A highly pure α-zein was extracted from corn flour using ethanol (95%). Subsequently, ion-exchange chromatography performed, SP-Sepharose that yielded a homogeneous protein. This protein migrated as single band in 20% SDS−PAGE and pH gradient gels, showing an isoelectric point of 6.8. Mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) showed peak with molecular mass 24 535 Da. It identified Z19, when comparing the sequence obtained automatic Edman sequencer Swissprot database BLAST. The molar extinction...
En México las numerosas variedades de maíces (Zea mays L.) nativos se utilizan para elaborar además la tortilla, una enorme cantidad preparaciones culinarias tradicionales, lo que hace del maíz uno los elementos fundamentales cocina nacional. Estos siguen siendo el sustento miles familias rurales mexicanas. Sin embargo, ante proceso globalización ha adoptado un estilo “moderno” alimentación tiende a sustituir platillos tradicionales por alimentos procesados, no necesariamente basados en...
Abstract Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) frequently presents as multifocal lesions with histologic and molecular heterogeneity. A comprehensive understanding of tumor immune responses within the context complex PCa microenvironment remains elusive. Through use Digital Pathology innovative Pathomics image analysis tools, infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can be mapped, visualized, quantified in whole slide images (WSIs) H&E stained slides. We have developed a novel workflow to map...
There is limited information on the effect of black beans (BB) as a source protein and resistant starch intestinal microbiota. The purpose present work was to study cooked with without high fat sugar (HF + S) in diet body composition, energy expenditure, gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids, NF-κB, occluding insulin signaling rat model area under curve for glucose, incretins healthy subjects. consumption BB reduced percentage fat, serum leptin, LPS, glucose concentrations increased...
In Mexico, maize tortillas are consumed on a daily basis, leading to possible aflatoxin exposure. survey of 396 2-kg samples, taken over four sampling days in 2006 and 2007 from tortilla shops supermarkets Mexico City, levels were quantified by HPLC. the regulatory limit is 12 µg kg⁻¹ total aflatoxins for tortillas. this survey, 17% contained at 3-385 or values below quantification (<LOQ) and, these, 13% >12 87% limit. Average concentrations 56 contaminated samples were: AFB1 (12.1 kg⁻¹);...
The palm honey (Sabal yapa C. Wright ex Becc.) henceforth) is one of 22 unifloral honeys recognised in the Yucatan Peninsula. This harvested February and March when Sabal bloom but encompasses other important melliferous plants during harvest season. A melissopalynological study 24 samples from Tizimín, (Mexico) was used to determine if monofloral or multifloral, investigate pollen contribution plants. Consequently, we determined plant resources foraged by Apis mellifera. After analysis, 54...
Summary The PDA 1 gene of the filamentous fungus Nectria haematococca MPVI (anamorph: Fusarium solani ) encodes pisatin demethylase, a cytochrome P450. Pisatin is fungistatic isoflavonoid produced by garden pea ( Pisum sativum ), host for this fungus. demethylase detoxifies and functions as virulence factor induces expression both in cultured mycelia well during pathogenesis on pea. regulatory element within that provides pisatin‐responsive was identified using combination vivo functional...
Corn gluten meal is a by-product of starch production that readily available. protein isolates have limited applications due to their hydrophobic nature, low solubility and functionality as emulsifiers. In this study, mild acidic treatment corn was performed in order achieve deamidation asparagine glutamine residues modify the interfacial behavior byproduct. A 0.1 N HCl for 6 h at 70 °C rendered degree 20.4%, which increased emulsification activity index from 6.8 16.8 m(2)/g protein, with...
The black bean is a legume widely consumed in Latin America, however its consumption has decreased significantly recent decades.
Between 6% and 11% of the world's population suffers from malnutrition or undernutrition associated with poverty, aging long-term hospitalization. The present work examined effect different types proteins on mechanistic target rapamycin (mTORC1)-signaling pathway in: (1) healthy; (2) protein restricted rats. In total, 200 rats were divided into eight groups fed one following diets: 20% casein (C), soy (S), black bean (B), B + Corn (BCr), Pea (P), spirulina (Sp), sesame (Se) (Cr). Rats C BCr...
Alkaline-cooked corn, called nixtamal, is the basis for many traditional corn products such as tortillas, chips, and taco shells that are used widely in Mexico Central America preparation of snack foods consumed globally. To assess effects alkaline thermal treatments on detectability DNA protein presence genetically modified sequences, various nixtamalized were prepared from blends conventional white containing 0.1, 1.0, 10% transgenic (event CBH 351, StarLink). Real-time quantitative...
Melliferous plants are natural source of nectar and pollen for honeybees their grains present in honey. The melissopalynological study Sabal yapa honey produced Yucatan has shown that eighteen species contribute importantly to its composition. We use melliferous associated with test the potential three barcodes (rbcL, ITS2, trnH-psbA) identification confirm botanical origin authentication Secondarily, we success rates amplification sequencing each barcode. A total 38 sequences were...
