Induction of giant cells by the synthetic food colorants viz. lemon yellow and orange red

Egg Production of the Citrus Red Mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Lemon and Mandarin Orange

Environ.Enlomol.17(4): 715-721 (1988) ABSTRACT The suitability of lemon, Citrus limon (L.) Burm. cv. Lisbon, for egg production by the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor), was compared with that of mandarin orange, Citrus unshiu Markovitch cv. Satsuma in the field and laboratory over a 15-moperiod. The two plant specieswere most suitable during the spring (April-June), when mites gener...

Natural Food Colorants

Simultaneous determination of synthetic colorants in yogurt by HPLC.

This article reports on a method to determine synthetic dyes in yogurts and milk drinks. Initially a method for extraction of artificial dyes was developed to pretreat samples in order to extract most of the artificial colorants. Then, the colorants were analyzed by HPLC-PAD using gradient elutions. The method was linear in the range of 0.5-25mgL(-1) colorants (0.9991<R(2)<0.9998), with LOD of ...

Genome Sequence of Talaromyces atroroseus, Which Produces Red Colorants for the Food Industry

Talaromyces atroroseus is a known producer of Monascus colorants suitable for the food industry. Furthermore, genetic tools have been established that facilitate elucidation and engineering of its biosynthetic pathways. Here, we report the draft genome of a potential fungal cell factory, T. atroroseus IBT 11181 (CBS 123796).

Red Giant–disk Encounters: Food for Quasars?

We explore the role that red giants might play in the fuelling and evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei. Due to their large radii and the low binding energy of the stellar envelope, giants are vulnerable to envelope stripping from collisions with the accretion disk. Using hydrodynamic simulations we show that such collisions will typically deposit a substantial fraction of the envelope mass into...
