Frutalin is an alpha-D-galactose-binding lectin expressed in breadfruit seeds. Its isolation from plant is time-consuming and results in a heterogeneous mixture of different lectin isoforms. In order to improve and facilitate the availability of the breadfruit lectin, we cloned an optimised codifying frutalin mature sequence into the pPICZalphaA expression vector. This expression vector, design...

This study evaluated the proximate composition, loaf quality attributes and sensory acceptability of gluten free bread produced from breadfruit flour as affected by soy flour. Five samples containing in following proportions 100%:0%; 95%:5%; 90%:10%; 85%:15% 80%:20% respectively, were produced. Dough yield these flours was estimated using sourdough method for (loaf height, specific volume, firm...

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a global health threat. Traditional herbals and dietary plants with medicinal values have long antiviral history and, thus, are extensively studied in COVID-19 therapeutics development. Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) food crop rich nutrient composition. This study screened selected bre...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical and sensory characteristics muffins produced from mocaf, orange sweet potato flour, breadfruit starch, starch with various comparisons. A non-factorial completely randomized design (CRD) used make muffin formulation (P) ratio 70%:15%:5%:5%:5%, 60%:20%:10%:5%:5%, 50%:25%:15%:5%:5%, 40%:30%:20%:5%:5%,30%:35%:25%:5%:5%,20%:40%...
