However, the full medicinal potential of many seed oil plants is yet to be properly reviewed, particularly for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. North-East India has rich resources of seed oil plants. The availability of detailed information on these plants is quite limited. This review aims to explore and evaluate these seed oil plants of the North-East India with particular emphasis on their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities as well as chemical compositions. A comprehensive literature search on seed oil plants of this region has been performed. Seed oil yielding plants of this region can be categorized into two categories: plants that are used traditionally as sources of edible or medicinal oils and plants that are used for purposes other than as sources of oils. Many seed oil plants of this region have been reported to possess antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and to produce various types of compounds. This review also highlights the importance of these plants in contributing to the local as well as the national economy of India. Keywords antioxidant, antimicrobial, seed oil, chemical composition, North-East India, epidemiological study INTRODUCTION significant in view of maintaining food quality and preventing many physiological problems such as oxidative stress related The beneficial uses of seed oil plants have been known since complications, liver cirrhosis, and cancer. Food deterioration time immemorial. Apart from their uses as food items, oils may occur due to the presence of oxidation-prone ingredients in extracted from seeds are also used for different purposes food items (Shukla et al., 1997). One of the current approaches ranging from medicinal to biofuels. Their chemical to prevent this oxidative degradation is addition of natural compositions, physical and chemical properties generally antioxidants in food items. It is also believed that natural determine their applications for different purposes. antioxidants can stabilize or deactivate the free-radicals. In Many microbial diseases worldwide have become a serious living cells, free-radicals may incorporate highly reactive threat to human health because of the emergence of drug- oxygen and attack healthy cells through a range of biochemical resistant or multi-drug resistant (MDR) microbial strains reactions (Aluyor and Ori-Jesu, 2008). These free-radical (Tabassum et al., 2013). Emergence of resistance to the existing initiated reactions may subsequently lead to cancer initiation drugs (Rio s and Recio, 2005) led the scientists to search for the and accelerated ageing process. Plant seed oils are reported to new alternatives including seed oil producing plants and their possess antioxidant properties that can prevent oxidative stress. oil (Aktar et al., 2014), which are known for their antimicrobial The antioxidant property of seed oil is generally attributed to properties. Several in vitro studies have been published the presence of triglycerides and various natural antioxidant confirming the effect of seed oils and their major compounds components in them. Formerly, very little or no attention was on pathogenic microbes (Burt, 2004). However, there are only given to seed oil producing plants as a source of antioxidants limited data available on the antifungal activity of these seed (Schmidt et al., 2005). However, in recent years, renewed focus oils against fungal pathogens. on seed oils as sources of novel antimicrobial and antioxidant Determination of antioxidant properties of seed oils is also compounds has been observed (Jarret et al., 2011). The region of North-East India is endowed with two biodiversity hotspots of Indo-Burma and Eastern Himalayas. *Correspondence: Das Talukdar Anupam E-mail: [email protected] This region consists of eight states of India-Arunachal Pradesh, Received May 8, 2015; Accepted August 17, 2015; Published Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and August 31, 2015 Tripura.

  • Quality Evaluation of Blended Rice Bran and Mustard
    J Krishi Vigyan 2013, 2(1) : 45-51 Quality Evaluation of Blended Rice bran and Mustard oil Monika Choudhary* and Kiran Grover Department of Food and Nutrition Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana –141 004 (Punjab) ABSTRACT Rice bran oil (RBO) is nutritionally superior non-conventional vegetable oil and mustard oil (MO) is traditional oil widely used in domestic cooking in rural India. So, the present study was designed to develop a healthier and stable blend of RBO and MO. Therefore, RBO was blended with MO in two ratios i.e. 80:20 and 70:30. These blends were analyzed for fatty acid composition, physiochemical properties, oxidative stability, and antioxidant activity. Consequently, RBO+MO in the ratio of 80:20 contained 16.9 percent SFA, 32.9 percent MUFA and 50.8 percent PUFA whereas the percentage of SFA, MUFA and PUFA present in RBO+MO (70:30) was 15.2, 25.6 and 59.2 respectively. RBO+MO in the ratio of 70:30 showed adequate smoke point (188°C), frying temperature (180°C) and had low acid value (0.28 mg KOH/g) and saponification value (224.0 mg KOH/g) as well as a low percentage of free fatty acids (0.14%). In terms of oxidative stability and antioxidant activity, RBO+MO (70:30) showed least percent increase (33.9 %) in peroxide formation after 28 days of incubation period and also had highest radical scavenging activity (57.5 %) whereas the highest content of total natural antioxidants (2291.3 mg/kg) was present in RBO+MO (80:20). A significant (pd”0.05) difference was found in all the quality parameters of vegetable oils and it was concluded that RBO+MO in the ratio of 70:30 was an ideal blend in terms of overall quality parameters.

