Abstract Alcalase hydrolyzates were prepared from the albumin (AH) and globulin (GH) fractions of eight chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes Mexico 10 other countries. Protein content, antioxidant activity (AA) (ABTS, DPPH), degree hydrolysis evaluated best genotype was selected by principal component analysis. The chosen analyzed for its antidiabetic potential measured as inhibition α‐amylase, α‐glucosidase, dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP4). Peptide profiles obtained liquid...
Chickpeas are rich sources of highly nutritious protein and dietary fibre; the health benefits consuming legumes such as antioxidant activity (AoxA) could be effective for expansion their food uses. The technological properties potential five pigmented chickpea cultivars were evaluated. Protein content grains varied from 24.9 to 27.4 g/100 g sample (dw). cooking time (CT) whole ranged 90.5 218.5 min; lowest CT corresponded Black ICC3761 cultivar. total phenolic (TPC) AoxA [oxygen radical...
Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly emerged responsible for disease 2019 (COVID-19); it become pandemic since March 2020. To date, there have been described three lineages of SARS-CoV-2 circulating worldwide, two them are found among Mexican population, within these, we observed mutations spike (S) protein located at amino acids H49Y, D614G, and T573I. understand if these could affect the structural behavior S SARS-CoV-2, as well binding with...
Mexico, the center of origin maize (Zea mays L.), has taken actions to preserve identity and diversity landraces wild relatives. Historically, spatial isolation been used in seed production maintain purity. Spatial can also be a key component for strategy minimize pollen-mediated gene flow Mexico between transgenic sexually compatible plants conventional hybrids, landraces, The objective this research was generate field maize-to-maize outcrossing data help guide coexistence discussions...
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants exhibiting symptoms resembling those of permanent yellowing disease (known in Mexico as "permanente del tomate") that is commonly associated with phytoplasmas (1) were observed tomato fields Sinaloa, México March 2009. Plant also resembled caused by "Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum" infection (2). Affected showed an overall chlorosis, severe stunting, leaf cupping, purple discoloration veins, excessive branching axillary shoots, and scorching (1,2)....
ABSTRACT Nixtamalized and extruded flours from quality protein maize (QPM, V‐537C) tortillas made them were evaluated for some technological nutritional properties compared with the commercial brand MASECA. Both QPM showed higher ( P < 0.05) content, total color difference, pH, available lysine, lower starch Hunter L value, water absorption index, gelatinization enthalpy, resistant starch, retrograded than nixtamalized MASECA flour. Tortillas had contents of essential amino acids flour,...
In the state of Sinaloa México, traditional farmers still cultivate maize accessions with a wide diversity morphological characteristics, but gene reservoir maintained in these populations has been poorly studied and it is being lost due to changes land use adoption hybrid commercial varieties. The aim this study was evaluate genetic some contribute their preservation. Twenty eight were used for analysis. DNA extracted from 396 individuals probed 20 microsatellites distributed across genome....
A new disease on greenhouse pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants in Culiacan, Mexico with symptoms of chlorosis, wilting and vascular necrosis was observed 2014. Sixty diseased were collected from three different areas the Culiacan Valley to determine causal agent analyse potential risk presented by this region. Fusarium oxysporum recovered consistently (88% samples collected) identified based cultural, morphological pathogenicity tests, as well PCR amplification DNA sequencing TEF-1α gene....
Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) plants exhibiting symptoms that resembled those of potato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli Sulc) damage and “Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum” infection (2) were observed in a field La Cruz de Elota, Sinaloa, México March 2009, with an rate 1.5%. Plants exhibited chlorotic or pale green apical growth leaf cupping, sharp tapering the apex, shortened internodes, overall stunting (2). Total DNA was extracted from top whole tissue nine symptomatic five...
Environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) crops is a process to evaluate whether the biotechnology trait(s) in GM crop may result increased pest potential or harm environment. In this analysis, two insect-resistant (IR) herbicide-tolerant maize hybrids (MON-89Ø34-3 × MON-88Ø17-3 and MON-89Ø34-3 MON-ØØ6Ø3-6) one hybrid (MON-ØØ6Ø3-6) were compared with conventional similar genetic backgrounds. Two sets studies, Experimental Phase Pilot Phase, conducted across five...
Giardia duodenalis is a significant cause of waterborne and foodborne infections, day-care center outbreaks, traveler’s diarrhea worldwide. In protozoa such as Trichomonas vaginalis Entamoeba histolytica, iron affects the growth, pathogenicity mechanisms, expression virulence genes. One proposed regulatory mechanisms at post-transcriptional level through an IRE/IRP-like (iron responsive element/iron protein) system. Recently, many putative giardial factors in free-iron levels has been...
Abstract Chickpeas ( Cicer arietinum L) develop the hard‐to‐cook (HTC) defect during storage at high temperatures (>25 °C) and relative humidities (RH>65%). The objective of this work was to assess tendency chickpea varieties become HTC. Three samples chickpeas (Surutato 77, Mocorito 88 Blanco Sinaloa 92) were grown under irrigation conditions. Two hardening procedures used: (1) hardening—samples stored 33–35 °C 76% humidity for 160 days; (2) chemical hardening—materials soaked in 0.1...
Abstract The physiological disorder of yellow berry (YB) in wheat is characterized by starchy or mealy spots the grains, and it present mainly irrigated crops. YB grains have characteristic low protein content. This a problem that has been increasing bread durum northern part Mexico. Limited availability nitrogen considered to be main cause. Starch normal were analyzed properties compared. had higher percent crystallinity, as demonstrated X‐ray diffraction DSC studies. Differences pasting...
The current market demands gluten-free (GF) foods with better nutritional/nutraceutical value. In this study, a functional GF beverage (GFB) from flours mixture of optimized extruded quinoa (OEQ) (70%) and defatted chia (EDC) (30%) was developed. To obtain OEQ, central composed experimental design two factors (extrusion temperature [TE] = 60 °C-140 °C screw speed [VT] rpm-240 rpm) three responses (antioxidant activity [AoxA], total phenolic compounds [TPC], in vitro protein digestibility...
