a procedure for the in vitro evaluation of the toxicity of fava beans has been applied to 17 varieties of the bean and one batch of beans purchased on the open market; the latter consisted of unknown varieties. the procedure involves the incubation of a saline extract of the beans with red cells from normal individuals and with red cells from g6pd deficient patients. 2. normal red cells under t...

In vitro antioxidant activities and neuronal cell protective effects of ethanol extract from roasted coffee beans were investigated. Colombia arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) green beans were roasted to give medium (230°C, 10 min), city (230°C, 12 min) and french (230°C, 15 min) coffee beans. Total phenolics in raw green beans, medium, city and french-roasted beans were 8.81±0.05, 9.77±0.03, 9.9...

The beans function BG(x) of a connected graph G is defined as the maximum number of points on G such that any pair of points have distance at least x > 0. We shall exhibit lower and upper bounds of BG(x) for x < 1 and a class of graphs which have the same number of edges and whose beans functions distinguish them. Also, we give some non-isomorphic graphs which have the same beans function.

Aikpokpodion PE, Dongo LN (2010) Effects of fermentation intensity on polyphenols and antioxidant capacity of cocoa beans. Int. J. Sustain. Crop Prod. 5(4), 66-70. Cocoa beans were fermented for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days up to 6 days. Result showed that, polyphenols content of the fermented beans dropped from 16.11% on day 0 to 6.01% on day 6. The antioxidant capacity also dropped from 96% (IP) on ...
