No information was found on the placental transfer and distribution of phenol, however, Ghantous and Danielsson (1986) examined this question for benzene, the principal metabolite of which is phenol. Mice at gestation day 11, 14, and 17, were exposed by inhalation to 14C benzene and the distribution of benzene and its volatile and non-volatile metabolites examined using whole body autoradiaography and assessment of tissue concentrations of 14C (day 17 only). The authors indicated that the exposure regimen (50 Ci of 14C benzene in maize oil, volatilized by gentle heating) would theoretically produce 2,000 ppm in the inhalation chamber. Measurements of the difference between the amount added to the... 

Semidrying oils arc intermediate in nature. The principal semidrying oils are cotton-seed oil. Soyabean oil, corn or maize oil and sesame oil, The loiter is obtained from the seeds of Sesamun indicutn. a member of the Pedaiiaceue. cultivated in India, China and Japan, where the oil is much used as a loud oil and for cooking. 

High vitamin E content (50-300 milligrams/]00 grams). Corn (maize) oil, cottonseed oil, margarine, safflower oil, soybean oil, wheat germ oil. 

A fast, sensitive, and convenient method for the determination of TBHQ in maize oils was described in which a sample was injected without any treatment (115). The sample was injected directly on a 25 X 0.4-cm-ID column packed with Lichrosorb SI 60. The mobile phase was a mixture of dioxane and n-hexane, and the eluent was directed to a fluorescence detector that operated at a 309-nm excitation wavelength and a 340-nm emission wavelength. A recovery of 98.5% was obtained, with a coefficient of 2.4% when the detection limit of 6 ng was reached the average analysis time per sample was 5 min.

The chemical identification of one active substance was eventually achieved by Kogl and his associates in Holland in the early 1930s. A major source of starting material was, surprisingly, human urine, but by then it was already known that the sources of a substance active in the Avena assay were not restricted to higher plants. Fungal cultures (Aspergillus) and urine (like the saliva recorded by Seubert in 1925), were all rich in activity, as were maize oil, malt and yeast. The substance... 

The commonly available source of stable vitamin E used in animal feed is synthetic DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. An alternative form of stable vitamin E is D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, which is derived from plant oils (such as soybean, sunflower and maize oil). This form has a relative biopotency of more than 136% in comparison with DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. The potency of the fat-soluble vitamins is expressed in terms of international units (IUs).

Unlike most other vegetable oils that are obtained directly from seeds that contain high levels of oil, corn oil (maize oil) is obtained from seeds (kernels) that contain only 3-5% oil. Obtaining oil directly from the kernels is technically... 

Physicochemical properties of maize oil are summarized in Table 10. Specific gravity of maize oil varies between 0.917 and 0.925 at ambient temperature (20°C/20°C). Unsaponifiable content of com oil is lower (1-3%) than that of the WGO.
