Impact of protein, lipid and carbohydrate on the headspace delivery of volatile compounds from hydrating powders (2012)
Journal Article

The release of volatile compounds, such as aroma, from a food material during hydration is of wide relevance to the food industry. To this end, dry powders of varying chemical composition were hydrated in a controlled system to investigate the impact...

Aroma encapsulation and aroma delivery by oil body suspensions derived from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus) (2011)
Journal Article

Oil bodies are small discrete cell organelles that can be found within oilseeds. Oil bodies have been investigated previously as a potential technology platform for use within the food industry, offering stable, antioxidant-enriched lipid-delivery...

In vitro assessment of the bioaccessibility of tocopherol and fatty acids from sunflower seed oil bodies (2009)
Journal Article

The in vitro digestibility (proteolytic and lipolytic) and bioaccessibility of nutritionally important compounds (α-tocopherol and fatty acids) have been studied for natural sunflower (Helianthus annuus) oil body suspensions in comparison to artifici...

Evaluation of antioxidant activity and vitamin E profile of some selected indigenous vegetables in Nigerian diet (2009)
Journal Article

Freeze-dried leaves of some selected vegetables (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius, Talinum fruticosum and Solanum macrocarpon) were examined for antioxidant activity and analysed for vitamin E profile, using Ferric-ion Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assa...

Gamma-irradiation as a method of microbiological control, and its impact on the oxidative labile lipid component of Cannabis sativa and Helianthus annus (2008)
Journal Article

The effect of irradiation (0-20 kGy) on hemp and sunflower seeds was assessed, with specific reference to the oxidatively labile lipid component (unsaturated fatty acids and tocochromanols). Total protein, lipid, and solids content of the seeds did n...

Extraction and characterization of oil bodies from soy beans: A natural source of pre-emulsified soybean oil (2007)
Journal Article

Soybeans contain oil bodies that are coated by a layer of oleosin proteins. In nature, this protein coating protects the oil bodies from environmental stresses and may be utilized by food manufacturers for the same purpose. In this study, oil bodies...
