Newest firstThis review intends to provide an insight into the wide range of possibilities for vegetable oils to be used as solvents to extract natural ingredients for various applications with a special emphasis on antioxidants. The potential of using oils as food-grade solvents for extraction of carotenoids, crocins, curcuminoids, cannabinoids, capsaicinoids, different volatile organic compounds and other lipid-soluble phyt…
Open article record in new tab ↗Plant lecithins are complex mixtures of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidic acid (PA) and lysophospholipids. They are increasingly demanded as natural, non-allergenic emulsifiers and as nutraceutical carriers. Quantitative data on the phospholipid (PL) fraction of less-commodity oilseeds, however, remain dispersed. This review compares the PL composition…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background: The present study aimed to develop and characterize three honey- and essential oil-based structured systems intended for topical skin application. Materials and Methods: The semisolid systems were prepared as oil-in-water structured emulsions containing four types of honey (Manuka, Tualang, chestnut, and manna), three essential oils (palmarosa, cistus, and lavender), and five vegetable oils (pomegranat…
The present work aims to develop thermosetting resins using epoxidized hemp oil (EHO) as a bio-based epoxy matrix and a mixture of methyl nadic anhydride (MNA) and maleinized hemp oil (MHO) in different ratios as hardeners. The results show that the mixture with only MNA as a hardener is characterized by high stiffness and brittleness. In addition, this material is characterized by a high curing time of around 170…
Open article record in new tab ↗The substitution of fossil-based monomers in the thermosetting formulations is a fundamental issue to face the environmental concerns related to the use of traditional resins. In this paper, styrene-free thermosetting resins were prepared to start from vegetable oils with different compositions and unsaturation degrees, namely soybean, hempseed, and linseed oils. Using terpenic comonomers such as limonene and β-my…
Open article record in new tab ↗Characterizations of fatty acids composition in % of total methylester of fatty acids (FAMEs) of fourteen vegetable oils—safflower, grape, silybum marianum, hemp, sunflower, wheat germ, pumpkin seed, sesame, rice bran, almond, rapeseed, peanut, olive, and coconut oil—were obtained by using gas chromatography (GC). Saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), palmitic acid (C16:0;…
Open article record in new tab ↗The aim of this study was to investigate levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (marker and dioxin-like congeners), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (EPA 15 + 1), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (14 predominant congeners) and pesticides (74 compounds) in various cold-pressed vegetable oils. Poppy seed oil, rapeseed oil, sesame seed oil, pumpkinseed oil, hempseed oil, linaire oil, borage oil and evening star oil were i…
