A soluble wall-associated common protein (WAP) has been isolated from cell wall-extracted antigens of exponentially growing cells of Streptococcus sanguis OMZ9, two serotypes (a and e), of Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces viscosus OMZ104. The WAP antigens from the different strains were obtained by chromatography on an anti-rabbit immunoglobulin column of sodium dodecyl sulfate-dissociated ...

INTRODUCTION Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has increased among youth in recent decades, accounting for approximately 13% of total calories consumed. The Boston Public Schools passed a policy restricting sale of sugar-sweetened beverages in Boston schools in June 2004. The objective of this study was to determine whether high school students' consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages d...

EULER & ADLER [1935] recently described the preparation from yeast of a cell-free enzyme, "heterophosphatese" which catalyses the transference of phosphate from (muscle) adenosinetriphosphate to glucose or fructose with the formation of a hexosephosphate. Later Meyerhof [1935] showed that preparations of hexokinase contain "heterophosphatese". The natural inference from these experiments is tha...

Sugar metabolism is one of the important factors involved in winter hardiness and since the discovery of sucrose biosynthesis, considerable advances have been made in understanding its regulation and crucial role. This investigation examined the changes in activities of sucrose metabolizing enzymes and sugar content during cold hardening of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Changes in aci...

Nutrition labels on food items provide valuable information to consumers. To ensure authenticity, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) checks the reported values on the nutrition labels. This Application Note shows a total sugar analysis method for commercially available maple syrup using the Agilent 1260 Infinity Binary LC system coupled with the Agilent 1260 Infinity Refractive Index Detect...

the postharvest vase life of cut roses was studied to determine the effects of various physiological factors that influence the vase life of cut flower. cut roses were obtained from commercial area of siliguri. to assess the effect of preservatives on the postharvest life of rose, cut flowers were treated with following preservative solutions: fixed amount of citric acid (ca) (300 mg/ml) and 8-...

Andrographis paniculata Nees is traditionally known as Kalmegh, Allelopathic effect of Kalmegh was examined on seed germination and seedling growth of four (Sonalika, VL-914, Euguanda-6 and Mond’s Aids) wheat genotype, the aqueous leaf extracts reduced seed germination and seedling growth of wheat. On the basis of value of per cent reduction in seed germination, germination relative index and v...

PALAVRAS-CHAVE Manihot esculenta Crantz Cianeto Carotenoides Proteína ABSTRACT: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a plant from the Brazilian Amazonia which presents wide genetic variability. Since it is one of the most consumed foods in the world, efforts to generate more nutritive cultivars are necessary. The objective of the present study was to characterize twenty genotypes of cassava fr...

Tomatoes are a globally cultivated and popular vegetable. The output quality of tomatoes significantly influenced by the use organic fertilizers. It was discovered that fertilizers increase tomato productivity improve fruit quality. influence on yield is shown to be complex dependent soil matter, total nitrogen, kinds, other variables. In this review paper, we evaluated 769 data sets from 107 r...

The demand for the development of functional and nutrients-rich products boosting immunity is prime focus consumers. carrot pomace, a potential by-product juice, was used to develop fortified sweet corn porridge. Response surface methodologies optimization process parameters, like, proportion pomace (10–50 g/100 g), milk (50–250 mL/100 sugar (12–20 cooking time (10–20 min) were selected assess ...
