Effects of temperature and oxygen concentration on oxidative deterioration during storage of crude sunflower oils, obtained by pressing and solvent extraction, were studied. Oxidation was monitored through several analytical and chromatographic methods that determine chemical and physical changes or analyze specific oxidation compounds at different stages of the process: peroxide value, p-anisidine value, free fatty acids, weight gain, total content and distribution of polar compounds, and composition of fatty acids. Extracted oil showed a higher oxidative stability than pressed oil. Oxidative deterioration was strongly dependent on temperature, oxygen availability, and the ratio of exposed surface to sample volume. A kinetic model of two series reactions was developed to represent oxidation rate in terms of peroxide value, the reaction rate constants and their temperature dependence being evaluated by nonlinear regression. Finally, good correlations between the percentage of polar compounds or oxidized triglyceride monomers and the peroxide value were found.
Phospholipids from sunflower oil samples were enriched by using solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges and subsequently separated and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an ultraviolet detector. The recovery of individual phospholipids at different total concentrations in model oils and the repeatability of the method were investigated. The results demonstrated the utility of SPE-HPLC for quantitative analysis of phospholipids in sunflower oil and the effectiveness for concentrating, separating, identifying, and quantitating phospholipids in samples with phosphatide contents as low as 0.1%. Samples of sunflower oil at different stages of processing were analyzed, and phospholipid profiles in hexane-extracted oil, hot-pressed oil, and water-degummed oils were compared.

This study aimed to evaluate the quality and pharmaceutical equivalence of commercial products containing HCTZ (50 mg) marketed in Argentina, based on local Pharmacopeia guidelines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
