Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHigh Concentrations of Glucose can Activate or Inhibit Human Erythrocyte Aminolevulinate Dehydratase in vitro Depending Exposure TimeJ. C. Soares, D. Gabriel, V. Folmer et al.Hyperglycemia can cause oxidative stress and inactivate susceptible enzymes. In the present investigation we examined whether short-term incubations (24 or 48 h) with high concentrations of glucose (10-200 mmol L-1) inhibit ALA-D from human erythrocytes. Incubations of erythrocytes for 24 h with glucose (10 up to 40 mmol L-1) resulted in an increase of δ-ALA-D activity (P<0,001). Incubations of erythrocytes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,686 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioethanol Production from Graminoid Weeds in Bayero University Kano: A Potential Feedstock for Future Sustainable Aviation Fuel ApplicationsAdam Salihu Kila, Sa’idu Hassan Musa, Umar Aliyu Ahmed et al.This study evaluates the potential of selected graminoid weeds from Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Nigeria, as feedstock for bioethanol production. Ten (10) abundant weed species, including Cenchrus species, Cynodon dactylon, and Setaria barbata, were subjected to physicochemical pretreatment (ultrasonication, hydrothermal treatment, and enzymatic hydrolysis) followed by fermentation using Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and their co-culture. Pretreatment significantly enhanced reducing sugar … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jul 2026 · 1,170 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Fructan Content from Stem Juices of Different Varieties of Agave Atrovirens, Traditionally Used for the Production of Pulque. Production of a Sweetening Syrup by Chemical and Enzymatic ProcessingKaren Gott-Bravo, Arnulfo Pluma-Pluma, Victor Eric López-López et al.Agave atrovirens, the hardiest species of Agave in Mexico, thrives in tough, infertile soils and extreme temperatures across a wide range of altitudes, particularly in impoverished rural areas of Central and Northern Mexico. Its potential for agroindustrial use could offer a pathway to social and economic prosperity for many communities. Traditionally, A. atrovirens is tapped for its sap, known as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2025 · 7,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Brewing Methods and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae on the Aroma and Quality of Shuanghong Vitis Amurensis WineXiaochun Yu, Jing Xu, Zixuan Wang et al.Blending wines is a useful practice in red wine production, however, it is rarely used in Vitis amurensis wine. In recent years there has been a tendency to seek new products from the blending of wines to achieve greater complexity. The purpose of this study was to improve the aroma composition and complexity of Shuanghong V. amurensis wine, enhance its … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2023 · 4,974 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Capacity, Total Phenol Contents and Phytochemical Screening of Citrullus colocynthis Crust, Pulp and Seeds ExtractsFaten Hameed Thamer, Noah Thamer, Anhar Alhamzi et al.In this study, the phytochemical screening of Citrullus colocynthis (C. colocynthis) crust, pulp, and seed extracts was studied to evaluate and compare their antioxidant capacities and total phenol contents. C. colocynthis fruit, including crust, pulp, and seed, was extracted using n-hexan, methanol, and 1, 1, 2 trichloroethane, respectively, using a soxhlet. Phytochemical screening, antioxidant capacity using the Ferric-Bipyridine Reducing Capacity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2023 · 5,734 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractYeast Immobilization on Peanut Hulls for Potential Application in Beer FermentationWaldir D. Estela-Escalante, Sergio Rosales-Mendoza, Mario Moscosa-SantillánThe potential of using peanut hulls as support material for immobilization of yeast cells during beer fermentation was evaluated. After treatment of peanut hulls with 0.5% (w/v) NaOH, FTIR analysis revealed an important change on its chemical composition. For instance, the proportion of lignin decreased and as a result the adsorption of yeast cells onto the support material during fermentation … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 22 Jul 2019 · 8,375 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of 1-Deoxynojirimycin Content and Phytochemical Profiles from Young and Mature Mulberry Leaves of Morus Spp.Yasinta Ratna Esti Wulandari, Vivitri Dewi Prasasty, Adrianus Rio, Cindy GeniolaMulberry leaves have been known to be rich in 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) which inhibits postprandial hyperglycemia by inhibiting α-glucosidase in the small intestine and thereby reducing the breakdown of starch and other complex sugar into glucose. Mulberry leaf extract also contains many other bioactive compounds and phytochemicals. They are very effective in supporting blood sugar levels and balancing cholesterol and triglycerides. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2019 · 11,074 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEthanol Production by Novel Proline Accumulating Pichia kudriavzevii Mutants Strains Tolerant to High Temperature and Ethanol StressesRika Indri Astuti, Sena Alifianti, Ratu Nabila Maisyitoh et al.Accumulation of osmoprotectant molecule, proline, has been reported to induce a stress tolerance phenotype in yeast cells. In this study, two ethanologenic isolates of yeast, Pichia kudriavzevii (R and T), both capable of using both five and six sugar compounds to produce ethanol, were mutated via ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) treatment. Prolineaccumulating mutant strains were selected by using proline-analogue (L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid). … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2018 · 7,838 accessesView PDF Cite
