Supplementation with CNPC003 and Flour Enhances the Properties of Goat Cream Cheese.

This study evaluated the impacts of CNPC003 and xique-xique flour supplementation on the technological, physicochemical, nutritional, and sensory properties of goat cream cheese over 21 days of refrigerated storage. Four cheese formulations were prepared: a control (CC), one with CNPC003 (PC), one with xique-xique flour (XC), and one with CNPC003 and xique-xique flour (PXC). XC and PXC had a yellowish-green hue with less brightness.

Protein fraction from Sesbania virgata (Cav.) Pers. seeds exhibit antioxidant and antifungal activities.

Sesbania virgata (Cav.) Pers. seeds are protein sources with health and environmental benefits.

The efficacy of a lectin from Abelmoschus Esculentus depends on central opioid receptor activation to reduce temporomandibular joint hypernociception in rats.

Abelmoschus esculentus is largely cultivated in Northeastern Brazil for medicinal purposes, e.g. inflammatory conditions.

Proteomic of goat milk whey and its bacteriostatic and antitumour potential.

Goat whey is normally discarded in the milk processing industry. However, several studies have addressed its biological properties and possible use in human or animal diet. The present study aimed to analysis the protein profile of goat whey to evaluate its possible oxidant, antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumour, and cytotoxic activities in vitro against human erythrocytes.

Lectin from seeds of a Brazilian lima bean variety (Phaseolus lunatus L. var. cascavel) presents antioxidant, antitumour and gastroprotective activities.

Lectins are proteins able to interact specifically and reversibly with carbohydrates. They are present in all living beings, particularly in legume seeds, which have many biological functions. The aim of this study was to isolate, characterize and verify antioxidant, anti-hemolytic, antitumor and gastroprotective activities in a lectin present in seeds of Phaseolus lunatus L.

Proteolysis in goat "coalho" cheese supplemented with probiotic lactic acid bacteria.

This study aimed to analyse the proteolytic effects of adding isolated and combined probiotic strains to goat "coalho" cheese. The cheeses were: QS - with culture Start, composed by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and L.

Spectroscopic and thermooxidative analysis of organic okra oil and seeds from Abelmoschus esculentus.

With changes in human consumption from animal fats to vegetable oils, the search for seed types, often from unconventional vegetable sources has grown. Research on the chemical composition of both seed and oil for Brazilian Okra in South America is still incipient. In this study, flour and oil from organic Okra seeds (Abelmoschus esculentus L Moench), grown in northeastern Brazil were analyzed.

Natural products from the termite Nasutitermes corniger lowers aminoglycoside minimum inhibitory concentrations.

Bacterial infectious agents present a risk to populations, as they are responsible for high morbidity and mortality. For combating these pathogens, our main line of defense is the use of antibiotics. However, indiscriminate use of these drugs develops resistant strains to these same drugs.
