determined by using gas chromatography. The total phenolic content of fruit (36.21mgGAE/g) was higher than that of mixed materials (13.79mgGAE/g). The methanolic extract of mixed material had higher amounts of flavonoid than fruit extract. The free radical scavenging activity of extracts was expressed as IC50 value (microg/mL) (amount required to inhibit DPPH radical formation by 50%). The lower IC50 value reflects better free radical scavenging action. The radical scavenging activity of the samples was compared with BHT, it showed the mixed material to be almost two times more potent than the fruit extract. However, BHT is an excellent free radical scavenger with an IC50 of 34.061 microg/mL. The ferric and cupric reducing power potentials of the extracts were expressed as EC50 value (the effective concentration at which the absorbance was 0.5). Fruit extract exhibited strong ferric reducing power with an EC50 of 871.25 microg/mL. The metal chelating activity of the extracts increased with concentration. Chelating effect was 83.60% for fruit extract at 1mg/mL concentration. Oil content of fruit and mixed parts were detected as 6.71 and 6.14%, respectively. A total of 32 fatty acids were found in the oil. Essential fatty acids (linoleic and a-linolenic acid) were identified as the most abundant fatty acids in the oil. These results demonstrated that this plant species can be considered as an alternative to synthetic antioxidants. Likewise, the oil obtained from the plant can be used as a source of essential fatty acids for food and pharmacological applications.

In-situ Pb isotopic analysis of sulfides in abyssal peridotites: New insights into heterogeneity and evolution of the oceanic upper mantle

Abyssal peridotites and mid-oceanic ridge basalts (MORBs) represent complementary residue-liquid products of melting and melt migration in the oceanic mantle. Because MORBs are mixtures of melts from different mantle depths, their isotopic signature does not directly describe the isotopic composition of the mantle source, but instead describes the local average composition of different parts of the mantle. In contrast, abyssal peridotites, the residues of fractional melting and melt-rock reaction, should shed more light on the distribution of isotopic heterogeneities. We analyzed Pb isotopic compositions in sulfide grains from the Southwest Indian Ridge and the Gakkel Ridge (Arctic Ocean) using the high-resolution Cameca 1280 ion microprobe. Sulfide Pb isotope ratios show very large variations, with 16 grains from 1 sample covering ∼25% of the entire range observed in the oceanic mantle. Pb isotopes in sulfides preserve a record of mantle compositions not seen in whole-rock MORBs from the same area. Sulfides from the Atlantis II Fracture Zone (Southwest Indian Ridge) confirm the presence of ancient refractory material scatter in the oceanic upper mantle. Gakkel Ridge sulfides define a high degree of isotopic variability, suggesting that oceanic mantle, not subcontinental lithospheric mantle, is the main source of such heterogeneity. Our results confirm that the source of MORBs, as represented by abyssal peridotites, is very heterogeneous and that other mantle end-member components are intimately mixed in. In-situ sulfide analysis is a powerful tool to detect the isotopic diversity of the MORB mantle source.

Analysis on nutrient contents of different parts of puffer fish (Tetraodon cutcutia) and it’s toxicity

Context: Puffer fish (Tetraodon patoca) contains a potent neurotoxin, tetrodotoxin (TTX) which specially blocks the voltage-gated sodium channels on the surface of nerve membranes. Although the fish as a diet produces sever toxicity in human but no such data are available on its nutrient contents. Mostly the poor people of our country some times eat this fish as a food and six peoples of a family died by its poisoning in Potuakhali, Bangladesh (2001). Our present data clearly indicated that the fish is a high source of oil and protein, and also significant amount of ash. Further, liver and head were the highest sources of toxin but dorsal and tail portion of the fish contained less amount of toxin Objectives: Compare the nutritional composition of different parts: Dorsal, Ventral including liver, Head and Tail of Puffer fish as well as analysis of their toxic properties. Materials and Methods: In this study, nutritional composition such as moisture, ash, protein, oil, polysaccharides, free sugar and mineral contents such as phosphorous, calcium and iron of four parts, namely Dorsal, Ventral including liver, Tail and Head of Puffer fish were analyzed by standard methods and toxic effects of its different parts were determined using brine shrimp lethality bioassay. Results: This study gives detailed information about the nutrients: moisture, ash, protein, oil, polysaccharides and free sugar content of four different parts (Dorsal, Ventral including liver, Tail and Head) of experimental fish which were explained in the result and discussion section. It can be concluded from the results that the puffer fish may be used as a good sources of oil, protein and minerals if proper precaution is taken to remove the toxin from different parts of the fish. In relation to toxicity against brine shrimp nauplii, the different parts of the fish can be arranged as follows-Liver >Head>Dorsal>Tail. Conclusion: The puffer fish might be used as a food due to its high content of oil, protein and minerals. Considering the toxicity, liver and head portion might be discarded completely, but the dorsal and the tail portion may be used due to its low toxicity DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbs.v20i0.17724 J. bio-sci. 20: 109-114, 2012

