| comparative bio-antimutagenicity of common vegetables and traditional vegetables in kyoto. | traditional vegetables in kyoto are a unique group of vegetables that have been cultivated in limited areas near kyoto city. we compared the traditional vegetables in kyoto with common vegetables for the bio-antimutagenicity of their extracts against uv-induced mutation of e. coli b/r wp2. among the traditional vegetables in kyoto, kamo eggplant (solanaceae) and katsura oriental pickling melon (cucurbitaceae) showed higher bio-antimutagenicity and yield in the n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acet ... | 1998 | 9692200 |
| 3-methylthiopropionic acid ethyl ester, isolated from katsura-uri (japanese pickling melon, cucumis melo var. conomon), enhanced differentiation in human colon cancer cells. | the fully ripened fruit of katsura-uri japanese pickling melon ( cucumis melo var. conomon) has rarely been used for food because the midripened fruit is utilized for making pickles, but the fully ripened fruit is no longer valuable for pickles due to the fruit body being too soft. we have considered the utilization of the fully ripened katsura-uri fruit that may be used for nonpickling products, particularly if the fully ripened fruit demonstrated health benefits such as anticarcinogenic proper ... | 2008 | 18426216 |
| pathogenic and genetic variation in the japanese strains of fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis. | abstract pathogenic variation among 41 japanese strains of fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis was analyzed by pathogenicity tests with muskmelon, oriental melon, and oriental pickling melon cultivars. based on pathogenicity to muskmelon cvs. amus and ohi and oriental melon cv. ogon 9, 41 strains were divided into 3 groups that corresponded completely to risser's races 0, 2, and 1,2y. to further characterize pathogenic variation within the forma specialis and races, strains were assayed for pathog ... | 1998 | 18944886 |
| antimutagenic; differentiation-inducing; and antioxidative effects of fragrant ingredients in katsura-uri (japanese pickling melon; cucumis melo var. conomon). | six fragrant ingredients were identified in fully-ripened katsura-uri (japanese pickling melon; cucumis melo var. conomon). four of them were sulfur-containing compounds [methylthioacetic acid ethyl ester (mtae), acetic acid 2-methylthio ethyl ester (amte), 3-methylthiopropionic acid ethyl ester (mtpe), and acetic acid 3-methylthio propyl ester (amtp)]; and the others were benzyl acetate and eugenol. the newly identified mtae and amtp possessed antimutagenic activity as determined by their abili ... | 2010 | 20801232 |
| the effect of cmloxs on the production of volatile organic compounds in four aroma types of melon (cucumis melo). | lipoxygenases (loxs) play important role in the synthesis of volatile organic compounds (vocs), which influence the aroma of fruit. in this study, we elucidate that there is a positive relationship between loxs activity and voc production in melon (cucumis melo), and cmlox genes are involved in fruit aroma generation in melon. to this end, we tested four aroma types of melon that feature a thin pericarp: two aromatic cultivars of the oriental melons (c. melo var. makuwa makino), 'yu meiren' (ymr ... | 2015 | 26599669 |
| erratum to: the effect of katsura-uri (japanese pickling melon, cucumis melo var. conomon) and its derived ingredient methylthioacetic acid on energy metabolism during aerobic exercise. | [this corrects the article doi: 10.1186/s40064-015-1144-y.]. | 2015 | 26413436 |
| the effect of katsura-uri (japanese pickling melon, cucumis melo var. conomon) and its derived ingredient methylthioacetic acid on energy metabolism during aerobic exercise. | we investigated the effect of katsura-uri (japanese pickling melon; cucumis melo var. conomon) on energy metabolism during exercise in human and animal studies. | 2015 | 26217554 |
| amino acid sequences of trypsin inhibitors from oriental pickling melon (cucumis melo l. var. conomon makino) seeds. | three inhibitors (cmcti-i, ii, and iii) were isolated from oriental pickling melon (cucumis melo l. var. conomon makino) seeds by acetone precipitation, gel filtration, and reversed phase chromatography. the amino acid sequences of these inhibitors were: [table; see text] the reactive sites (p1 and p1' sites) of these inhibitors are presumed to be the lys-ile indicated by an arrow, comparing them with other squash family inhibitors. all three inhibitors can inhibit lysyl endopeptidase and trypsi ... | 1992 | 1368838 |
