Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.

Phytosterol and its esters as novel food ingredients: A review

Asian Journal of Dairy and Food Research, 2016
Phytosterols or stanols are large group of compounds found exclusively in plants. These are naturally present in plants and are structurally similar to cholesterol. A daily intake of 3 g of phytosterol (or their reduced form stanols) is associated with consistent and reproducible reduction in LDL cholesterol concentrations upto 10% and reduces the risk

Canopy attachment position influences metabolism and peel constituency of European pear fruit

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Inconsistent pear fruit ripening resulting from variable harvest maturity within tree canopies can contribute to postharvest losses through senescence and spoilage that would otherwise be effectively managed using crop protectant and storage ...

Optimization of Saponification Process for Quantification of Individual and Total Tocopherols and Phytosterols in Canola Oil Refining By‐Products

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 10, Page 1195-1210, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, saponification variables were optimized using a face‐centred central composite design‐response surface methodology. The variables included reaction temperature (50°C–120°C), reaction time (30–180 min), KOH concentration (0.5–3 M) and pyrogallol concentration (0–1% w/v).

The effect of adding a commercial phytosterol ester mixture on the phase behavior of palm oil [PDF]

Food Research International, 2017
The objective of this study was to investigate in depth the non-isothermal crystallization and melting behavior of binary blends of palm oil (PO) with a commercial, multi-component phytosterol ester (PE) mixture. DSC and time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments were conducted on blends with a PE concentration from 0 to 100% at ...

Protective Effects of a Cissus quadrangularis Stem Peel Ash Derived Salt Against Streptozotocin Induced Cellular Injury in SH‐SY5Y Cells

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
Cissus quadrangularis stem peel‐derived bio salt protects SH‐SY5Y neuroblastoma cells against streptozotocin‐induced neurotoxicity by reducing oxidative stress, suppressing apoptosis, and improving cell viability. These findings highlight its potential as a natural neuroprotective agent for neurodegenerative disorders.
