Background: The aim of this study was to investigate demographic features, dietary habits, and some possible risk factors for being susceptible to breast cancer in Iranian women. Materials and Methods: A study of dietary habits and breast cancer was conducted among 53 Iranian women with histological confirmed disease and 40 matched controls. A dietary habits questionnaire was used to evaluate the pattern of selected food intakes. The risk of cancer was analyzed after adjustment for confounding factors. Age, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, educational status, parity, lactation, marital status, menopause, history of estrogen therapy, and family history of breast disease or cancer were assessed among participants. Special attention was given to the relationship between consumption of high fat meat, milk, yogurt and cheese as well use of frying oils for frying foods, use of olive/liquid oils for cooking, removing fat from meat and poultry, removing chicken skin and not use of mayonnaise as salad dressing and the risk of breast cancer. Moreover, salad, vegetable and fruit consumption, and eating outdoors owere investigated. Results: Our results revealed significant lower education and higher BMI and waist circumference levels in patients with breast cancer. There was significantly increased breast cancer risk in overweight women in comparison with normal weight (OR=2.91, 95%CI 1.24 to 6.82). High intake of fat dairy products including milk and cheese was found to be a statistically significant factor for increasing breast cancer risk in models adjusting for age, BMI and education. Use of olive/liquid oils for cooking and avoidance of mayonnaise as salad dressing are related to lower risk of breast cancer. The frequency of vegetable and fruit consumption was significantly lower in patients with breast cancer compared to healthy women. Conclusions: Dietary habits might be risk factors for breast cancer among Iranian women. Adoption of a prudent diet could be an appropriate strategy for preventing breast cancer.

The oxidative stability of the ramyon prepared with rapeseed oil fortified with antioxidants or blended with palm oil was studied to explore the possibility of substituting it for Imported frying fats and oils. Natural tocopherols, butylated hydroxyanisole(BHA), tertiarybutyl hydroquinone(TBHQ), and ascorbyl palmitate with citric acid were used at a level of 0.02 percent. Blended oils were prepared by adding a palm oil to the rapeseed oil at ratios of 7:3, 5:5, and 3:7(w/w), respectively. Ramyon samples were stored at $35.0{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$. for 90 days. The values of parameters, such as peroxide value, unsaturation ratio, and dielectric constant, of the extracted oils were regularly determined. An organoleptic test for the flavor of the samples was also performed. The oxidative stability of the samples was estimated on the basis of the changes of the parameter values. The effectiveness of the antioxidants was in the order of TBHQ ${\gg}$ ascorbyl palmitate with citric acid>BHA>natural tocopherols. The oxidative stability of the ramyon prepared with the rapeseed oil containing 0.02 percent TBHQ was almost as good as that of the ramyon prepared with the palm oil. The stability of the ramyon prepared with the blended oil containing 70 percent palm oil was also as good as that of the ramyon prepared with the palm oil.

The oxidative stability of the potato chip prepared with canola oil fortified with antioxidnats was studied to explore the possibility of substituting it for imported frying fats and oils. BHT, BHA, TBHQ and silicone were added to the oil at a level of 0.02% and 10 ppm, respectively. Potato chip samples were prepared in a commercial scale and stored at $25.0{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ for 5 months. The oxidative stability of the extracted oils from potato chips during storage was estimated on the basis of some their physico-chemical changes, such as acid values, peroxide values, iodine values, ansidine values, fatty acid composition of the oils. An organoleptic test for the flavor of the samples was also performed. The oxidative stability of the samlpes was estimated on the basis of the changes of the parameter values. The effectiveness of the antioxidants was in the order of canola oil+TBHQ (0.02%)+silicone (10 ppm) > canola oil+TBHQ (0.02%) > canola oil+BHA (0.02%)+silicone (10 ppm) > canola oil+BHT (0.02%)+silicone (10 ppm) > canola oil+BHA (0.02%) > canola oil+BHT (0.02%) > canola oil. The antioxidant effect of canola oil+TBHQ (0.02%)+silicone (10 ppm) was more salient than any other antioxidant used in the potato chip.

The effect of heated oil on human nutrition has recently become of great interest to nutritionists and food chemists. However, the detrimental effect of heated oil has been hardly studied extensively and many problems have still remained unsolved. This study was carried out to investigate the storage stability of the heated oils at room temperature (25$\pm$5$^{\circ}C$), with the variation in storage conditions (addition of spices and herbs) for 7 weeks period. The rancidity of the oils according to storage time and condition was measured and compared with TBA, ferric thiocyanate, and DPPH method. For fresh oil, when stored for 7 weeks at room temperature, her was no significant change in the degree of oxidation. But for the heated oil with frying materials, the degree of oxidation significantly increased at 5 weeks(p<0.05). When stored with spices and herbs, the degree of oxidation significantly decreased with storage period(p<0.05). Antioxidative activity of herbs, especially sage group was higher than that of any other group.

A new bacterial strain, was isolated from activated sludge, identified and named P. aeruginosa EMS1. The new strain produced surface-active rhamnolipids by batch cultivation in mineral salts medium with waste flying oils. The mutant strain KH7, designated P. aeruginosa EMS1, derived by random mutagenesis with N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosogoanidine treatment producing high levels of the biosurfactants was selected by an ion-pair plate assay. The mutant strain KH7 showed 4-5 times more hydrocarbon emulsification as compared to the parent when grown on waste frying oils and various hydrocarbons. Furthermore, P. aeruginosa EMS1 and mutant strain KH7 was also able to use whey as a co-substrate for growth and biosurfactant production. As results of this study, mutant strain KH7 is a very efficient biosurfactant producer, and its culture conditions are relatively inexpensive and economical. Rhamnolipid is synthesized by the rhlAB-encoded rhamnosyltransferase. To be convinced of these genes, we performed PCR based on P. aeruginosa PAO1 whole-genome database. rhl gene cluster nucleotide and amino acid sequences were compared for both parent and mutant. Comparison of nucleotide sequence of rhlAB, there were usually terminal's codons exchange.