N‐3 Fatty Acid Distribution of Commercial Fish Species Components

AbstractFor application of n‐3 fatty acids, distribution of the fatty acid compositions of different parts of (head, tail, fins and skin = HTFS, liver, viscera and muscle tissue) five commercially important fish species from the Persian Gulf (Scomberomorus commersoni, Thunnus tonggol, Euthynnus affinis, Scomberomorus guttatus and Dussumieria acuta) as good sources of n‐3 PUFA were studied. The richest source of n‐3 were HTFS in S. guttatus and S. commersoni, liver in S.guttatus, total body of D.acuta, liver of E.affinis and T.tonggol, followed by viscera of E. affinis. The content of these fatty acids were the same in viscera of tonggol, liver of S.commersoni, and HTFS of E.affinis. Moreover, muscle of E.affinis and HTFS of T.tonggol and also muscle of S.guttatus and T.tonggol had the same n‐3 contents as the viscera of S.commersoni. So, it was concluded that HTFS and viscera (which are discarded as residues) are as useful as muscle and liver and can be a source of economically available n‐3 PUFA. Muscle had the lowest proportion of n‐3 in E.affinis, T.tonggol, and S.guttatus in comparison with other organs of these fish species. The highest n‐3:n‐6 ratio was observed in D. acuta. Finally, the cluster analysis showed that with respect to n‐3 and other PUFA contents, HTFS of S.commersoni and D.acuta with S.guttatus on the one hand, and HTFS of T.tonggol and E.affinis on the other hand were similar to each other. In addition, viscera of S.commersoni and S.guttatus were similar followed by T.tonggol and different from E.affinis and D.acuta. In the case of muscle, T.tonggol and S.guttatus had good similarity followed by E.affinis and had no significant similarity with S.commersoni and D.acuta. With regard to liver, the highest similarity was observed between T.tonggol and E.affinis followed by D.acuta and S.guttatus, while S.commersoni did not show similarity with the others.

Palaeoenvironmental implications of aluminium phosphate-sulphate minerals in Early–Middle Triassic continental sediments, SE Iberian Range (Spain)

The presence of Sr-rich aluminium-phosphate sulphate (APS) minerals in continental sedimentary rocks from the Cañizar and Eslida Formations along the eastern part of the Iberian Range (Spain) is considered as evidence of acidic and oxidising conditions during Early–Middle Triassic times. The formation of APS minerals occurred shortly after sedimentation, in early diagenetic stages, prior to the compaction of the sediments and most probably was related to the circulation of acidic meteoric waters. Such conditions might result from a sustained, damaged environment or from multiple environmental crises, but would have delayed the recovery of life after the end-Palaeozoic mass extinction.APS minerals occur as small disseminated and idiomorphic pseudo-cubic crystals (0.5 to 6μm long) or as massive and polycrystalline aggregates replacing fragments of fine-grained metamorphic rocks (mainly metapelites). Textural data indicate that the formation of the APS minerals predated the quartz and illite cements, and that they resulted from the destabilisation of pre-existing minerals, as evidenced by the replacement of slate fragments by APS minerals and hematite and by the close association of the disseminated APS crystals and kaolinite with altered detrital mica plates. Electron microprobe analyses and X-ray diffraction study of the APS minerals indicate a rather homogeneous composition in different parts of the basin, corresponding to solid solutions among woodhouseite, svanbergite, crandallite and goyazite. The sources of strontium in the APS minerals remain unclear. Phosphorous was primarily supplied by dissolution of detrital phosphates under acidic conditions, and sulphur derives from the weathering of pyrite.

Studies on antioxidant activity, volatile compound and fatty acid composition of different parts of Glycyrrhiza echinata L.

