Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleOptimization of Hydrolysis Conditions for Obtaining Antithrombotic Peptides from Tenebrio Molitor LarvaeFangyuan Chen, Han Jiang, Yini Gan et al.Tenebrio molitor larvae was hydrolyzed by pepsin and trypsin for preparing high antithrombotic activity hydrolysate. The significant variables were selected according to the Plackett-Burman design and further optimized by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Four factors, including substrate concentration, pepsin digestion time, pepsin amount and trypsin amount, respectively, influenced significantly on the hydrolysis effectiveness. The best hydrolysis conditions obtained using … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 20 May 2019 · 8,722 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Reproductive Tract of the Males of the Zoophytophagous Predator Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) with Different Diets and AgesWalkymario de Paulo Lemos, Rafael Coelho Ribeiro, Francisco de Sousa Ramalho et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is a common and important species for the biological control of defoliating Lepidoptera caterpillars. Although it has a predatory feeding habit, this species make use of plant resources, which are essential for the maintenance of its population in laboratory colonies as well as in the field during periods of prey shortage. Thus … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,419 accessesView PDF Cite
