The aim of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical parameters mangoes for export. results revealed that lose firmness after three days storage and pulp turns yellow-orange. sugar content increases progressively along time. However, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity decreases with time confirming decrease phenol content. As polyphenoloxidases (PPO) peroxidases (POD), it increased...

We examined whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the calpain (CAPN) and calpastatin (CAST) genes, described from Bos primigenius taurus, are polymorphic in Nellore cattle. We also looked for a possible association of linkage disequilibrium of this polymorphism with tenderness of the longissimus dorsi muscle after 7, 14 and 21 days of postmortem aging in 638 purebred Nellore bulls. ...
