Impact Of Chemical And Physical Properties On The Ability Of Antioxidants To Inhibit Lipid Oxidation In Foods, Jean Alamed Jan 2008

Impact Of Chemical And Physical Properties On The Ability Of Antioxidants To Inhibit Lipid Oxidation In Foods, Jean Alamed

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

Lipid oxidation is a major problem in foods resulting in alteration of texture, appearance, off flavors, aroma and decreased nutritional quality. The ability of compounds to inhibit lipid oxidation in foods is dependent on both physical and chemical properties. The effects of heating (50-90°C), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and calcium on the oxidative and physical stability of salmon oil-in-water emlusions were investigated in the first study. Oil-in-water emulsions were prepared with 2% salmon oil, stabilized by 0.2% Brij 35 at pH 7. Above 2.5 μM, EDTA dramatically decreased lipid oxidation in all samples. Addition of calcium to emulsions containing 7.5 μM …


Cancer Prevention By Tea And Tea Polyphenols, Hang Xiao, C.S. Yang, J. Ju, G. Lu, X. Hao, S. Sang, J. Lambert Jan 2008

Cancer Prevention By Tea And Tea Polyphenols, Hang Xiao, C.S. Yang, J. Ju, G. Lu, X. Hao, S. Sang, J. Lambert

Hang Xiao

The inhibition of tumorigenesis by tea extracts and tea polyphenols has been demonstrated in different animal models, including those for cancer of the skin, lung, oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, bladder, liver, pancrease, prostate, and mammary glands. Caffeine is also active in inhibition of tumorigenesis on the skin, lung, and perhaps other organs. In spite of many in vitro and in vivo studies, the molecular mechanisms for the cancer preventive actions of these compounds are not clearly known. The relationship between tea consumption and cancer risk has not been conclusively, and the relationship may become more clear if …
