Two-dimensional (2-D) visualization of hydroxyl (OH) radical in combustion of biofuel made of waste rice bran oil (called W) mixed with octanol (called O) at different mixture ratios were examined in a laboratory scale facility using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) diagnostics. Rice bran oil has a composition similar to that of peanut oil, with 38% monounsaturated, 37% polyunsaturated, and 25% saturated fatty acids. The ratio of this biofuel to octanol fuel examined was W90/O10, W75/O25, and W60/O40. The chemical species generated from within the combustion zone were analyzed from the spontaneous emission spectra of the flame in the ultraviolet to visible (Uv-Vis) range. The spatial distribution of Nitric Oxide (NO) and OH, denoted as OH*, were identified from the spectra. Two-dimensional (2-D) distributions of flame temperature were obtained using a thermal video camera. The experimental results showed the temperatures to range from 600 °C to 1400 °C. The highest temperature was obtained using W60/O40 waste/octanol fuel mixture. A practical burner commonly used in Indonesia, called semawar, that have a built-in preheating system was used for the combustion of biofuels.

In situ monitoring of chemical species from the combustion pulverized coal in high-temperature air is examined using several different spectroscopic diagnostic at different equivalence ratios. Two-dimensional (2D) distributions of flame temperature were obtained using a thermal video camera. The experimental results showed the temperatures to range from low to 1400 °C under various conditions of fuel-lean, stoichiometric, and fuel-rich. The highest temperature and flame stability were obtained under fuel-lean combustion condition. The chemical species generated from within the combustion zone were analyzed from the spontaneous emission spectra of the flame in the Ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) range. The spatial distribution of NO, OH, and CN were identified from the spectra. The 2D distribution of emission intensity visualized and recorded for NO, OH, and CN revealed high-temperatures close to the root of the flame that rapidly dispersed radially outward to provide very high temperatures over a much larger volume at further downstream locations of the flame.

The concept of biodiesel as an alternative fuel is not an overnight thought, but the escalating prices, pungent emission gases and non-ecological behavior of fossil fuels has constrained the researchers to take the necessary steps. Biodiesels which are renewable in nature and having environmental friendly attribute have shown the potential to be the perfect replacement for the diesel fuels. Similarly, this study demonstrates the characteristics of Rice Bran Oil (RBO) which can be used as a latent substitute for diesel products. RBO is a vegetable oil, which is extracted from the rice bran (by-product of rice grain). Since rice is the staple diet for more than half of the world population, the quantity of RBO that can be extracted is enormous.  In this study, the converted RBO into biodiesel (RBOBD) was blended with diesel to produce B5, B15 and B25 to determine physical properties and combustion performance. Owing to highly packed molecules of RBOBD, the properties such as density, kinematic viscosity and surface tension are higher in RBOBD and its blends than diesel.  In contrast, the calorific value is lower. In the combustion test, the highest wall temperature is achieved at stoichiometric fuel mixture, while among the fuels, the wall temperature decreases as the biodiesel proportion increases in the blends. Moreover, in B25, emissions such as CO and SO2 are 68% and 50% lower than that of diesel respectively. However, due to the additional oxygen present in the biodiesel structure, NOx emission of B25 is 15.67% higher than diesel.

The present study was done to evaluate the quality and the vitamin A fortification status of 5 types of commercial edible oils sold in Dhaka city markets. The percentages of free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value (POV), iodine value (IV) and fatty acid composition were estimated to evaluate the quality and vitamin A content were determined to evaluate the vitamin A fortification status of 25 commercial edible oils- soybean oil, sunflower oil, rice bran oil, mustard oil and palm olein (5 brands of each) . The results revealed that FFA, POV and IV of the commercial oils analyzed were within the BSTI standard limits. The highest saturated fatty acids (SFA) values ranging from 39.85 ± 0.005 to 46.97 ± 0.002 % was found in palm olein samples and the lowest SFA values ranging from 4.56 ± 0.031 to 6.97 ± 0.096 % was found in mustard oils. On the other hand, mustard oils contained highest monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) ranging from 69.30 ± 0.189 to 75.87 ± 0.069 % compared to other oils analyzed. Highest polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were recorded in sunflower oils 64.78 ± 0.035% followed by soybean oils 63.25 ± 0.245%. In addition, except sunflower and mustard oils, vitamin A was found in all the soybean and rice bran oils analyzed. On the contrary, vitamin A was found only in 60% of the palm olein samples analyzed and the content was much lower than the standard value (15-30 ppm). Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

The aim of this study was to analyze in detail the changes produced by the enzymatic interesterification of BT/RBO blends (beef tallow/rice bran oil) at different proportions, as an alternative for production of trans free fats. It was observed that the increase in the oil content produced a range of the content of saturated fatty acids from 20 to 38% in the blend and a range of polyunsaturated fatty acids from 35 to 18%. In TAG composition, the SUU and SSS type (S: saturated fatty acid; U: unsaturated fatty acid) increased in concentration as a result of interesterification process and this effect was more noticeable when the blend was richer in oil, arriving at 19 and 4% respectively in 50:50 BT/RBO blend. These variations in composition greatly improved the plastic range of BT. The process studied produced new trans free fatty materials with improving suitability as food ingredients. Therefore, promising new materials were developed.

The objective was to get beef that contain unsaturated fatty acids (especially omega 3 and 6), so as to improve intelligence, physical health for those who consume. The study design using CRD with 3 treatments, each treatment used 4 Bali cattle aged approximately 1.5 years. Observations were made 8 weeks. Pasta mixed with ginger provided konsentrat. P1 (control); P2 (6% saponification lemuru fish oil, olive oil 1%; rice bran: 37.30%; corn: 62.70%; KLK: 7%, ginger paste: 100 g); P3 (lemuru fish oil saponification 8%, 2% olive oil; rice bran; 37.30; corn: 62.70%; KLK: 7%, ginger paste: 200 g). Konsentrat given in the morning as much as 1% of the weight of the cattle based on dry matter, while the grass given a minimum of 10% of the weight of livestock observation variables include: fatty acid composition of meat. Data the analyzies qualitative. The results of the study showed that the composition of saturated fatty acids in meat decreased and an increase in unsaturated fatty acids, namely linoleic acid (omega 6) and linolenic acid (omega 3), and deikosapenta deikosaheksa acid.Keywords :

Background and Objectives: For a long time, Asian women have known to use rice water, rice bran for skin care, lightening dark spots and slowing down the aging process. Gamma Oryzanol, an ester mixture of trans-ferulic acid with phytosterols and triterpene alcohols extracted from rice bran oil, has been shown to have beneficial effects on the skin, especially its antioxidant and anti-aging effect. The aims of this research were to formulate Gamma Oryzanol-loaded anti-aging cream and to evaluate the product quality. Materials and Methods: Gamma Oryzanol was imported from Japan. Some formulation parameters such as emulsifi-ers, performance modifiers were investigated and the product quality was evaluated according to the criteria of drugs and cosmetics. Results: The excipients were chosen including 1% (w/w) of Lunamer with 3% (w/w) of Prolipid as emulsifiers and 8% (w/w) of mango seed butter as a state modifier in the formulation of Gamma Oryzanol anti-aging cream. The cream is ivory-white, thick, smooth, fragrant-smelling and satisfied all criteria of developed specification. Conclusion: The study was successful in the preparation of Gamma Oryzanol anti-aging cream. Key words: Gamma Oryzanol, anti-aging cream, Franz cells.
