African yam bean (Spenostylis stenocarpa) protein isolate was hydrolyzed with pancreatin (was purchased from sigma chemicals, St Loius Missouri, USA) to obtain an hydrolysate that has (42% degree of hydrolysis), which was characterized for its amino acid composition and ability to scavenge free radicals. The African yam bean protein isolate and hydrolysate samples were dried to constant weight,...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the antioxidant activity of germinated African Yam Bean (AYB) on oxidative stress markers in alloxan induced diabetic rat. Rats were randomized into three groups; control, diabetic and germinated AYB – treated diabetic rats. The Total phenol and flavonoid content and DPPH radical scavenging activity before and after germination were investig...

Abstract A conductive, elastic, and biocompatible hybrid network hydrogel was prepared by cross-linking of locust bean gum, polyvinyl alcohol, carbon nanotubes, yielding a rough top surface smooth bottom surface. The merging the two pieces flat face to forms highly elastic with double-rough surfaces. piezoresistive sensor assembled sandwiched between cloth electrodes exhibits high sensitivity (...

The present study aimed to manufacture active biodegradable films from soy protein isolate (SPI), locust bean gum (LBG) and caruru blackjack leaf extract. interaction between the compounds was evaluated through analysis of FTIR. effect extract addition on microstructure, mechanical properties, antioxidant capacity, UV radiation absorption color opacity film were evaluated. All extracts interact...
