“…Essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid (18 : 2; 9, 12), arachidonic acid (20 : 4; 5, 8, 11, 14), and linolenic acid (18 : 3; 9, 12, 15), are crucial forms of fatty acids required by the body in dietary fats and oils (Jafari et al, 2022 ). These essential fatty acids play essential roles in various bodily functions, including the transport of cholestasis, formation of lipoproteins, prevention of fatty liver, synthesis of important compounds like eicosanoids, and maintenance of membrane function and structure (Joerg and Ludger, 2021 ).…”

“…The free fatty acids are a major fat fuel in the body, however, their elevated levels in the blood raise the risk of cardiovascular disease due to insulin resistance (which can lead to diabetes) and elevated blood pressure (Adegbola et al, 2017(Adegbola et al, , 2018. Essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid (18 : 2; 9, 12), arachidonic acid (20 : 4; 5, 8, 11, 14), and linolenic acid (18 : 3; 9, 12, 15), are crucial forms of fatty acids required by the body in dietary fats and oils (Jafari et al, 2022).

With the advent of modern technology, advancements in processing and storage techniques, and increasing medical knowledge, people are becoming aware of deterioration in the quality of medicinal products due to storage methods and time. In most cases, herbal products are not consumed immediately after production; as such, improper storage can result in physical, chemical, and microbiological changes. The study evaluated the effect of storage methods and time on the quality of oil extracted from Phyllanthus amarus Schumach and Annona muricata Linn and assessed their antidiabetic and antioxidative effects. Plants were air-dried, pulverized, and then subjected to Soxhlet extraction in petroleum ether. The oil was evaluated for phytochemical constituents and the effects of time and storage methods on its physicochemical properties. Characterization of the oil was done by spectroscopic techniques. Oils from both plants contained tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, glycosides, terpenoids, phlobotannins, resins, reducing sugar, phenols, and saponins in different proportions. The oil from A. muricata had higher phenolic (3.11 ± 0.31 mg GAE/g), flavonoid (11.82 ± 0.08 mg QUE/g), alkaloid (16.37 ± 0.56 mg APE/g), and tannin (7.13 ± 0.47 mg CE/g) contents than the oil from P. amarus , which had 0.54 ± 0.08 mg GAE/g, 7.83 ± 0.13 mg QUE/g, 9.87 ± 0.15 mg APE, and 3.16 ± 0.12 mg CE/g for total phenolic, flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins, respectively. Initial acid, iodine, peroxide, and saponification values recorded for P. amarus were 5.63 ± 0.82 mg KOH/g, 97.17 ±0.53 Wijis, 9.31 ± 0.15 mEq/kg, and 116.11 ± 0.74 mg KOH/g, respectively, significantly different from those of A. muricata , which had values of 1.17 ± 0.08 mg KOH, 76.23 ± 0.03 Wijis, 6.75 ± 0.47 mEq/kg, and 193.31 ± 0.52 mg KOH/g, respectively. FT-IR characterization of the oils revealed the presence of carboxylic acid, alkyl, alkene, alkane, haloalkane, aldehyde, aromatic amine, α-unsaturated and β-unsaturated esters, and phenol functional groups. P. amarus oil inhibited α-amylase (IC 50 0.17 ± 0.03 mg/ml), α-glucosidase (IC 50 0.64 ± 0.03 mg/ml), and xanthine oxidase (0.70 ± 0.01 mg/ml) to a greater extent than A. muricata oil, with IC 50 values of 0.43 ± 0.05 mg/ml (α-amylase), 2.25 ± 0.31 mg/ml (α-glucosidase), and 0.78 ± 0.07 mg/ml (xanthine oxidase). This study showed that oils from the tested plants have low rancidity with a moderate shelf life. The extracts contained essential phytoconstituents that significantly inhibited α-glucosidase and xanthine oxidase. These effects of the oil indicate their potential to prevent diabetes, gout, and oxidative stress. Consequently, the supply of P. amarus and A. muricata in homemade diets is strongly encouraged fo...

“…FAs are not only a vital part of the human diet, but they are also used in many industrial applications, including paints, lubricants, soaps and detergents, cosmetics, ink, and varnish. Thus, vegetable oil seeds are a growing market from both a nutritional and industrial standpoint (Combs, Jr. & McClung, 2016) (Jafari, Ebrahimi, Assatarakul, & Jafari, 2022).…”

The problem of the research is studying: what are the most important factors effecting the vegetable oil gap in Egypt? The study used time series data during the period , and the results showed that the biggest three crops produced were cotton seed, olives, and groundnuts, according for about 89% of oil crop production during the study period. While olive oil production multiplied one hundred times during the study period, cotton seed production decreased by about 88.6% from 1980 to 2020. The results show that the study variables are significantly affecting the vegetable oil gap in Egypt despite population growth and the world vegetable oil price. Accordingly, the study's findings on economic relationships can consolidate the current research on Egypt's vegetable oil gap. Policymakers and decision-makers can also ascertain the impact of variables influencing the vegetable oil gap.
