        Introduction: This research work is concerned to identify and present the optimal formulation for maximum stability time of pan releasing oil. Non separation of food products particularly bakery ones from the pan will reduce the quality of the product and causes some wastes. This study was designed to optimize the possibility of increasing the shelf life of releasing pan oils by using sunflower seed and canola oils.Materials and Methods: In order to formulate the pan releasing oil by Design Expert, sunflower seed andcanola oils with three different kinds of antioxidant (TBHQ, BHA, BHT) at different concentrations (100 ppm to 200 ppm) were prepared. Percent free fatty acid, acid value, peroxide value, induction period and fatty acid profile and composition were determined according to the national standard. The optimum concentration of the antioxidant concerned with pan releasing oil was obtained at 35° C for 90 days. Results: The result of this study indicated that the best result concerned with above factors was sunflower seed oil with 155 ppm tert-Butylhydroquinone concentration. Therefore, sunflower seed oil with added TBHQ as antioxidant might be used as a new and healthy pan releasing oil. Conclusion: Sunflower seed oil containing TBHQ might be introduced as a stable, healthy pan releasing oil. Conclusion: Sunflower seed oil containing TBHQ might be introduced as a stable, healthy pan releasing oil. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Grape seed oil is important to human health due to its very pleasant taste, odor, as well as its high nutritional values. Consumption of the grape seed oil in the diet has been increasing in recent years. Long periods of heating will deteriorate the oil and fried products due to oxidative and hydrolytic changes and reactions. Therefore, accurate control of the frying processes and changes are quiet essential. Materials and Methods: In this study, the effects of deep frying at 180 °C (24 and 48 hours) on some chemical characteristics of grape seed oil namely sterol profile and fatty acid composition have been studied using chromatography techniques. Results: The results indicated that, the predominant fatty acid was linoleic acid, and by increasing the heating period, more unsaturated fatty acids namely linoleic acid was decreased due to oxidation. The phytosterols study showed that beta-sitosterol was the predominant phytosterol and deep fat frying did not affect its concentration. Conclusion: Due to the high concentration of linoleic acid and beta-sitosterol in grape seed oil, it might be stated that the oil has a high nutritional value, but considering the changes during frying it might not be recommended for frying practices.

        In recent years there has been development of non-conventional and underexploited promising plant species as new sources of oils. Many of them contain significant quantities of oils with high proportion of nutritionally, medicinally or industrially desirable fatty acids.Tobacco seeds, grown in the north of Iran, were investigated in this study. The oil, ash and water contents of tobacco seeds alongwith fatty acid composition, acid value, iodine value, peroxide value, saponification value, p-anisidine value, density, viscosity, refractive index, oxidation stability, differential scanning calorimetric and thermogravimetric profiles, UV-Vis, FT-IR, Fluorescence spectra, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of the extracted seed oil were analysed. The results showed that the tobacco seeds contained a high amount of oil (~40%). The three major fatty acids in the tobacco seed oil were linoleic (71.35%), oleic (14.57%), and palmitic (8.67%) acids. Tobacco seed oil showed absorbance in the UV-B and UV-C ranges with potential for use as a broad spectrum UV protectant. Tobacco seed oil showed high kinetic stability, as characterized by differential scanning calorimetry. Total phenol content of tobacco seed oil was also higher compared with soybean, falx seed and corn oil. According to the IC50 value (0.438 g/ml), tobacco seed oil can be categorized as an oil with considerable antioxidant potential. This study reveals that tobacco seed oil has a high level of functional lipids and can be used as a new source of oil in different applications. Manuscript profile

        To investigate the effect of vermicompost fertilizer application on physiological characteristics of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) genotypes in different sowing dates, an experiment was conducted using randomized complete block design arranged in factorial split plot with three replicates. The factorial combination of two sowing dates 17 and 27 October, considered as optimum and late sowing dates, respectively and two vermicompost rates, 0 and 20 t.ha-1 were allocated to the main plots and six canola genotypes (BAL104, DIE710.08, BAL102, FJL290, FJL330, Okapi) were randomized in sub-plots. The results indicated that seed yield, yield components, seed oil percentage and fatty acid compositions increased in all genotypes by different sowing dates. The highest seed yield (5853 and 5762 kg.ha-1), seed oil percentage (43.98 and 43.85%), oleic acid (65.23 and 64.93%) and linoleic acid (20.51 and 20.37%) were produced at optimum sowing date by FJL290 and BAL102 lines, which represent a high potential of this genotypes under this sowing date. In addition, application of vermicompost increased all traits under study. The result olso indicated that FJL290 and BAL102 lines can produce the highest seed and oil yields in the region, if the seeds were sown at 17 October 17th and application of 20 t.ha-1 of vermicompost.

