Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBinding Interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin and Chicoric Acid, a Food Functional ComponentHaifang Xiao, Quancai Sun, Xuebo Liu, Yuanda SongFuorescence, FTIR and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy were used to explore the binding between chicoric acid and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). Binding characteristics at various levels of temperature have been calculated. The results indicated that chicoric acid statically quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA. The binding constants (Ka) were 4.14×105 L mol-1 at 273K and 4.29×106 L mol-1 at 298 k. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2016 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUltrasonic Microwave Assisted Extraction, Chemical Characterization and Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides from Fig LeavesBaikangzhe Zheng, Yang Miao, Yi Zhou et al.This study employed ultrasonic-microwave-assisted extraction (UMAE) to isolate water-soluble polysaccharides from fig (Ficus carica L.) leaves (FLPs). Polysaccharide yield was used as the primary index to evaluate extraction efficiency. The effects of material-liquid ratio, microwave power, extraction temperature, and extraction time on polysaccharide yield were systematically investigated through single-factor experiments, followed by response surface methodology optimization.
