The aim of the present study was to isolate, identify and observe antibacterial activity of the endophytic fungi against some pathogenic bacteria as well as to optimize various parameters for maximum production of antibacterial bioactive compounds. Endophytic fungi were isolated from Menthe viridis collected from Khamariya, Jabalpur M.P. (India). Screening of endophytic fungi for in-vitro antib...

BACKGROUND The dry root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Danshen in Chinese) is an used-widely traditional Chinese herbal medicine with and promising efficacy. This herbal plant has been extensively cultivated in China. Currently, people usually rely on its morphological features to evalaute its pharmaceutical quality. In this study, laser micro-dissection system (LMD) was applied to isolate singl...

AIMS To identify novel antibiotic-producing microbial strains with unprecedented pertinence. We hypothesize that site-specific soil samples will contain a variety of antibiotic-producing species (APS) with diverse specificity of molecular elements. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Laboratory of Microbiology, Division of Biological and Health Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, Bradford, PA-16701, ...

Turnera aphrodisiacaWard (Turneraceae) has been traditionally used for the treatment of anxiety neurosis and as aphrodisiac, but no attempts have been made to investigate the plant systematically for its traditional claims. The current investigation was carried out ot isolate the bioactive constituent(s) from T. aphrodisiaca using bioactivity-guided fractionation. Antianxiety activityguided fra...

turmeric (curcuma longa l.) is extensively used as a spice, food preservative and colouring material. it has been used in traditional medicine for various diseases. curcumin, the main yellow bioactive component of turmeric has been shown to have a wide spectrum of biological actions. heretofore, it has been reported that natural colored extracts isolated from turmeric rhizomes with many methods...

Whey protein hydrolysates are important food emulsifiers and bioactive ingredients. This study investigated the stability of whey isolate (WPI) peptide fraction nanoemulsions under representative processing storage conditions: pH (3–9), ion concentration (Na+, 0–200 mm Ca2+, 0–15 mm), thermal treatment (30–90 °C) freeze–thawing. Bioactive fractions, UC–10 UP–10, were obtained by ultrafiltration...

Four different model infant formulae were compared under simulated conditions of the gastrointestinal tract using an in vitro dynamic digestion protocol. These based on whey protein isolate, isolate + lactoferrin, long chain triacylglycerols or medium triacylglycerols. In each four cases, influence and lipid composition their subsequent structural disintegration, proteolysis lipolysis during wa...

This manuscript focuses on the production of polymeric matrices enriched in minerals and antioxidant compounds. The biopolymers employed are obtained from different by-products agro-food industry (porcine plasma protein, pea protein concentrate soy isolate), which helps to revalorize them. Two manufacturing techniques produce these matrices: 3D-printing injection molding. Bioactivity was enhanc...

Elektrokinetické vlastnosti zmesí minerálov Elektroforetický rozptyl svetla (ELS) je nová experimentálna technika umožňujúca merať spectrum elektroforetickej pohyblivosti alebo zeta (ξ) potenciálu skupiny častíc. Toto spectrum odráža distribúciu náboja a čiastočne distribúciu rozmeru týchto častíc. Avšak, okrem modálnej hodnoty napr. zeta potenciálu častíc rovnakého druhu, z ELS spektra môžeme ...
