Neutralization of Soybean Oil Deodorizer Distillate for Vitamin Supplement Production by Cibelem Iribarrem Benites, Bruno Colling Klein, Soely Maria Pissini Machado Reis

“…Soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SODD), a byproduct of the soybean oil refining process, is a complex mixture of compounds, such as free fatty acids (FFA), hydrocarbons, and sterols, such as tocopherols, a class of major natural antioxidants with vitamin E activity. As the utilization of SODD for tocopherol extraction is shown to be not economically viable, SODD in the semirefined form (neutral) is an interesting alternative to animal and possibly human diet enrichment. …”

Force de la pudeur by Suzanne Fraysse

“…Other slave narratives are then examined to show how the slave narrators’ reticence does not simply stem from their desire to live up to the prudish expectations of their readers but constitutes a rhetorical strategy aiming at opposing fugitive slaves abiding by conservative moral values to slaveholders whose profligacy blurs the conventional boundaries between males and females, Blacks and Whites, animals and human beings. As a result, try as they may to challenge the scale of values associated with these stereotypes, slave narrators get trapped in a conservative system of polarities that define them as inferior. …”
