“Cajuina” is a very popular drink in the Brazilian northeastern region and is produced by clarifying cashew apple juice. To preserve “cajuina” from chancing, the clarified cashew apple juice is submitted to thermal treatment where a desired final color should be obtained. To optimize color formation while maintaining high vitamin C and low 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) concentrations the ther...

Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) successfully identified 11 cDNAs in apple skin with highly induced expression as a result of ultraviolet (UV)-B irradiation. Apart from three putative flavonoid biosynthetic genes, chalcone synthase (CHS; A5C), flavanone-3-hydroxylase (F3H; B5F), and flavonol synthase (FLS; D1F), five clones (A1H, A10E, B11G, D5F, and D11H) were induced by low tempera...

Abstract Jams are preparations of fruits whose main preserving agent is sugar. Due to this, health concerns consumers have resulted in a sugar reduction, and its replacement using alternative sweeteners introducing new ingredients enhancing nutritional properties. In this study, four types jams (plum, strawberry, apple, peach), with or without sugar, were prepared two microalgae biomass, Arthro...

Synthetic sugar esters are a relatively new class of insecticidal compounds that are produced by reacting sugars with fatty acids. The objective of this research was to determine how systematic alterations in sugar or fatty acid components of sugar ester compounds influenced their insecticidal properties. Sucrose octanoate, sorbitol octanoate, sorbitol decanoate, sorbitol caproate, xylitol octa...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of galacto-oligosaccharides, lactulose, apple fiber and sugar beet pectin on the composition and activity of human colonic microbiota of lean and obese healthy subjects using an in vitro model of the proximal colon: TIM-2. Substrate fermentation was assessed by measuring the production of short-chain and branched-chain fatty acids, lactate and...

Plants phenology is extremely important tool for crop management, manipulation, and marketing. The objective of this research was to investigate the fruit quality several Annonaceae species under subtropical conditions Homestead, Florida, USA. study carried out in an experimental sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.), orchard with cultivars: 'LeahReese', 'Lessard Thai' 'Red' atemoya ‘Gefner’ (A. che...

background: chewing sugar-free gums is a convenient way to increase salivary flow. salivary flow increases in response to both gustatory (taste) and mechanical (chewing) stimuli, and chewing gum can provide both of these stimuli. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of five different flavors of sugar-free chewing gum on the salivary flow rate (sfr) and ph. materials and methods: fift...

ABSTRACT: The banana tree (Musa spp.) is the second most produced fruit crop and first consumed in Brazil. Among constraints affecting causing production losses are plant-parasitic nematodes. objective of present work was to evaluate effect neem (Azadirachta indica), Annona muricata (soursop) A. squamosa (sugar apple) aqueous leaf extracts treatment plantlets cv. Comprida, naturally infected by...
