  • Comparison of ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP Assays for Estimating Antioxidant Potential of Selected Sri Lankan Traditional Sweetmeats
    Comparison of ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP Assays for Estimating Antioxidant Potential of Selected Sri Lankan Traditional Sweetmeats M.K.S. Mihiranie1, J.M.J.K. Jayasinghe1, J.P.D. Wanasundara3 and C.V.L. Jayasinghe2 1Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Nugegoda, Sri Lanka 2Department of Food Science and Technology, Wayamba University of Sri Lanka, Gonawila, Sri Lanka 3College of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, Canada Fifteen Sri Lankan traditional sweetmeats (Hendi kewum, Beraliya kewum, Naran kewum, Athirasa, Mung kewum, Aasmi, Kokis, Undu walalu, Welithalapa, Bedihaalpiti aggala, Dodol, Aluwa, Thala guli, Kurahan helapa and Pusnambu) were investigated for antioxidant potential (AP) by 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl assay (DPPH), 2,2-azino- bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) assay and Ferrous reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP). Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of sweetmeats were determined by using colorimetric assays. Lyophilized sweetmeats (1:10) were used to prepare 80% methanolic extractions at room temperature for 24 hours for all the assays. Helapa was further investigated for the changes in AP with the changes of ingredients utilized in different regions of Sri Lanka. Accordingly, Helapa prepared with 100% finger millet flour, finger millet+rice flour, Shorea megistophylla (sin. Beraliya) flour+rice flour, Vateria copallifera (sin. Hal) flour+rice flour, Madhuca longifolia (sin. Mee) flour+rice flour was studied. Results revealed that, among sweetmeats examined for AP, Naran Kewum showed the significantly highest AP (1595.7±0.03 µg/mL TE) by FRAP assay and Helapa showed the highest radical scavenging activity for DPPH (564.8± 0.02 µg/mL TE) and ABTS (553.2±0.01 µg/mL TE) assays (p<0.05).

  • Bundesweiter Kinostart: 11. Oktober 2018
    Bundesweiter Kinostart: 11. Oktober 2018 „Smallfoot“, das animierte Abenteuer für die ganze Familie, mit Originalmusik und Starbesetzung, stellt eine Legende auf den Kopf: Ein aufgeweckter junger Yeti entdeckt etwas, das es angeblich gar nicht gibt – einen Menschen. Die Neuigkeit von diesem „Smallfoot“ löst in der einfachen Gemeinschaft der Yeti enorme Unruhe darüber aus, was es denn sonst noch in der großen Welt jenseits ihres verschneiten Dorfes gibt. Und das ist erst der Beginn einer ganz neuen, nie dagewesenen Geschichte über Freundschaft, Mut und Entdeckerfreude. In „Smallfoot“ stürzen sich Kostja Ullmann („Mein Blind Date mit dem Leben“) und Aylin Tezel („Am Himmel der Tag“, „Tatort“) als liebevoll animierte Yetis in ein eisigartiges Abenteuer: Das beliebte Schauspieler-Duo leiht seine Stimmen dem neugierigen jungen Yeti Migo und seiner Freundin Meechee, die sich nach einer überraschenden Entdeckung auf eine ungewöhnliche Expedition begeben. Unterstützt werden die beiden durch den erfolgreichen Standup-Comedian Chris Tall (aktuelle Tour „Und jetzt ist Papa dran!“) als Fleem und Schauspielerin Luise Befort („Club der Roten Bänder“) als Kolka, die für zusätzlichen Actionspaß sorgen. Regie bei „Smallfoot“ führt Karey Kirkpatrick, der für „Ab durch die Hecke“ einen Annie Award gewann und für die Drehbücher zu „Chicken Run – Hennen rennen“ und „James und der Riesenpfirsich“ Annie-Nominierungen erhielt. Das Drehbuch verfassten Kirkpatrick und Clare Sera, mit der Drehbuchvorlage von John Requa & Glenn Ficarra und Kirkpatrick, nach dem Buch Yeti Tracks von Sergio Pablos. 2 Produziert wird der Film von Bonne Radford („Coco – Der neugierige Affe“), Glenn Ficarra („Störche – Abenteuer im Anflug“, „This Is Us: Das ist Leben“) und John Requa („Störche – Abenteuer im Anflug“, „This Is Us: Das ist Leben“).

Piumi Tharangani Perera First EditionAugust 2018 ISBN 978-955-9282-43-3 Introduction The ancient glory of Sri Lanka rested upon the local food we found on our own. Within that, the indigenous tuber varieties rich in taste, quality and nutrition occupied a significant place in our diet we consumed. There was a group of animals living in the environment with the habit of consuming indigenous tubers. Diversity among these evoked the spontaneous development of ecological biodiversity. The local foods, customs and culinary arts have gradually become distant with the open economy system. The threat of extinction faced by the indigenous tuber varieties has increased the tendency towards artificial foods to take possession of our kitchen. The outcomeof this was the abundance of chronic diseases such as Diabetes, High blood pressure and Heart failures which could transform the nation into a weak form.

  • Bee Movie, ” Una Commedia Che Cambierà Tutto Ciò Che Credevate Di Sapere Sulle Api
    Il creatore Jerry Seinfeld presenta “Bee Movie, ” una commedia che cambierà tutto ciò che credevate di sapere sulle api. Osservate più da vicino il mondo di queste instancabili creature attraverso gli occhi di — Barry B. Benson (interpretato dal vincitore di un Emmy e di un Golden Globe, Jerry Seinfeld). Il neo-laureato Barry desidera più dalla vita dell’inevitabile carriera che lo attende come tutti gli altri abitanti di New Hive City —un lavoro alla Honex, la fabbrica di miele. Barry afferra al volo l’opportunità di avventurarsi fuori dall’alveare, venendo a contatto con un mondo assolutamente straordinario. Quando Barry si imbatte per caso in Vanessa, una vivace fioraia di Manhattan (interpretata dal Premio Oscar® Renée Zellweger), infrange una delle regole di base del mondo delle api — le parla. Tra i due nasce un’amicizia, e Barry riceve un corso rapido sul modo di vivere degli umani. Quando scopre che chiunque può acquistare del miele in un negozio di alimentari, è scioccato dal fatto che gli umani da anni stiano rubando questo prodotto singolare delle api a fini di lucro.
