OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate that produce rinsates used for RT-qPCR detection of foodborne viruses may cause significant PCR inhibition and propose a means to reduce its impact on sensitivity.
RESULTS
Here, it is shown that rinsing and concentration from spinach and precut lettuce have the potential to
In the North of Brazil (Pará and Amazonas states) the leaves of the plant Talinum triangulare (popular: cariru) replace spinach as food. From a phytochemical point of view, they are rich in compounds of the group of pheophytins. These substances, related to chlorophyll, have photophysical properties
Using polyclonal antibodies raised against human serum albumin (HSA), a 70-kDa microsomal protein with an isoelectric point of approximately 6.5 was detected in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.). The protein was purified by selective ammonium sulfate precipitation and anion exchange HPLC. The protein
Effects of food materials were investigated on removal of several kinds of thiols, sulfides, and disulfides, which arise from vegetables of Allium species during food preparation and eating. Methanethiol, propanethiol, and 2-propenethiol were captured by raw foods such as fruits, vegetables, and
ATP, GTP, CoA, Mg(2+), and Mn(2+) did not inhibit biosynthesis of steryl glycoside and acylated steryl glycoside when added singly to enzyme preparations from spinach leaves. The combination of ATP (but not GTP), CoA, and Mg(2+) or Mn(2+) caused marked inhibition, especially of steryl glycoside
BACKGROUND
Glycoprotein is one of the components of the cardiac extracellular matrix and plays an important role in cardiac remodelling during various cardiac diseases, including myocardial infarction (MI). This study was aimed at evaluating the preventive role of Amaranthus viridis Linn. on
A galactolipid lipase has been isolated and partially purified from the chloroplast fraction of the primary leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris var. Kentucky Wonder. The lipase hydrolyzed monogalactosyl diglyceride rapidly and phosphatidyl choline relatively slowly. Triolein and p-nitrophenyl stearate were
Preparations of acetyl-CoA carboxylase [acetyl-CoA-carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.4.1.2] have been obtained from the plastids of avocado (Persea americana) fruit mesocarp and from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts. Both preparations required bovine serum albumin, HCO3-, citrate and
Multiple forms of ADP-glucose-alpha-1,4-glucan alpha-4-glucosyltransferase were obtained from spinach leaves by gradient elution from a DEAE-cellulose column. In the presence of high concentrations of some salts and bovine serum albumin, unprimed activity was found in one (transglucosylase III) of
A number of additives have been tested for their effects on o-diphenol: O2 oxidoreductase activity of cane leaves. The most inhibitory compounds were thioglycollate, β-mercaptoethanol, polyethylene glycol and bovine serum albumin. Sulphydryl (SH) compounds did not affect rates of photosynthetic CO2
The free fatty acid content of spinach chloroplasts, isolated at pH 5.8 to 8.0, has been found to vary between 3.1 and 5.5% of the total chloroplast fatty acids. When chloroplasts were incubated at room temperature for 2 hours, the free fatty acids increased by 42% and the Hill activity decreased by
1. The conditions under which oxygen consumption in excess of that required for the hydroxylation of p-coumaric acid to caffeic acid, catalysed by spinach-beet phenolase, can be suppressed, have been examined. 2. With dimethyltetrahydropteridine as electron donor, oxygen uptake was exactly
A galactolipid lipase from primary bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves has been used to partially deplete spinach chloroplast inner membranes of their galactolipids. Chloroplasts treated with the lipase in the absence of bovine serum albumin lost 91% of their monogalactosyl diglyceride, 83% of their
The effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the enzymatic and physical properties of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activase was examined. In the presence of PEG, Rubisco activase exhibited higher ATPase and Rubisco activating activities, concomitant with increased apparent
to assess the role of factors assumed to be involved in the transfer of carotenoids from plant matrices to dietary emulsions in the upper digestive tract.We first measured transfer as a function of time of pure β-carotene (βC), lutein (LUT) and lycopene
