This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary grape skin on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense system in rats fed high fat diet. The Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either control (5% fat) diet or high fat (25% fat) diet which was based on AIN-93 diet for 2 weeks, and then they were grouped as control group (C), control + 5% grape skin group (CS), high-fat group (HF), high ...

Tumorigenic (CG49) and nontumorigenic (CG484) strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens bv. 3 attached to grape roots at a higher level than did a nonpectinolytic mutant of CG49 (CG50) or a tumorigenic strain of A. tumefaciens bv. 1 (CG628). Strains attached equally well to wounded and unwounded grape roots. Strains responded differently to pea plants in that biovar 3 strains consistently attached t...

The effect of 2% grape seed and 2% grape skin powder added to chicken thigh patties stored at 4°C was assessed by measuring lipid oxidation, total phenolic content, pH, color changes and sensory attributes. The addition of these grape by-products to the patties lowered pH values and significantly reduced in lightness, redness and yellowness compared with the control. However, the addition of gr...

We present Particle–Particle–Particle–Mesh (PPPM) and Tree Particle–Mesh (TreePM) implementations on GRAPE-5 and GRAPE-6A systems, special-purpose hardware accelerators for gravitational many-body simulations. In our PPPM and TreePM implementations on GRAPE, the computational time is significantly reduced compared with the conventional implementations without GRAPE, especially under the strong ...

Every year, millions of tons food and beverage waste are thrown away unused around the world. The carbohydrates found in create a raw material potential for production high value-added products that used energy, feed pharmacology. One these products, 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5-HMF), is by-product simple dehydration carbohydrates. It finds wide use field pharmacy due to its anticancer, antifu...
