Pelargonidin 3-glucoside (pgd 3-glu), pelargonidin 3-sophoroside (pgd 3-soph),
and pelargonidin 3-sophoroside 5-glucoside acylated with cinnamic and malonic acids
(acyl-pgd 3-soph 5-glu) were extracted from strawberries (Fragaria anannassa cv,
Totem), nasturtium flowers (Tropaeolum majus), and radish peel (Raphanus sativus L.
cv, fuego), respectively. Their stability was studied in natural and model...
Carrots were cooked to the just tender stage in a saucepan and
in a pressure saucepan for appropriate lengths of time to make them
approximately equal in tenderness as determined by a panel of
judges and the Kramer Shear Press. A third lot of carrots was
cooked in a pressure...
Mimicry, obscure colors, and secondary sexual colors were
important classes of observations that were analyzed by nineteenth
century biologists from several vantage points. Adherents of the
doctrine of special creation of fixed species believed animal colors
to be evidence of design; Darwin and Wallace and their successors
suggested that a...
Red radish anthocyanin extract (RAE) was investigated for coloring brined
cherries as an alternative to FD&C Red No. 40. Red radish (Raphanus sativus L.)
anthocyanins were extracted from liquid nitrogen powdered epidermal tissue using
acetone, partitioned with chloroform, and isolated using C-18 resin. The monomeric
anthocyanin content was determined by...

Detection of both biological and chemical environmental toxicants is essential in the assessment of risk to human health. Cell-based biosensors are capable of activity- based detection of toxicity. Chromatophore cells, responsible for the pigmentation of poikilothermic animal, have shown immense potential as cell-based biosensors in the detection of a broad...
Pasteurization radiation offers a new means of extending the
refrigerated storage life of foods. This procedure avoids many of
the undesirable changes which result when sterilization radiation is
used and still eliminates most of the spoilage organisms.
Shrimp was treated with 5 ppm chlortetracycline and subjected
to pasteurization levels of...
