“…28,29 The presence of cholesterol in the control samples of ruminant feed is in agreement with the results reported previously in the literature, [33][34][35][36][37] that some plants produce small quantities of cholesterol. Earlier, it was conceptualized that plant products do not contain cholesterol, partly due to the low concentrations of cholesterol present in those products, and also due to the lack of efficient analytical detection methods, which were not well developed until recently.…”

“…Earlier, it was conceptualized that plant products do not contain cholesterol, partly due to the low concentrations of cholesterol present in those products, and also due to the lack of efficient analytical detection methods, which were not well developed until recently. 27,37 Corn grits, soybean meal and wheat bran were used to make the ruminant feed control sample. These components were analyzed separately, to determine the cholesterol content in each of them, and their contribution to the total cholesterol content.…”

“…However, although they are normally considered to be present only in small quantities, researchers outside this field of study have noted that plants can contain cholesterol. [62] For the calibration plots, good linearity of response was found for solanidine and solasodine, both with and without internal standardization.…”

A practical set of HPLC methods was developed for the separation and determination of the eggplant steroidal glycoalkaloids, solanine, chaconine, solasonine, solamargine, and their aglycones, solasodine and solanidine. A gradient method was initially developed, but proved to be neither robust nor practical. Three separate isocratic methods using acetonitrile and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate were developed and shown to be more repeatable, less subject to fluctuations in mobile phase composition, and less time consuming. The effect of adjusting buffer pH, column temperature, and buffer type (triethylammonium phosphate vs. ammonium dihydrogen phosphate) were evaluated. It was also discovered that, by addition of 10% methanol to the acetonitrile portion of the mobile phase, more control over the separations was possible. The use of methanol as a mobile phase entrainer greatly improved separations in some cases and its effectiveness was also dependent upon column temperature. Assessments of the method recovery, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation were made using extracts from S. melongena and S. linnaeanum.

The quality of used frying oil degraded due to the presence of products degradation, such as; PV and FFA which formed during the frying process. PV and FFA are harmful to human health. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin film has been applied in various fields, especially in the environment. The aim of this study is to evaluate photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin film for reducing PV and FFA in used frying oil. The TiO2 thin films were deposited on glass substrate by spray coating method at a temperature of 450 o C. The TiO2 precursor solution was prepared by mixing TTiP, AcAc, and ethanol. The thin films were varied into two conditions; as-deposited and annealed at a temperature of 500 o C. The morphology, crystalline structure, and optical properties of the thin films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and UV-VIS spectrophotometer, respectively. Photocatalytic process was carried out by putting TiO2 thin film in used frying oil and irradiated by sunlight. The result showed that both of TiO2 thin films were still amorphous in nature. However, there was a peak with low intensity for annealed TiO2 thin film which corresponding to the TiO2 anatase crystals plane of (101). Annealing process improved crystallinity and changed the shape morphology of TiO2 thin films. The band gap was found to be 3.59 eV for asdeposited TiO2 thin film and 3.49 eV for the annealed-TiO2 thin film. Photocatalytic process shows that TiO2 thin films reduced FFA and PV of used frying oil up to 67.10% and 79.15%, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of annealed TiO2 thin film was higher than as-deposited TiO2 thin film. The results indicated that TiO2 thin film photocatalyst potential as the new alternative method to purify used frying oil.
