THE CONTENT OF POLYPHENOLS, ANTHOCYANINS AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF FRUIT TEA

U ovom radu ispitivan je utjecaj vremena i temperature maceracije tijekom pripreme voćnih čajeva (brusnica, borovnica, trešnja i šumsko voće) na sadržaj polifenola, antocijana, flavonoida, kondenziranih tanina i antioksidativnu aktivnost. Čajevi su macerirani pri 80 i 100 °C 5 donosno 8 minuta. Ispitivan je i utjecaj ponovljene maceracije istih čajeva na sadržaj navedenih komponenti. Maceracijom čajeva pri 100 °C, u uzorcima je određen veći sadržaj polifenola, antocijana, flavonoida i kondenziranih tanina, a vrijednosti antioksidativne aktivnosti su bile veće. Nakon ponovljene maceracije sadržaj polifenola, flavonoida i kondenziranih tanina bio je znatno manji. Vrijednosti antioksidativne aktivnosti su također bile niže nakon ponovljene maceracije.In this work, influence of time and temperature of maceration of fruit tea (cranberry, blueberry, cherry and wild fruit) on content of phenols, anthocyanins, flavonoides, condensed tannins and antioxidant activity was investigated. Maceration temperatures were 80 and 100 °C and maceration time 5 and 8 minutes. Also, influence of repeated maceration of same samples on mentioned parameters was investigated. All samples macerated at 100 °C had the highest content of phenols, anthocyanins, flavonoides, condensed tannins and antioxidant activity. After repeated maceration content of mentioned compounds and values of antioxidant activity were lower

The OMA orthology database in 2015: function predictions, better plant support, synteny view and other improvements

The Orthologous Matrix (OMA) project is a method and associated database inferring evolutionary relationships amongst currently 1706 complete proteomes (i.e. the protein sequence associated for every protein-coding gene in all genomes). In this update article, we present six major new developments in OMA: (i) a new web interface; (ii) Gene Ontology function predictions as part of the OMA pipeline; (iii) better support for plant genomes and in particular homeologs in the wheat genome; (iv) a new synteny viewer providing the genomic context of orthologs; (v) statically computed hierarchical orthologous groups subsets downloadable in OrthoXML format; and (vi) possibility to export parts of the all-against-all computations and to combine them with custom data for ‘client-side' orthology prediction. OMA can be accessed through the OMA Browser and various programmatic interfaces at http://omabrowser.or

HMF formation and colour change of bitter orange and sweet orange jams during storage

In this work influence of preparation on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and colour of bitter orange jams and sweet orange jams was investigated. Samples were prepared without and with treatment of oranges with ascorbic acid in order to investigate the influence on prevention of browning in jams. Samples were stored for 365 days at 4 °C and at room temperature and formation of HMF and colour change during storage were measured. After jam preparation bitter orange jams had higher HMF content than sweet orange jams (231 mg/kg and 58.3 mg/kg, respectively). Treatment of oranges with ascorbic acid increased formation of HMF during preparation of jams (261 mg/kg and 95 mg/kg for bitter and sweet orange jams). During storage the same tendency was observed. Also, difference in colour between sweet and bitter orange jams was observed. The highest colour change was observed in bitter orange jams (ΔE* = 5.66) with addition of ascorbic acid. In this work the importance of pH value of jams and storage temperature for HMF formation and colour was emphasised

The Quest for Orthologs orthology benchmark service in 2022

The Orthology Benchmark Service evaluation, supported and maintained by the Quest for Orthologs consortium. It is an essential resource to compare existing and new methods of orthology inference (the bedrock for many comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis) over a standard dataset and through common procedures. The Quest for Orthologs Consortium is dedicated to maintaining the resource up to date, through regular updates of the Reference Proteomes and increasingly accessible data through the OpenEBench platform. For this update, we have added a new benchmark based on curated orthology assertion from the Vertebrate Gene Nomenclature Committee, and provided an example meta-analysis of the public predictions present on the platform.ISSN:1362-4962ISSN:0301-561
