BACKGROUND
Following on from recent advances in plant AsA biosynthesis there is increasing interest in elucidating the factors contributing to the L-ascorbic acid (AsA) content of edible crops. One main objective is to establish whether in sink organs such as fruits and tubers, AsA is synthesised in
In order to investigate the responses of ascorbic acid (AsA) metabolism system in potato leaves to high and low temperature stresses, a pot experiment was conducted with potato plants exposed to 40 degrees C or 5 degrees C, with the leaf AsA content, mRNA expression level of GalLDH and DHAR genes,
The main objects of this study were to prepare the cross-linked potato starch/polyvinyl alcohol blend films with ascorbic acid (AsA) added as a plasticizer with and without heat curing and to examine their mechanical properties, elongation at break, degree of swelling, solubility, water vapor
Anthocyanins are natural dyes widely used in the food industry, but their chemical stability in beverages can be affected by the presence of additives. In the present paper, the interaction between anthocyanins and ascorbic acid (AA) is more particularly investigated. Ascorbic acid is an ubiquitous
BACKGROUND
The aim of the work was to study the effect of traditional processing methods on the β-carotene, ascorbic acid and trypsin inhibitor contents of orange-fleshed sweet potato amala. The most common sweet potato in Nigeria is white or yellow fleshed, which is very low in provitamin A.
Effect of transglutaminase (TGM) and ascorbic acid (AA) on composite sweet potato - wheat dough functional and rheological properties was studied. Partial substitution of wheat flour with sweet potato flour at the level of 20 % significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reduced glutenin, gliadin, dough stability,
L-Galactono-gamma-lactone dehydrogenase (L-galactono-gamma-lactone:ferricytochrome c oxidoreductase [EC 1.3.2.3], GLDHase) which catalyzes the terminal step in the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid (AsA) has been purified from roots of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L., cv. Kintoki). Highly purified
Snakin-1 is a member of the Solanum tuberosum Snakin/GASA family. We previously demonstrated that Snakin-1 is involved in plant defense to pathogens as well as in plant growth and development, but its mechanism of action has not been completely elucidated yet. Here, we showed that leaves of Snakin-1
Potato chips (PC) contain abundant amounts of the free radical scavenger ascorbic acid (AA) due to the rapid dehydration of potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum) that occurs during frying. To evaluate the antioxidant activity of PC, this study examined reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in tissues
Potato is the most widely cultivated non-cereal crop in the world, and like any other crop, it is susceptible to yield losses because of various factors, including pathogen attacks. Among the various diseases of potato, late blight caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans is considered
HPLC was used to analyze the content of ascorbic acid (AA) in tubers of four Korean potato cultivars (Chaju, Sumi, Deso, and Dejima), in a series of baked, boiled, braised, fried, microwaved, pressure-cooked, and sauteed potato slices from the Dejima cultivar and in 14 commercial Korean and 14
Evaluation of phenolic metabolism in potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum) would be facilitated by faster analytical methods. A high-throughput HPLC method was developed for the qualitative and quantitative determination in potato of numerous phenolic compounds, the sum of the glycoalkaloids chaconine
L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, AsA) is an important component of human nutrition. Plants and several animals can synthesize their own ascorbic acid, whereas humans lack the gene essential for ascorbic acid biosynthesis and must acquire from their diet. In the present study, we developed transgenic
Ascorbic acid (AsA, vitamin C) is one of the most important nutritional quality factors in many horticultural crops and has many biological activities in the human body. Dehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.8.5.1; DHAR) plays an important role in maintaining the normal level of ascorbic acid (AsA) by
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of increasing concentrations of ascorbate ions (AIs, 0-100mM) in the form of ascorbic acid (AA) and sodium ascorbate (SA) on the properties of edible oxidized potato starch films. The browning reactions were faster in the SA-added films than in
