Protein from Tropical Plants

s of Workshop Papers Abstracts of Workshop Paperss of Workshop Papers TOBACCO LEAF PROTEIN Pilot-scale technology that extracts high-quality protein from young tobacco leaves has been developed. Soluble proteins extracted from tobacco plants might be added to foods as nutritional supplements or for functional properties (e.g., gelling, thickening). Although not fully tested, they might have a s...

Plants as useful agents for angiogenesis and tumor growth prevention

Introduction: Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, has important physiological roles in embryonic development, female reproduction cycle, and wound healing. It is also crucial for pathological processes in several diseases especially tumor growth and metastasis. Thereby, inhibition of angiogenesis as an addition to the conventional therapies such...
