Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 679: Physico-Chemical Investigation and Antimicrobial Efficacy of Ozonated Oils: The Case Study of Commercial Ozonated Olive and Sunflower Seed Refined Oils
Fabrizio Angius Drug resistance represents one of the great plagues of our time worldwide. This largely limits the treatment of common infections and requires the development of new antibiotics or other alternative approaches. Noteworthy, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics is mostly responsible for the selection of mutations that confer drug resistance to microbes. In this regard, recently, ozone has been raising interest for its unique biological properties when dissolved in natural oils. Ozonated oils have been reported to act in a non-specific way on microorganisms hindering the acquisition of advantageous mutati...

Chromatographic Evaluation and Characterization of Constituents of Sunflower Seed Extract Used as Food Additives
Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2024;72(1):93-97. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c23-00670.ABSTRACTSunflower seed extract, an antioxidant agent registered on the List of Existing Food Additives in Japan, was evaluated using HPLC, and three common constituents were detected. These peaks were identified as monocaffeoylquinic acids (3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid [chlorogenic acid]). Upon scrutinizing other components, dicaffeoylquinic acids (isochlorogenic acids; 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic, and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acids) were also identified. Structures of two newly isolate...

Ultrasound-assisted macroporous resin treatment improves the color and functional properties of sunflower meal protein
This study provides a potential strategy for extracting SMP with light color and good functional properties. It also provides a theoretical basis for the wide application of SMP in food processing.PMID:38171195 | DOI:10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106750 (Source: Ultrasonics Sonochemistry)

Cadmium partitioning between hulls and kernels in three sunflower varieties: consequences for food/feed chain safety
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Dec 26. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-31631-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTContamination of sunflower seeds with soil Cd is an important issue for food and feed because this species strongly accumulates this metal. The present work reports that seeds from three sunflower varieties (ES Biba, Extrasol, Vellox) cultivated in the field in a calcareous agricultural soil having a moderately high Cd content (1 mg Cd/kg) had Cd contents of 0.84, 0.88 and 0.76 mg Cd/kg, respectively, all exceeding the regulation limit of 0.5 mg Cd/kg seeds for human food. On average, for the three varieties, washing see...

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) Seed Allergy
CONCLUSION: Our findings reveal a variability of clinical presentations of sunflower seed allergy on repeated exposures and an underuse of epinephrine in anaphylaxis. We highlight the importance of strict avoidance of sunflower seed and accurate prescription and administration of epinephrine in allergic patients.PMID:38085525 | DOI:10.18176/jiaci.0965 (Source: Journal of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology)

Study on the production of Sophorolipid by Starmerella bombicola yeast using waste fried oil fermentation
Biosci Rep. 2023 Dec 8:BSR20230345. doi: 10.1042/BSR20230345. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSophorolipid (SLs) are surface active compounds that have excellent surface-lowering properties. SLs was produced by Starmerella bombicola (CGMCC1576) yeast with sunflower seeds oil, fried waste oil, cooked tung oil and raw tung oil used as hydrophobic carbon sources. The results showed that the strain could use sunflower seed oil and fried waste oil as hydrophobic carbon sources to produce SLs, and the yields were 44.52 and 39.09 gL-1, and it could not use cooked tung oil and raw tung oil. Analysis by high performance liquid chroma...

 VTE1 and VTE3 Gene Expression During Vitamin E Production in Sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) Treated with Different Fertilization
Conclusion: A balanced ratio of 92:46:30 kg ha1 of major nutrient fertilizer involving N, P and K could increase vitamin E content in sunflowers. Such a combination exhibited stable expression of the VTE1 and VTE3 genes in all phases of flowering.PMID:37937334 | DOI:10.3923/pjbs.2023.409.418 (Source: Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences: PJBS)
