Long-term efficacy of the protein-enriched flour of pea (Pisum sativum L. var. Bonneville) in its toxicity, progeny reduction and organoleptic properties was evaluated by combining it with wheat flour and testing the admixture against the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). The toxicity and progeny-reducing effects of the wheat flour treated with protein-enriched pea flour were stab...

The aim of this study was focused on investigating the effects of chemical modifications and molecular weight distribution of phytate-removal Soybean Protein Isolate (SPI) hydrolysate on Degree of Hydrolysis (DH) and the iron binding ability. The chemical modifications included acid treatments, succinylation, acetylation and phosphorylation. Also the effects of molecular weight distribution of ...

Abstract Nile tilapia skin is one of the wastes produced by fillet industry that contains quite high protein. One form utilization very potential gelatin, which known to have bioactive when hydrolyzed properly. The choice Flavorzyme as a hydrolyzing agent because it can hydrolyze proteins specifically and does not cause damage. result gelatin hydrolysis flavorzyme at 50°C was hydrolysate liquid...

A great deal of an elicitor-active oligosaccharide (1.47 g) was obtained from 40 g of polysaccharide laminaran with the guidance of elicitor activity in the bean cotyledon assay. Physicochemical means suggested that the oligosaccharide was a beta-1,3- and beta-1,6-linked triglucoside. This was a partial structure of LN-3, having elicitor activity to alfalfa and bean. The triglucoside exhibited ...

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is frequently associated with hypovitaminosis D. Vitamin D is endowed with pleiotropic effects, including insulin resistance (IR) and apoptotic pathway. Disruption of the complex mechanism that regulated ovarian apoptosis has been reported in PCOS. Phosphoprotein enriched in diabetes gene product (PED/PEA-15), an anti-apoptotic protein involved in typ...

Egg-yolk protein hydrolysate (YPp) is an alternative protein source in formulas for infants with intolerance to cow's milk or soyabean protein, or for patients with intestinal disorders. However, the nutritional value of YPp has never been investigated. YPp was prepared by enzymic hydrolysis of delipidated yolk protein, which led to an average peptide length of 2.6 residues. Three experiments w...

Legumes are important crop plants and pea (Pisum sativum L.) has been investigated as a model with respect to several physiological aspects. The sequencing of the pea genome has not been completed. Therefore, proteomic approaches are currently limited. Nevertheless, the increasing numbers of available EST-databases as well as the high homology of the pea and medicago genome (Medicago truncatula...

Zentner et al., 2001). Johnson (1982) found that income variability was reduced under summer fallow and that Suitability of alternative crops in the northern Great Plains remains summer fallow maximized return to land at low yields, a question because of water limitations. Objectives were to compare water use of an oat (Avena sativa L.)–pea (Pisum sativum L.) mix low wheat prices, and high N pr...

Following cross-linking by microbial transglutaminase, modified oyster proteins were hydrolyzed to improve inhibitory activity against angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity with the use of a single protease, or a combination of six proteases. The oyster hydrolysate with the lowest 50% ACE inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.40 mg/mL was obtained by two-step hydrolysis of the ...
