Studies on Herbaceous Seed Oils V

Abstract

Studies on Herbaceous Seed Oils V B y M . S. A h m a d , M . U. A h m a d , A . A. A n s a r i and S. M . Osman'Seeds from seven species of plants belonging to less familiar botanical families were analysed for oil and protein, and the fatty acid composition of the oils was determined .by gas liquid chromatography. Oils from five species are interesting in containing high percentage (71.9-83.7O/o) of C,, unsaturated acids. Seeds from Tropaeolum majus contain oil whi&, on the basis of dwomatographic analysis, appears to be a suitable industrial source of cis-11-eicosenoic and cis-13-docosenoic (erucic) acids.

Amaranths–an underutilized resource

“…Studies of the lipid and fatty acid composition of two closely related genera of the Amaranthaceae family (Opute, 1979;Xu, Patterson & Schmid, 1986) have shown in a total lipid content of 10-17%0 dw, the non-polar lipids, mainly triglycerides, contribute 90% (Lorenz & Hwang, 1985). A relatively high degree of unsaturation was found (Stoller & Weber, 1970;Badami & Patil, 1978;Ahmad & Hussain, 1979), with about 70% oleic and linoleic, 1% linolenic and 20% stearic acids (Tudor & George, 1985b). Irradiation increases unsaturation in polar lipids, with increased linoleic acid (Chadoeuf & Taylorson, 1987).…”

Cytotoxic and Novel Compounds from Solanum indicum

“…1 It has been widely used in folk medicine as an analgesic for toothache, rhinitis, and breast cancer. 2 Previously several steroidal derivatives [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] have been isolated from this plant and some of these components have been studied for their antitumor activities. [8][9][10] In our continuing search for antitumor constituents from plants, 11,12 the dried S. indicum was extracted with warm EtOH.…”

El Derecho De La Igualdad: Resolviendo Conflictos De Igualdad Y Derechos Humanos. La Experiencia Británica

“…Son muchas las formas en que pueden surgir estas demandas 60 . En Gran Bretaña, por ejemplo, las reivindicaciones varían: por ejemplo, la petición de un cambio en las reglas sobre vestimentas neutrales para adaptarlas al uso de turbantes por los Sijs 61 ; una excepción para los Sijs de la obligación legal de llevar equipo protector en edificios en obras 62 ; una demanda de un profesor musulmán para tomarse tiempo libre los viernes y poder asistir a la mezquita 63 ; una demanda de un empleado cristiano para tomarse tiempo libre los domingos como día de descanso 64 . El salto desde la crítica política de la neutralidad liberal a la interposición de demandas legales en estos casos se produce a través de un mecanismo a través del cual los demandantes piden que se establezca una 'norma de excepción': argumentan que lo que en principio puede parecer una norma neutral aplicable a todos los ciudadanos les coloca a ellos en una situación particular de desventaja a la hora de manifestar sus creencias religiosas, en tanto que "diferentes" a la norma pública 65 .…”
