Abstract

The alpha-tocopherol concentration was determined in cooking vegetable oils. The lowest concentration of alpha-tocopherol was found in coconut oil. Soybean oil, peanut oil and rice bran oil showed similar ranges of alpha-tocopherol concentration. A high concentration of alpha-tocopherol was found in palm oil and in corn oil. The combination of single vegetables oils affected the alpha-tocopherol concentration as shown in the samples of mixed oils. The ratio of alpha-tocopherol to polyunsaturated fatty acids has been calculated.

Characterization of sulfate-reducing bacteria isolated from oil-field waters.

The occurrence and metabolic capacities of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were studied in 23 water samples taken from producing wells at 14 different sites. Oil fields in France, the North Sea, and the Gulf of Guinea were selected and classified according to physicochemical parameters (salinity ranging from 0.3 to 120 g.L-1 and temperature between 29 and 85 degrees C). After the distribution of SRB within oil fields was studied, several strains of SRB were isolated and characterized metabolically. Twenty of the thirty-seven strains were not related to any known species. Most of the identified strains were members of the genera Desulfovibrio and Desulfotomaculum by molecular, morphological, and physiological properties.

Mobility of polychlorinated aromatic compounds in soils contaminated with wood-preserving oil.

Greater understanding of the mobility of polychlorinated aromatic compounds in soils is needed to investigate contamination and design suitable remediation strategies for sites contaminated with wood-preserving oil. The objectives of this study were (1) to develop a suitable aqueous batch extraction method for soil containing wood-preservative residues; (2) to determine partition coefficients for the primary contaminants [pentachlorophenol (PCP), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFS)] in oil, soil, and aqueous phases; and (3) to evaluate the potential soil migration of the primary contaminants. In a three-phase oil-soil-water mixture, PCP, PCDDs, and PCDFs were partitioned to the greatest extent in the oil phase. These results suggest that the migration of contaminants can occur in a saturated subsurface soil zone containing an oil phase at a wood-preserving site. In the absence of a free oil phase, PCDDs and PCDFs were highly partitioned onto soil and were considered non-leachable in the aqueous phase. However, PCP was considered highly leachable from contaminated soil containing only an aqueous liquid phase. Results from this study indicate that removal of any free oil phase present in subsurface soil should have highest priority during the cleanup of contaminated wood-preserving sites.
