Antioxidants Potential of the Filamentous Fungi (Mucor circinelloides)
Three important strains of Mucorcircinelloides grown in complete and minimal media for specified period (72 h, 120 h and 168 h) under submerged fermentation conditions were investigated for their potential antioxidants/secondary metabolite production. All mycelial extracts demonstrated effective antioxidant activities in terms of β-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching, radical scavenging, reduction...
متن کاملOil biosynthesis in microsomal membrane preparations from Mortierella alpina.
Microsomal membrane preparations from Mortierella alpina catalysed the conversion of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and [(14)C]oleoyl-CoA to radioactive phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol. Experiments with lysophosphatidic acid and [(14)C]oleoyl-CoA gave a similar pattern of radioactivity in the complex lipids. The specific activity of lysophosphatidate acyltransferase was almost ei...
متن کاملExtraction and purification of -carotene from filamentous fungus Mucor azygosporus
-carotene has been used for years as natural food colorants and in cosmetics and healthcare due to their antioxidant property. The production of -carotene by Mucor azygosporus was evaluated, utilizing deproteinized waste whey filtrate. Since pigments are intracellular, their extraction needed after cell cultivation. In this study, different strategies for extraction of -carotene from M. azyg...
متن کاملMetabolic Effects of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Chickens: A Review
Chicken has been used as a suitable model for lipid metabolism studies, because dietary modifications especially dietary fat type can change chicken body composition. Fats act as a condense source of energy and certain fatty acids such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are required for both animal and human health. The n-3 PUFAs, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic ...
متن کاملEffect of Unsaturation on the Stability of C18 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Vesicles Suspension in Aqueous Solution
Degree of unsaturation in fatty acid molecules plays an important role in the formation of vesicles. Vesicle formation from C18 fatty acids with different amount of double bonds such as oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid with the incorporation of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DPPE-PEG2000) have been examined by TEM. Critical v...
