Oleogel with tailored viscoelasticity is a great interest for food structuring, while its potential benefits for edible film performance are not clear. In this study, β-sitosterol (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%)-corn oil oleogel was developed and used in the formation of gelatin-based films. Importantly,
A liquid chromatography with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol in rat plasma. Cholesterol-d6 was used as an internal standard. To avoid
The neonatal hormone environment influences the sexually differentiated patterns of development. Estrogens, derived from intracerebral aromatization, promote male pattern development of the central nervous system. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of neonatal exposure to
Studies were undertaken to determine the dietary beta-sitosterol absorption in laying hens and its incorporation into the egg. Hens were divided into four groups and fed a commercial low-fat laying diet. Group 1 served as controls; the diet of group 2 was supplemented with 10% corn oil; group 3 with
Inhibitory effects of corn oil and its constituents have been studied against 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced chromosomal breaks in B6C3F1 female mice using the in vivo bone-marrow micronucleus assay. We tested propyl gallate, alpha-tocopherol and beta-sitosterol as constituents of
Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic lung disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Chronic damage of the alveolar epithelium leads to a process called "epithelial-mesenchymal transition" (EMT) and increases synthesis and deposition of ECM proteins.
Βeta-sitosterol (β-SITO), a phytosterol present in pomegranate, peanut, corn oil, almond, and avocado, has been recognized to offer health benefits and potential clinical uses. β-SITO is orally bioavailable and, as a constituent of edible natural products, is considered to have no undesired side
Consumption of cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) is a growing health concern, but little is known about the intake of beta-sitosterol oxidation products (SOPs). The present study was performed (i) to compare the oxidative stability of cholesterol with that of beta-sitosterol; (ii) to investigate
This study is focused on examining the tocopherol isomers (α-, γ-, and δ-) fingerprinting by online RP-HPLC analysis with post column detection using CUPRAC (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity) methodology for argan oil authenticity. The proposed online assay was validated with good precision,
In experiments with male Wistar rats the influence of the non-saponifiable constituents of dietary fats: dl-alpha-tocopherol (60 ppm), dl-gamma-tocopherol (480 ppm), ubiquinone (96 ppm) and beta-sitosterol (3035 ppm) on the tocopherol status was investigated, considering the fatty acid composition
Previous methods for the quantitative analysis of phytosterols have usually used GC-MS and require elaborate sample preparation including chemical derivatization. Other common methods such as HPLC with absorbance detection do not provide information regarding the identity of the analytes. To address
The conditions for the extraction of phytosterols (campesterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol) from vegetal oils were optimized by means of response surface methodology (RSM). A 24 central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used to investigate the effects of four independent variables:
Metabolite profiling (metabolomics) elucidates changes in biochemical pathways under various conditions, e.g., different nutrition scenarios or compound administration. BASF and metanomics have obtained plasma metabolic profiles of approximately 500 compounds (agrochemicals, chemicals and
