“…Fayyaz and Ahmad (2003) reported the percentage of palmitic acid in the range of 6.57 to 7.67 in different sunflower hybrids. Jamieson and Baughman (1922) found different results for fatty acid profile. The percentage palmitic acid and stearic acid were observed in the range of 7.92 to 84.91 percent and 7.25 to 74.90 percent.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of multiple functions of sunflower seeds including their nutritional and nutraceutical benefits. Design/methodology/approach -The literature review is of the chemical composition of sunflower seeds, their health benefits and their utilization in different products. Findings -"We are what we eat." All living creatures need to take in nutrients to live. Nutrients provide energy for processes in the body and can promote growth, maintenance and repair. The classes of nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Sunflower seeds are a good source of all these nutrients. Plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, oil crops and whole grains contain many components that are beneficial to human health. Research supports that some of these foods, as part of an overall healthful diet, have the potential to delay the onset of many age-related diseases.Research limitations/implications -Currently available information on sunflower seeds is insufficient. These observations have led to continuing research aimed at identifying specific bioactive components in foods, such as antioxidants, which may be responsible for improving and maintaining health. Antioxidants are present in foods as vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and polyphenols. Originality/value -This review is unique in its comprehensive nature. This article will reflect the role of sunflower seeds as nutritional and nutraceutical package.

BACKGROUND Acrylic acid has a wide range of applications in plastic additives, textiles, sealants, adhesives, and surface coatings industries. Owing to its widespread demand, production through a biotechnological method has emerged as low‐cost, energy‐efficient, environment friendly with few challenges at downstream stage. Reactive extraction is a promising method to recover carboxylic acid, but suffers from toxicity problems of the diluent and extractant employed. Therefore, there is a need for a nontoxic extractant and diluent or a combination of less toxic extractants in a nontoxic diluent that can recover acid efficiently. In this context, reactive extraction of acrylic acid from aqueous phase was employed with tri‐n‐butyl phosphate dissolved in natural diluents soybean oil, sunflower oil, and rice bran oil. RESULTS Reactive extraction results are discussed in terms of the partition coefficient (α), dimerization constant (β), distribution coefficient (KD), extraction efficiency (η%), overall equilibrium complexation constant (KE), and loading ratio (ϕs). Higher distribution coefficient and extraction efficiency range was found in tri‐n‐butyl phosphate (TBP) + sunflower oil as 0.672 to 2.019 and 39.76 to 66.49, respectively. Average extraction efficiency was in the range 30.85 to 71.94% for soybean oil, 39.76 to 66.49% for sunflower oil, and 31.27 to 69.42% for rice bran oil with 0.366 to 1.464 mol kg−1 of tri‐n‐butyl phosphate. CONCLUSION Sunflower oil with tri‐n‐butyl phosphate showed higher extraction efficiency for the reactive extraction of acrylic acid. The order of extraction efficiency was observed as: TBP+sunflower oil > TBP+soybean oil > TBP+rice bran oil. Since evasion of direct contact of the organism with the organic phase or use of nontoxic diluents can substantially reduce toxic effects, natural oils were used in the present study. Reactive extraction results can be employed for the design of extraction columns. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Biochemical studies have shown that sunflower seed oil is composed of essential fatty acids that have been determined important in maintaining the epidermal barrier [8,9]. Additionally, sunflower oil distillate has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties, possibly through activation of peroxisome proliferative activated receptor-α (PPAR-α), a nuclear receptor and transcription factor implicated in a number of cellular pathways [10,11], including those involved in epidermal lipid synthesis [12].…”

Many patients seek alternative and complementary therapies, particularly when diseases are incurable or when conventional treatments have undesirable side effects that are real or perceived. This article reviews some selective evidence behind alternative therapies utilized in the treatment of three common diseases in pediatric dermatology: atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, and cutaneous warts. While some show promise, the treatments discussed vary greatly in the quality and quantity of supporting evidence and should be carefully considered when advising patients on their use.
