Summary: Camelina lecithin was obtained by water and enzymatic degumming. The major phospholipid in camelina lecithin was phosphatidylinositol. Enzyme-degummed camelina lecithin contained more lysophospholipids. Enzyme-degummed camelina lecithin generated more stable emulsions. Results showed that camelina seed lecithin is a promising alternative PI-rich emulsifier for various food applications. Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308814617314176

Rheological property of camelina gum isolated from camelina seeds – N. Li, G. Qi, X.S. Sun, and D. Wang – Industrial Crops and Products 2016 Summary: Camelina gum (CG) was characterized on the physicochemical properties including rheological properties, chemical compositions, morphological property, and thermal properties. The results showed that dried CG has porous structure and polysaccharides and protein content of ...

Effects of glycerol and nanoclay on physiochemical properties of camelina gum-based films – Qi G, Li N, Sun XS, Shi YC, Wang D. – Journal of Carbohydrate Polymers  Summary: Film-forming properties of camelina gum (CG) were evaluated, including film appearance and morphological, mechanical, water/light barrier, and thermal properties. With 4% nanoclay, tensile strength of film increased from 43.2MPa to 54.6MPa ...

Summary: Out on the next frontier of nutritional research will be the complete biochemical and physiological characterization of plant-derived components that prevent or delay the development of chronic diseases in humans and animals. Camelina sativa … seeds contain up to 45% oil, which is rich in polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-2 fatty acids, as well as containing fat-soluble antioxidants such as ...

Summary: These findings suggest that defatted camelina seed meal should be evaluated for anticancer activity, similar to broccoli and other Brassicaceae family members. Link: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf501742h

The antioxidant activities of Camelina sativa methanolic extracts were evaluated by different chemical assays: reducing power, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the b-carotene bleaching method and the metal chelating activity assay. Results revealed that besides the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity, seeds and cake also possess a similar phenolic profile. In addition to sinapine and 4-vinyl derivatives, other antioxidants were successfully ...
