Rancimat Method Used to Investigate Antioxidant and Antitumor Activities of Alkyl Caffeates in Edible Oils
In a recent research study, Wang et al. investigated the antioxidant activity, antitumor property, and oxidation stability of edible oil with added alkyl caffeates. In order to evaluate the induction period of different edible oils (canola oil, peanut oil, and silkworm pupae oil), a Metrohm 743 Rancimat was used (read more about the latest Rancimat instrument here). Results of the study ...

The Role of LEDS in Speed Breeding
Some of the most important crops for feeding the ever-increasing global population include wheat and barley. In order to meet the future demand, scientists have a task of finding ways to improve efficiencies in breeding these and other, similar plant species. Typically, more than 10 years are needed to develop novel cultivars with an advanced agronomic performance. On one hand it is because ...
