| [vegetable resources with agroindustrial potential from guatemala. chemical characterization of the pulp and of the seeds of theobroma bicolor]. | t. bicolor grows wild in certain regions of guatemala. the fruit is utilized by the rural population for the preparation of drinks from the pulp and the seed, replacing cocoa (t. cocoa). the fruit of t. bicolor used in the present study, measured on the average, 15 cm long and had an average weight, of 752 g. the pulp, the shell, and the seed represented 23.8, 62.5, and 13.7%, respectively, of the fruit weight. the pulp contained on the average, 38 seeds/fruit, which weighted on the average, 1.1 ... | 1999 | 10883304 |
| characterization of a saccharide-binding protein from talisia esculenta seeds with trypsin inhibitory activity. | some proteins exhibit characteristics that suggest they have a primary, if not an exclusive role in nutrient reserve storage. the best studied examples are the storage proteins that accumulate specifically in developing seeds. some of these protein demonstrate biological activities that could contribute to resistance to pest, pathogens or abiotic stresses. in this study we present the biochemical characterization and cloning of the major protein from seeds of t. esculenta (talisin), a member of ... | 2009 | 20001918 |
