  • The Effect of Linseed Oil on the Properties of Lime-Based Restoration Mortars
    Allma Mater Studiiorum – Uniiversiità dii Bollogna DOTTORATO DI RICERCA Science for Conservation Ciclo XXII Settore/i scientifico disciplinari di afferenza: CHIM/12 TITOLO TESI THE EFFECT OF LINSEED OIL ON THE PROPERTIES OF LIME-BASED RESTORATION MORTARS Presentata da: Eva Čechová Coordinatore Dottorato Relatore Prof. Rocco Mazzeo Prof. Ioanna Papayianni Esame finale anno 2009 Abstract THE EFFECT OF LINSEED OIL ON THE PROPERTIES OF LIME-BASED RESTORATION MORTARS The traditional lime mortar is composed of hydrated lime, sand and water. Besides these constituents it may also contain additives aiming to modify fresh mortar´s properties and/or to improve hardened mortar´s strength and durability. Already in the first civilizations various additives were used to enhance mortar´s quality, among the organic additives, linseed oil was one of the most common. From literature we know that it was used already in Roman period to reduce water permeability of a mortar, but the mechanism and the technology, e.g. effects of different dosages, are not clearly explained. There are only few works studying the effect of oil experimentally. Knowing the function of oil in historical mortars is important for designing a new compatible repair mortar. Moreover, linseed oil addition could increase the sometimes insufficient durability of lime-based mortars used for reparation and it could be a natural alternative to synthetic additives. In the present study, the effect of linseed oil on the properties of six various lime- based mortars has been studied. Mortars´ compositions have been selected with respect to composition of historical mortars, but also mortars used in a modern restoration practise have been tested.

Wassef, Shaymaa H. Shalaby and Norhan E. Saleh Fish Nutrition Laboratory, Aquaculture Department, National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF), Qaiyet-Bey St., Anfoushy, Alexandria, Egypt Received 22 September 2014 – Accepted 9 December 2014 Abstract – A feeding trial was conducted to define the optimal mixtures of either sunflower oil (SFO) or linseed oil (LO) with fish oil (FO), in fish meal (FM) based diets for gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) fingerling, without significant effect on fish performance, fatty acid composition and liver structure. The trial lasted nine weeks with 420 fish (∼4.0 g) testing seven isonitrogenous (∼48% CP) and isolipidic (∼18% L) diets contained three incremental inclusions of either SFO or LO (40, 48, 56 g kg−1) and the only-fish oil control (CTRL) diet. Results showed that the combination of 32 g fish oil plus 48 g of either SFO or LO kg−1 diet as the lipid source had performed the best among all. Fatty acid (FA) composition of muscle lipids evidenced that specific fatty acids were selectively retained or utilized. Diet induced- changes in hepatic morphology with vegetable oil inclusion level were further described. Linolenic acid (α-LNA, n-3) had led to less pronounced steatosis symptoms than linoleic acid (LOA, n-6) in liver cells.

LIST OF PAPERS This thesis is a summary of the following papers: 1 “A study of the drying of linseed oils with different fatty acid patterns using RTIR-spectroscopy and Chemiluminescence (CL)” Accepted in Industrial Crops and Products (2004) 2 “Drying of linseed oil wood coatings using reactive diluents” To be submitted to Surface Coatings International Part B: Coatings Transactions (2004) ABSTRACT The interest in renewable resources due to environmental factors has increased the interest to use new VOC-free linseed oil qualities together with reactive diluents for coating applications. The drying of two linseed oils, Oil A with a high content (74,2 %) of linoleic acid (C18:2) and oil B, a more traditional linseed oil with a high amount (55,2-60,4 %) of linolenic acid (C18:3), was followed in order to reveal how the structural variations of the oils fatty acid pattern and the addition of the fatty acid methyl ester of oil A as a reactive diluent (0, 20 40 wt%) can change the drying performances of the oils and their final film properties. The influence of the drying temperature and the influence of driers was investigated. The drying performance of the different oil formulations applied on pinewood substrates was briefly investigated. Two different analytical techniques, chemiluminescence (CL), and real-time infrared spectroscopy, (RTIR), were shown to be versatile tools for the analysis of the drying process.

  • Food Scientist's Guide to Fats and Oils For
    FOOD SCIENTIST’S GUIDE TO FATS AND OILS FOR MARGARINE AND SPREADS DEVELOPMENT by KATHLEEN M. MORLOK B.S., University of Minnesota, 2005 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Food Science KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Kelly J.K. Getty Animal Sciences & Industry Abstract Fats and oils are an important topic in the margarine and spreads industry. The selection of these ingredients can be based on many factors including flavor, functionality, cost, and health aspects. In general, fat is an important component of a healthy diet. Fat or oil provides nine calories per gram of energy, transports essential vitamins, and is necessary in cellular structure. Major shifts in consumption of fats and oils through history have been driven by consumer demand. An example is the decline in animal fat consumption due to consumers’ concern over saturated fats. Also, consumers’ concern over the obesity epidemic and coronary heart disease has driven demand for new, lower calorie, nutrient-rich spreads products. Fats and oils can be separated into many different subgroups. “Fats” generally refer to lipids that are solid at room temperature while “oils” refer to those that are liquid. Fatty acids can be either saturated or unsaturated. If they are unsaturated, they can be either mono-, di-, or poly-unsaturated. Also, unsaturated bonds can be in the cis or trans conformation. A triglyceride, which is three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol backbone, can have any combination of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Triglycerides are the primary components of animal and vegetable fats and oils.

S. (Med. Tech.) Denton, Texas August, 1996 A81 flo, 730/ THE REMOVAL OF LINSEED OIL VAPORS BY BIODEGRADATION THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas Fullfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Patamaporn Sukplang B. S. (Med. Tech.) Denton, Texas August, 1996 Sukplang, Patamaporn, The removal of linseed oil vapors bv biodegradation. Master of Science (Biology), August, 1996, 108 pp., 7 tables, 33 illustrations, references, 50 titles. Linseed oil is very important in industry but its use is limited due to noxious vapors produced by oxidation on exposure to air. Since some of the products are toxic, release of linseed oil vapors to the environment is normally prohibited. In order to remove the odorous compounds, a biofilter system based on bacterial metabolism was designed and the major premises of bioremediation were studied. A total of five bacterial strains capable of using linseed oil vapors as their sources of carbon and energy were isolated from soil. The individual organisms were also mixed to form a bacterial consortium. The mixed population was able to degrade linseed oil vapors with more than 99 per cent efficiency. According to this research, a successful biodegradation system was designed and, theoretically, this system could be applied to the removal of linseed oil vapors in any industrial plant air stream.

  • Utrecht Art Supplies “Bodied” Oils for Painting
    Utrecht Art Supplies “Bodied” Oils for Painting Stand Oil and Sun Thickened Linseed Oil are the main "bodied" oils used in modern painting. Stand and Sun-thickened Oil have a different chemistry, though they share some similar properties. Both are thickened vegetable oil products made of linseed oil, and both are used in painting mediums. (Other oils like poppyseed can be thickened too.) The main differences are how processing alters chemical makeup of the oil, and how the resulting physical properties influence handling, drying and aging of the paint film. Stand Oil is polymerized by heat in a low- oxygen environment, causing cross-linking in carbon double bonds without oxidation. This gives Stand Oil its characteristic "long" body and syrupy consistency. Stand Oil does not undergo partial oxidation or "drying", and as a result Portrait by Rubens, a Baroque period artist known to have retains a lighter color and dries relatively slowly, used sun-thickened oils in painting producing a tough, flexible film.
