Sour cherry seed as an industrial gamma tocopherol source

Genistein isoflavone glycoconjugates in sour cherry cultivars

Cardioprotection afforded by sour cherry seed kernel: the role of heme oxygenase-1.

Cardiovascular diseases are primary cause of death worldwide, particularly among populations with sedentary lifestyles and diets rich in animal products and processed foods. Currently, public health countermeasures to these disorders focus on costly and often marginally effective interventions administered only after the development of disease. These countermeasures are mainly palliative and fa...

Influence of Cultivar and Industrial Processing on Polyphenols in Concentrated Sour Cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) Juice.

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of cultivar and industrial processing on total polyphenols, anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids and antioxidant activity in concentrated sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L., cvs. Marasca and Oblačinska) juices. Samples were collected during four processing steps: from fresh fruit prior to processing, then from pressed, filtered and concentr...

Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) as a Marine Functional Source of Gamma-Tocopherol

Gamma tocopherol (gT) exhibits beneficial cardiovascular effects partly due to its anti-inflammatory activity. Important sources of gT are vegetable oils. However, little is known to what extent gT can be transferred into marine animal species such as Atlantic salmon by feeding. Therefore, in this study we have investigated the transfer of dietary gT into salmon. To this end, fish were fed a di...

Modeling of drying kinetic of pretreated sour cherry

The effects of pretreatment solution (dipping in boiling water, salty boiling water, ethil oleat) were studied on drying kinetic of sour cherry. The thin-layer drying of sour cherries were carried out at three air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70°C and airflow velocity of 1 m/s. The experimental data were fitted to several thin-layer drying models such as Newton, Henderson and Pabis, Page, Logarit...
