The occurrence of nonenzymaticbrowning in fruit juices during storage is a major quality defect. It negatively affects consumer acceptance and consumption behavior determines the shelf-life these products. Although nonenzymatic browning has been subject research for long time, exact mechanism reactions not yet completely understood. This review paper aims to give an overview compounds playing k...

The effects of pineapple juice (PJ), pineapple shell extract (PSE) and rice bran extract (RBE) on browning in the banana slices and puree compared with citric acid solution (pH 3.8) (PH) and distilled water (DW) were investigated by measuring the color changes of the banana slices and puree. RBE treated banana slices had lower browning value than those treated with PJ, PSE, PH and DW after stor...

Adipose (fat) tissue is a complex metabolic organ that is highly active and essential. In contrast to white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT) is deemed metabolically beneficial because of its ability to burn calories through heat production. The conversion of WAT-resident adipocytes to "beige" or "brown-like" adipocytes has recently attracted attention. However, it typically take...

INTRODUCTION To control the tissue browning phenomenon, callus growth, total phenolics and paclitaxel production, in the current investigation, we evaluated the effects of citric acid and ascorbic acid (as antioxidants) and glucose, fructose and sucrose in callus cultures of Taxus brevifolia. METHODS To obtain healthy callus/cell lines of Taxus brevifolia, the effects of two antioxidants asco...

The recent discovery of browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) has raised great research interest because of its significant potential in counteracting obesity and type 2 diabetes. Browning is the result of the induction in WAT of a newly discovered type of adipocyte, the beige cell. When mice are exposed to cold or several kinds of hormones or treatments with chemicals, specific depots of WAT ...

Biomass pigments have been regarded as promising alternatives to conventional synthetic dyestuffs for the development of sustainable and clean dyeing. This investigation focused on in situ dyeing of fabrics with biopigments derived from tea polyphenols via non-enzymatic browning reaction. The average particle size of dyed residual liquor with natural tea polyphenol was 717.0 nm (ranging from 61...

Bread and especially wheat bread as the basic food of society is one indispensable sources human nutrition. Color browning (caramelization) occurring in bakery products a result heat treatment an important indicator Maillard reaction (MR). As types, francala bread, grissini, rusk traditional oven-dry were examined. Antioxidant substances MR crust have place preventing colon cancer for terms hea...

Sodium chlorite (SC) is an effective sanitizer for inhibiting microbial growth. This investigation was conducted to determine the efficacy of SC as a browning control agent for use on fresh-cut apple slices, applied alone, or in conjunction with organic acids. Additionally, the authors compared the efficacy of SC to that of acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) and to several other salts and examined...

Increased color in surface waters, or browning, can alter lake ecological function, lake thermal stratification and pose difficulties for drinking water treatment. Mechanisms suggested to cause browning include increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and iron concentrations, as well as a shift to more colored DOC. While browning of surface waters is widespread and well documented, little is kn...
