Due to its chemical composition it also becomes appropriate for industrial purposes (CANTO; SANTOS; TRAVAGLIN, 1980; TANGO; ...
متن کاملIn Vitro Propagation of Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) Abstract
A method with high success frequency for propagation of avocado is described. Embryonic axes of mature avocado seeds from six Floridian cultivars were excised and cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing growth regulators. Two types of cytokinins were used: benzyladenine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ). Explants were incubated in the dark for 7-10 days to reduce browning, then transfer...
متن کاملHypolipidemic effect of avocado (Persea americana Mill) seed in a hypercholesterolemic mouse model.
Avocado seed contains elevated levels of phenolic compounds and exhibits antioxidant properties. We investigated the effect of Avocado Seed Flour (ASF) on the lipid levels in mice on a hyperlipidemic diet. The concentration of phenols was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, antioxidant activity was evaluated using the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity method, and dietary ...
