Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which

Pan‐Frying Conditions Affect the Tocopherol Intake From Edible Oils: Results From Temperature Measurements and the Standardized Heating of an Edible Oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
High temperatures in a short time on electric stoves in private homes. Fast loss of tocochromanols using standardized conditions and a miniature heating apparatus. ABSTRACT Tocochromanols (vitamin E compounds) are essential ingredients in human nutrition. Their consumption via edible oils is considered the main source of dietary intake.

Alkali‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Acylglycerol Estolides Exclusively from Castor Oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
This work advances sustainable chemistry by converting renewable castor oil into high‐performance estolides via solvent‐free, low‐energy catalysis. ABSTRACT Estolides are oligomers composed of fatty acid (FA) monomers linked through secondary ester bonds located along the mid‐chain region.

Annatto‐Derived Carotenoids (Bixin and Norbixin) As Biodiesel Antioxidants: Characterization and Effects on Oxidative Stability (Rancimat and PetroOXY)

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Annatto‐derived bixin and norbixin were characterized and evaluated as natural antioxidants for soybean biodiesel. Their antioxidant performance and effects on oxidative stability were assessed using DPPH, Rancimat, and PetroOXY methods. ABSTRACT The increasing use of eco‐friendly fuels is increasing the production of biodiesel but soybean biodiesel is
