In the present study, RE presented higher antioxidant capacity and content of total phenolic compounds than GTE. While main identified in were carnosic acid, carnosol rosmarinic GTE catechins, rutin gallic acid identifies compounds. Extracts incorporated into PLA active films, followed by evaluation its properties. The potential films to extend foods shelf-life was tested almonds beef. PLA/4GTE highest water vapor permeability opacity, while PLA/4RE O2 permeability. PLA/2 at end 10 days (at...
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi when they colonies the foodstuffs. These potent toxins having severe health consequences in people, being mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic. In agricultural commodities, contamination of mycotoxins is more prevalent. Several can produce on products during harvest or postharvest, have significant adverse effects both animal human beings. The most prevalent found food commodities aflatoxins ochratoxins Aspergillus species,...
Animal conflicts are influenced by social experience such that a previous winning increases the probability of next agonistic interaction, whereas losing has opposite effect. Since androgens respond to interactions, increasing in winners and decreasing losers, we hypothesized socially induced transient changes androgen levels could be causal mediator winner/loser effects. To test this hypothesis, staged fights between dyads size-matched males Mozambique tilapia ( Oreochromis mossambicus )....
