Cabbage contains the glucosinolate sinigrin, which is hydrolyzed by myrosinase to allyl isothiocyanate. Isothiocyanates are thought to inhibit the development of cancer cells by a number of mechanisms. The effect of cooking cabbage on isothiocyanate production from glucosinolates during and after their ingestion was examined in human subjects. Each of 12 healthy human volunteers consumed three ...

Inulin is a carbohydrate composed of linear chains of β-2,1-linked D-fructofuranose molecules terminated by a glucose residue through a sucrose-type linkage at the reducing end. Jerusalem artichoke (JA) is one of the most interesting materials among unconventional and renewable raw materials, with levels of inulin reaching 50-80% of dry matter. Inulin or inulin-rich materials can be actively hy...

Abstract Tamarind is a tropical fruit with relevant importance for family agriculture, and can be used as raw material ready-to-drink juice; however, there are few data in the literature associated tamarind juice storage stability. This work aimed to evaluate physicochemical, sensory microbiological stability of throughout at room temperature (~28 °C) 180 days. Two formulations were produced, c...

BACKGROUND The interest in potato juice as a therapeutic agent goes back to the 19th century but its application was not supported by any knowledge about biological activity of this raw material. Factors restricting the medical application of potato juice include its inattractive sensory and functional properties. The aim of the presented investigations was preliminary evaluation of the biologi...

BACKGROUND Environmental crisis and concerns for energy security have made the research for renewable fuels that will substitute the usage of fossil fuels an important priority. Biodiesel is a potential substitute for petroleum, but its feasibility is hindered by the utilization of edible vegetable oil as raw material, which is responsible for a large fraction of the production cost and fosters...

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to study the effects of proportions raw materials on antioxidant activities juices comprising mixtures apples and berries (mixed juice; MJ). Among four added, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus juice (ASJ) its interaction with other had most influence activities. The MJ optimized by blending 30% apple (AJ), 5% raspberry (RJ), 20% BJ, ASJ 25% wa...
