Carvalho, Ana Fontenele Urano; Sousa, Nathanna Mateus de; Farias, Davi Felipe; Rocha-Bezerra, Lady Clarissa Brito da; Silva, Renata Maria Pereira daThis study aimed to establish a nutritional ranking of 30 genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp). The results showed the proximate composition varies among genotypes in protein (20–30%) and dietary fiber contents (20–35%), in protease inhibitors (2–4 UI/mg protein), lectin (40,000–640,000 UH/kg meal) and essential amino acid levels, in vitro protein digestibility (30–40%) and in the apparent concentrat...
Preliminary assessment of the nutritional composition of underexploited wild le...
Carvalho, Ana Fontenele Urano; Farias, Davi Felipe; Rocha-Bezerra, Lady Clarissa Brito da; Sousa, Nathanna Mateus de; Cavalheiro, Mariana GiovenardiThe seeds of 14 wild legume species from Brazil were analyzed to assess their potential as food. The seeds showed high levels of crude protein (10.9–50.0%), dietary fiber (0.8–52.3%) and energy (905–1804 kJ 100 g 1 ), and the amino acid composition (mg g 1 N) was comparable to that of soybeans, but with higher amounts of lysine (456–10,884) and histidine (199–918). The seeds showed lectin activity (20– 2560 and...

Alternative method for quantification of alfa-amylase activity
Farias, Davi Felipe; Hissa, Denise Cavalcante; Rocha-Bezerra, Lady Clarissa Brito da; Lima, Glauber Pacelli Gomes de; Carvalho, Ana Fontenele UranoA modification of the sensitive agar diffusion method was developed for macro-scale determination of alfa-amylase. The proposed modifications lower costs with the utilisation of starch as substrate and agar as supporting medium. Thus, a standard curve was built using alfa-amylase solution from Aspergillus oryzae, with concentrations ranging from 2.4 to 7,500 U.mL–1. Clear radial diffusion zones were measured af...