4-Hydroxyalkenals are cytotoxic aldehydes generated by the oxidation of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. To evaluate the potential risk of 4-hydroxyalkenals on Koreans, quantitative data of various oils are necessary. Simultaneous monitoring of 4-hydroxyhexenal and 4-hydroxynoneal in 39 samples including new and used ones through single ion monitoring mode of GC/MS detected both aldehydes in all samples tested, ranging from 0.21 to 26.9 nmol/g for 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal and 0.06 to 56.6 nmol/g for 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. Frying oils collected from local markets showed 2.28-7.90 and 8.31-30.5 nmol/g of 4-hydroxyhexenal and 4-hydroxynoneal, respectively. National health and nutrition survey data were employed to determine the exposure effect to these 4-hydroxyalkenals from the four most consumed oils in Korea. Daily exposures to hydroxyalkenals excluding possible exposure from fried food were $1.9\;{\mu}g$ from soybean oil, $0.5\;{\mu}g$ from sesame oil, $0.2\;{\mu}g$ from corn oil, and $0.1\;{\mu}g$ from perilla oil. Due to the increasing consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids in Korea, these data may provide valuable information for evaluating possible physiological effects of 4-hydroxyalkenals from vegetable oils.

Antioxidants. BHA, BHT and PG were added to a commercial soybean oil at a level of 200 ppm, and the antioxidant-treated oils and a control oil were subjected to 30 min. heating at $150{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and 23.5 hr. cooling at room temperature for 6 times. Variations of % antioxidant retention and some physical and chemical properties of the oils were investigated. The results of the present study were as follows. 1. The % retention of BHA, BHT and PG after the second heating and cooling was respectively 60.5, 55.7 and 40.5 %. That of BHA, BHT and PG after the 6th heating and cooling was respectively 5.7, 3.0 and 1.8 %. 2. The refractive indices and viscosity of the oils, including the control, increased slowly at first. but after 4th heating and cooling, these values increased rapidly. The color indices of the oils, including the control, increased very rapidly, but after the 2nd heating and cooling, the rates of the increase diminished considerably. 3. The efficiency of each antioxidant in suppressing peroxide, thiobarbituric acid, and acid value development decreased rapidly as the antioxidant contents of the oils decreased. After the 6th heating and cooling, the peroxide. thiobarbituric acid and acid values of the oils treated initially with the antioxidants did not differ appreciably from those of the control.

This survey was conducted to investigate about purchasing, use and management of cooking oil, and the intake amounts of each food and fats & oils from each food on 296 housewives in a big city, medium and small city, farming village, fishing village, and mountain village from June 5 to July 20 in 1987. The percentage and $x^2$-test were used in data analysis and the arithmetic mean of the gross intake divided by the total subjects gave the intake amounts per capita per day. The results of this study are as following; 1. Purchasing and keeping of cooking oil. The reading ratio of label in purchasing cooking oil was high among housewives of cities and highly educated housewives. There were dissatisfactions about quality (46.7%), price (33.7%), and packing (19.5%) after purchasing cooking oil. Cooking oil was being kept mainly in glasses (64.7%) or in synthetic plastics (31.5%), and also in dark & cool places. 2. Use and refining of cooking oil. More housewives (70.6%) kept cooking oil used once in a different container after filtering. The housewives re-using used oil after adding new oil to it were only 30.0%. There were a lot of housewives frying foods twice or three times in the same oil. 3. Intake of fats & oils and foods containing fats & oils. Average intake amounts of food containing fats & oils per person per day was 6.85g in fats & oils, 42.96g in meat & its products, 95.13g in fishes & shellfishes, 22.89g in eggs, 60.69g in legumes & its products, 61.00g in milk & milk products, 4.22g in seeds & nuts, and 9.36g in instant noodles. Average intake amounts of fats & oils per person per day taken from these foods was 6.4g from fats & oils, 2.3g from meat & its products, 4.3g from fishes & shellfishes, 2.7g from eggs, 3.0g from legumes & its products, 2.5g from milk & milk products, 1.8g from seeds & nuts, and 1.7g from instant noodles.

More than 500 different compounds have been identified in the cooking process of frying oil as a result of chemical reactions such as oxidation, polymerization, hydrolysis and pyrolysis, 3-MCPDe(3-Monochloropropane -1,2-diol ester) and GE(glycidyl ester) are also included in these compounds. When MCPDe and GE derivatives are absorbed into the body, they are converted into free forms by lipase enzymes, which turn into 3-MCPD and glycidol(2,3-epoxy-1-propanol), respectively. These exhibit genotoxic and carcinogenic effects. As the toxicity of 3-MCPDe and GE is known worldwide, the health risk is being researched. However, regulations have not been established in countries other than the European Union(EU). Several studies for the analysis of 3-MCPDe and GE are being conducted, and direct methods and indirect methods are applied. As a result of analyzing 3-MCPDe and GE contained in commercially available foods by various analysis methods, the content of 3-MCPDe in baby food/infant formula was ND~600 ㎍/mL and GE was ND~750 ㎍/mL. and purified vegetable oils and fats showed <250-8,430 ㎍/mL and 1,880-9,530 ㎍/mL. Thus, 3-MCPDe and GE were detected in various food types, several studies for the reduction of 3-MCPDe and GE are being conducted around the world.
