Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy on Salivary Glands α-amylase In Wheat Bug Eurygaster maura (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae)Mohammad Mehrabadi, Ali R. Bandaniα-amylase activity in the salivary glands of Eurygaster maura was determined by biochemical experiments. Some of adult insect was collected and their salivary glands isolated and characterized. Enzyme samples from salivary glands of adults were prepared by the method of Cohen with slight modifications. α-Amylase activity was assayed based on Bernfeld method by the dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) procedure. The activity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,648 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of Polysaccharides from a Fermented Tea and Their Antioxidant and Hypoglycemic ViabilityJun Li, Lingxian Tong, Bing Li et al.The hypoglycemic effects of tea have been extensively studied, with fermented tea demonstrating notable efficacy owing to its distinct processing methods. This study involved the extraction of tea polysaccharides from Wuniuzao Black Tea (WTP) using a water extraction and ethanol precipitation method. WTP-1 and WTP-2 were obtained by separation and purification using DEAE-52 cellulose columns. Antioxidant activity was evaluated utilizing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 30 Jul 2026 · 662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Oxidant and Enzyme-Inhibitory Potential of Marine StreptomycesT. Revathy, M. A. Jayasri, K. SuthindhiranMarine actinomycetes are potential source for the discovery of novel compounds and enzymes. Though extensive research on marine actinomycetes is underway globally, the actinomycetes research from Indian marine ecosystem is unexplored and understudied. Hence, the present research is focussed on the screening of bioactive compounds from marine actinomycetes isolated from Indian coastal region. This study is designed to determine the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
