The usual dietary sources of Vitamin B12 are animal-derived foods, although a few plant-based foods contain substantial amounts of Vitamin B12. To prevent Vitamin B12 deficiency in high-risk populations such as vegetarians, it is necessary to identify plant-derived foods that contain high levels of Vitamin B12. A survey of naturally occurring plant-derived food sources with high Vitamin B12 con...

the experiment was conducted to determine α-amylase activity and the effect of seven plant species extracts including punica granatum l. (punicaceae), rheum officinale b. (polygonaceae), rhus coriaria l. (anacardiaceae), artemisia sieberi b. ( compositae), peganum harmala l. (nitrariaceae) , datura stramonium l. (solanaceae) and thymus vulgaris l. (lamiaceae) on α-amylase activity of four store...

conclusions extracts of u. dioica showed significant antibacterial effect against some clinically important pathogenic bacteria. based on the obtained results it can be concluded that u. dioica is useful as antibacterial and bactericidal agent in treating infectious diseases. materials and methods hydroalcoholic extracts from aerial parts were prepared using aqueous solution of ethanol and meth...

Nowadays there are no doubts about the positive impact that fruits and vegetables have on human health. Plant fibres (i.e. non-digestible carbohydrates) are widely present in daily food, such as soups, dressings and sauces. On the other hand, agricultural (non-wood) by-products have a low economical value. However, those residues are frequently important sources of fibres so an important resear...

Experience of insect herbivores and their natural enemies in the natal habitat is considered to affect their likelihood of accepting a similar habitat or plant/host during dispersal. Growing phenology of food plants and the number of generations in the insects further determines lability of insect behavioural responses at eclosion. We studied the effect of rearing history on oviposition prefere...

The ADI as a tool for risk management and regulation of food additives and pesticide residues is not readily applicable to inherent food plant toxicants: The margin between actual intake and potentially toxic levels is often small; application of the default uncertainty factors used to derive ADI values, particularly when extrapolating from animal data, would prohibit the utilisation of the foo...