        The present research was done to evaluate the response of seed and oil yields and its components of some rapeseed genotypes at saline areas of Tabriz plain and to select promising lines. The experiment was carried out at the Khosroshah Station of East Azarbaijan Agriculture and Natural Resources Research and Education Center with saline soil (EC of soil and water were 6.7 and 3.2 dS m-1 respectively), during cropping season of 2017-18. The experiment was conducted as randomized complete blocks design with 38 rapeseed genotypes and three replications. Among the genotypes under study significant differences were observed in plant height, seed yield and its components, oil percent, seed and oil yields. The results indicated that WRL-96-01 produced highest silique number per plant (123), seed number per silique (30.3), 1000 seeds weight (3.4 g), seed (3268 kg.ha-1) and oil (1526 kg.ha-1) yields respectively. Comnly used varieties in the area like Okapi and Nima produced lower seed and oil yields under this experiment conditions. Significant and positive correlations were seen among the seed yield and its components, oil yields and also between oil yield with oil percent and seed yield. These results indicate that genotyps under study produced proper seed and oil yields under saline condition. By cluster analysis with ward method, 20 genotypes with higher seed and oil yields, located in one group as promising lines. It seems that these genotypes could be used for future evaluation in saline areas of Tabriz plain and areas with similar climate. Manuscript profile

        Planting date plays a significant role in determining soybean growth, development and seed yield. The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the effect of planting dates and genotypes on yield and yield components in north of Iran. In order to determine the best sowing date in two soybean cultivars, an experiment was done in Ramhormoz Agricultural Research Farm in split plots on the basis of randomized complete blocks design with three repetitions in 2017. Treatments includes three planting dates 1 August, 16 August, 1 September were placed in the main plots and two soybean varieties including 504 and Saland in subplots. Results showed that planting date had significant effect on plant height, number of pod per plant, number of seed per pod, number of seed per plant, number of plant per square meter, harvest index and seed protein percent. The effect of cultivar was significant on plant height, number of seed per pod, number of plant per square meter, total dry weight, biological yield and grain yield. Seed protein percentage was affected by planting date and in the third planting date its reduction was significant. Thousand-grain weight had significant positive correlation with grain protein percentage at 1% probability level, which indicates that with increasing grain weight, more protein is stored in the grain. In general, it is possible to recommend Saland cultivar for sowing date in 16 August and 504 for sowing date in 1 August and 1 September. Manuscript profile

Nitrogen fertilizer rates exhibited a significant effect on the plant height, number of branches, number of capsules per plant, capsule length, number of seeds in capsule, 1000 seed weight, seed yield, seed oil and protein percent. Quantitative and qualitative studies showed that albumin and globulin proteins 15 percent decreased and 53 percent increased respectively under nitrogen treatment. Total of two proteins increased by 60 Kg/ha of nitrogen fertilizer consumption in comparison to the control. There is no significant difference between 40 and 60 Kg/ha of nitrogen concentrations in agronomic characteristics. Densitometry analysis showed that albumin protein was minor and globulin protein was the most and the main protein of seed storage total proteins. Generally, the results indicated that a Nas variety of sesame under 40 kg/ha of nitrogen treatment was better in comparison to the control specimen in Agronomic characteristics. In addition, seed oil and seed storage proteins percent enhanced quantitatively and qualitatively under this treatment. Manuscript profile

             This experiment was done to study the effect of sowing date on grain and oil yield, yield components and some characteristics of 6 rapeseed genotypes. It conducted as a factorial on the basis of RCBD with three replications in research field of seed and plant improvement institute during 2005-2007. Sowing dates factor were selected in 3 levels include of 6th September, 16th September and 6th October and cultivars factor were Talaye, SLM046, Okapi, Orient, Licord and Zarfam. The result showed that the sowing date and cultivar effects were significant on all criteria exception the seed numbers in silique and, plant height and biological yield, respectively. Two sowing dates were superior to third sowing date in the point of grain and oil seed yield, harvest index and biological yield. Among yield components, seed numbers in silique and silique numbers in plant were higher in the second sowing date and 1000 seed weight was greater in the first sowing date. Cultivars yield didn’t have significant differences because every one of them was superior to other in the point of one of the yield component. But the oil percentage difference among cultivars caused to create significant differences in the point of oil seed yield among them. Manuscript profile

