Oxidative stability of Echium plantagineum seed oil bodies (2010)
Journal Article
Gray, D. A., Payne, G., McClements, D. J., Decker, E. A., & Lad, M. (2010). Oxidative stability of Echium plantagineum seed oil bodies. European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, 112(7), 741-749. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejlt.200900280

Echium plantagineum seed contains a highly polyunsaturated oil (approximately 14% linoleic acid, 10% γ-linolenic acid, 33% α-linolenic acid and 14% stearidonic acid); almost half of the fatty acids are omega-3 fatty acids, so there is an interest in...

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
Fisk, I. D., Gkatzionis, K., Lad, M., Dodd, C. E., & Gray, D. A. (2009). Gamma-irradiation as a method of microbiological control, and its impact on the oxidative labile lipid component of Cannabis sativa and Helianthus annus. European Food Research and Technology, 228(4), 613-621. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00217-008-0970-3

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...
