Fresh-cut products from cactus species
2005
Various species of Cactaceae family can serve a source of delicious and healthy fresh foodstuffs. Marketing cacti as ready-to-eat (fresh-cut) products may significantly expand their consumption, on condition that their quality, safety and longevity would answer the market demands. The present work was aimed at studying the storability of fresh-cut products prepared from several edible cactus species and looking for ways to improve their keeping quality. The experiments included fruit of cactus pear Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller, cactus apple (koubo) Cereus peruvianus (L.) Miller, and dragon fruit (pitaya) Hylocereus undatus (Haw.) Britton and Rose, as well as cladodes (pads) of nopal (ve…
Tratamiento de las ectasias corneales asociadas a LASIK con anillos intraestromales
2022
INTRODUCCIÓN: La ectasia corneal es una de sus complicaciones más graves de la cirugía LASIK. Está asociada a un adelgazamiento y un progresivo incurvamiento corneal y los anillos intracorneales (ICRS) se han propuesto como opción terapéutica debido a que inducen un aplanamiento. OBJETIVO: Evaluar los cambios producidos por los ICRS en pacientes diagnosticados de ectasias secundarias a LASIK. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Es un estudio retrospectivo donde se incluyeron 26 ojos con ectasia post-LASIK los cuales fueron tratados con ICRS tipo Ferrara (AJL, Vitoria). Se les realizó un examen refractivo (agudeza visual (AV) y la refracción subjetiva). Mediante Pentacam®HR (Oculus: OtikgerateGmbH, Wetzlar,…
INSTITUT CAVANILLES DE BIODIVERSITAT I BIOLOGIA EVOLUTIVA
2005
L'Institut Cavanilles de la Universitat de València es dedica a l'estudi de la biodiversitat i la biologia evolutiva amb un enfocament integrador i pluridisciplinar. El punt més fort de l'Institut està en la seua capacitat per abordar pràcticament qualsevol qüestió relativa a la biodiversitat des de múltiples facetes, estudiant des de la morfologia fins al comportament, des de la variació genètica molecular fins a la quantitativa, i integrant experts en àrees complementàries.
Production of halogenated compounds by Bjerkandera adusta.
1994
International audience; The white-rot fungusBjerkandera adusta produces volatile chlorinated phenyl compounds. The main compounds identified were 3-chloro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (3-chloro-p-anisaldehyde), 3-chloro-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (3-chloro-p-anisyl alcohol), 3,5-dichloro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (3,5-dichloro-p-anisaldehyde), and 3,5-dichloro, 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (3,5-dichloro-p-anisyl alcohol).p-Anisaldehyde, veratraldehyde and the corresponding alcohols,p-anisyl alcohol and veratryl alcohol were produced simultaneously. Even with a very low concentration of chloride in the medium (<>–5 m), chlorinated aromatic compounds were still observed. Addition of bromide to the culture mediu…

Policy-practice gap in participation of students with disabilities in Ethiopia's formal vocational education programme
2017
In Ethiopia, individuals with disabilities have limited access to educational and vocational training opportunities due to environmental, attitudinal and institutional barriers. The overarching purpose of the study was to investigate the status of inclusiveness of relevant policy and legal instruments of the study countries and their practicality in vocational education programmes. The specific aims of the study were to: explore the extent to which the issue of special educational and training needs for persons with disabilities is addressed in the education and training policy of Ethiopia, specifically focusing on technical and vocational education and training (TVET); investigate prevaili…
High-Temperature Electrolysis of Kraft Lignin for Selective Vanillin Formation
2020
Lignin represents the largest renewable resource of aromatic moieties on earth and harbors a huge potential as a sustainable feedstock for the synthesis of biobased aromatic fine chemicals. Due to the complex, heterogeneous, and robust chemical structure of the biopolymer, the valorization is associated with significant challenges. Unfortunately, technical lignins, which are a large side stream of the pulp and paper industries, are mainly thermally exploited. In this study, technical Kraft lignin was selectively electrochemically depolymerized to the aroma chemical vanillin. Using electricity, toxic and/or expensive oxidizers could be replaced. The electrodegradation of Kraft lignin was per…
Vanillin Suppresses Metastatic Potential of Human Cancer Cells through PI3K Inhibition and Decreases Angiogenesis in Vivo
2009
Vanillin, a food flavoring agent, has been shown to suppress cancer cell migration and metastasis in a mouse model, but its mechanism of action is unknown. In this report, we have examined the antimetastatic potential of vanillin and its structurally related compounds, vanillic acid, vanillyl alcohol, and apocynin on hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-induced migration of human lung cancer cells by the Transwell assay. Vanillin and apocynin could inhibit cell migration, and both compounds selectively inhibited Akt phosphorylation of HGF signaling, without affecting phosphorylation of Met and Erk. Vanillin and apocynin could inhibit the enzymatic activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), as …
Matières de table. Fantaisies gourmandes de Jacques Fontanille.
2021
Following the figurative trajectory of gustatory sensitivity in the work of Jacques Fontanille, three key moments stand out: (1) the entry through the sensory and the flavors, marked by the autonomy of the figurative dimension in the sensitive deployment of the flavor; (2) the putting to the test of the semiotic exploration in different fields of expression: at the table, through "the setting in plate", around the wine; (3) the figurative consistency of the food form as manifestation of a form of life, with its modalities and its modulations
Chromone and phenanthrene alkaloids from Dennettia tripetala.
2002
Dennettine, a new 2,6-dimethoxychromone and three known phenanthrene alkaloids (uvariopsine, stephenanthrine and argentinine) in addition to the phenolic and known compound vanillin were isolated from the roots of Dennettia tripetala. Their structures were determined by physical and spectroscopical one dimensional (1D) and 2D-NMR analysis, including heteronuclear multiple bond correlation and nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy.