The essential oil compound, fatty acid composition and the in vitro antioxidant activity of the root and aerial of Glycyrrhiza echinata L., a medicinal plant growing in Turkey, have been studied. The antioxidant capacity tests were designed to evaluate the antioxidant activities of methanol extracts. Total phenolic and flavonoid concentrations of each extract were also determined by using both Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and aluminum chloride. The aerial part was found to possess the highest total phenolic content (146.30 ± 4.58 mg GAE/g) and total antioxidant capacity (175.33 ± 3.98 mg AE/g). The essential oil from root and aerial parts was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) systems. The major components identified were n-hexadecanoic acid, hexahydro farnesyl acetone, α-caryophyllen, hexanal and phytol. In fatty acid profiles of plant, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acid were detected as the main components. The results of this study have shown that the extracts G. echinata are suitable as a natural antioxidant and food supplement source for pharmacological and food industries due to their beneficial chemical composition and antioxidant capacity.

Tunisian Ruta graveolens Essential Oil: Influence of Factors on its Yield and Composition

Essential oils extracted from stems, leaves and flowers of Tunisian Ruta Graveolens collected during different months (June-October) by three methods: hydro-distillation, hydro-cum-steam distillation and solvent extraction were examined for their chemical composition by GC-MS. Leaves and flowers contained more oil than stems. Drying the leaves and flowers at 40°C for 4 days increased their oil yields. Month of collection changed the oil composition in different parts.

FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT OF PROTEIN CONCENTRATE FROM TOMATO PROCESSING WASTES AND DETERMINATION OF ITS FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES

To extract protein concentrate from tomato processing wastes, the chemical composition of different parts of tomato processing wastes including tomato processing waste meal, tomato seed meal, and tomato oil extracted seed meal were determined. Protein concentrates were prepared by alkali extraction and acid precipitation. To propose the optimal condition for obtaining the maximum protein yield, we performed alkali extraction by using NaOH in 20-70ċ and 8-12 degrees of pH. Next, acid precipitation was performed with HCl in 3.3-5.5 degrees of pH. After determining the protein concentration and dissolved protein mass in extract, the optimal condition was obtained at the room temperature (25-27 ċ) and pH=12. The maximum protein yield of tomato processing waste, tomato seed, and tomato oil extracted seed was achieved in the pH of 3.9, 4.1, and 4.1, respectively. The effect of heat treatment during acid precipitation on protein yield and two functional properties including water absorption and oil absorption capacities of protein concentrates were studied at the temperature over the range of 25-100ċ. Results showed that the highest protein precipitate is obtained at higher temperatures. Moreover, the most protein percentage of both tomato processing waste and tomato seed is given in the room temperature while that of tomato oil extracted seed is achieved at the temperature over the range of 70-85ċ. In addition, by increasing the temperature in acid precipitation stage, the water and oil absorption of protein concentrates is increased.

Aloe vera as a Functional Ingredient in Foods

The main scientific discoveries on Aloe vera published mainly in the last three decades are presented in this work. After describing Aloe from a botanical point of view, the papers related with the chemical composition of different parts of the leaf of Aloe, particularly those in which the gel is described and are presented in a synthetic manner. The chemical analyses reveal that Aloe gel contains mannose polymers with some glucose and other sugars, among which the most important is Acemannan. Besides these, other components such as glycoproteins, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals are described. Different factors also affecting the chemical composition of the gel, such as species and variety, climatic and soil conditions, cultivation methods, processing and preservation, are enumerated and discussed. On the other hand, the main therapeutic applications have been revised and the possible damaging effects of Aloe are also commented upon. A special emphasis is placed on the biologically active compounds or groups of compounds responsible for the therapeutic applications and which are their action mechanisms. The paper concludes that more research is needed to confirm the therapeutic and beneficial effects and to definitively clarify the myth surrounding Aloe vera. A general view on the problem of the commercialization and establishment of the quality and safety of Aloe products in the food industry has been offered here. The main points and European regulations that need to be considered regarding the quality control of prepared Aloe products are presented in this paper.

The Effects of Deep-Frying, Refrigerated Storage and Reheating on the Fat Content, Oxidation and Fatty Acid Composition of the Fish Rutilus frisii kutum

Fatty acid distribution in the different parts of kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum and the effect of frying and refrigerated storage followed by reheating on lipid oxidation and fatty acid composition in different parts of body flesh were evaluated. Lipid content increased after frying and reheating. In general, saturated fatty acids were higher in anterior parts, while the contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids increased from the anterior to the posterior parts. Frying decreased the contents of unsaturated fatty acids but increased the contents of saturated fatty acids. After refrigerated storage, followed by microwave reheating, the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased, whereas the content of saturated fatty acids increased. The peroxide value increased after frying, compared with that of raw sample. However, the lower PV was obtained in fried-chilled-reheated samples. Frying increased the TBA values and reheating enhanced this increment. Therefore, the frying as well as the refrigerated storage and reheating had the impact on fatty acid composition as well as oxidative stability of kutum fillets.
