Background. This study sought to investigate antioxidant capacity of aqueous extracts of two pepper varieties (Capsicum annuum var. accuminatum (SM) and Capsicum chinense (RO)) and their inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activities. Methods. The antioxidant capacity of the peppers was evaluated by the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS...

Objective: To assess the phenolic acid content of skin, pulp, covering pulp of seed and seed of raw and ripe jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus). Methods: High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) analysis was done of various parts of raw and ripe jackfruits. Results: Raw fruit skin was rich in gallic (22.73 μg/g) followed by tannic and ferulic acids. In ripe fruit, the skin had high amou...

The processing of coffee before it can be drunk goes through a long process, namely harvesting fruits that have matured either by machine or hand, then and drying they become spindle coffee. Before the roasting fruit is chosen first to ripe in order produce last result best process. After selected, next process stripping speed up post-harvest fruit. Harvesting will also affect quality taste cof...

Abstract In this work, we determined optimum ripening time of hard cooked cheeses made by traditional technology or an innovative process aimed at accelerating flavor formation. For that purpose, applied survival analysis statistics. Experimental cheese making (E) included homogenization milk fat, unpasteurized milk, changes in cooking temperature, and a curd-washing step, while (T) followed cl...
