1. Functional properties and Bioactivities of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala berry plant: a review
Abstract In treating various diseases, natural therapies are widely preferred in the modern era to synthetic drugs as they offer little or no side effects, in contrast to synthetic drugs. However, there is limited scientific knowledge about plants that have a broad range of medicinal properties. Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala, native to Thailand and gene

2. Quantum Chemical Investigation of the Intramolecular Copigmentation Complex of an Acylated Anthocyanin
Anthocyanins are the natural plant pigments responsible for most of the red, blue and purple colors of flowers and fruit. One method of stabilization of the color of anthocyanins in nature is intramolecular copigmentation, in which a copigment molecule covalently attached to one of the sugar residues complexes with the anthocyanin cation chromophore. In the

3. Screening of Auricularia auricula strains for strong production ability of melanin pigments
Abstract Melanin pigments have great application value and development potential in food industry to use as nature functional food colorants. In initial study, twenty-two Auricularia auricula strains were screened for stronger production ability of melanin pigments by solid culture. Three A. auricula strains (RF201, QD2 and QD6) with higher pigment productio

4. Extração, micronização e estabilização de pigmentos funcionais : construção de uma unidade multipropósito para desenvolvimento de processos com fluídos pressurizados / Extractionm micronization and stabilization of functional pigments : construction of multipurpose unit for pressurized fluid process development
The food industry is continuously searching compounds that present physical and chemical properties to improve their products. Most of them are additives with antioxidant properties, colorants or additives with positive effects to human health. Natural additives are always preferred to synthetic compounds. Flavonoids and carotenoids are two of the major func

5. Estudos dos pigmentos visuais de macaco-prego (cebus sp) e da relação entre a psicofísica e a genética da visão de cores em humanos / Study of the visual pigments from capuchin monkey (Cebus sp) and the psychophysics and the genetics colour vision relationship in humans
Color vision is possible due to different types of photoreceptors and to the post receptoral processing of the information generated after cell activation by the light. Genetic, functional and morphological analysis can be used as tools in the color vision studies. In the present work the genetic of the visual pigments from Cebus sp and the genetic and the p

6. Carotenoid biosynthesis structural genes in carrot (Daucus carota): isolation, sequence-characterization, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and genome mapping.
Carotenoid pigments are important components of the human diet and carrots are the main dietary sources of the vitamin A precursors IX- and /3- carotene. Carotenoids play essential biological roles in plants and the genes coding for the carotenoid pathway enzymes are evolutionarily conserved, but little information exists about these genes for carrot. In thi

7. Carotenoides e compostos bioativos : relação com propriedades anti-radical livre e corante em frutas tropicais / Carotenoids and bioactive compounds : relationship between free radical scavenger properties and color in tropical fruits
The increased demand for high life quality has been associated to healthy food, increasing the industry interest for functional foods, which are defined as any food or bioactive compounds with potential to be benefic for the consumer health. The bioactive compounds found in foods, such as carotenoids, phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid (AA) are involved wi

8. Composition of carotenoids and anthocyanins from acerola : stability and antioxidant activity of anthocyaninc extracts from acerola and açai in model-systems. / Composição de carotenoides e antocianinas em acerola : estabilidade e atividade antioxidante em sistemas-modelo de extratos antocianicos de acerola e de açai.
Natural pigments, such as anthocyanins and carotenoids, are responsible for the colors found in foods, influencing its visual aspect, which is considered the main attribute for the acceptance and preference of a food product. At the same time, these pigments show important biological functions and actions, being considered human health promoters. The associa

9. Produção, purificação, clonagem e aplicação de enzimas líticas
Lytic enzymes such as beta-1,3 glucanases, proteases and chitinases are able to hydrolyse, respectively, beta-1,3 glucans, mannoproteins and chitin, as well as the cell walls of many yeast species. Lytic enzymes are useful in a great variety of applications including the preparation of protoplasts; the extraction of proteins, enzymes, pigments and functional

10. Single amino acid residue as a functional determinant of rod and cone visual pigments
The visual transduction processes in rod and cone photoreceptor cells begin with photon absorption by the different types of visual pigments. Cone visual pigments exhibit faster regeneration from 11-cis-retinal and opsin and faster decay of physiologically active intermediate (meta II) than does the rod visual pigment, rhodopsin, as expected, due to the func

11. Parallelism of amino acid changes at the RH1 affecting spectral sensitivity among deep-water cichlids from Lakes Tanganyika and Malawi
Many examples of the appearance of similar traits in different lineages are known during the evolution of organisms. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms have been elucidated in very few cases. Here, we provide a clear example of evolutionary parallelism, involving changes in the same genetic pathway, providing functional adaptation of RH1 pigments to

12. Vertebrate ultraviolet visual pigments: Protonation of the retinylidene Schiff base and a counterion switch during photoactivation
For visual pigments, a covalent bond between the ligand (11-cis-retinal) and receptor (opsin) is crucial to spectral tuning and photoactivation. All photoreceptors have retinal bound via a Schiff base (SB) linkage, but only UV-sensitive cone pigments have this moiety unprotonated in the dark. We investigated the dynamics of mouse UV (MUV) photoactivation, fo
