Epoxidized oil was separately dissolved in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or diethylene glycol butylether (DGBE) and phosphorylated with different amounts of phosphoric (H3PO4) acid (1%, 2%, 3% and 5%). Theformation of phosphate polyesters was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and 31P nuclearmagnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. Based on the synthesized polyols, polyurethane (PU) coatings were prepared.PU coating based on linseed oil diethylene glycol ester polyol was used as the reference. For the characterizationof coatings, mechanical tests and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used. The flammability parameters ofwood samples with PU coatings at a heat flux of 35 kW/m2 were determined. It was found that PU coatings basedon IPA polyols had higher mechanical characteristics, char residue upon thermal decomposition and flameretardancy.展开更多

The DSC （differential scanning calorimetry） of fats and oils is usually performed in order to characterize their melting and crystallization characteristics. The effect of the chemically catalyzed interesterification of two vegetable oils, i.e. palm stearin and linseed oil, on the thermal behavior of the product is studied. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of the transesterification reaction conditions and of the initial amounts of oils on the thermal behavior of the product. This work shows that both cooling and heating DSC thermograms undergo significant changes as the result of the mixture of linseed oil and palm stearin and of their transesterification.展开更多

Female Wistar rats were fed control or cafeteria food, which were either supplemented or not supplemented with linseed oil （5%） for I month before and during gestation. At parturition, serum and tissue lipids and enzyme activities were analyzed. Cafeteria diet induced adverse metabolic alterations in both mothers and offspring. Linseed oil improved metabolic status. In conclusion, linseed oil displayed health benefits by modulating tissue enzyme activities in both obese mothers and their newborns.展开更多

The trial lasted 12 weeks (2 weeks for adaptation to lipids and 10 weeks of data collection). A total of 36 Holstein dairy cows with 58.0 ± 17.0 days in milk (DIM), 594.1 ± 92.4 kg BW, 2.6 ± 1.5 parity and 38.9 ± 9.3 kg milk day<sup>-1</sup> were used in a randomized complete block design. The treatments were: 1) Omega-3 (O3): 5.2 kg DM day<span style="font-size:10px;white-space:normal;"><sup>-1</sup></span> of concentrate including 0.7 kg DM of Ca-FA + 13.5 kg DM <span style="white-space:normal;">day</span><span style="font-size:10px;white-space:normal;"><sup>-1</sup></span> of partial mixed ration (PMR) + 12 kg DM <span style="white-space:normal;">day</span><span style="font-size:10px;white-space:normal;"><sup>-1</sup></span> of alfalfa pasture (Medicago sativa) and 2) Control (C): diet similar to O3 but lipid supplementation was replaced by cracked corn grain so that the diets were isoenergetic. No treatment effect was detected (P > 0.05) for any milk production and composition variables, except for urea in milk that was slightly higher in O3 (P = 0.02). The treatment × week interaction was significant (P < 0.05) for fat yield and content, with differences (P < 0.01) only in the 3rd week of the data collection period in favor of group C (1.39 vs. 1.13 kg<span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;white-space:normal;background-color:#FFFFFF;">·</span><span style="white-space:normal;">day</span><span style="font-size:10px;white-space:normal;"><sup>-1</sup></span> and 3.86% vs. 3.23% for fat yield and content, respectively). Total DMI and PMR were similar (P > 0.05) between treatments. Concentrate intake was higher (P < 0.01) in C compared with O3. Pasture DMI tended (P = 0.06) to be greater for cows that received the O3 treatment compared with C. Total metabolizable energy (ME) intake was similar (P = 0.44) between treatments. No treatment effect was detected (P > 0.05) in rumen environment parameters. Supplementation with Ca-FA reduced (P < 0.05) the hypercholesterolemic fraction of milk (C12:0, C14:0 and C16:0, -13.6%, -7.4% and -9.0%, respectively). The concentration of α-linolenic acid (C<sub>18:3n-3</sub>) increased (108%, P < 0.01) in O3 group compared with group C. The absence of negative effects of lipids on the fat content of milk and ruminal fermentation suggests that protection by saponification was effective. The supplementation with Ca-FA (0.85 <span style="white-space:normal;">kg</span><span style="white-space:normal;font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;background-color:#FFFFFF;">·</span><span style="white-space:normal;">day</span><span style="font-size:10px;white-space:normal;"><sup>-1</sup></span>) improved the healthy value of the milk.展开更多

The objective of this work was to evaluate the stability of this modified formulation during the storage and to compare it to that of a traditional formulation. Traditional and modified products were stored during 90 days at 4 °C in aerobic conditions. Fatty acid profiles, TBARS and volatile compounds derived from oxidation were analyzed at 0, 30 and 90 days of storage. The fatty acid profiles did not significantly change along the storage period. The stabilizing effect of the natural antioxidants ofM. officinalis could contribute to detect no losses of to-3 PUFA in Modified （30 days： 2.13 g/100 g of product, 90 days： 2.33 g/100 g of product）, whereas in Control products a slightly significant reduction was detected （30 days： 0.34 g/100 g of product, 90 days： 0.29 g/! 00 g of product）. After 90 days, the increases of TBARS and hexanal content were much higher in Control than in Modified （Control： 1.41 mg MDA/kg ＆ 17,915 ng dodecane/kg of dry matter; Modified： 0.48 mg MDA/kg ＆ 2,496 ng dodecane/kg of dry matter）. In conclusion, the lyophilized water extract of M. officinalis protected high ωo-3 PUFA of dry fermented sausages from oxidation along the storage time, guaranteeing the nutritional improvements achieved with the modified formulation.展开更多

The main objective of this study was to model and optimize the microen- capsulation process. Five-level central composite design was used to design, model, and optimize the microencapsulation process. A quadratic model was constructed to show the dependency of the per- centage of encapsulated linseed oil and capsule size, as model responses, on the studied independent variables （the rotational speed of the agitator and the power and duration of sonication）. Analysis of vari- ance showed that all of the variables have significant effects on the encapsulated linseed oil percentage, while the rotational speed of the agitator and sonication time is effective variables for controlling the capsule size. Under the determined optimum conditions, a maximum encapsulated linseed oil percentage （ELO%） of 93.9% and a minimum micro/nanocapsule size of 0.574 μm were achieved at 594 rpm agitation, 350 W sonication power, and 3 min sonication time. Validation of the model was performed. The percent- age relative errors between the predicted and experimental values of the ELO% and micro/nanocapsule size are 1.28% and 3.66%, respectively. The efficacy of the optimum micro/nanocapsules in healing cracks in a glass flake epoxy paint and corrosion protection was investigated by the salt spray test and Tafel polarization technique.展开更多
