Interface and aroma barrier properties of iota-carrageenan emulsion–based films used for encapsulation of active food compounds
2009
Abstract Food quality preservation requires that the initial properties of the food products be maintained by protecting them from the environment and by limiting the gain or loss of external matter. Barrier edible films can preserve food quality by controlling moisture transfer, oxygen uptake or the loss of volatile aroma compounds. Edible films made of iota-carrageenans display interesting advantages: good mechanical properties, stabilization of emulsions and reduction in oxygen transfer. Moreover, lipid globules incorporated as emulsion-based films can be the carriers for the encapsulation of active volatile molecules such as flavor compounds. Such films also enhance the barrier properti…
The Influence of Scalded Flour, Fermentation, and Plants Belonging to Lamiaceae Family on the Wheat Bread Quality and Acrylamide Content
2018
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of additives such as plants belonging to Lamiaceaefamily (Thymus vulgaris, Carum carvi, Origanum vulgare, Ocimum basilicum, and Coriandrum sativum), scalded flour (SF) or scalded flour fermented with Lactobacillus plantarumLUHS135 (SFFLp) on the quality and acrylamide formation in wheat bread. The formation of acrylamide and bread quality significantly depended on the king of plants used and the amount of SF and SFFLp used. The additives of T. vulgarisand SF increased the content of acrylamide by 3.4-fold in comparison with bread prepared without SF, whereas the addition of SFFLp significantly reduced the content of acrylamide in bread,…
Factors affecting shoot proliferation and vitrification inDigitalis obscura cultures
1992
Variations of composition and consistency of the culture medium and time of exposure to growth regulators were assayed to optimize normal caulogenic response ofDigitalis obscura hypocotyls cultured in vitro. The effects of the culture conditions on physiologic changes related to vitrification of the regenerated plants were also investigated. Liquid medium increased the bud-forming capacity of the explants but induced buds failed to develop into shoots and showed symptoms of vitrification. On agar-solidified media, maximum multiplication rates were achieved with 0.7% agar. Increasing agar concentration reduced vitrification but lowered the propagation rate. Changes in the strength of the mac…
Tetronciumand its only species,T. magellanicum(Juncaginaceae): distribution, ecology and lectotypification
2013
Abstract Mering S. von: Tetroncium and its only species, T. magellanicum (Juncaginaceae): distribution, ecology and lectotypification. — Willdenowia 43: 13–24. June 2013. — Online ISSN 1868–6397; © 2013 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. Stable URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3372/wi.43.43102 Tetroncium magellanicum (Juncaginaceae) was described by Willdenow in 1808, based on material collected by Commerson at the Strait of Magellan during Bougainville's voyage around the world. Type material of this species was traced and a lectotype for the name is designated. A description of the species and notes on its ecology and conservation status are provided. For the first time, a detailed map showing the known distri…
Susceptibility of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to vibriosis due to Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 (serovar E)
2002
The present study documents the susceptibility of Nile tilapia to the experimental vibriosis caused by Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 (serovar E) using a reference strain (Spanish Collection of Type Cultures, CECT 4604) selected for its high degree of virulence for eels. The biotype 1 of this species is one of the usual organisms involved in epizootics occurred in tilapia. After intraperitoneal injection, the selected strain developed a haemorrhagic septicaemia similar to eel vibriosis with a LD50 four log units lower than that exhibited by the type strain of the species, which belongs to the biotype 1. The results obtained in waterborne and intubation challenges indicated that water and feed …
Importance and efficiency of in-depth antimicrobial activity for the control of listeria development with nisin-incorporated sodium caseinate films
2010
Abstract The effect of antimicrobial sodium caseinate-based films was investigated on inhibition of Listeria innocua in cheese. Nisin was incorporated into sorbitol-plasticized sodium caseinate films at 1000 IU/cm2 and the films were prepared by casting methods. Mini red Babybel® cheese was chosen as a semi-soft cheese model. The antimicrobial activity was studied based on the contact between antimicrobial films and surface-contaminated as well as in-depth contaminated cheese samples during a 7-day storage at 4 °C. The active films produced resulted in a reduction of 1.1 log CFU/g reduction in L. innocua counts in surface-inoculated cheese samples after 1 week of storage as compared to cont…
Variation of Terpenoids Constituents in Natural Population ofCinnamomum tamala(L.) Leaves
2009
Abstract The leaves of Cinnamomum tamala L. (Lauraceae) were collected from seven plants occurring in seven different areas of Manipur and analyzed for their essential oil and eugenol contents using GC and GC/MS. The yield of the oil was found to vary from 1.5–5.6% (w/w), on a dry weight basis. A total of 79 compounds were identified in the oils. Eugenol was found as a major compound in the leaf oils and its concentration varied from 35.1–94.3% followed by α-phellandrene (1.0–25.4%).
Pythium periplocum, an aggressive mycoparasite of Botrytis cinerea causing the gray mould disease of grape-vine.
1999
Pythium periplocum Dreschler has been found to be an aggressive mycoparasite of Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of the gray mould disease of the grape-vine. When grown together, the former enters the latter's mycelium, branches freely within, coagulates its cytoplasm and finally tears its hyphae apart, bringing about widespread destruction of the grape-vine pathogen. Extensive coiling around the host, as reported in the case of other mycoparasites belonging to the genus Pythium, has not been observed here. The infected mycelium of B. cinerea fails to infect the grape-vine and does not induce the characteristic gray mould symptoms. Since P. periplocum is not a grape-vine parasite, it coul…

Analysis of pteridines in Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) (Heteroptera, Pyrrhocoridae) during development and in body-color mutants
1997
By using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), five different pteridines have been quantified in extracts from Pyrrhocoris apterus: neopterin, isoxanthopterin, isoxantholumazine (violapterin), 7-methylxanthopterin, and erythropterin. Biopterin was also detected using HPLC. Pteridines have been analyzed separately in bodies and eyes of the wild type regarding developmental stage and sex. The pteridine content in both bodies and eyes increased from nymphs to 2-day-old adults. After this period, the concentration of pteridines in the eyes of adults remained approximately constant, while in the bodies isoxantholumazine, 7-methylxanthopterin, and isox…
