The immunomodulatory potential of fragments derived from the cow's milk allergen bovine beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) was assessed in a mouse model of oral tolerance (OT) [Adel-Patient, K; Wavrin, S.; Bernard, H.; Meziti, N.;...
The interaction of indigo carmine (IC) with calf thymus DNA in physiological buffer (pH 7.4), using ethidium bromide (EB) dye as a fluorescence probe, was investigated by ultraviolet visible absorption, fluorescence, and...
Certain isoflavones are plant growth inhibitors, and biochanin A is a major isoflavone in clover species used for weed management. The effect of biochanin A on the monocot weed species Echinochloa crus-galli L. and Loliu...
Plant interactions with microbial biocontrol agents are used as experimental models to understand resistance-related molecular adaptations of plants. In a hydroponic three-way interaction study, a novel Trichoderma harzi...
Seed oils recovered from Rosaceae species such as dessert and cider apples (Malus domestica Borkh.), quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.), and rose hip (Rosa canina L.) were analyzed for their tocopherol and carotenoid content...
Californian Chardonnay was stored in five different wine-packaging configurations at three different temperatures for a period of 3 months to study the combined packaging and temperature effects on the sensory and chemic...
Current methods for quality control of sugar cane are performed in extracted juice using several methodologies, often requiring appreciable time and chemicals (eventually toxic), making the methods not green and expensiv...
Engineered nanomaterials such as silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been increasingly used in agriculture owning to their antimicrobial and insecticidal properties. However, the contamination of Ag NPs in foods and water...
Although many insect resistance genes have been identified, the number of studies examining their effects in combination using transgenic systems is limited. This study introduced a construct into maize containing the co...
To explore a potential use for peanut skins as a functional food ingredient, milled skins were extracted with 70% ethanol and filtered to remove insoluble material; the soluble extract was spray-dried with or without the...
4'-Thiosemicarbazonegriseofulvin, a new thiosemicarbazide derivative of griseofulvin, was synthesized and evaluated for its potential in the control of enzymatic browning and postharvest disease of fruits. Browning on fr...
An arylesterase from the wine-making acetic acid bacterium, Gluconobacter oxidans, was cloned and expressed into Escherichia coli. The soluble 76.8 kDa dimeric enzyme obtained, Est0881, was purified in only two steps wit...
Foam production is an essential characteristic of beer, generated mainly from the proteins present in the malt and, to a minor extent, from the mannoproteins in brewer's yeast cell walls. Here, we describe the isolation ...
Formation of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) including 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and acrylamide has been an intensive area of research in recent decades. The presence of reactants such as sodium chloride may influe...
Polyphenols are attractive ingredients due to their purported health benefits, but their addition to foods is limited by their chemical instability, as they are rapidly oxidized under many conditions. This oxidation not ...
