Hydrolysis of whey proteins by proteases extracted from Cynara cardunculus and immobilized onto highly activated supports.
Blends of cardosins A and B, enzymes present in aqueous extracts of the flowers of the thistle (Cynara cardunculus L.), have for long been used as rennets by the cheesemaking industry in the Iberian Peninsula. These dimeric proteases are present in the stigmae and stylets of said flowers, and are thought to play a role in sexual reproduction of the plant. In the present research effort, product...
متن کاملBioactive peptides in ovine and caprine cheeselike systems prepared with proteases from Cynara cardunculus.
The potential angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory and antioxidant activities of peptides in water-soluble extracts, obtained from raw and sterilized ovine and caprine cheeselike systems coagulated with enzymes from the plant Cynara cardunculus, were assessed. Prior to the assay, the 3,000-Da permeate from 45-d-old cheeselike systems was fractionated by tandem chromatographic techniqu...
متن کاملThermostability of cardosin A from Cynara cardunculus L
The structural stability of cardosin A, a plant aspartic proteinase (AP) from Cynara cardunculus L., has been investigated by high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry, intrinsic fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy, and enzymatic activity assays. Even though the thermal denaturation of cardosin A is partially irreversible, valid thermodynamic data can be obtained within a ...
متن کاملAgrimonia eupatoria L. and Cynara cardunculus L. Water Infusions: Comparison of Anti-Diabetic Activities.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is frequently diagnosed at a time when patients already suffer from several cardiovascular complications. Our previously published data (Molecules 201520 (11): 20538-50) on the anti-oxidative properties of Agrimonia eupatoria L. (AE) and Cynara cardunculus L. (CC) prompted us to extend the available evidence on their possible protective activities on selected DM-related p...
متن کاملAgrimonia eupatoria L. and Cynara cardunculus L. Water Infusions: Phenolic Profile and Comparison of Antioxidant Activities.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly considered in the ethiopathogenesis of different pathological conditions because they may cause significant damage to cells and tissues. In this paper, we focused on potential antioxidant properties of two medical plants such as the Agrimonia eupatoria L. and Cynara cardunculus L. Both plants have previously been studied for their pharmacological activit...
