'flying dragon' is one of the citrus rootstocks that are considered to be a promised dwarfing rootstock in the world. this experiment was conducted in the astara research station for study of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of 4 mandarin cultivars (unshiu, clementine, page, and yunesi) budded on 'flying dragon'. this experiment was carried out with four cultivars in randomized comp...

This study investigated the proteomic difference between juice-producing and cooking EAHBs to clarify role of protein in production banana juice. A comparative was carried out determine content, molecular weight distributions, amino acid profile pulps ten different (five five cooking) cultivars. There low variability crude content cultivars, level fell within range 0.80 g/100 g 1.02 g. SDS-PAGE...

β-Cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid, and hesperidin, a flavonoid, possess inhibitory effects on carcinogenesis in several tissues. We recently have prepared a pulp (CHRP) and citrus juices (MJ2 and MJ5) from a satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Mar.) juice (MJ). They contain high amounts of β-cryptoxanthin and hesperidin. We have demonstrated that CHRP and/or MJs inhibit chemically induced rat colon, ra...

Background: Various antioxidnats from daily foods are expected to prevent lifestyle-related diseases. For example, natural carotenoid beta-cryptoxanthin seems to be a promising antioxidant, and based upon epidemiological data it was shown to be a possible cancer preventing agent. For this reason, we chose to study beta-cryptoxanthin more extensively. Methods and Results: From the result of clin...

Impaired secretion of lithostathine, a pancreatic glycoprotein capable of inhibiting the growth of CaCO3 crystals, has been reported in chronic calcifying pancreatitis. Controversial results were obtained, however, using immunoassays with different antibodies. The aim of this study was to purify and to measure juice lithostathine by a non-immunological method. Fast protein liquid chromatography...
