The efect of soy protein isolate (SPI) on oxidation rate, changes in color and hardness, and microbiological aspect of chocolates during storage were studied. The Peroxide Value (PV) of the control and 5% showed SPI were highest in week 3 and decreased at the following week, while 10% SPI showed the lowest PV in week 10 as compared to the others. The Anisidine Value (A V ) of all chocolates sho...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating progressive neurodegenerative disorder that ultimately leads to the patient's death. Despite the fact that novel pharmacological approaches endeavoring to block the neurodegenerative process are still emerging, none of them have reached use in clinical practice yet. Thus, palliative treatment represented by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) and ...

Aromatic amines represent a category of classical environmental hazards which require biotransformation in order to exert their mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. The mutagenic activity of several aromatic amines was tested by means of the w/w+ somatic assay of Drosophila melanogaster employing a wild-type strain Leiden Standard (LS) and an insecticide-resistant stock Hikone-R (HK-R). Four mon...

This study reports the optimised conditions (temperature, ethanol concentration and processing-time) for antioxidant extraction from potato peel (Agria variety) waste. At short extraction times (34 min), optimal yields of phenolic (TP) and flavonoid (Fv) compounds were reached at 89.9°C and ethanol concentrations of 71.2% and 38.6%, respectively. The main phenolic compounds identified in the ex...

The behavior of 2-ethoxy-(4H)-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (1) towards nitrogen nucleophiles, e.g. ethanolamine, aromatic amines (namely: p-toluidine, p-anisidine, p-hydroxyaniline, o-hydroxyaniline, o-bromoaniline, o-phenylenediamine, p-phenylenediamine, o-tolidinediamine) p-aminobenzoic acid, glucosamine hydrochloride, 2-aminonicotinic acid, 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid hydrazide, n-decanoic acid hydra...

Herein, we report on the use of nanopalladium on amino-functionalized siliceous mesocellular foam as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines. In all cases, the protocol proved to be highly selective favoring the formation of the desired aniline as the single product in high yields with short reaction times, when employing the naturally-occur...

Abstract Sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides ) with high antioxidant capacity is distributed all over the world, but has never been used as a natural in oils to replace synthetic antioxidants. Therefore, this study was performed investigate effectiveness of sea extract comparison common rosemary and on retarding lipid oxidation. First extracts were characterised, it found that had higher polyp...

The aim of this research was to assess the physico-chemical properties and shelf-life oils press-extracted at two temperatures (60 °C 80 °C) from five Peruvian castor bean ecotypes. A wide variation for all traits observed. Low acidity index, low peroxide index absence p-anisidine were recorded. total tocopherol contents ranged 798 1040 mg/kg. higher antioxidant capacity detected in methanolic ...
