Physicochemical characterization of Jicaro seeds (Crescentia alata H.B.K.): a novel protein-rich and oleaginous seed
(2017-03)
Jicaro (Crescentia alata) is a tropical tree native to Mesoamerica well adapted to severe drought
conditions. The seeds of the fruits were analyzed for protein, fatty acid, dietary
fiber, phytate, polyphenol,
tannin, ...
Pasteurization of blackberry juice preserves polyphenol-dependent inhibition for lipid peroxidation and intracellular radicals
(2015-09)
Berries are commonly consumed as juice, and juice-processing conditions could affect their bioactive compounds. This study evaluated the effect of thermal treatments on the antioxidant capacity of blackberry juice polyphenols. ...
Sounds in Melipona costaricensis (Apidae: Meliponini): effect of sugar concentration and nectar source distance
(Apidologie 33 (2002) 375–388, 2002)
The principal finding presented here is that Melipona costaricensis produces sounds that vary significantly
in relation to varying sugar concentrations. Several components of the sounds produced, during the
bees’stay ...
Evaluation of a recent product to remove lipids and other matrix co-extractives in the analysis of pesticide residues and environmental contaminants in foods
(2016-06-03)
This study demonstrates the application of a novel lipid removal product to the residue analysis of 65 pesticides and 52 environmental contaminants in kale, pork, salmon, and avocado by fast, low pressure gas chromatography ...
Functional properties of coffee and coffee by-products
(2012-05)
Coffee, one of the most popular beverages, is consumed by millions of people every day. Traditionally, coffee beneficial effects have been attributed solely to its most intriguing and investigated ingredient, caffeine, but ...
Does a polyphagous caterpillar have the same gut microbiota when feeding on different species of food plants?
(Revista de Biología Tropical 50(2): 547-560, 2002, 2002)
We used classical culture techniques to explore gut bacteria and changes associated with dietary change in the highly polyphagous, tropical caterpillar Automeris zugana(Saturniidae). Fifty-five third instar wild-caught ...
Estimation of glycaemic index of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) cooked fruit and chips, and pitahaya (Hylocereus spp.) pulp
(2012)
The glycaemic index (GI) is a physiological measure of a food’s potential to increase postprandial blood glucose, as compared to the effect produced by food taken as reference, such as glucose or white bread. Currently ...
Modeling the effects of process conditions on the accumulated lethality values of thermally processed pickled carrots
(2015-05)
Shelf-stable pickled products are thermally processed to ensure safety and stability. Carrots packed in glass jars and processed in a boiling water bath were chosen to construct models to predict accumulated lethality ...
Individual differences in anticipatory activity to food rewards predict cue-induced appetitive 50-kHz calls in rats
(2015)
Reward-related stimuli come to acquire incentive salience through Pavlovian learning and become capable of
controlling reward-oriented behaviors. Here, we examined individual differences in anticipatory activity elicited
by ...
Microflora of maize prepared as tortillas
(1975-06)
Very little is known of the microflora in tortillas, the major component in the
diet of many Guatemalans and other Central Americans. Based in a Guatemalan
highland Indian village, this study examined the types and amounts ...
