Beta-conglycinin, one of the dominant storage proteins soybean, is a trimer composed three subunits, alpha, alpha' and beta. All subunits are N-glycosylated alpha contain extension regions in addition to core common all subunits. Non-glycosylated individual deletion mutants (alpha(c) alpha'(c)) lacking were expressed Escherichia coli. recombinant purified near homogeneity appeared have correct conformation, as judged by CD, density-gradient centrifugation gel-filtration profiles, indicating...
Commercial mezcals (white, white with worm, rested, rested and aged) produced from Agave salmiana were analyzed by solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS). Thirty-seven compounds identified, nine of them classified as major mezcal (MCM). Saturated alcohols, ethyl acetate, 2-hydroxypropanoate, acetic acid form the MCM group. Minor group include other aldehydes, ketones, large chain esters, organic acids, furans, terpenes, alkenes, alkynes. Most found in...
The larva of the Tenebrio molitor, known as yellow meal worm, is a plague wheat and flours. Consumption raw insects not well accepted because their appearance. objective present work was to grow T. molitor larvae under standard conditions, analyze chemical composition powder, prepare supplemented maize tortillas. Protein fat contents were performed with methods. powder had 58.4% protein content; this rich in essential amino acids such phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan; found values...
To identify the yeast and bacteria present in mezcal fermentation from Agave salmiana.The restriction sequence analysis of amplified region, between 18S 28S rDNA 16S genes, were used for identification bacteria, respectively. Eleven different micro-organisms identified fermentation. Three them following yeast: Clavispora lusitaniae, Pichia fermentans Kluyveromyces marxianus. The found Zymomonas mobilis subsp. pomaceae, Weissella cibaria, paramesenteroides, Lactobacillus pontis, kefiri,...
Canary grass is used as traditional food for diabetes and hypertension treatment. The aim of this work to characterize the biological activity encrypted peptides released after gastrointestinal digestion canary seed proteins. showed 43.5% inhibition dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) 73.5% angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity. An isolated perfused rat heart system was evaluate vasoactive effect. Nitric oxide (NO), a major vasodilator agent, evaluated in venous effluent from heart. (1...
Salt stress is one of the major factors limiting crop productivity worldwide. Amaranth a highly nutritious pseudocereal with remarkable nutraceutical properties; it also stress-tolerant plant, making an alternative for sustainable food production in semiarid conditions. A two-dimensional electrophoresis gel coupled liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approach was applied order to analyze changes amaranth root protein accumulation plants subjected salt under...
This study aimed to immobilise sucrase A (SacA) from Bacillus subtilis in E. coli using the AIDA-I system for whole-cell biocatalysis transform sucrose lactate. The pAIDA-sacA plasmid, containing sacA gene, was fused signal peptide of toxin subunit B Vibrio cholerae (ctxB) and autotransporter aida encoding a connector β-barrel domain system. plasmid employed strains W3110, WDHFAK, WDHFAP, which are unable naturally use sucrose. These were anaerobically cultured batch fermentations 10 g L−1...
Amaranth is a highly nutritious and non-allergenic crop with remarkable nutraceutical properties. Seed protein extracts following enzymatic digestion have been shown to inhibit Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE). A possible mechanism of action ACE inhibitor (ACEi) peptides involving the induction Nitric Oxide (NO) production through endogenous Synthase (eNOS) activation has proposed. The presence lunasin, peptide proven antitumoral properties, confirmed in amaranth seeds gene encoding...
Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are part of a large protein family that protect other from aggregation due to desiccation or osmotic stresses. Recently, the Amarantus cruentus seed proteome was characterized by 2D-PAGE and one highly accumulated spot identified as Embryogenesis Abundant named AcLEA. In this work, AcLEA cDNA cloned into an expression vector recombinant purified characterized. encodes 172 amino acid polypeptide with predicted molecular mass 18.34 kDa estimated pI...
Amaranth is a plant naturally resistant to various types of stresses that produces seeds excellent nutritional quality, so amaranth promising system for food production. wild relatives have survived climate changes and grow under harsh conditions, however no studies about morphological molecular characteristics their are known. Therefore, we carried out detailed characterization species A. powellii hybridus, compared them with the cultivated hypochondriacus (waxy non-waxy seeds) cruentus....
