A high intake of fruit and vegetables is well known to have positive effects on human health, and has been correlated to a decreased risk of most degenerative diseases of ageing, such as cardiovascular disease, cataract...

The methanolic fruit extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera was analyzed for the presence phytocompounds, their bioactivity, functional groups involved in this activity, and its amino acid profile using standard procedures. Phytochemicals such as tannins, phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids were identified being highly present. Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis 16 bioactive compound...

In recent years, much attention has been paid to the existence of peptides with biological activities and proteins derived from foods that might have beneficial effects for humans. Fishes are rich sources of structurally diverse bioactive compounds. The importance of fish as a source of novel bioactive substances is growing rapidly. Marine fish is a major source of high-quality peptides, protei...

An amino acid type poly(ethylene glycol) is a useful tool for preparation of a bi- or multivalent poly(ethylene glycol) hybrid of bioactive peptides, but synthesis is problematic. The amino acid type poly(ethylene glycol) was prepared from poly(oxyethylene)diglycolic acid followed by introduction of a fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl group. The resulting product could be purified easily by LH-20 colu...

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is commonly consumed by humans and widely available around the world. It has impressive nutritional properties, a rich phytochemical profile, various claimed medicinal health benefits. The major carotenoids in watermelon include lycopene, β-carotene, phytofluene, phytoene, lutein, neurosporene. Lycopene (approximately 6,888 μg/152 g) bioactive component fruit it r...

Marine and terrestrial regions are explored from many years and their bioactive compounds are being exploited. As the use of therapeutic novel compounds increases, researchers from all over the world started exploring oceans for bioactive compounds. Actinomycetes, filamentous bacteria have been extensively studied for their therapeutic compounds. They are found to occur in aquatic environments;...

Quinolines, an important class of potentially bioactive compounds, have been synthesized by treatment of O-aminoarylketones and carbonyl compounds utilizing niobium (V) chloride / polyethylenglycole(NbCl5.PEG) and niobium(V)chloride (NbCl5) as available and inexpensive catalysts. The quinoline derivatives were prepared in glycerol, an excellent solvent in terms of environmental impact, with hig...

this study was carried out to investigate impacts of myrobalan rootstock and blackthorn interstem on fruit growth, physico-chemical features and bioactive compounds of two apricot cultivars (‘harcot’ and ‘roksana’) in 2010 and 2011. fruits of both cultivars on myrobalan and/or blackthorn grew with a classic double sigmoid curve from full bloom time to harvest. during growth and development peri...
