Stirred yoghurts with different fruit homogenates (papaya, kiwi, pineapple and kaki and control (without additive) were prepared and stored up to 14 days at 5±1°C. Sugar and fruit homogenates were added at the rate of 5 and 10% w/w respectively. The results revealed that, significant differences were observed in proteolytic activity, acidity, protein and fibers contents among all treatments. Ad...

Birds exhibit a huge array of behavior, ecology and physiology, and occupy nearly every environment on earth, ranging from the desert outback of Australia to the tropical rain forests of Panama. Some birds have adopted a fully nocturnal lifestyle, such as the barn owl and kiwi, while others, such as the albatross, spend nearly their entire life flying over the ocean.

The physical, biochemical, and immunological characteristics of plant allergens have been widely studied, but no definite conclusion has been reached about what actually makes a protein an allergen. In this sense, N-glycosylation is an exclusive characteristic of plant allergens not present in mammals and it could be implied in allergenic sensitization. With this aim, we evaluated and compared ...
