In order to evaluate the effect of seed weight on different aspect of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seed germination and growth characteristics. Quantity of sinapine leaked from seed was greater as the viability of seeds was dropped by the time elapsed of seed aging model and long storage condition in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.). The cultivar of safflower was Jin-Sun and the seeds that are separated to three different weights of small, middle, and large were used in this experiment. Large seeds revealed the highest germination percent, coleoptiles fresh weight, coleoptiles dry weight, radicle fresh weight and 1000 seed weights than other seed weight. Seed weight had little effect on yield while seed number exerted a positive influence. Interestingly, yield per plant and its major components, number of capsules and capsule weights, revealed a negligible relationship with oil content.

Morus alba, Anti-obesity, C57BL/6 Mice, Expression, Flavonoid, Gene, Mulberry Background: The seed oil of Zanthoxylum schinifolium S. et Z. (sancho) is a traditional cooking oil that has long been sold at a very high price however, depending on the method of extraction and storage, this oil becomes rancid occurs very quickly. Therefore, this study aimed to find a material that prevents rancidity and improves the storage properties of sancho oil. Methods and Results: Sancho oil was extracted using an extraction press, and acid values were compared with commercially available vegetable oils, sancho oil had a higher acid value than other vegetable oils. A very high acid value was observed in sancho oil stored for 6 months, regardless of temperature, requiring an effective storage method. The high acid value and the decrease in turbidity of sancho oil are dependent on the days of sedimentation. Treatment with sodium bicarbonate by concentration resulted in minimal changes in acid value over time. However, minor differences were detected among the treatment concentrations. Ascorbic acid was added to maximize the effect of sodium bicarbonate, and it was observed that ascorbic acid did not improve the antioxidant effect. The sodium bicarbonate and ascorbic acid mixture resulted in minimal change in acid value at temperature up to 25℃. Conclusions: Sancho oil becomes rancid very quicky and requires efficient storage techniques. Sodium bicarbonate and ascorbic acid have been proven to be useful as safe anti-racidity agents without causing harm to humans.

A pesticide mix solution containing difenoconazole, lambda-cyhalothrin, and lufenuron was applied 3 times on field grown chili pepper at a fivefold overdose dilution concentration of the spray solution at a pre-harvest interval of 7 day. Difenoconazole, lambda-cyhalothrin, and lufenuron were detected at 4.43, 0.334, and 1.56 mg/kg, respectively, in raw chili pepper. Washing with water reduced the residue levels to 91.4, 94.3, and 85.3%, respectively. In dried chili pepper, the residues of difenoconazole, lambda-cyhalothrin, and lufenuron were 22.2 mg/kg (processing factor, Pf =5.01), 1.65 mg/kg (Pf =4.94), and 6.54 mg/kg (Pf =4.19). In the seeds, difenoconazole and lambda-cyhalothrin were not detected, and lufenuron was detected at 0.0075 mg/kg (n=1) and <0.005 mg/kg (n=2). Thus the pesticide residues in the seeds was negligible. In the seed oil, difenoconazole and lufenuron residues were 0.0263 and 0.0295 mg/kg, respectively (concentration factors=5.26 and 4.72). These concentration factors supported the theoretical concentration factor of 6.8, assuming that all of compound present in the seed are transferred into the oil.

Despite the extensive study of protein effect to man and domestic animals, protein effect of sunflower seed oil cake to the growth and value of erythrocyte in rats is still remained to be investigated. This study is to investigate the effect of protein of sunflower seed oil cake to the rat growth and value of erythrocyte as well as the liver weight, heart, kidneys and spleen of rats. Sixty to seventy-days-old, male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 50-60g, were used in this experiment and 36 rats allotted to 4 groups: standard, 30% cake, 20% cake and low protein. The standard group was fed for 7 weeks on the ration supplemented with 17% casein, 30% and 20% cake groups with sunflower seed oil cake by 30% and 20%, respectively, and low protein group without any supplementation. To observe value of erythrocyte, blood was taken from heart. Value of erythrocyte, hemoglobin and hematocrit value were determined by usual method and oxygen consumption by the method of Watts and Gourley. The result of this experiment suggests that it is recommendable to supplement deficient amino acids in animal.

Purpose: This study evaluates the potential protective effects of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seed oil supplementation in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet. Methods: Rats were fed a 1.25% cholesterol diet for 8 weeks, followed by oral administration of either of the two doses of hemp seed oil (HO) (0.5 mL/kg (HOL group) or 1 mL/kg (HOH group) body weight/day) or simvastatin at 10 mg/kg body weight/day. Oxidative stress, lipids, liver enzymes, and renal markers were measured in the serum. Western blot analysis was applied for evaluating the expressions of inflammatory makers. Results: Except for HDL-cholesterol, the altered levels of lipoproteins, aminotransferases, urea, and creatine kinases in hypercholesterolemic rats were significantly corrected by HO administration. Especially, compared to the HOH group, HOL treatment further reduced AST, ALT, creatinine, TC, and LDL-cholesterol levels. Moreover, both the atherogenic index and cardiac risk factor (CRF) in the HOL group were more restrained compared to the HOH group. Increased levels of p-AMPK coincided with the inhibition of SREBP-2 activation which subsequently suppressed the expression of HMGCR. Nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation coincided with the PI3K/Akt pathway activation and the increased phosphorylation of p38; these levels were significantly suppressed by HO treatment. In addition, HO treatment markedly reversed the changes in chemokines such as ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and MCP-1. Histological alterations induced by cholesterol overload in cardiac and hepatic tissues were ameliorated by HO supplementation. Conclusion: Taken together, our results indicate a low concentration of HO demonstrates improved dysfunctions caused by a high-cholesterol diet via inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.

