Exposure to α-AI-1 induces the expression and secretion of two α-amylase isoforms, both insensitive to this inhibitor when compared to the constitutive isoform.

In this study, we demonstrated the induction of digestive amylases in Z. subfasciatus on P. lunatus seeds through feeding trials. Separation of P. lunatus seed extracts via ion-exchange chromatography led to the identification of fractions containing inhibitory activity against porcine pancreatic amylase. Enzymatic kinetic parameters revealed the presence of a mixed non-competitive inhibitor in P. lunatus fractions, akin to the pattern observed in P. vulgaris. Furthermore, the protein profiles of both types of seeds were similar, with the enrichment of a 30–32 kD protein, possibly representing a precursor form of the α-amylase inhibitor.

The pressures were analyzed for two slenderness ratios (2 and 3, respectively) with a flat bottom, using maize, a free-flowing product, as the stored product. The pressures were analyzed during loading and discharge conditions. The experimental results were compared with those recommended by means of the current standards EN 1991–4 and ANSI/ASAE S433.1 and the theory of Jenike et al. (1973). The results obtained show that the discharge pressures for the H/D ratio equal to 2 may exceed those obtained by the calculation method proposed by ANSI/ASAE S433.1, showing that the coefficients used in the standard are not sufficient to promote safety in projects of this configuration. Among the analyzed standards, EN 1991–4:2006 best fitted the experimental discharge pressures for the H/D ratio equal to 3. However, the theory of Jenike et al.

This study aimed to determine the sensitivity of A. obtectus stages that fed on two types of hosts (kidney bean seeds and cowpea seeds) to the modified atmosphere using three concentrations of carbon dioxide (20, 40, and 60%) and different exposure periods at 30 °C and 65% R.H.

Also, the stages are arranged according to their degree of sensitivity to carbon dioxide as follows: adults > eggs > larvae > pupae. According to the LT values, the sensitivity of the external stages of the seeds to carbon dioxide was slightly affected by the type of food, while the internal stages were clearly affected. Complete mortality was achieved after 72 h for adults in all treatments as well as after 7 and 6 days for eggs at 20 and 40% CO2 in both hosts.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different drying technologies (continuous drying and dryer-silos) and storage methods (vertical and horizontal silos) on the quality of soybeans associated with Machine Learning algorithms to predict changes in grain quality. The environmental and intergranular variables monitored during the processes were correlated with physical and chemical quality parameters of the grains for prediction through Machine Learning models. The equilibrium moisture content above 12% increased the respiration of the stored grain mass to CO2 concentration levels above 600 ppm, causing changes in the soybean quality from 4 to 14% dry matter loss, and reducing the apparent mass specific at 650 kg m−3, germination at 60%, oil yield reduced at 18%, and crude protein at 34%, as well as increased the electrical conductivity at 500 mS cm−1 g−1, the acidity oil increased at 7 mg KOH g−1. It was observed that grain subjected to drying and storage conditions in dryer-silos maintained the highest grain quality at the end of the process. Although there were differences related on the applied drying and storage technology regarding changes in grain quality, it was noticed that the Artificial Neural Networks model demonstrated superior performance in predicting grain quality.
