Fatty acid

either saturated fatty acids and/or unsaturated fatty acids. The most common saturated fatty acids used in soap are, “lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid” ( Michelle 2014). If a more effective clean is desired then, using a saturated fatty acid is the way to go because they get rid of oils better. Due to this, soaps made up of saturated fatty acids are less prefered for skin because it will take away the natural oils produced by your skin. These saturated fatty acids…

Fish oil is a popularly dietary supplement. This oil is derived from the fatty tissues of cold water, oily fish. It is a rich source of two essential omega 3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, meaning that the body cannot make them and must be obtained from the diet. These fatty acids are now relatively rare in modern diets, which results in an imbalance that promotes several diseases and drives inflammation. Taking fish oil supplements regularly has…

Article (15) Obese is one association with NAFLD, therefore having a balanced diet and increasing the physical activity is one way in treating NAFLD (15). A diet that is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids is more beneficial compared to a low fat diet. The use of drinking coffee decreases the risk of having a fatty liver (15). Controlling cholesterol levels and diabetes is also important to treatment of NAFLD (15). Summary of Cirrhosis Cause Article (16) The buildup of scar tissue overtime…

Mustard oil is a fatty vegetable oil which is obtained from mustard seeds. There are basically three varieties of mustard oil available. The difference between these three varieties lies in the method of extraction, chemical composition and properties. The fatty vegetable mustard oil is extracted by pressing mustard seeds. Mustard oil is obtained by cold compression of the mustard seeds and by infusing this extracted oil with other oils to get the final product. Essential mustard oil is obtained…

molecular oxygen3. Serratia Marcescens is a gram negative bacterium. Gram negative bacteria have a thin cell of a single layer of peptidoglycan that is enclosed by an outer membrane. The outer membrane is surrounded by special phospholipids composed of fatty acids called lipopolysaccharides that are attached to a glucosamine…

Practical 3: Enzyme Activity (2.5) Research Question: How does the change of pH affect the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on the enzyme, catalase? Background Information: Enzymes are globular proteins, which are synthesised by cells in order to perform specific functions. These act as catalysts in chemical reactions and are considered a major factor in an organism as these reaction rates are required to be shortened in order to support life. Catalase is one of the most…

milk is mixed with sulphuric acid and iso-amyl alcohol in a special Gerber tube, permitting dissolution of the protein and release of fat. The tubes are centrifuged and the fat rising into the calibrated part of the tube is measured as a percentage of the fat content of the milk sample. Apparatus: - Butyro meter, 10.75ml pipette,amyl alcohol, stoppers, gerber centrifuge, water bath. Reagents:-Sulphuric acid, amyl alcohol. Procedure:-  Transfer 10 ml of sulphuric acid in to butyro meter .  Warm…

The synthesis of Aa-g-poly(MAA) involve the optimization of various reaction conditions like initiator concentration, monomer concentration, crosslinker concentration, solvent concentration and pH. After the optimization of various reaction parameters the replications were carried-out in triplicates for the reproducibility of the results and statistical of the results obtained. It was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 10. Statistical results of the…

Building, Victoria Street, Stellenbosch University. Rudi Scholtz, Thelema Mountain Vineyards, Helshoogte Pass, Stellenbosch. August 2015 ABSTRACT Malolactic fermentation is the conversion of harsh and acidic malic acid to a more desirable form of lactic acid in wine by Lactic acid bacteria, after the completion of alcoholic fermentation. This reaction can take place naturally in wine, proving to be very unpredictable and not always favourable, or by inoculation with bacterial cultures.…

What are the Uric Acid Rich Foods? – Uric acid is a chemical that is formed in the body when the body starts breaking down and this causes purine (purine) to grow. There are some food and drinks such as beer, mackerel, grind, beans, anchovies and dry beans. It is a special acid that travels through the kidneys in the blood and travels through kidneys and urine/urine and thus increases some conflicts. If a number of uric acid increases in the blood then the cause of hyperuricemia becomes. In…
