Carotenoid Content and Bioaccessibility in Commercial Maize Hybrids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the present study was to determine content and bioaccessibility carotenoids in 104 maize hybrids available at market. Lutein, zeaxanthin, ?- ?-cryptoxanthin, ?-carotene were determined whole grains micelles produced during standardized INFOGEST digestibility analysis, their calculated as ratio micellar grain carotenoids. Tested varied total carotenoid content, with 34% having range 15–20 µg/g dry matter (DM) 41% 20–25 DM. amount bioaccessible increased linearly (p < 0.05) increasing grain, decreased among carotenoidsd order: lutein (52%) > zeaxanthin (43%) ?-cryptoxanthin (27%) ?-cryptoxanthin (26%). Bioaccessibility lutein, 0.05). On average, only 43% commercial tested, which should be considered when formulating an animal diet.

Silk Maysin Content and Resistance of Commercial Corn [ Maize ] Hybrids to Kernel Contamination by Aflatoxin
Several phenols and related compounds have been shown to have detrimental effects on insects while others have antibiotic activity against fungi which attack higher plants. Insects have also been implicated as contributors to preharvest contamination of corn [maize], Zea mays L, by aflatoxin. The objectives, therefore, were to determine (a) if commercial corn hybrids vary in their silk maysin c...
متن کاملCarotenoid content and in vitro bioaccessibility of lutein in some leafy vegetables popular in Sri Lanka.
Lutein is one of the major carotenoids in green leafy vegetables (GLVs), which show a marked antioxidant activity. The study was carried out to identify and quantify the carotenoid content of selected Sri Lankan GLVs. RP-HPLC with photodiode array detection method was followed for the separation, identification and quantification of carotenoids. Among the vegetables analyzed, Ipomoea batatas le...
متن کاملCarotenoid Biosynthetic and Catabolic Pathways: Gene Expression and Carotenoid Content in Grains of Maize Landraces
Plant carotenoids have been implicated in preventing several age-related diseases, and they also provide vitamin A precursors; therefore, increasing the content of carotenoids in maize grains is of great interest. It is not well understood, however, how the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway is regulated. Fortunately, the maize germplasm exhibits a high degree of genetic diversity that can be expl...
متن کاملEffects of husk and harvest time on carotenoid content and acceptability of roasted fresh cobs of orange maize hybrids
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a major public health problem in many developing countries. Orange maize is preferred as green maize and consumed roasted on the cob, especially in Nigeria. This research work was to evaluate the effects of harvest time and husk on the carotenoid contents and sensory properties of roasted orange maize hybrids. The results showed that husk (roasting forms) and harve...

The host status of 50 commercial maize hybrids for a Mississippi population of Rotylenchulus reniformis was determined in greenhouse experiments. Reproduction was measured by determining RF values ([final egg number + juveniles and vermiform adults in soil] / initial egg number) and number of eggs per gram of fresh root. All hybrids maintained R. reniformis below the initial population level, i...
