the purpose of this study was to develop sunless tanning cosmetic creams from green coffee beans. chlorogenic acid, which was extracted from green coffee beans, performed the change of the color of keratin in stratum corneum, used as active ingredient in the formulation. extracted chlorogenic acid from green coffee beans were incorporated into four cosmetic cream bases, and then the tanning eff...

With an initial microbial level of ca. 10 microorganisms per g of Ivory Coast cacao beans, 5 kGy of gamma radiation under an atmosphere of air reduced the microflora per g by 2.49 and 3.03 logs at temperatures of 35 and 50 degrees C, respectively. Bahia cacao beans were artificially contaminated with dried spores of Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium citrinum, giving initial fungal levels of 1....

In this paper we lay out the design time and space of component assembly in a visual builder, and propose concrete ways of also handling context components seamlessly. We present an environment that allows Java developers to test and evaluate JavaBeans components implementing the extensible runtime containment and services protocol. We enhanced the BeanBox from the Bean Development Kit (BDK) wi...

BACKGROUND Many consumers avoid eating beans because they believe legume consumption will cause excessive intestinal gas or flatulence. An increasing body of research and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans supports the benefits of a plant-based diet, and legumes specifically, in the reduction of chronic disease risks. The purpose of the current research was to investigate the perception ...

Application of copper-based fungicide is still the most popular and effective means of controlling black pod disease among Nigerian cocoa farmers. There are two possible pathways through which copper gets into cocoa beans on the field: Uptake and translocation of Cu from soil and Permeation of cocoa pod cuticle by copper after fungicide application. Records showing quantitative contribution of ...

Changes in the trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) of faba beans (Vicia faba L. Major) were investigated after beans were soaked in distilled water, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate solutions. The soaking solution was discarded. The effect of cookingsdiscarding both soaking and cooking solutionsswas also studied. Finally, a dry-heating process was examined. Soaking treatment produced a slight d...

Despite the fact that many plant-feeding insects are pests, little effort has been made to identify key evolutionary trait transitions that allow taxa to acquire or lose pest status. A large proportion of species in the genus Callosobruchus are economically important pests of stored, dry postharvest beans of the tribe Phaseoleae. However, the evolution of this feeding habit is poorly understood...

The proportion of labeled (14)C-glycerol incorporated into phospholipids and the fatty acid composition of three phospholipids in germinating seeds and seedlings of chilling-sensitive lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus L.) and chilling-resistant broad beans (Vicia faba L.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.) at 10 and 25 C were determined. During the imbibition of seeds (first 24 hours), lima beans were sen...

Red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) processed to differ in distribution and content of indigestible carbohydrates were used to study hindgut fermentability and production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). Bean flours with low or high content of resistant starch (RS), mainly raw and physically-inaccessible starch, were obtained by milling the beans before or after boiling. Flours containing r...
