Abstract Some physical and chemical properties, including fatty acid composition by gas chromatography, of 15 commercially refined safflower oils and three crude oils extracted from safflower seed, were determined. The average and standard deviations found were: refractive index, 1.4748 ± 0.0003; specific gravity, 0.9210 ± 0.0005; iodine number, Wijs, 143.4 ± 1.4; squalene, 7.1 mg/100 g ± 1.1; and Bellier test, 7.4° ± 0.9. The major fatty acid components were; palmitic 6.7 ± 0.3, stearic 2.7 ± 0.4, oleic 12.9 ± 0.6, and linoleic 77.5 ± 1.1. Minor fatty acid components detected were myristic, arachidic, and eicosenoic acids.

Human health is largely determined by the influence of environmental factors, including the quality of foodstuff. Nutrition is one of the most important factors, so the application of modern knowledge about the energy value and fatty acid composition of basic foods, as well as the organization of a rational diet of people on this basis can significantly improve it. This article analyses data on the fatty acid composition of fat when using different feedstuffs in swine diets. The use of additives in animal diets in order to increase their productivity affects the quality of products, in particular the fatty acid composition of swine fat, which influences the physical and chemical properties and technological properties of food products. The role of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in human and animal bodies, which play an extremely important role in metabolism, is described. The data on their content in fat and swine products as the main source of these substances in the human diet are summarised. The importance of a balanced intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the human diet is discussed, which contributes to the prevention of various diseases, and a review of the results of studies on the effect of various feedstuffs on the fatty acid composition of swine products is given, since the content of individual fatty acids that are not synthesised in the animal body is affected by feed quality and the presence of fatty acids in lipids of feed, which determine the quality of human foods.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
