Quality Characteristics of High-Oleic Sunflower Oil Extracted from Some Hybrids Cultivated Under Egyptian Conditions

Abstract

This work was conducted to study the oil content, quality criteria of different seven sunflower hybrids growing under local environmental condition. Three high-oleic hybrids (2031, 2033 and Olivico)

Trehalose-Induced Regulations in Nutrient Status and Secondary Metabolites of Drought-Stressed Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Plants

“…The sunflower is the world’s fourth most cultivated seed oil crop and its demand is expanding rapidly due to its unique oil fatty acid profile [ 13 ]. Sunflower oil contains valuable nutrients, including antioxidants, which safeguard the cells from oxidation.…”

The effect of oil raw material composition in the synthesis of bio‐sorbents based on inverse vulcanization on the ability to remediate hydrocarbon‐contaminated water. A novel method for decontaminating water/fuel emulsions

“…Sunflower oil triglycerides are comprised of 64% monounsaturated, 23% polyunsaturated linoleic, and 13% saturated fatty acid. 66 Soybean oil triglycerides contain 18% monounsaturated, 68% polyunsaturated linoleic, and 14% saturated fatty acid. 67 Although both oils have similar percentage of saturated fatty acid, soybean oil has higher double bond content due to its higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids.…”

“…After cooling down to room temperature, a rubber‐like (flexible) brown‐colored polymer is obtained (Figure 1c,d). Sunflower oil triglycerides are comprised of 64% monounsaturated, 23% polyunsaturated linoleic, and 13% saturated fatty acid 66 . Soybean oil triglycerides contain 18% monounsaturated, 68% polyunsaturated linoleic, and 14% saturated fatty acid 67 .…”

Insights into the Mechanism of Action of Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Essential Oil in the Management of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Using Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Approaches

“…The 15 identified SSEO phytocompounds with the subsequent passing of Lipinski's rule of five (drug likeliness) with no violation suggest them as important bioactive compounds of the plant's seeds by oral route administration. The chemical profiling of the oilseed revealed unsaturated fatty acid components as predominant contributing to the quality of the oil [50], alleviating body cholesterol while offering the potential to lower the possible risk of cardiovascular diseases [51]. Besides, T2D is known to be one of the key risk factors for cardiovascular diseases [52].…”

“…Summarily, the highest docking scores of identified compounds (phylloquinone, linoleic acid, tricosylic acid, lignoceric acid, and stearic acid) revealed the best affinities against respective targets (PPARA, FABP4, PPARD, and PPARG CPT2), as also corroborated by their high number of interactions (except stearic acid, as replaced by tricosylic acid against CPT2) in comparison with other compounds and standards, indicating their superiority. However, since the PPAR signaling pathway is concerned with diabetes and obesity emergence via the downregulation of the PPARA, FABP4, PPARD, PPARG, and CPT2 genes, and coupled with the fact that phylloquinones, linoleic acid, tricosylic acid, and lignoceric acid maintained good stabilities with these targets or genes based on molecular docking evaluation, that these four compounds could serve as probable PPAR ligands and as potential therapeutic choices against T2D, obesity, and insulin resistance [50,73] brought about by the impairment of insulin signaling [68], thereby suggesting them as probable compounds that could be further developed into drug candidates for insulin sensitization and T2D management [74]. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the number of genes attributed to a signaling pathway is measured by its rich factor or strength [75]; thus, the higher the rich factor, the greater the degree of enrichment [68].…”
