This article presents the results of a comprehensive toxicity assessment brazzein and monellin, yeast-produced recombinant sweet-tasting proteins. Excessive sugar consumption is one leading dietary nutritional problems in world, resulting health complications such as obesity, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease. Although artificial small-molecule sweeteners widely replace food, their safety long-term effects remain debatable. Many proteins, including thaumatin, miraculin, pentadin,...
Sweet-tasting proteins (SPs) are of plant origin initially isolated from tropical fruits. They thousands times sweeter than sucrose and most artificial sweeteners. SPs a class capable causing sweet taste sensation in humans when interacting with the T1R2/T1R3 receptor. SP thaumatin has already been introduced food industry some countries. Other SPs, such as monellin brazzein, promising products. An important stage researching addition to confirming absence toxicity, mutagenicity,...
This review considers a fascinating, from zoogeographical viewpoint, group of closely related species: Melitaea lutko Evans, 1932, M. timandra Coutsis & van Oorschot, 2014, mimetica Higgins, 1940 stat. rev. and shahvarica sp. nov. It is taxonomical geographical these species, data on the biology nominate subspecies are discussed. A new Shahvar Mt. (Iran), subspecies, binaludica subsp. Kuh-e-Binalud Mts described. The specific structure given in previous publications critically...
This article presents characteristics of the habitats and flying period Melitaea timandra Coutsis et Oorschot, 2014 describes behavior adults under natural conditions, their food plant, egg chorion morphology, caterpillars first senior instars. In addition, a larval parasitoid is identified as Cotesia sp., possible development cycle M. described.
This article presents characteristics of the habitats Melitaea gina Higgins, 1941 and describes behavior adults under natural conditions, their host plant, egg chorion, caterpillars, pupa morphology. The morphology early stages taxonomy M. are discussed.
