Garcinia dulcis or locally known in Malaysia as "mundu" belongs to the family of Clusiaceae. The study was conducted to investigate the anticancer potential of different parts of G. dulcis fruit extracts and their possible mechanism of action in HepG2 liver cancer cell line. MTT assay showed that the peel, flesh, and seed extracts of G. dulcis induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cell line with IC50 v...

Myoglobin is known to be present exclusively in cardiac and red skeletal muscles, but not in white skeletal muscles. Thus, to date, only a few studies on myoglobin from fish species with white flesh have been reported. For comparative examination, we directly isolated myoglobin from cardiac muscle of hoki (Macruronus magellanicus), one of the most important commercial fish species with white mu...

In this study, we selected four different color fleshed sweet potatoes, purple(Jizi 01), red(Xinong 431), yellow(Beijing 553) and white(Shangshu 19) fleshed cultivars as test materials, analyzed nutrient composition, dietary fiber content, anthocyanins quantification, and total phenolics content, and also measured their total antioxidant activity in four different types of sweet potato. In view...

Sixteen carotenoids were isolated from the flesh of Brazilian red guavas (Psidium guajava L.). Their structures were established by means of UV-visible, 400 and 500 MHz (1)H NMR, 120 and 125 MHz (13)C NMR, mass, and circular dichroism spectra. The carotenoids were identified as phytofluene, (all-E)-, (9Z)-, (13Z)-, and (15Z)-beta-carotene, (all-E)-gamma-carotene, (all-E)-, (9Z)-, (13Z)-, and (1...

Eruptive vellus hair cysts were first reported by Esterly, Fretzin and Pinkus in 1977. They described two children who developed asymptomatic papular eruptions over the chest and mentioned two other cases, also children, who presented after submission of the original manuscript. Histology revealed a mid-dermal cyst lined by squamous epithelium containing keratinous material and vellus hairs. Le...

We analyzed the red-fleshed apple cultivar ‘Baya Marisa’ and compared it with traditional, white-fleshed ‘Golden Delicious’. The objective of this study was to compare sugars, organic acids, phenolic compounds widely known consumed In addition, flesh firmness, color, soluble solid content studied. A total 46 were quantified identified, some for first time in apples. showed that (TAPC) 1.6× high...

The present study was conducted to assess the suitability of blends of two sweet potato (creamand yellowflesh) varieties and maize flours in the preparation of crunchy snacks. Each of the sweet potato varieties was prepared into flour and separately blended with 0, 30 and 50% of maize flour. The blends were evaluated for proximate composition, mineral content, vitamin content, anti-nutrient fac...

BACKGROUND Granulomatous rosacea is considered a clinical variant of rosacea and is characterized by hard yellow, brown, red or flesh-colored cutaneous papules or nodules that may be severe and may lead to scarring. The lesions typically appear on the cheeks and periorificial lesions; they are monomorphic in each patient and sit on relatively normal-appearing skin. The diagnosis should be estab...

A methodology for achieving brighter, more colorful colors and deeper, darker colors based on Evans’ zero gray ( G0) 1 and his concept of brilliance as a percept in color vision was demonstrated in media produced under current digital video and digital cinema standards – basically the sRGB set of primaries. Objects or surfaces in a scene represented in sRGB as having gray content in the Evans s...
