The objective herein was to evaluate the effect of processing, packaging type (with and without exposure light) storage time on quality functional attributes jelly prepared from curriola pulp. experimental design a completely randomized 2 × 5 factorial design, with two levels (transparent amber) five periods (0, 3, 6, 9 12 months). In general, processing pulp determined slight increase in pheno...

background: wharton’s jelly is an unlimited source of stem cells that can be used in cell therapy and tissue engineering without any ethical concern. it has been revealed the cell-free extract could be effective to induce cell differentiation. the objective of this study was to induce wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) into hepatocyte-like cells by premeabilization of the cel...

The nutritional needs of bees are supplied by nectar carbohydrates and by protein and other nutrients in pollen but little is known of how bees achieve nutritional balance. Using newly emerged caged worker honeybees (Apis mellifera scutellata), we investigated whether bees maintain their intake target when confined to pairs of imbalanced complementary diets varying in protein to carbohydrate (P...

This study evaluated the impact of processing, packages (amber and transparent glass jars), storage time on stability bioactive compounds (total phenolic vitamin C), antioxidant activity mangaba jelly. Jelly significantly (p < 0.05) decreased activity. The time, influenced all variables studied in this work, although they were not affected by packages. A significant decrease was observed during...

background royal jelly (rj), a food item secreted by worker honeybees, is a mixture that contains protein, glucose, lipid, vitamins, and minerals; it is widely used as a commercial medical product. previous studies have shown that rj has a number of physiological effects, such as anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiallergic and antioxidant activities. objectives in the present study, the anti-inf...

conclusions it seems that rj does not appear to have significant immediate effects on glycemic factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. however, further studies with larger sample sizes and different doses of rj are needed to achieve more precise results. background type 2 diabetes is the fourth major public health problem worldwide. royal jelly (rj) insulin-like activity and blood glucose mod...

This paper presents a study on the transfer and metabolism of triadimefon residues from rape flowers to apicultural products. In the field trials, honeybee colonies were placed in four rape greenhouses treated with triadimefon on standard dosage. Apicultural products (pollen, honey, and royal jelly) were collected on a regular basis. Sample preparation and extraction procedure were established....

Objective: Umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly as source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be easily obtained. In this study, MSCs were isolated from bone marrow and Wharton’s jelly and induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cells. Materials and Methods: MSCs were isolated and induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cells using vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The endothe...

The inner egg capsule of embryos of the yellow-spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) are routinely colonized by green algae, such as Oophila amblystomatis, that supply O(2) in the presence of light and may consume nitrogenous wastes, forming what has been proposed to be a mutualistic relationship. Given that A. maculatum have been reported to breed in acidic (pH <5.0) and neutral lakes, we h...
