Kinetic study of peroxidase enzyme in the presence of purine alkaloids
Peroxidase catalyzes different oxidation of substrates using hydrogen peroxide, a reactive oxygen specie (ROS). ROS, at low concentrations, act as messenger to regulate intracellular signaling, whereas, at high concentrations, they can overcome the ...

Two components of cocoa powder, caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) and theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine), were evaluated for their effect on growth of L. monocytogenes strain V7. Caffeine (0.5%) and theobromine (2.5%) were added singly or in combination to skim milk or a modified tryptose phosphate broth (MTPB), which were sterilized, inoculated to ...
