A síntese de uma plataforma molecular para materiais líquido-cristalinos derivados do ácido 3-arilisoxazolil-5-carboxílico (1) e do 5-(hidroximetil)-3-aril-2-isoxazolina (2) é descrita. Os intermediários 1 e 2 são obtidos através da reação de cicloadição [3+2] 1,3-dipolar entre arilóxidos de nitrilas e os dipolarófilos ácido acrílico e álcool alílico, respectivamente. Os compostos cristais líqu...

The ratio of cis and all-trans lycopene (LYC) in human and animal tissues exceeds that in foods. The basis for this difference remains unknown, although differences in their stability, transport, and metabolism have been suggested. Here, we systematically compared the digestive stability, efficiency of micellarization, and uptake and intracellular stability of cis and all-trans isomers of LYC a...

Arils from six pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) varieties grown in the Mediterranean region of Turkey were tested for their antimicrobial properties by the agar diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods against seven bacteria: (Bacillus megaterium DSM 32, Pseudomonas aeruginosa DSM 9027, Staphylococcus aureus Cowan 1, Corynebacterium xerosis UC 9165, Escherichia coli DM, Ente...

Aril browning threatens production, consumption, and exports of pomegranates, because affected fruit cannot be externally distinguished from healthy fruit. This study compared the mineral, biochemical composition, and related enzyme activities in affected brown arils with healthy ones in ‘Malase Saveh’ pomegranates. The results indicated that concentrations of Cu in the aril and K, Mg, and Mn i...

abstract pomegranate (punica granatum l.) is an important iranian-native fruit, and many of its varieties are cultivated. this research was conducted to evaluate some of the major physical and chemical properties of six pomegranate cultivars at ripening stage in a completely randomized design with 4 replications. the investigated traits were fruit fresh weight, fruit volume, peel thickness, pee...
