In this article I stage an encounter between Adriana Cavarero's account of uniqueness and Hortense Spillers's the flesh. Doing so is valuable for two reasons: First, it forces thought to consider not only exclusion women from Western tradition, but also anti-Blackness foundational tradition. This both expands contorts thought, affirming her key claims while altering them in process. Second, rea...

UNLABELLED Ten different varieties of tomatoes were separated into peel and flesh and each portion was measured separately. Headspace volatiles were measured in real time using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry. Lipoxygenase activity was measured using the adsorption of conjugated dienes formed by lipoxygenase. Lipid was extracted and fatty acids were quantified using a gas chromatograph...

Regarding the distribution of vitamin A in the bodies of fish, there are two types of accumulation: one accumulates most of the vitamin A in the liver, and sometimes in the pyloric caeca also, but very little in the flesh; while the other type accumulates several times more vitamin in the flesh than in the liver. To the former type belong most species of commer cial fish, e. g. sharks, tuna, sk...

The health-promoting effects of phenolic compounds depend on their bioaccessibility from the food matrix and their consequent bioavailability. We carried out a randomized crossover pilot clinical trial to evaluate the matrix effect (raw flesh and juice) of 'Ataulfo' mango on the bioavailability of its phenolic compounds. Twelve healthy male subjects consumed a dose of mango flesh or juice. Bloo...

Flesh and osteoderms of estuarine crocodiles (C. porosus) from Kakadu National Park, Northern Australia, were analysed for a range of metals, including uranium, to assess their capability for accumulation, in relation to their catchment-specific exposure to i) uranium mine effluents and mineralisation and ii) lead shot ammunition through their consumption of fauna shot by the traditional owners...

The aim of this study was to determine that the total anthocyanin content (TAC) and antioxidant activity (AOA) in potato flesh with different colours grown in the Czech Republic. Four yellowor white-, six purpleand four red-fleshed varieties were grown in 2009 at two different sites (Valečov – highland, seed potato area at 460 m a.s.l., Přerov nad Labem – lowland, new potatoes area at 178 m a.s...

Phloem unloading plays a pivotal role in photoassimilate partitioning and the accumulation of sugars in sink organs, e.g. fruit. Here, we investigated the pathway of sucrose unloading in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciasa cv. Qinmei) using a combination of electron microscopy, transport of the phloem-mobile symplastic tracer carboxyfluorescein and enzyme activity and gene expression assays. Our str...
