HEALTH PROMOTING CONSTITUENTS IN PLANT DERIVED EDIBLE OILS
摘要:
ABSTRACTOf all the edible oils, only that produced from olives has had its health attributes studied in detail. For maximum nutritional benefit, an edible oil should contain minimal levels of saturated fats, especially lauric and myristic acids and minimal levels of trans fatty acids. If the oils are not to be heated repeatedly and if they contain high levels of antioxidants, they should contain omega‐3 and possibly omega‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acid profile should be dominated by monounsaturated fatty acids. Secondary products which act as antioxidants including polyphenols, proanthocyanidins, tocopherols and carotenoids increase the shelf‐life of oils, reportedly reduce cardiovascular disease and provide some anticarcinogenic properties. More research is also required, but there is evidence that phytosterols and squalene are also beneficial components of edible oils. Selection and breeding can be used to increase the desirable components of edible oils. Geographic, culture and environmental factors can influence the properties of the oil produced by crops, and methods of processing can greatly reduce the levels of health promoting components. Despite the current anti‐GMO sentiments, biotechnology should be used both in the development of plant cultivars which produce nutritional oils and in processing to maximize the desirable components.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 3-[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid, which comprises the step of reacting 3-chloro-2-methyl-2-hydroxypropionic acid with a salt of 4-fluorophenylsulfinic acid, and the use of (+/-)- and (-)-3-[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid and (+)-3-chloro-2-methyl-2-hydroxypropionic acid in the preparation of bicalutamide.

solid dimer product from the reaction of dinitrogentrioxide and 2-methylpropene was converted to the corresponding oxime by heating with or without a solvent for ca. 2 days. This establishes the orientation of the dinitrogentrioxide addition product as the 1-nitroso- rather than the 2-nitroso-compound as previously thought. A number of other alkene–dinitrogen trioxide adducts have been prepared; most