  • Cooking Oil Facts
    Cooking Oil Facts As you enter a department store, you behold an array of cooking oils sporting all types of jargon on the packaging -- saturated fats, unsaturated fats, refined, filtered, ricebran oil, vanaspati, etc. Confused already? With so much variety and so many brands flooding the market today, buying the right cooking oil can prove a tough task. Different oils fill different needs - for health, taste and cooking. For good health, our bodies need a variety of healthy fats that are found naturally in different oils. When cooking, it's essential to know which oils are best for baking, sautéing and frying and which are healthiest used raw. Why have Oil (fats)? Contrary to popular belief, fat is actually a valuable part of one's diet, allowing people to absorb nutrients that require fat in order to metabolize in the body. Natural fats contain varying ratios of three types of fats: saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. • Saturated fats are hard at room temperature. They're stable, resist oxidation, and are found primarily in meat, dairy, palm and coconut oil. • Polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and the least stable. They oxidize easily and are found in seafood corn, safflower, soybean, and sunflower oils. • Monounsaturated fats are more stable than polyunsaturated fats. They're found in canola, nut and olive oils. It is recommended to limit saturated fats in the diet due to their association with cardiovascular disease. Also, you should try to rely more on monounsaturated than polyunsaturated fats. What are the varieties of Oil available in the market? Choosing which oil should be used in cooking is a big issue and concern for many people because of the fat and cholesterol contents of cooking oil.

  • Nutraceutical Profile of Selected Oils, Distillates and Butters
    Asian J. Exp. Sci., Vol. 28, No. 2, 2014; 37-41 Nutraceutical Profile Of Selected Oils, Distillates And Butters RIPAL R. KHAMAR & Y. T. JASRAI Department of Botany, University School of Sciences, Gujarat University, Ahmedabad - 380009, Gujarat, India E-mail: [email protected] Abstract : The mixed tocopherol , phytosterol and sqalene were estimated in the oils and their deodorized distillate (remove of flavor) available in the India market and to know about the nutraceuticals value in respect with tocopherol (vitamin E), Phytosterol and squalene.The oils taken in the investigation were Amaranth oil, Avocado oil, Cashew nut shell oil, Castor oil, Coconut oil, Corn/Maize oil, Cottonseed oil, Cumin oil, Fish oil, Groundnut oil, Linseed oil, Mustard oil, Neem oil, Olive oil, Palm oil, Pomegranate seed oil, Psyllium seed oil, Rice bran oil, Safflower oil, Sesame oil, Soybean oil, Sunflower oil and Wheat germ oil. Avacado oil contains highest quantity of mixed tocopherol while the lowest % is found in coconut, cumin, flaxed seed , neem and pomegranate oils. Phytosterol was highest in Pumpkin seed oil and lowest in Sesame seed oil. Sqalene (precursor to cholesterol) was highest in Amaranth seed oil and Mango butter oils and lowest in Shea butter. In deodorised distillate, phytosterol was highest in Soya bean oil but lowest in Olive oil. However, Sqalene was highest in distillate of Olive oil and lowest in distillate of Groundnut oil.Punicic acid (polysaturated fatty acid) and sesamin (a lignin) were present in Palm oil, Pomegranate seed oil and Sesame oil raw and in distillates. KEYWORDS: Edible oil, Distillate, Butter, Nutraceutical profile, Tocopherol, Vitamin E INTRODUCTION: The present study has been deodorization (to remove off flavors), often abbreviated as undertaken to know the nutritional value of fatty acids in RBD.