        Fatty liver is a common metabolic disorder affecting millions of people all over the world. Due to the side effects of most of the chemical drugs used to treat this disease, this study has been performed aiming to investigate the effect of flaxseed and N. sativa oils on serum levels of liver enzymes and some of the inflammatory factors in in male rats affected by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this experimental study, 40 mature male rats were randomly assigned to 5 groups (8 rats in each group) include the control group (receiving no treatment), fatty liver (treated by fat emulsion), and the experimenta groups under 6-weeks by fat emulsion, and 28-day treatments by 0.75 ml/kg of flaxseed oil, 5 ml/kg of N. sativa oil, and the combined treatmnet of 0.75+ 5 ml/kg of flaxseed and N. sativa oils, respectively. At the end, after blood sampling and separation of the surface serum of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), BUN (blood urea nitrogen), creatinine, total protein, and interleukin 6 were measured.  Data analysis was done by ANOVA and Tukey tests. The results showed that iduction of fatty liver caused significant increase of interleukin-6, total protein, blood urea nitrogen, ALP, ALT, AST enzymes, and creatinine compared to the control group (P˂0.01); while the use of flaxseed and N. Sativa oils alone and their combination caused a significant decrease in the level of the above mentioend (P˂0.01). factors The results showed that N. sativa and flaxseed oils and their combination can decrease the inflammatory serum factors and liver damage caused by fatty liver disorder.

        Twenty-one male Sanjabi lambs (body weight (BW)=27.5±2.6 kg, 3-month-old), were used to study the effects of diet supplementation with pomegranate seed oil (PSO) on the performance, carcass and meat quality, and fatty acid composition of muscle and subcutaneous fat. Lambs were randomly distributed be-tween three treatments (0, 2, and 4% of dry matter (DM) pomegranate seed oil) and were fed for 90 days before slaughter. Average daily feed intake (g/d) increased by pomegranate seed oil inclusion in diet (P<0.05). Hot carcass weight (HCW) and cold carcass weight (CCW), weight of fat depots, subcutaneous fat depth, longissimus thoracis area and weight of carcass cuts, were not affected by pomegranate seed oil. Colour lightness (L*) index and fat content of longissimus thoracis muscle increased by 4% pomegranate seed oil supplementation (P<0.05); however, moisture, protein and ash content of muscle did not affect. Addition of pomegranate seed oil to lamb’s diet slightly affected fatty acid profile of longissimus thoracis muscle and couldn’t change the total amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and the n-6/n-3 or polyunsaturated fatty acids/saturated fatty acids (SFA) ratios. Pomegranate seed oil supplementation sig-nificantly increased total polyunsaturated fatty acids n-3 and n-6 content and significantly decreased n-6/n-3 ratio in subcutaneous fat (P<0.05). In conclusion, the results obtained in current study suggest that addition of up to 4% pomegranate seed oil to fattening lambs diet have potential to increase some polyunsaturated fatty acids content and decrease n-6/n-3 ratio of carcass deposited fats without negative impact on fattening performance, carcass traits, and colour stability of meat.

        Effects of the planting arrangement on the yield, its components. seed oil percentage and certain agricultural properties of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were studied in Gogan (located in east Azarbayjan) during 1381-82. The space between rows were 15, 30, 60 centimeters and the distances between the plants were 5, 10, 15 centimeters and Genotypes involved IL111, Kj818 and Arak-2811. The experiment was done based on factorial based randomized block design in 3 replications. During the experiment; different properties were studied including plant height, numbers of branchs of a plant, number of bolls, number of seeds in a boll, seed yield, harvest index, thousand seed weight and seed oil percent. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes in number of the seeds in capitulum, number of capitula in a plant, thousand seed weight, plant height and seed yield. At the same time, planting arrangement had significat effect on number of capitulum in a plant, number of seed in a capitulum and seed yield. The 15 cm resulted in the highest yield. It can be said that the Arak-2811 with 4.34 tons seed yield/ha was the best. It seems that, development of safflower is of great value specially in medium and poor soils of Ourmieh Lake edges (e.g. Gogan) to obtain an acceptable production. Manuscript profile
