  • Antimicrobial Activities of Stearidonic and Gamma-Linolenic Acids
    Park et al. Botanical Studies 2013, 54:39 http://www.as-botanicalstudies.com/content/54/1/39 RESEARCH Open Access Antimicrobial activities of stearidonic and gamma-linolenic acids from the green seaweed Enteromorpha linza against several oral pathogenic bacteria Nam-Hee Park1†, Jae-Suk Choi2†, Seon-Yeong Hwang1, Yang-Chun Kim1, Yong-Ki Hong3, Kwang Keun Cho4 and In Soon Choi2,5* Abstract Background: We found that the edible green seaweed Enteromorpha linza displayed potent antimicrobial activity against Prevotella intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis. To elucidate the active component of E. linza, isolation procedures were performed. Results: The main active compound was isolated by polarity fractionation, Sephadex LH-20 gel chromatography, and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The active compounds were eluted at isocratic 95% acetonitrile by RP-HPLC and identified as unsaturated fatty acids, stearidonic acid (SA, C18:4 n-3) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, C18:3 n-6) by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The yields of SA and GLA from dried seaweed tissue were 6.33 × 10-3% and 6.47 × 10-3%, respectively. The minimal inhibitory concentration values of SA and GLA were 39.06 μg/mL against P. intermedia and 9.76 μg/mL against P. gingivalis, respectively. SA and GLA were also active against several other oral pathogens, including Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Candida albicans, Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. vincenti, and Streptococcus mutans, at micromolar concentrations. Conclusions: These data suggest that the E. linza extracts SA and GLA are useful antimicrobial agents for the prevention and/or treatment of periodontitis.

GT fruit cuticular wax load was comparable Fruit cuticle with WT fruits. In both, the proportion of triterpenoids decreased during fruit development concomitant with Gene expression increasing proportions of total aliphatic compounds. In GT fruit, a higher proportion of triterpenoids in cuticular Glossy type mutant wax was accompanied by a lower proportion of fatty acids and ketones compared to WT fruit as well as lower Triterpenoids Wax composition density of crystalloid structures on berry surfaces. Our results suggest that the glossy phenotype could be caused Chemical compounds studied in this article: by the absence of rod-like structures in GT fruit associated with reduction in proportions of ketones and fatty β-Amyrin (PubChem CID: 73145) acids in the cuticular wax.

Objectives To understand what is lipid Why they are important How they occur in nature 2. Concept Map LIPIDS Fatty Acids Glycerol 3. Description 3.1 Prologue to Lipids In 1943, the term lipid was first used by BLOOR, a German biochemist. Lipids are heterogeneous group of compounds present in plants and animal tissues related either actually or potentially to the fatty acids. They are amphipathic molecules, hydrophobic in nature originated utterly or in part by thioesters (carbanion-based condensations of fatty acids and/or polyketides etc) or by isoprene units (carbocation-based condensations of prenols, sterols, etc). Lipids have the universal property of being: i. Quite insoluble in water (polar solvent) ii. Soluble in benzene, chloroform, ether (non-polar solvent) 3 METABOLISM OF LIPIDS Biochemistry Prologue to Lipids Thus, lipids include oils, fats, waxes, steroids, vitamins (A, D, E and K) and related compounds, such as phospholipids, triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides and others, which are allied more by their physical properties than by their chemical assests.

Consequently, issues related to the origin of the Korean or Chinese substrate used in shiitake mushrooms produced using bag cultivation have been reported. Here, we investigated differences in fatty acids (FAs) and stable isotope ratios (SIRs) in shiitake mushrooms cultivated using Korean and Chinese substrates under similar conditions (strain, temperature, humidity, etc.) and depending on the harvesting cycle. The total FA level decreased significantly by 5.49 mg g 1 as the harvesting cycle increased (p < 0.0001); however, no differences · − were found in FAs between shiitake mushrooms cultivated using Korean and Chinese substrates.

  • Aroma Volatile Biosynthesis in Apples Affected by 1-MCP and Methyl Jasmonate

Mill. var. domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.] during ripening were investigated. Forty-four volatile compounds in ‘Delicious’ and 40 compounds in ‘Golden Delicious’ were detected. Among volatiles classified as alcohols, esters, ketones, aldehydes, acetic acid, and ␣-farnesene, esters were the most prevalent compounds, followed by alcohols. Aroma volatile production was high in untreated controls and ethephon treatment. Volatile production by 1-MCP-treated fruit was lower compared with untreated controls throughout the evaluation period. The impact of MeJA application on volatile production was cultivar dependent. The combination of ethephon with MeJA reduced volatile production by ‘Delicious’ compared with ethephon only, but this treatment combination stimulated volatile production by ‘Golden Delicious’ with the exception of esters. In general, the effect of MeJA on volatile production was related to the effect of MeJA on internal ethylene concentration. The results suggest that the effect of MeJA on aroma volatiles in apple fruit may be mediated by ethylene.

  • Derived Variables - Nutrients Responses to the 116 Items on the DQES Are Converted to Nutrients by Programs Developed at the CCV
    Derived Variables - Nutrients Responses to the 116 items on the DQES are converted to nutrients by programs developed at the CCV. Two standard portion factors used in the calculation of nutrient are included in the data sets. Variable Description PSF Portion Standard Factor APSF a Alcohol Portion Standard Factor Sources of nutrient data Values for most nutrients are based on the Australian food composition data base, NUTTAB95.1 Nutrient values form other sources are listed below. None of these new values have been tested or validated so the CCV recommend that the values be used with caution; the CCV welcome any feedback. o Folate (Folate) and vitamin E (VitE) are derived from British food composition tables.2 o Alpha-Carotene (AlphCarot), Beta-Carotene (Bet_Carot), Beta-Cryptoxanthin (BetaCrypt), Lutein plus Zeaxanthin (LutnZeax) and Lycopene (Lycopene) are derived from the USDA data base3 and are measured in micrograms/day. o Glycemic index (GlycIndex ) and glycemic load (GlycLoad) are derived from an international table.4 Note that the variable Bet_Carot measures total ß-carotene intake, and should not be confused with the variable BetaCarot which estimates ß-carotene equivalents (mcg/day) from NUTTAB and is calculated as the sum of the ß-carotene and half the amounts of - carotene and - and ß-cryptoxanthins present. Although values for the 2 variables are likely to be highly correlated, values may differ to a large extent, having been estimated from different databases, developed at different times in different countries. Also different foods would have been averaged to match values with the DQES items. Hodge at al have described the derivation of values for Glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) as follows:5 ‘Glycemic index is a method of ranking foods on the basis of the blood glucose response to a given amount of carbohydrate from that food.

Haggitt 2016 Abstract Suberin is a complex biopolymer composed of two distinct but covalently-linked domains. The first domain is composed of polymerized phenolic monomers, whereas the second domain is predominately fatty acid derivatives esterified with glycerol.

Performing the hydrogenation in the presence of chlorine-containing solvent, e.g. dichloromethane, hydrogenolysation reaction of chlorine also took place. In this case unexpected chlorin- ated product could be observed. Performing the hydrogenation reaction only in the pres- ence of methanol, the expected reduced derivative was obtained. Upon bromination of vindoline with excess NBS, oxidation products with ring contraction and developing an oxygen bridge were isolated. The fluorination reactions of vinblastine using Selectfluor® and xenon difluoride as the fluorination reagents were unsuccessful because of the de- composition of the starting material.
