متن کاملEffect of temperature on aflatoxin production in Mucuna pruriens seeds.
This paper describes the effect of temperature on the level of aflatoxin production in Mucuna pruriens seeds. The highest level of aflatoxin B1 (1.75 micrograms/g) was detected in the samples incubated at 25 degrees C for three weeks. At 20, 30, and 35 degrees C, aflatoxin levels were 0.30 to 0.56, 0.37 to 1.20, and 0.26 to 0.65 micrograms/g, respectively. The lowest concentration of aflatoxin ...
متن کاملPhysico-chemical and Antifungal Properties of Trypsin Inhibitor from the Seeds of Mucuna pruriens
The trypsin inhibitor has been purified to apparent homogeneity from the seeds of Mucuna pruriens employing ammonium sulfate fractionation, cation exchange chromatography on CMcellulose and gel-permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-100. The purified Mucuna pruriens trypsin inhibitor (MPTI) showed a specific inhibitor activity of 474.66, fold purity of 99.51 and the yield obtained was 22.08%. ...
متن کاملStorage Proteins and Trypsin Inhibitors of an Underutilized Legume, Mucuna: Variability and Their Stability during Germination
