| significance for humans of the nutrient contents of the dry fruit of tetrapleura tetraptera. | the nutritional quality of the dry fruit of tetrapleura tetraptera, a tropical deciduous forest tree with characteristic fruits, used as a spice, was assessed. the fruit shell, fruit pulp and seed contained varying amounts of nutrients such as protein, lipids and minerals, which were comparable and some were even higher than popular spices such as red pepper, onion, curry and ginger. the crude fibre content of the fruit shell was noteworthy and can be considered a good source of this nutritional ... | 1994 | 8146103 |
| [the value of polish field grown sweet pepper cultivars for freezing and pickling]. | raw and blanched sweet pepper and frozen goods and pickles produced of blanched and non-blanched vegetable were evaluated after 6-month storage, the following cultivars of polish origin being used in the screening: bryza, ino, jantar, kano, kujawianka, passat, sono, and zefir. the compared cultivars differed by the level of analysed indices. the variability range of dry matter content was 25%, of sugars 23%, of starch 97%, of protein 25%, of mineral constituents 24%, and of vitamin c 40%. the bl ... | 1994 | 7792520 |
| influence of uraniferous black shales on cadmium, molybdenum and selenium in soils and crop plants in the deog-pyoun-g area of korea. | the influence of naturally occurring uraniferous black shales on cadmium, molybdenum and selenium concentrations in soils and plants is examined. the possible implications of element concentrations to animal and human health are considered for the deog-pyoung area.geochemical surveys have been undertaken within 13 river tributary valleys in the area underlain by uraniferous black shales and black slates or grey chlorite schists. sampling of rocks, soils and plants has been carried out along tran ... | 1993 | 24198108 |
| problems with estimating vitamin c intakes. | the vitamin c content of foods was examined from two national databases and new values were obtained by hplc. hplc values were lower in four of the five highest vitamin c contributors to the us diet (orange juice, grapefruit, tomatoes and tomato juice, and potatoes), as well as in broccoli, red peppers, and cooked collard and mustard greens, compared with values from the other databases. when hplc values were substituted in the health habits and history questionnaire, the resulting estimates of ... | 1993 | 8460610 |
| [a case of recurrent alimentary lead poisoning]. | the authors describe a case of lead poisoning in a family (father, mother, son, daughter). the condition was at first diagnosed as acute hepatic porphyria. the correct diagnosis was made on the basis of increased urinary excretion of delta-aminolevulinic acid and coproporphyrin and on the basis of the revealed reversibly inhibited activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase in red blood cells. the source of intoxication was the use of red lead pigment instead of dried red pepper. | 1992 | 1394376 |
| the effect of red and black pepper on orocecal transit time. | the effects of spices on intestinal peristalsis have not been studied in humans. in this pilot study we evaluated the effects of red pepper and black pepper on small intestinal peristalsis measuring orocecal transit time (octt) utilizing a lactulose hydrogen breath test. subjects included 16 healthy volunteers. the lactulose hydrogen breath test was done on different days with or without the powdered red pepper (2 g) or black pepper (1.5 g) given in gelatin capsules. the baseline orocecal transi ... | 1992 | 1578101 |
| diet and nutrition in ulcer disease. | in this era of h2-inhibitors, the available evidence does not support the need to place peptic ulcer disease patients on restrictive diets. the major goal of diet is to avoid extreme elevations of gastric acid secretion and the direct irritation of gastric mucosa. in view of this, only slight modifications in the patient's usual diet are recommended. table 1 depicts a sample menu for chronic peptic ulcer disease. frequent milk ingestion as previously prescribed is not encouraged. this is owing t ... | 1991 | 2072799 |
| the effect of essential oil type on the setting time of grossman's sealer and roth root canal cement. | setting times were determined for mixtures consisting of the powder components of grossman's sealer or roth root canal cement with either eugenol, oil of pimento or oil of melaleuca. the powder component of grossman's sealer, when mixed with eugenol or oil of pimento, had a significantly shorter setting time than did the powder component of grossman's sealer mixed with oil of melaleuca or roth root canal cement mixed with eugenol, oil of pimento, or oil of melaleuca. | 1991 | 1940754 |
| plasma cell gingivitis of unusual origin. a case report. | plasma cell gingivitis is a rare benign condition of the gingiva. it is marked by a dense infiltrate of normal plasma cells separated into aggregates by strands of collagen. it is a hypersensitivity reaction to some antigen, often flavorings or spices. the importance of this lesion is that it may cause severe gingival inflammation, discomfort, and bleeding and may mimic more serious conditions. plaque control and conventional periodontal therapy alone will not cure this disease. the etiologic ag ... | 1991 | 1870070 |
| detection of aflatoxin b1 in imported food products into japan by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and high performance liquid chromatography. | in order to detect the presence of aflatoxin b1 (afb1), the use of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and recovery test was evaluated. the detection limit of elisa for afb1 was 1 pg/assay and the recovery from maize spiked with afb1 exceeded 80%. afb1 was detected by elisa in seven out of twelve samples of imported food products including peanut, almond, red pepper, cocoa bean, black pepper, buckwheat, walnut, adlay, soybean, popcorn, and pistachio nut, and by high performance liquid ... | 1991 | 1830779 |
| [botulism in the czech republic]. | in a retrospective study the authors analyzed 76 cases of botulism reported in 1961-1989 in the czech republic. the analysis of descriptive data pertained to the annual incidence of botulism with a maximum of cases in 1966, 1973 and 1984 (11, 7 and 6 cases); geographical distribution with a maximum incidence in the south and central bohemian region (100,000 population); age distribution with a predominance in subjects above 15 years. the dominating vehicle of botulism was in 61% of the notified ... | 1991 | 2004397 |
| childbearing beliefs among cambodian refugee women. | the reproductive beliefs and practices of 12 cambodian women who had begun childbearing in southeast asia and were currently residents of canada's cambodian community of refugees were assessed through in-depth ethnographic interviews. the researcher, a public health nurse in a clinic that served a predominantly refugee population, conducted the interviews through female bilingual translators and obtained endorsement from the cambodian association. respondents averaged 35 years of age, were marri ... | 1990 | 2301165 |
| expression of a patatin-like protein in the anthers of potato and sweet pepper flowers. | patatin, the major glycoprotein in potato tubers, is encoded by a multigene family. rna and protein analyses reveal that a homologous mrna and an immunologically cross-reacting protein can be found in potato flowers, which is similar to patatin in that it displays a lipid acyl hydrolase activity. the patatin-like protein found in flowers has a higher molecular weight than the authentic tuber patatin. deglycosylation experiments show that this is not due to differences in the glycosylation patter ... | 1989 | 12359901 |
| angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and cough. | angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) inhibitors produce a dry, nonproductive cough in some patients. retrospective surveys have suggested an incidence of cough of between 0.7 and 14%. those patients who develop cough show a marked increase in the sensitivity of the cough reflex to inhalation of the extract of red pepper, capsaicin. they have a normal response before treatment, and the sensitivity of the cough reflex returns to normal when therapy is discontinued. the mechanism of this important s ... | 1989 | 2474108 |
