Effects of glycerol and nanoclay on physiochemical properties of camelina gum-based films – Qi G, Li N, Sun XS, Shi YC, Wang D. – Journal of Carbohydrate Polymers Summary: Film-forming properties of camelina gum (CG) were evaluated, including film appearance and morphological, mechanical, water/light barrier, and thermal properties. With 4% nanoclay, tensile strength of film increased from 43.2MPa to 54.6MPa ...
Summary: Out on the next frontier of nutritional research will be the complete biochemical and physiological characterization of plant-derived components that prevent or delay the development of chronic diseases in humans and animals. Camelina sativa … seeds contain up to 45% oil, which is rich in polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-2 fatty acids, as well as containing fat-soluble antioxidants such as ...
Summary: These findings suggest that defatted camelina seed meal should be evaluated for anticancer activity, similar to broccoli and other Brassicaceae family members. Link: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf501742h
The antioxidant activities of Camelina sativa methanolic extracts were evaluated by different chemical assays: reducing power, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the b-carotene bleaching method and the metal chelating activity assay. Results revealed that besides the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity, seeds and cake also possess a similar phenolic profile. In addition to sinapine and 4-vinyl derivatives, other antioxidants were successfully ...
Summary: The antioxidative effect of berry phenolics such as anthocyanins, ellagitannins, and proanthocyanidins from raspberry (Rubus idaeus), black currant (Ribes nigrum), and cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus) and byproducts of deoiling processes rich in phenolics such as rapeseed (Brassica rapa L.), camelina (Camelina sativa), and soy (Glycine max L.) as well as scots pine bark (Pinus sylvestris) was investigated in an H2O2-oxidized ...
Summary: False flax (Camelina sativa L.) was studied to determine the fatty acid (FA) composition, chemical composition, in vitro organic matter digestibility, and gross energy of the seeds and of the plant during growth. Link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377840106001878
