Methods: We clinically investigated the effects of HMB/Gln/Arg on 9 cases of chronic oral mucosal diseases such as oral lichen planus and recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Results: Improvement in subjective symptoms was observed in 7 out of 9 cases of oral mucosal diseases. Conclusion: We found that the use of this supplement was effective in the treatment of 7 out of 9 cases of chronic oral mucosal diseases. Thus, we believe that HMB/Gln/Arg use should be considered as a treatment option.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2016-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75717731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vegetable was raised at the Teaching and Research Farm, Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria in 2010 for two seasons and the following NPK fertilizer rates were applied: 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 kg/ha and replicated six times. Six composite samples from the six replications were analyzed in duplicates for proximate content and antioxidant profile. For the antioxidant assays, crude extract was obtained from cold extraction of each of the samples with 80% methanol and evaporated to dryness. The hydrogen donating or radical scavenging of the extract was determined using the stable radical DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate). Total phenol content was determined by the method of Singleton and Rossi using the Folin – Ciocalteau reagent in alkaline medium while total flavonoid content was determined using AlCl3 method as described by Lamaison and Carnet. The proanthocyanidin content was determined using a modified method of Porter et al, using the AlCl / Butan – 1-0l assay method while the total anthocyanin content of the test samples was determined using the pH differential method of Fuleki and Francis as described by Guisti and Wrolstad. Crude protein, Carbohydrate, Ash, Crude fibre, Ether extract (fat) and Moisture contents were determined using the routine chemical analytical methods of Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC). The chemical compositions analyzed were reduced significantly when fertilizer rate exceeded 100 kg NPK/ha. The proximate values in pumpkin leaves are 23.8, 0.18, 1.65, and 2.16 g/100g for protein, fat, ash and crude fibre respectively. Fertilizer rates from 150 – 250 kg/ha reduced these values by 10 – 40%. With the increase in fertilizer rates from 100 kg – 250 kg/ha, antioxidant activities was reduced by 19%, phenol by 57% and flavonoid by 65%. For the food value and bioactive compounds of pumpkin to be retained, NPK fertilizer application should not exceed 100 kg/ha if it must be applied.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"26 23-24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2016-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83503303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy of E. coli cells. To S. faecalis, ozone pre-treatment activated the effects of SDS, NaOH, and PK on cells. ATP loss from S. faecalis cells indicated that ozone damaged cell membrane and increased membrane permeability. Because SDS-, NaOH-, and PK-induced cell lyses were respectively due to protein denaturation, cell membrane damage, and the reactions between PK and proteins or conjugated proteins, it was concluded that protein changes and cell membrane damage generated by ozone are responsible for E. coli and S. faecalis inactivation.

Two different methods for measuring the proteolytic activity of milk samples were applied; the measurement of absorbance at 280 nm and the trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) method. The milk samples used were raw and UHT cow’s and goat’s milk. Proteolysis was also induced in UHT milk by inoculating cells of four different strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens into the milk and the changes taking place were observed. It has been found that the proteolytic activity of raw milk was not affected by a refrigerated storage for 10 days and only after this period it was gradually increased. The higher proteolytic activity of goat’s milk in comparison with cow’s milk during storage and its increased susceptibility to gelation were also established. Furthermore, the importance of storage temperature and the different effect of the four strains of P. fluorescens on proteolytic activity and pH of the UHT milk were shown. Finally, it has been demonstrated that there is a certain level of proteolytic activity in milk that leads to gelation when it is exceeded.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"104 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2016-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79195484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
