Abstract:

Since the dawn of agriculture man has been genetically modifying crop plants to increase yield, quality and utility. In addition to selective breeding and hybridization we can utilize mutant populations and biotechnology to have greater control over crop plant modification than ever before. Increasing the production of plant oils such as soybean oil as a renewable resource for food and fuel is valuable. Successful breeding for higher oil levels in soybean, however, usually results in reduced protein, a second valuable seed component. We show that by manipulating a highly active acyl-CoA: diacy

Previous research has shown that microsomal DGAT activity from cultures of Brassica napus was stimulated by human acylation stimulating protein (ASP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Genetic constructs were engineered to facilitate the expression of ASP or BSA in developing seeds to test the stimulatory effect of these proteins at the site of TAG formation. As well, genetic constructs were designed to produce a truncation of the BSA polypeptide in an attempt to localize the portion fo the macromolecule responsible for stimulation of DGAT activity.

Abstract:

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are stored in variable amounts (1-90 % by dry weight) in seed and non-seed tissues of various plant species. To gain insights into tissue- and species-specific regulation and biosynthesis of TAG in plants, we used 454 pyro and Illumina sequencing and generated transcriptome for eight species (brassica, castor, nasturtium, euonymus, oil palm, date palm, and avocado). In all tissues analyzed, an increased expression was noted for genes mostly associated with fatty acid biosynthesis in plastid, but much less increase in those for TAG assembly in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract Moisture content control is a very effective way of protecting timber. Treatments with environment-friendly, biodegradable tall oil are known to reduce the capillary water uptake of pine sapwood greatly, but despite the good results achieved there have been two problems that limit the use of tall oil for wood protection, the large amount of oil needed and the tendency for the oil to exude from the wood.

Fouling in the pre-heat train of crude oil distillation unit is a normal occurrence in oil refineries. With the increasing trend of heavy crude oil processing, blending of oils becomes a norm practice in a refinery. Fouling could be enhanced if incompatible oils were blended together. Also, heavy oils typically contain high trace metals composition and their effect towards fouling is yet to be explored. This study has been looking into the effect of changes in the original composition and inter-molecular stability of crude oils towards fouling. A batch system was designed and developed to prod

Abstract:

Four experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of glucosinolates, the level and type of dietary fat and -tocopherol acetate (ATA) supplementation on broiler performance, fatty acid composition, oxidative stability of tissues and immunological changes in the caecal crypts and bone marrow cells. In Experiment 1, 270 chicks were fed diets containing either whole full-fat rape seed (FFR) with a glucosinolate content of 14.4 mmol/kg or marine oil (MO) calculated to provide 40 and 120 g fat/kg diet. At each level of fat in the diet ATA was supplied at 20 and 300 mg/kg diet. Data presen

Abstract:

The potential use of waste stream essential oils were evaluated as fuel supplements for diesel vehicle/machinery used by producers of these oils. Orange, eucalyptus and tea tree oils were selected; which are native to and/or extensively cultivated throughout Australia. These essential oils are mainly used in the medical and natural therapy sector as well as fragrance and flavouring industry. The high quality of the final product leads to a significant very low value waste stream. Engine performance and emissions evaluation showed that essential oils are comparable to diesel fuel. Their use wil
