The interactions of gallic acid and tannic acid with purified brush border sucrase (EC 3.2.1.48) from mouse intestine have been studied. These findings indicate that both gallic acid and tannic acid inhibit sucrase activity, which is pH dependent. Kinetic analysis revealed that enzyme inhibition by gallic acid is a pure V effect at pH 5.0, which changes to mixed type at pH 7.2, and pure K effec...

This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of boiled pork powder (BPP) and hot water extract powder (HWEP) from 4 cuts of meat from Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc (LYD). The highest DPPH radical scavenging activities determined were from BPP of Boston butt (13.65 M TE) and HWEP of loin (19.40 M TE) and ham (21.45 M TE). The 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiaz...

Sujiaonori, a river alga growing in the Kochi prefecture, Japan, contains several bioactive compounds such as sulfated polysaccharides (ulvans), ω-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. Dietary intake of this alga-based supplement has been reported to increase circulatory adiponectin, a salutary hormone that is reported to be associated with healthy longevity and prevents a number of cardiovascular and m...

Article Type: Short communication Coffee is a favorite drink in the world which has been consumed for centuries. Coffee has both positive and negative effects on human health, that is why scientists need to show concern for the volume of coffee that should be consumed daily. Coffee contains phytochemicals known as phenolic acids and are influenced by temperature. This study was aimed at knowing...

Market demand for “clean and green” food products is increasing, so there growing opportunity the seaweed aquaculture industry to take a position as key producer in this area. In study, order investigate impact of dry fractionation on protein qualities, dried milled powder from three species was sieved into 6 fractions (F1 F6) different particle size >710 µm <50 µm. True protein, total amino ac...

Soy protein ingredients have been accredited a number of beneficial effects on preventing obesity, lowering blood cholesterol levels, have evidence for a beneficial role in preventing diseases (cancer, osteoporosis, menopausal disorders and cardiovascular diseases) The aim of the study was to evaluate the quantity of various phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid and in-vitro antioxidant activities ...

–The use of powder of calcined brick (PCB) as the low-cost adsorbents was investigated as a replacement for current costly methods of removing nickel ions from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to examine the effects of physico-chemical key parameters such as the stirring rate, initial metal ion concentration, pH, agitation time, particle size and adsorbent dosage on th...

Sulfur-utilizing autotrophic denitrification relies on an inorganic carbon source to reduce the nitrate by producing sulfuric acid as an end product and can be used for the treatment of wastewaters containing high levels of nitrates. In this study, sulfur-denitrifying bacteria were used in anoxic batch tests with sulfur as the electron donor and nitrate as the electron acceptor. Various medium ...

individual daily requirements recommend 25-35 g dietary fiber to maintain overall health and aid digestion. dietary fiber exists in fruits and vegetables, but can also be obtained by adding wheat bran to bread. wheat bran, however, contains high levels of phytic acid that is known to chelate iron, calcium, zinc, and magnesium and form complex phytic acid cations that reduce their bioavailabilit...
