Acalypha indica, a known medicinal plant in the treatment of various degenerative diseases and a potential source of valuable bioactives. The present study investigates the total phenolic and flavonoid content and also screen for phytocompounds in A. indica leaf extract obtained by two extraction methods, comparatively. Results indicated that the maceration extraction method (MEM) had highest t...

Chenopodiaceae, Spinacia oleracea, Flavonoid Metabolism, Chalcone Synthase, Two Different Activities Chalcone synthase activity was found in enzyme preparations from spinach. In homogenates o f young leaves two different activities o f the enzyme could be separated by DEAE-ion exchange chromatography and chromatofocusing. Both activities formed naringenin with [2-14C] malonylCoA and 4-coumaroyl...

The tomato industry has been searching for new genotypes with improved fruit production, both in the field and industrially processed, together high-quality performance under sustainable management conditions. This research was carried out Southern Italy aim of assessing effects industrial processing on yield quality four hybrids grown according to organic farming methods addressed at dicing. M...

A cDNA encoding flavone synthase I was amplified by RT-PCR from leaflets of Petroselinum crispum cv. Italian Giant seedlings and functionally expressed in yeast cells. The identity of the recombinant, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent enzyme was verified in assays converting (2S)-naringenin to apigenin.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate chemical, biochemical properties and nutritional value Spirulina algae powder. dried spirulina contained (53.8%) protein, (5.92%) lipid; beside total carbohydrates, ash, crude fiber 15.13, 9.67 3.32%; respectively. The had seven essential amino acids; histidine, lysine, methionine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, isoleucine leucine. a valuable amo...
