Women worldwide continue to be infected with HIV at an alarming rate. The majority of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections occur by the mucosal route during unprotected vaginal sexual intercourse.
Biosynthesis of Gold Nanoparticles by Biotechnologically Important Active and Inactive Form of the Ascomycetes - Pichia membranifaciens and Debaryomyces hansenii
The two biotechnologically important Ascomycetes, Pichia membranifaciens and Debaryomyces hansenii, were tested (in active and inactive form), in the present study for efficient bioreduction of trivalent aurum to gold na...
Anti-Tumorigenic Effects of Capsaicin in Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is one of most common malignancies in the world. Capsaicin is a major component of chili peppers and has been shown to possess anti-cancer activity against various types of cancers. There is currently a limi...
The Influence of Ethanol and Vacuum on Okara Drying
Okara is a coproduct of processing soy milk and tofu. It is often discarded but has a great potential for use in the food industry due to its high content of fiber and protein. The aim of this study was to evaluate the d...
Prediction of Oral Absorption of Nanoparticles from Biorelevant Matrices Using a Combination of Physiologically Relevant In Vitro and Ex Vivo Models
The application of nanoparticles (NPs) in food products is ever increasing. For consumer safety it is essential to know the human oral bioavailability of these NPs. In the present study, a combination of physiologically...
Free Amino Acids, Including Canavanine, in the Seeds from 24 Wild Mediterranean Legumes
Seeds with a high concentration of specific free amino acids may represent a green alternative to industrial scale fermentation as sources of specific amino acids. Legume seeds are particularly rich in free amino acids....