This study was conducted to obtain the fundamental information on antioxidant component as affected by process of grain filling in different plant types of sesame. Sesamin and sesamolin as antioxidant components, oil content and seed weight were investigated for two plant types with different by branching habit. The sesamin and sesamolin contents in grains followed a pattern of increase immediately after flowering in branch type and monocapsule habit than non-branch type and tricapsule habit. But they started to decrease around 45 days after flowering, which oil content and seed weight continued to increase until maturity. The sesamin content increased quickly up from 10th to 40th day after flowering and showed almost maximum at 43th day after flowering. The sesamolin content increased quickly up from 20th to 30th day after flowering and showed almost maximum at 45th day after flowering. The oil content increased quickly up from 20th to 30th day after flowering and showed almost maximum at 47th day after flowering. The seed weight increased quickly up from 20th to 40th day after flowering and showed almost maximum at 48th day. The sesamin content, sesamolin content, oil content and seed weight showed almost maximum at from 43th to 48th day after flowering. So that this period was considered to be of physiological maturity.

In order to examine the effect of oil extraction methods on the characteristics of sesame oil, the unsaponifiable matters, fractionation sterol pattern and sterol compositions of the each fraction of the oil were compared in the oil extracted by the three different extraction methods, that is, pressure extraction of roasted seed (RTP), acetone extraction of roasted seed(RTE) and acetone extraction of raw seed(RWE). The amount of unsaponifiable in RWE oil was silghly higher as 31.8mg per 1mg drying oil than that in RTP oil of 26.1mg. Sesame oils from three different extraction methods were found to contain $0.26{\sim}0.32%$ free, $0.23{\sim}0.42%$ bound, and $0.49{\sim}0.64%$ total sterol. The content of free sterol in RWE oil was higher as 0.32% than that in RTE and RTP oil of 0.26%, and that of sterylglycoside in RTE oil was lower as 0.12% than that in RTP and RWE oil of 0.23%, but that of sterylester was a little difference. The unsaponifiable matter from fractionation sterol in sesame oil by three different extraction methods was fractionated into less polor compounds, 4,4-dimethyl-, 4-monomethyl-, 4-desmethylsterol fraction by thinlayer chromatography, and sterol composition of 4-desmethylsterol fraction was analyzed by gas liquid chromatography. The major sterols were campe-, stigma-, sito-, and ${\Delta}^5-avenasterol$, but, specially, unknown sterol(RRT:1.35) was found as $23.5{\sim}26.4%$ in total sterols, The content of sitosterol, ${\Delta}^5-avenasterol$, campesterol and stigmasterol were $59.9{\sim}60.3%,\;8.1{\sim}11%,\;16.1{\sim}18.4%,\;11.6{\sim}12.8%$ of the total sterol in free sterol fraction, $37.3{\sim}46.9,\;11.6{\sim}14.2,\;6.6{\sim}9.0$, and $6.1{\sim}8.0%$ of the total sterol in sterylglycoside fraction, $55.9{\sim}59.9,\;9.2{\sim}11.4,\;17.1{\sim}18.9$, and $11.8{\sim}13.7%$ of the total sterol in sterylester fraction, and $39.3{\sim}42.9,\;13.0{\sim}17.2,\;9.1{\sim}11.0$ and $7.4{\sim}11.5%$ of the total sterol in total sterol fraction. But the effect of oil extraction methods on sterol composition in sesame oil were hardly found.

In order to observe the effects of the feeds mixed with the lard and two vegetable seed oils on the fatty acid compositions of serum lipkid and lipoprotein, the oils mixed with 2.5% lard and various levels of perilla oil and evening promrose oil were administered to the male rats of the Sprague-DAwley for 4 weeks. In the fatty acid compositions of serum lipid and serum lipoprotein fractions, as the content so f mixed perilla oil decreased and the contents of mixed evening primrose oil increased, n -3 PUFa (polyunsaturated fatty acid) contents and ratio of EPA/AA (eicisapentaenoiidacid/arachidonic acid) tended to decrease, but n-6 PUFA contents and ratio of AA/PUFA tended to increase. Fatty acid compositions of serum lipid and serum lipoprotein fractions were influenced from the fatty acid composition of the test lipids.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-proliferative effect of methanolic extracts from Citrus junos (yuja) seeds and yuja seed oils against HT-29 human colon cancer cells and to identify the key compounds responsible for this effect. Extracts from yuja seeds, yuja seed oil prepared using hexane, and cold-pressed yuja seed oil were prepared using 60% methanol (ES, EHO, and ECO, respectively). The key compounds in the extracts were determined using HPLC-MS. Among the extracts, EHO and ECO inhibited proliferation of HT-29 cells. EHO and ECO were fractionated using preparative LC and the bioactive compounds were determined. Five of the fractions showed a significant anti-proliferative effect and the main compounds in the fractions were isopimpinellin, bergapten, and ichangensin. These compounds showed anti-proliferative effects on HT-29 cells when treated individually, and ichangensin showed the highest anti-proliferative activity. These results suggest that these compounds may be responsible for the anti-cancer effect of EHO and ECO.
