“…[11] Exposure to hexane has been linked to neurotoxic effects in humans, affecting the central nervous system. [24,25] Additionally, hexane is considered a hazardous air pollutant, contributing to environmental concerns. [20] In response to these concerns, there is increasing interest in exploring alternative solvents, such as ethanol and isopropanol.…”

Corn oil is a major agricultural commodity, and it is a staple in kitchens worldwide. This comprehensive review aims to provide a holistic understanding of corn oil processing, composition, nutritional benefits, properties, and market dynamics. The processing of corn oil poses challenges in achieving optimal extraction efficiency while addressing environmental concerns. Currently, hexane‐extracted corn oil dominates the market, with cold‐pressed corn oil being a niche product. Ongoing efforts within the industry focus on exploring alternative, environmentally friendly extraction methods such as critical CO2 and enzymatic‐assisted extraction. Corn oil is recognized for its rich composition in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, tocopherol content, and potential antioxidant benefits. However, its high omega‐6 fatty acid content, while contributing to its stability, has raised discussions about its potential impact on inflammatory responses when consumed excessively. Due to its high smoke point, corn oil is suitable for high‐temperature cooking without compromising its neutral taste. Yet, its oxidation stability is lower compared to other commercial oils. Relying on oleic‐rich varieties or incorporating antioxidants could help enhance its stability and mitigate potential oxidative concerns. In the future, advancements in processing technologies promise to elevate the nutritional profile of corn oil, aligning it with the evolving preferences of health‐conscious consumers and addressing sustainability concerns.Practical Applications. This review provides crucial insights into the processing, nutritional profile, and market dynamics of corn oil, benefiting researchers and industry professionals. By understanding the challenges and advancements in extraction methods, researchers can develop more sustainable and efficient processes. The detailed analysis of corn oil's composition and functionality provides practical solutions for improving product shelf‐life and quality. This comprehensive review supports the optimization of corn oil production and utilization and aids in positioning corn oil as a competitive and versatile option in the global vegetable oil market.

“…Repeated occupational exposure of solvents can be both inhalation and skin contact. While the hexane concentration limit of organ damage through prolonged or repeated exposure is suggested as 5%, the organic solvents used in the adhesives may contain a higher percentage of n-hexane [59]. The toxic effects of organic solvents can be considered a public health problem even though regulations have been made that reduce usage limits [60].…”

Neurotoxicity - New Advances

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Neurotoxicity may develop with exposure to various substances such as antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, heavy metals, and solvents. Some plants and fungi are also known to be neurotoxic. Neurotoxicity can develop acutely within hours, or it can develop as a result of exposure for years. Neurotoxicity can be presented with central or peripheral nervous system findings such as neurobehavioral symptoms, extrapyramidal signs, peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral nerve fibers are affected in different ways by neurotoxicant injury. The pattern of injury depends on the target structure involved. The focus of this chapter includes signs, symptoms, pathophysiology, and treatment options of neurotoxicity.

“…Not only that, but patients with less severe trauma or no visible damage on initial examination may still have clinically significant intra-abdominal injuries (Nishijima et al, 2012). Emergency departments often encounter multiple cases that require urgent diagnosis and treatment (Li et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2021;Zhou et al, 2021), and therefore, it is imperative to diagnose and manage these rare injuries expeditiously.…”
