Acute Toxicity and Genotoxic Activity of Avocado Seed Extract (Persea americana Mill., c.v. Hass)
The use of vegetal extracts requires toxicological and genotoxic evaluations to establish and verify safety before being added to human cosmetic, pharmaceutical medicine, or alimentary products. Persea americana seeds have been used in traditional medicine as treatment for several diseases. In this work, the ethanolic seed extract of Persea americana was evaluated with respect to its genotoxic ...
متن کاملTranscriptomic Analysis of Avocado Hass (Persea americana Mill) in the Interaction System Fruit-Chitosan-Colletotrichum
Avocado (Persea americana) is one of the most important crops in Mexico as it is the main producer, consumer, and exporter of avocado fruit in the world. However, successful avocado commercialization is often reduced by large postharvest losses due to Colletotrichum sp., the causal agent of anthracnose. Chitosan is known to have a direct antifungal effect and acts also as an elicitor capable of...
متن کاملPistil Starch Reserves at Anthesis Correlate with Final Flower Fate in Avocado (Persea americana)
A common observation in different plant species is a massive abscission of flowers and fruitlets even after adequate pollination, but little is known as to the reason for this drop. Previous research has shown the importance of nutritive reserves accumulated in the flower on fertilization success and initial fruit development but direct evidence has been elusive. Avocado (Persea americana) is a...
متن کاملPolyphenoloxidase and peroxidase in avocado pulp ( Persea americana Mill . )
The sensorial qualities, the nutritional value, and the large amount of vitamins of the avocado justify the expansion of the fruit consumption. The nutritional value of avocado is due to its high lipidic (8.4%) and proteic (1.2%) contents, which may reach 30% of its pulp. Due to its chemical composition it also becomes appropriate for industrial purposes (CANTO; SANTOS; TRAVAGLIN, 1980; TANGO; ...
متن کاملCytochrome P-450 from the Mesocarp of Avocado (Persea americana).
The microsomal fraction from the mesocarp of avocado (Persea americana) is one of few identified rich sources of plant cytochrome P-450. Cytochrome P-450 from this tissue has been solubilized and purified. Enzymatic assays (p-chloro-N-methylaniline demethylase) and spectroscopic observations of substrate binding suggest a low spin form of the cytochrome, resembling that in the microsomal membra...
