Determination of Trans-Fatty Acid Levels in Selected Syrian Food Products by Radwan Badr Al-Deen, Bassam Al-Oklah, Mohamad Alshehabi, Tahani Al-idee

“…The Soxhlet method was used to extract the lipids from the samples (except oils), then the methyl esters of fatty acids (FAME) were prepared and the concentration of fatty acids (g/100g) was determined using gas chromatography (GC) equipped with a Split/Splitless injector and a flame ionization detector (FID). The results revealed that the levels of Trans fatty acids (TFAs) ranged in all samples from 0.04 to 1.82 g/100g, with high amounts (4.78%) found in one sample of cow’s ghee, two samples of palm oil, and one sample of soybean oil. …”

Lysine Reacts with Cholesterol Hydroperoxide to Form Secosterol Aldehydes and Lysine-Secosterol Aldehyde Adducts by George Wafula Wanjala, Arnold Nola Onyango, David Rasugu Abuga, John Kamathi Muchuna, Calvin Onyango, Moses Makayoto

“…Here, we subjected cholesterol to photosensitized oxidation, which predominantly produces Ch-5α-OOH and minor amounts of the 6α- and 6β-hydroperoxides, exposed the hydroperoxide mixture to lysine in the presence of the antioxidant 2,6-ditertiary-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT), and analysed the reaction mixture by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Consistent with the postulated lysine-catalysed formation of secosterol aldehydes, we detected formation of the latter and several types of their lysine adducts, including carbinolamines, Schiff’s bases, and amide-type adducts. …”
