Apocarotenoids are allosteric effectors of a dimeric plant glycosyltransferase involved in defense and lignin formation

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 2080-2098, June 2023., 2023
Summary Glycosyltransferases are nature's versatile tools to tailor the functionalities of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and small molecules by transferring sugars. Prominent substrates are hydroxycoumarins such as scopoletin, which serve as natural plant protection agents.

Encapsulation of Hydrophobic Bioactive Substances for Food Applications: Carriers, Techniques, and Biosafety

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Biologically active substances (BASs) are used as novel ingredients to design functional foods. These functional foods are alternate approaches to treat or cure chronic diseases. However, the application of BASs is limited due to their hydrophobic nature, low bioavailability, sensitivity to gastric acid, and environmental conditions (i.e., high ...

A2E quantification after norbixin water supplementation. [PDF]

, 2016
Two-month-old Abca4-/- Rdh8-/- mice were treated for 3 months with drinking water supplemented with 0.5 mg/mL norbixin or vehicle. Eyes from five-month old and two-month old Abca4-/- Rdh8-/- mice were also analysed and served as controls. NT: non treated.

The Annatto Carotenoids and the Norbixin Absorption Coefficient

Revista do Instituto Adolfo Lutz, 2018
Annatto seeds present cis-bixin as the major carotenoids, but the norbixin salt is the main pigment present in dyes obtained from the alkaline extraction process. For analyzing the norbixin, the absorptions are obtained in the two spectral peaks with higher intensity, but discrepanciesin the published extinction values have led to serious doubts ...
