Extracellular proteolysis is a cellular activity of central importance as it is a key event for the modulation of the extracellular matrix during cell migration, epithelial morphogenesis and tumor metastasis. In recent years, thyrocytes have proved to be a useful model to study extracellular proteolysis mainly through the degradation of thyroglobulin (Tg) (Brix et al., 1996). Tg (Mercken et al....

One of the obstacles to melon cultivation is availability seeds and high price seeds. This condition causes need assemble superior varieties with expected characters. study aims form a pure line certain characteristics can be proposed as new high-yielding variety in open-pollinated category. The research was conducted at Experimental Garden Agrotechnology Study Program, Faculty Agriculture, Tru...

The brix of syrup is an important parameter in sugar production. To accurately measure brix, a novel measurement method based on support vector regression (SVR) presented. With the resonant frequency and quality factor as inputs output, mathematical model relationship between frequency, factor, established. Simultaneously, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm used to optimize penalty coe...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to estimate sugar content variation (°Brix) in 95 accessions from the elephant grass germplasm active bank Embrapa Dairy Cattle research center, located Coronel Pacheco, MG, Brazil. with highest were identified, and effect plant age on concentration evaluated. experiment conducted randomized blocks design two replications. Sugar analysis occurred twice ...

in this research, kiwifruits (hayward) were selected in two mass ranges (large and small). they were placed in one-liter glass bottles in the vicinity of the polyethylene sachets containing potassium permanganate nano-zeolite (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g) and were stored in a germinator (5°c temperature and 30% relative humidity). then, the physicochemical properties of the fruits (soluble solid cont...

Storage of 42° Brix Pineapple and Valencia orange concentrates at 40° F. resulted in in creased gelation, clarification, and apparent pulp content, whereas pectin decreased. Total glycosides, as hesperidin, remained constant in these products during storage. The experi mental packs heated at 1and 2-fold were more stable than those heated at 3and 4fold; also all of the Valencia concentrates, con...
