An antibody raised against purified glyoxysomal lipase (triacylglycerol hydrolase EC 3.1.1.3.) from castor bean (relative molecular weight of 62,000) also binds to a protein with a relative molecular weight of 62,000 in extracts of food reserve tissues from many young oilseed plants. These plants include Brassica napus L., Zea mays L., Arachis hypogaea L., Glycine max L., Gossipium hirsutum L.,...

A 8 month-old infant presented with acute onset of severe jaundice, anemia requiring transfusion and Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency. The infant did not take drugs, he did not consume fava beans, but fava beans DNA was found on pumpkin he consumed the day before jaundice onset. This is the first case of hemolysis triggered by ingestion of food cross-contaminated with fava beans.

In a broad sense, the name coffee is used not only for fruits of the coffee tree (cherry coffee), but also for processed fruit such as green (raw) coffee, roasted coffee, instant coffee, and coffee as a beverage. The grading and quality evaluation of coffee beans is based on uniformity, purity, the absence of damaged beans, and decisively on the organoleptic properties of the beverage prepared ...

Protochlorophyll (Pchl) and protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) are at comparable levels in 2-day-old (young) etiolated bean leaves (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Red Kidney). During subsequent development in the dark, both pigments increase, but the rate of Pchlide increase is greater than that of Pchl, leading to the commonly observed predominance of Pchlide beyond 7 days (old leaves). Both protopigme...

Cassia occidentalis is an annual shrub found in many countries including India. Although bovines and ovines do not eat it, parts of the plant are used in some traditional herbal medicines. Several animal studies have documented that fresh or dried beans are toxic. Ingestion of large amounts by grazing animals has caused serious illness and death. The toxic effects in large animals, rodents and ...

OBJECTIVES Health Avatar Beans was for the management of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This article is about the DialysisNet system in Health Avatar Beans for the seamless management of ESRD based on the personal health record. METHODS For hemodialysis data modeling, we identified common data elements for hemodialysis information (CDEHI). We used ASTM continuity o...

A nutrition study was conducted to evaluate the growth response of weaned piglets fed diets containing soya beans that had been processed into protein supplements at two different levels of dry matter (DM) and temperature. Four diets contained protein supplements prepared from whole full-fat soya beans equilibrated at 800 or 900 g kgÿ1 DM prior to being heated to 110 or 1258C. An additional die...

BACKGROUND Our objective was to compare the capacities of biofortified and standard colored beans to deliver iron (Fe) for hemoglobin synthesis. Two isolines of large-seeded, red mottled Andean beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), one standard ("Low Fe") and the other biofortified ("High Fe") in Fe (49 and 71 μg Fe/g, respectively) were used. This commercial class of red mottled beans is the preferre...
