In order to improve the color and functional properties of sunflower seed protein, low-temperature defatted meal was used as raw material study effects limited enzyme h...

Cereal Chem. 66(l):51 -55 Water retention properties of two hexane-defatted corn germ protein retention of both CGP preparations. Time of incubation (10-30 min) and (CGP) preparations processed by a modified and a conventional procedure pH of solution (pH 6-7) did not affect water retention. Defatted CG P and soy protein flour were studied in model systems and analyzed using obtained by the mod...

Objective: Its objective is to produce a bitter-type chocolate coating from the combination of cocoa CCN51 and Super Tree variety. Methodology: product was elaborated through an experimental, quantitative, qualitative method. Results: 18 experimental units were generated in design, where 2 formulations with replications obtained, which allowed us determine best treatment sensory analysis struct...

A simplified and efficient method is developed for the large-scale purification of the secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) from defatted flaxseed after aqueous ethanol extraction. Extractant from defatted flaxseed with aqueous ethanol is hydrolyzed with basic solution, concentrated under vacuum, subjected to Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and eluted with aqueous ethanol of different c...

Functional properties of fermented bran produced by Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus sp. in a solid-state fermentation system were determined, with an aim to evaluate their application in food formulation. The defatted rice bran and wheat bran were inoculated with the spores of the cultures and incubated at 30°C for 72 h. Samples were withdrawn at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h. Protein content, protein sol...

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy was employed in this work to study the interaction between the antitumoral drug emodin and human serum albumin (HSA), as well as the influence of fatty acids in this interaction. We demonstrated that the drug/protein interaction can take place through two different binding sites which are probably localized in the IIA and IIIA hydrophobic pockets of HSA and w...

Dietary R-sulforaphane is a highly potent inducer of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway. Furthermore, sulforaphane is currently being used in clinical trials to assess its effects against different tumour processes. This study reports an efficient preparation of enantiopure R-sulforaphane based on the enzymatic hydrolysis of its natural precursor glucoraphanin. As an alternative to broccoli seeds, we h...

Healthy and bold seeds of castor variety “Aruna” were collected. The de-hulled castor kernels were separated from seed coat and finely grounded in an electric grinder. The powdered kernels were passed through 60 mesh sieve and defatted using n-hexane in a soxhlet extractor. After complete extraction of oil seed meal was made free from solvent at low temperature. The defatted seed meal was pulve...

Distribution of trace element levels in corn germ fractions from kernels naturally infected with Aspergillus flavus and from kernels free of the fungus demonstrated an association between the presence of A. flavus and higher levels of metals. A. flavus production of aflatoxin on various autoclaved corn media showed that ground, whole corn was an excellent substrate; similar high levels of toxin...
