The maize (Zea mays L.) floury-2 (fl2) mutation is associated with a general decrease in storage protein synthesis, altered protein body morphology, and the synthesis of a novel 24-kD alpha-zein storage protein. Unlike storage proteins in normal kernels and the majority of storage proteins in fl2 kernels, the 24-kD alpha-zein contains a signal peptide that would normally be removed during prote...

A 32-kilodalton vegetative storage protein, found in Salix microstachya Turz. bark during the overwintering period, was purified and characterized using several polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic procedures. Solubility characteristics and amino acid analyses were also performed. The protein is water soluble, is glycosylated, has no disulfide-bonded subunits, but is composed of a family of isoel...

Fresh hen (Gallus gallus domesticus) egg white was submitted to hyperbaric storage at 200 MPa room temperature for up 28 days. Control samples were stored 4 °C and 0.1 MPa. Storage conditions compared antimicrobial capacity towards inoculated (circa log CFU g−1) Staphylococcus aureus Salmonella enterica, changes in physical, structural functional properties. S. enterica completely inactivated w...

the genus hyoscyamus belongs to the tribe hyoscyameae miers of solanaceae family. variation in protein bands elaborates the relationship among the collections from various geographical regions. in this study the seed storage protein diversity of 19 accessions of hyoscyamus (h. niger, h. reticulatus and  h. pusillus) from west azerbaijan (iran) was investigated according to the sodium dodecyl su...

The effects of the use of essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis on the chemical quality and fatty acids of fish fillets of Ctenopharyngodon idella were investigated during frozen storage at -18 ºC for 6 months. Fish fillets were divided into three groups; the control (C) without rosemary essential oil, the second group with 0.2 % rosemary essential oil (A) and the third with 0.4 % (v/v) rosem...

ABSTRACT: Edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (WPC) and gellan gum (G) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of Malus domestica cv Golab apples. WPC and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (Gly) were tested. Postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

Fish Protein Concentrate (FPC) is a healthy, sustainable and high nutritive product that produced from fish and protein and other nutrients are more concentrated than in the fresh fish. The aim of this research is to study the sustainability of FPC produced from Kilka (combination of three Caspian Sea Kilka species, Clupeonella engrauliformis, C. grimmi and C. cultriventris which were not ident...

Potential involvement of seed storage proteins in susceptibility to aflatoxin contamination was assessed with in vitro tests. Initially, two oilseed storage proteins [cottonseed storage protein (CSP) and zein] were compared with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and collagen. Supplementation of a complete defined medium with either oilseed storage protein resulted in significantly more aflatoxin produ...
