Cashew apple is a tropical pseudofruit consumed as juice due to its excellent nutritional and sensory properties. In spite of being well known for its important antioxidant properties, the cashew apple has not been thoroughly investigated for its therapeutic potential. Thereby, this study evaluated the antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing activities of cashew apple juice. Juices from ripe ...
Background and objectives:Acerola (Malpighia emarginataDC.) is a tropical fruit known for its nutritionaland functional properties due to its great contents vitamin C, carotenoids and anthocyanins. The anti-oxidant potential from plants extracts associated to hepatoprotective activity has been widely studied.However, the effect of antioxidants in natural fruit juice has not been fully searched. The aim of this ...
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) alternative oxidase is encoded by a small multigene family (Aox1, 2a and 2b) that is orthologous to the soybean Aox family. Like most of the identified Aox genes in plants, VuAox1 and VuAox2 consist of 4 exons interrupted by 3 introns. Alignment of the orthologous Aox genes revealed high identity of exons and intron variability, which is more prevalent in Aox1. In order to determine A...
