Amino acids composition of Thryonomys swingerianus is reported. Whereas protein values (g100g⁻¹) had liver (74.1), kidney (91.5), heart (84.6); corresponding total amino acid values were 93.5, 83.2 and 80.6. True protein from the crude protein of the samples ran thus: liver>kidney>heart. Of the twenty parameters reported on, liver was best in 12/20 (60.0%), kidney and heart both shared the second...
In the present study, the effects of intermittent microwave-vacuum drying on the “Deveci” pear in terms of the drying kinetics, mineral content, protein content, rehydration ratio, color, energy, specific energy and microstructure were investigated. According to the drying treatments, increased microwave power (100 and 200 W) and vacuum (200 and 400 mmHg) applications provided higher drying rates...
Mitochondria are multifunctional organelles, primarily involved in the fundamental biological process of respiration. The efficient functioning of mitochondria depends on the proper transport, sorting, and assembly of mitochondrial proteins that originate either from nuclear or mitochondrial genomes. Both nuclear and mitochondrial gene defects that result in pathological variants of proteins have...
This paper focuses on the comparative study of emulsifying properties of dried tofu-whey, dried soy-whey and their isolated proteins. Oil-in-water emulsions were prepared at equivalent protein concentration (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 g/100 mL), using sunflower oil as lipid phase (oil mass fraction = 0.33). Tofu-whey and soy-whey were dehydrated by freeze-drying (LTW and LSW, respectively) or thermal-drying...
Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive body fat accumulation that may have negative effects on health. Healthy diet induces a balance of gut microbiota, helping in turn to combat this metabolic disorder. Amaranth is well known because of its beneficial properties on health, but its effects on microbiota profile are still unknown. The aim of this study was to analyse the changes of gut microbiota...
The objective of the research study was to apply near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to evaluate the quality of protein supplements available in the Polish shops and gyms. The evaluation was performed on the basis of the determination of the protein quantity contained in the individual samples by a Kjeldahl method and then the evaluation results were correlated with the measured NIR spectra using an...
Protein digestion in insects relies on several groups of proteases, among which trypsin plays a prominent role. In the current study, larvae of Pieris brassicae L. were fed radish leaves treated with 1 mM concentrations of three specific inhibitors of trypsin: AEBSF.HCl [4-(2- -aminoethyl)-benzenesulfonyl fluoride, monohydrochloride], TLCK (N-a-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone) and SBTI (Soybean...
Barley phylloplane is seriously colonized by Drechslera graminea, the causal agent of leaf stripe disease in the hos. The present study involved the elucidation of alterations induced in the protein content of the host due to Drechslera infection. Naturally growing barley plants were obtained from fields and Drechslera graminea was isolated and identified from diseased plants’ leaves. After identification...
Floral epidermal cells of most species of Bulbophyllum Thouars studied to date produce both lipid-rich foodrewards and fragrance. Since fragrances largely consist of terpenoids and have an affinity for lipophilic stains, the simultaneous presence of lipid-rich food-rewards frustrates identification of fragrance-secreting cells by conventional histochemistry. Furthermore, since both lipid-rich food-rewards...
The basis of the study was a three-year long field experiment, carried out on degraded Phaeozems, IIIb soil valuation class, with neutral pH and low richness in assimilable sulphur. Winter rapeseed cultivar Star was grown. The experiment was set up as a split-block design with two factors (n = 2): the first factor was nitrogen dose (in kg·haˉ¹: 0, 60, 120, and 180), and the second factor was sulphur...
