Responses of sapodilla fruit (Manilkara zapota [L.] P. Royen) to postharvest treatment with 1methylcyclopropene

Trace element geochemistry of Manilkara zapota (L.) P. Royen, fruit from winder, Balochistan, Pakistan in perspective of medical geology.

An integrated study of rocks, soils and fruits of Manilkara zapota (L.) (Sapotaceae) of Winder area have been carried out to elaborate trace elements relationship between them. The igneous rocks of the study area have elevated amount of certain trace elements, upon weathering these elements are concentrated in the soil of the area. The trace elements concentration in the soil were found in the ...

Manilkara zapota (Linn.) Seeds: A Potential Source of Natural Gum

Mucilage isolated from seeds of Manilkara zapota (Linn.) P. Royen syn. is a plant growing naturally in the forests of India. This mucilage is yet to be commercially exploited, and characterized as polymer. Various physicochemical methods like particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, gel permeation chromatography, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, zeta potential, Fou...

Inhibition of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma by Manilkara zapota L. stem bark in Swiss albino mice.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antitumor activity of Manilkara zapota (M. zapota) L. stem bark against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice. METHODS The in vivo antitumour activity of the ethyl acetate extract of stem bark of M. zapota L. (EASM) was evaluated at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg bw against EAC using mean survival time. After administration of the extract of M. zapota, viable E...

Food allergy and anaphylaxis – 2046. Cloning and characterization of the gene for acidic thaumatin-like protein, an important allergen from sapodilla plum (manilkara zapota)

Methods A case of oral allergy syndrome to sapodilla and custard apple was investigated following approval by Institutional Ethics Committee. Sapodilla allergy was confirmed by diagnostic tests (SPT and allergen-specific IgE). Sapodilla proteins were separated on SP-Sepharose by adsorption at pH 4 followed by step elution at pH 5 (SP1), and with increasing NaCl – 0.1 M (SP2) and 0.2 M (SP3). Fo...
