UNLABELLED Ten different varieties of tomatoes were separated into peel and flesh and each portion was measured separately. Headspace volatiles were measured in real time using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry. Lipoxygenase activity was measured using the adsorption of conjugated dienes formed by lipoxygenase. Lipid was extracted and fatty acids were quantified using a gas chromatograph...

In a previous investigation 2 the writers studied the vitamin B content of poultry flesh and eggs. In this paper they report the results of experiments conducted with rats for the purpose of determining the vitamin A value of the body flesh and fat of several species of domestic fowl. These tests were made on fowls reared under ordinary conditions and fed rations which were in general use. The ...

Watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) is a natural and rich source of the non-essential amino acid citrulline. Citrulline is used in the nitric oxide system in humans and has potential antioxidant and vasodilatation roles. A method using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed to separate citrulline from glutamic acid, which co-elute when analyzed by high performance liquid...

Flesh and osteoderms of estuarine crocodiles (C. porosus) from Kakadu National Park, Northern Australia, were analysed for a range of metals, including uranium, to assess their capability for accumulation, in relation to their catchment-specific exposure to i) uranium mine effluents and mineralisation and ii) lead shot ammunition through their consumption of fauna shot by the traditional owners...

The aim of this study was to determine that the total anthocyanin content (TAC) and antioxidant activity (AOA) in potato flesh with different colours grown in the Czech Republic. Four yellowor white-, six purpleand four red-fleshed varieties were grown in 2009 at two different sites (Valečov – highland, seed potato area at 460 m a.s.l., Přerov nad Labem – lowland, new potatoes area at 178 m a.s...
