The methylcellulose was mixed with chitosan as well 4% of sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate to form a film. Investigations the antimycotic activity film on Penicillium notatum and Rhodotorula rubra revealed that it possessed significant antifungal properties. At 25C, approximately 43–45% preservatives were released from glycerol-water mixture in first 30 min. maximum amount preservative could be at 25C 57–65%. 4C, 38–39% within min, reached 49% 6h. FT-IR spectrum showed ionic interaction...

This study compared the differences of two types buckwheat sprouts, namely, common ( Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and tartary tataricum (L.) Gaertn.), in general composition, functional components, antioxidant capacity. The ethanol extracts sprouts (TBS) had higher reducing power, free radical scavenging activity, superoxide anion activity than those (CBS). As for chelating effects on ferrous ions, CBS values TBS. Rutin was major flavonoid found these TBS 5 fold rutin CBS. human hepatoma...

The purpose of the present study was to fabricate polymeric nanoparticles as drug carriers for encapsulated curcumin with enhanced anti-colorectal cancer applications. Nanoparticles were formulated from chitosan and gum arabic, natural polysaccharides, via an emulsification solvent diffusion method. formation confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy differential scanning calorimeter. results show that entrapped in +48 mV, 136 nm size, high encapsulation efficiency (95%). Based on...

This study investigated the effect of curcumin on colorectal cancer stem cells (CCSCs) and its possible mechanism. Comparison metabolic profiles human adenomatous polyp (N = 61) (CRC) 57) tissue found statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in their composition adenosine monophosphate (AMP), adenine, 5'-methythioadenosine, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, prostaglandin E2, threonine, glutamine. Our cell culture model that treatment (50 μM for 48 h) did indeed increase apoptosis CRC as well...

ABSTRACT Flux in hollow fiber ultrafiltration of skimmilk was modelled over the entire pressure‐flux region using resistance approach. The Hagen‐Poiseuille model adequate to describe water flux data: effect temperature could be largely accounted for by viscosity permeate. To data, modified include a term due polarized layer (R P ) and R F , fouling specific membrane‐solute interactions. relatively independent operating parameters, but p function velocity feed concentration at particular...

The objective of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity ethanolic extract mycelia from Ganoderma lucidum (EMG) cultivated in a medium containing leguminous plants Glycine max (L.) Merr. and Astragalus membranaceus on human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (Hep 3B) isolate active components EMG. results indicated that EMG induced dose- time-dependent manner, treated with for 24, 48, 72 h had IC(50) values 156.8, 89.9, 70.1 microg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, fractionated into seven...

ObjectiveTo assess the hematopoietic effects of Angelica sinensis and to investigate possible mechanism related its activity.Materials MethodsThe crude extract (AS) was separated into two fractions, polysaccharides (ASPS) small molecular weight compounds. The AS, ASPS, compounds were incubated with mice spleen cells obtain conditioned mediums, then their activities evaluated by granulocyte macrophage (GM) colony-forming assay in vitro. During vivo test, we used that bled approximately 0.5 mL...

Abstract BACKGROUND: During slaughter a hog produces approximately 3 L of blood. However, only small proportion porcine blood is currently used in food, feed or fertiliser, most it being treated as waste and discarded. In this study the possibility hydrolysing proteins by enzyme membrane reactor for production bioactive peptides was investigated. Red corpuscles, plasma defibrinated were hydrolysed various proteases, hydrolysates evaluated properties. RESULTS: The hydrolysate produced red...

In the present study, invertase-mediated nanogold clusters were synthesized on onion membranes, and their application for sucrose biosensor fabrication was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy revealed free nanoparticles of various sizes (diameter ~5 to 50 nm) along with (~95 200 surface inner epidermal membranes onions (Allium cepa L.). Most polydispersed spherical, although some square shaped, triangular, hexagonal or rod-shaped. Ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometric...

The effects of moisture, oil, starch, calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide on the colour texture properties surimi gels were studied. Increasing moisture or oil contents raised L * values but reduced b values. Calcium increased values, while potato starch decreased addition up to 8% level affected textural properties, increasing content maintaining final constant could significantly decrease hardness gels.

The 4-acetylantroquinonol B isolated from the mycelium of Antrodia cinnamomea could inhibit proliferation hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2 with IC50 0.1 μg/mL. When were treated for 72 h, proportion in G1 phase cell cycle increased and that S decreased significantly, G2/M not obviously changed. In addition, treatment resulted decreases CDK2 CDK4, an increase p27 a dose-dependent manner. protein levels p53 p21 proteins also when low dosage (0.1 μg/mL) B. Higher dosages, however,...
