The chemistry of beer flavor instability remains shrouded in mystery, despite decades of extensive research. It is, however, certain that aldehydes play a crucial role because their concentration increase coincides with ...
Shochu is traditional Japanese liquor produced from various crops and fungi Aspergillus kawachi or A. awamorii. The amount of unutilized shochu distillation remnants is increasing because of the recent prohibition of oce...
Four different Nicotiana flowers (Nicotiana alata (alata), Nicotiana sylvestris (Sy), Nicotiana suaveolens (Su), and Nicotiana tabacum cv. Flue-Cured (FC)) from farms in Virginia and North Carolina were harvested and pro...
A one-step lateral flow immunoassay was developed for semiquantitatively detecting ochratoxin A (OTA) in wines and grape musts. Matrix-matched calibration curves carried out in blank wines showed a detection limit of 1 m...
This study was designed to elucidate the biological variation in expression of many metabolites due to environment, genotype, or both, and to investigate the potential utility of metabolomics to supplement compositional ...
Compounds derived from botanicals, such as olive trees, have been shown to possess various qualities that make them function as ideal antioxidants and, in doing so, protect them against the damaging effect of ultraviolet...
Thorough knowledge of the absorption and metabolism of dietary benzoxazinoids is needed to understand their health promoting effects. In this study, the fates of these bioactive compounds were examined by LC-MS/MS in pla...
Mice (20.0 +/- 2.0 g, n = 48 per group) were given 30 days oral administration of polysaccharide-from Plantago asiatica L. seeds at the dose of 04 g/kg body weight by gavage to investigate the effects of the polysacchari...
Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths globally. Due to the lack of successful chemopreventive agents for lung cancer, there is an emerging need to evaluate new and effec...
The reuse of agronomical residues is a pending goal for sustainable agriculture. Particular residues in olive-oil-producing countries are leaves, wastewater, and olive pomace. Olive leaves and wastewaters have been previ...
Using in vitro hydroxyl radical-scavenging and quinone reductase-inducing assays, bioactivity-guided fractionation of an ethyl acetate-soluble extract of the fruits of the botanical dietary supplement, black chokeberry (...
In this study, a new heteropolysaccharide, here called L2, was separated from the fruit body of Lentinula edodes. Chemical and physical analyses indicated that L2 has a molecular weight of 26 KDa and consists of glucose ...
Fucosterol, a sterol that is abundant in marine algae, has hypocholesterolemic activity, but the mechanism underlying its effect is not clearly understood. Because data suggest that fucosterol can increase plasma high de...
Elevated proportions of amylose in cereals are commonly associated with either the loss of starch branching or starch synthase activity. Goami 2 is a high-amylose mutant of the temperate japonica rice variety Ilpumbyeo. ...
Nornicotine is the demethylation product of nicotine and the precursor of tobacco-specific nitrosamine N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). There is an inconsistent enantiomer fraction (EF) of n...
The objective of this research was to fabricate novel antimicrobial films based on zein colloidal nanoparticles coated with sodium caseinate (SC), an emulsifier/stabilizer. Thymol-loaded zein-SC nanoparticles were prepar...
