Chloroplasts, isolated from fresh spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) were treated with four concentrations of each 2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine (simazine) or 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine (atrazine) to determine the influence of these herbicides on the free fatty acid content in isolated chloroplasts. The treated chloroplast solutions were sampled at 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min following treatment. Results indicated that most herbicide treatments increased free fatty acid content in isolated chloroplasts when compared with the zero concentration treatments. The increased fatty acid content was similar for most concentrations of simazine and atrazine. Results of individual fatty acid analyses indicated that the increase in total fatty acids was a result of increases in concentration of unsaturated rather than saturated fatty acids.

SummaryThe effect of brining time and smoking on the free fatty acid content of Idiazabal cheese during ripening was examined. The main free fatty acids considered underwent at least some increase during the first stage of ripening before day 90 and tended to level off around a constant value towards the end of the ripening period. There were significant differences in free fatty acid levels during ripening among cheeses with different brining times and between smoked and unsmoked cheeses. Brining time and smoking exerted marked effects on lipolytic activity during cheese ripening, depending upon the free fatty acid involved and ripening time. In general, brining and smoking led to increases in free fatty acid levels at the end of the ripening period; the different behaviour of butyric acid may be due to a specific lipolytic activity.

Free fatty acids and peroxide are part of cooking oil quality parameters. This study aims to determine the levels of free fatty acids and peroxide value in cooking oil used by fried merchant in Jl. A.W. Sjahranie Samarinda. Sampling was done by total sampling which is cooking oil before frying and after frying a few times from four fried merchants. Determination of free fatty acid content using alkalimetry method and levels of peroxide using iodometric method.The test results of the free fatty acid content of samples A, B, C, D cooking oil before frying is equal to 0.16%; 0.27%; 0.33%; 0.32%, and free fatty acid levels after few times frying is 0.19%; 0.29%; 0.37%; 0.36%. The test results of the peroxide sample A, B, C, D cooking oil before frying in the amount of 18.95 meq O2/kg; 27.63 meqO2/kg; 24.67 meq O2/kg; 23.29 meq O2/kg. Peroxide levels after several times frying is 26.25 meqO2/kg; 35.72 meqO2/kg; 34.54 meqO2/kg; 33.16 meqO2/kg. Average levels of free fatty acids cooking oil before frying is 0.27% and after frying to 0.30%, or an increase of 12.04%. While the average level of peroxide cooking oil before frying of 23.64 meqO2/kg and after frying be 32.42 meqO2/kg or an increase of 37.16%.

Palm oil is the most abundant of all oils produced globally. It is very high in saturated fatty acids specifically palmitic acid, but other fatty acids (monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated) are presented at low concentrations. In the processing plant some high amount of oleic acid with some other unsaturated fatty acids are extracted and marketed as Palm olein oil, and used to reduce blood or egg cholesterol (Rievelles et al., 1994). The objective of this study was to determine the optimum level of dietary palm olein oil required to enrich the mono-unsaturated fatty acid content of yolk, egg cholesterol and antibody titre.

The application of high intensity, pulsed infrared radiation for roasting of groundnuts is attempted and the product quality is compared with that of the conventionally roasted samples. Product qualities such as lightness (color), compressive strength (texture) and free fatty acid content are analyzed for different combinations of roasting duration (4-12 min) and temperature (160-200°C), selected based on central composite rotatable design (CCRD). Pulsed infrared roasting at 178-188°C for 6.8-9.2 min resulted in optimum product quality in terms of color, texture and free fatty acid content. The other parameters such as oil and moisture content, peroxide value and sensory characteristics of roasted nuts are also evaluated for the select temperature-duration combinations. The oil yield increased marginally with roasting duration and temperature. Peroxide number, an indicator of the stability of fat, did not vary during infrared roasting. Groundnuts processed at 180°C for 8 min scored high in terms of sensory attributes. Infrared roasting resulted in better product quality as compared to drum and sand roasting.

Abstract Sewage sludge was subjected to hydrothermal fueling (HTF) (330 °C for 40 min), obtaining hydrochar at 13.5 MJ kg−1. The higher heating value (HHV) of the raw sludge was related to its fatty acid content. The results showed that although the higher heating value (HHV) of the raw sludge was related to its fatty acid content, with the intensification of HTF, the increase in aliphatic/cyclic amino acids determined the production of HHV in the hydrochar. In order to increase the content of fatty acids and amino acids, the sludge was fermented. However, the Bacteroidetes consumed the organic matter too early, which was detrimental to the production of HHV. Therefore, appropriate sludge fermentation is recommended to restrict excessive Bacteroidetes proliferation, decompose lipids to saturated fatty acids, and convert proteins to aliphatic/cyclic amino acids to increase the efficiency of converting sludge to fuel.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Masyarakat Indonesia memiliki ketergantungan terhadap minyak goreng. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang penggunaan dan mutu minyak goreng yang beredar di masyarakat khususnya pada <em>food court</em> Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia. Analisis penggunaan minyak goreng penjaja makanan dilakukan dengan melakukan survey. Untuk mengetahui kualitas minyak goreng, dilakukan analisis laboratorium yang meliputi pengukuran kadar air, kadar asam lemak bebas, dan bilangan Iod. Dari dua belas kantin, ada sembilan kantin yang menggunakan minyak goreng. Hasil analisis penggunaan minyak goreng, penjaja makanan secara konsisten  34% menggunakan minyak goreng bermerek dagang A. Pemilihan minyak berdasarkan warna dilakukan oleh 45% penjaja makanan. Berdasarkan frekuensi pembelian, 56% penjaja makanan membeli minyak per hari. Selain itu, 45% penjaja makanan menggunakan minyak dua kali pakai. Analisis kebutuhan minyak menunjukkan, 34% penjaja makanan menghabiskan 5 liter minyak per hari. Cara pembuangan minyak yang dilakukan oleh penjaja, 78% membuang minyaknya setelah digunakan, dimana 67% penjaja makanan membuangnya ke tempat sampah. Berdasarkan pengukuran kadar air, kadar asam lemak bebas, dan bilangan Iod menunjukkan bahwa minyak goreng yang digunakan belum memenuhi standar syarat mutu, walaupun kadar air yang masih di dalam ambang batas normal yaitu kurang dari 0,30%, namun kadar asam lemak bebas baik sebelum maupun sesudah penggunaan melebihi ambang batas normal yang didukung oleh hasil pengukuran bilangan Iod.</p><h6 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Abstract</strong></h6><p style="text-align: justify;">Indonesian society has dependence of cooking oil. Based on this condition, the analysis of cooking oil utilization and quality requirement at UAI food court is necessary and it was done. The analysis of cooking oil utilization was done by doing some survey. In order to search the quality of cooking oil, laboratory analysis was done that consist of water content, free fatty acid content, and Iod number. There are nine canteens from twelve canteens which utilize cooking oil. The result of cooking oil utilization analysis shows that 34% of merchant is utilizing A trade mark cooking oil, 45% is identifying cooking oil based on color. 56% is buying cooking oil per day, 45% is utilizing the cooking oil twice, 34% is spending 5 liters cooking oil per day, 78% is casting the cooking oil after utilize it, and 67% is casting the cooking oil into trash can. Based on the result of water content, free fatty acid content, and Iod number analysis showed that cooking oil is never fulfill normal limit, although the water content is still in proper limit is less than 0,30%, whereas free fatty acid content before or after analysis are very high and do not in proper limit and it is supported by Iod number measurement result.</p>
