Approach: Thirty six Sprague Dawley male rats which were randomly divided into six groups of 6 rats per group (tree normal groups and three stressed groups) were treated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 18 May 2012 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Induction of Lycopene in Germinating Cottonseed with 2-(4-Methylphenoxy) Triethylamine (MPTA)Lorraine S. Puckhaber, Jinggao LiuAbstract: Problem Statement: Increasing carotenoids content in foods was currently of great interest. The present paper reports strong stimulatory effect of MPTA on the carotenogenesis in cotton, which was used as a model. Approach: Cotton seedlings were treated with MPTA vs. water and germinated in the dark. The levels of carotenoids were determined by HPLC and the expression levels of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Jul 2011 · 7,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Postharvest Treatment Reduces Ascorbic Acid Losses in Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Var. KentMaria A. Islas-Osuna, Norma A. Stephens-Camacho, Carmen A. Contreras-Vergara et al.Problem statement: Mango is a tropical fruit that ripens very quickly; for this reason, there has been a continuous effort to develop postharvest technologies to extend its shelf life and quality. Among them, 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is widely used because it inhibits the action of ethylene receptors. Approach: Changes in physicochemical parameters, bioactive compounds and cell wall degrading activities were evaluated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioconversion of Carotenoids in Five Fruits and Vegetables to Vitamin A Measured by Retinol Accumulation in Rat LiversArmando Carrillo-Lopez, Elhadi M. Yahia, Gabriela K. Ramirez-PadillaProblem statement: Vitamin A deficiency is one of the most prevalent and major nutritional problems in developing countries, especially in young children. In many countries, a substantial proportion of dietary vitamin A is commonly derived from pro-vitamin A carotenoids obtained from colored fruits and orange or green vegetables. However, the bioavailability of retinol derived from carotenoids from these plant sources … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Banana (Musa, AAA cv. Cavendish) Fruits PeelMatook Saif Mokbel, Fumio HashinagaThe fresh green and yellow banana peel of, (Musa, cv. Cavendish) fruits were treated with 70% acetone, which were partitioned with chloroform (CHCl3) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc), sequentially. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by using the thiocyanate method, β-carotene bleaching method and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical elimination. While, antimicrobial activities of the extracts and isolated components were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 16,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant, Free Radical Scavenging and Metal Chelating Characteristics of PropolisHikmet Geckil, Burhan Ates, Gokhan Durmaz et al.This study was undertaken to determine the reducing characteristics, metal chelating capability, anti-lipid peroxidative and antiradical properties of propolis compared to two widely used artificial antioxidants, Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) and Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT). The water and ethanol extracts of propolis showed significantly a different degree of metal chelating, radical scavenging activity and reducing power. In general, ethanol extracts of propolis … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 9,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction and Identification of Water-Soluble Compounds in Palm-Pressed Fiber by SC-CO2 and GC-MSHarrison Lau Lik Nang, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah Ngan, Chuah Cheng HockThe residual oil recovered from palm-pressed fiber is known to contain high level of carotenes (4,000 mg kgˉ1 to 6,000 mg kgˉ1) and vitamin E such as tocopherols and tocotrienols (2,000 mg kgˉ1 to 3,000 mg kgˉ1). In this study, the water-soluble compounds in fresh palm-pressed fiber were recovered by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction.
