TiH distribution of sulphur in protein has long been a subject of interest, and the work of Osborne and numerous other investigators on the sulphur in vegetable proteins indicated the probable presence of at least two forms of organic sulphur; further, Dakin [1920] in his amino-acid analysis of gelatin found sulphur compounds other than cystine. The isolation of methionine [Mueller, 1921] and i...

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...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Extensive research has been performed worldwide and important evidences were collected to show the immense potential of plants used in various traditional therapeutic systems. The aim of this work is to investigate the different extracting solvents in terms of the influence of their polarity on the extracting ability of bioactive molecules (phenolic compounds) from the ...

Elderberry contains healthy low molecular weight nutraceuticals and lectins which are sequence-related to the elderberry allergen Sam n1. Some of these lectins are type II ribosome-inactivating proteins. The sensitivity of native lectins present in elderberry fruits and bark to the proteolysis triggered by in vitro simulated gastric and duodenal fluids has been investigated. It was found that t...
