Moisture sorption isotherms and isosteric heat determination in Chilean papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens) [PDF]
The moisture sorption isotherms of Chilean papaya were determined at 5, 20, and 45 ºC, over a relative humidity range of 10-95%. The GAB, BET, Oswin, Halsey, Henderson, Smith, Caurie and Iglesias-Chirife models were applied to the sorption experimental ...

Vacuum drying of Chilean papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens) fruit pulp: effect of drying temperature on kinetics and quality parameters. [PDF]
Chilean papaya is grown in Central Chile and is considered to be an important source of fiber, sugars, and antioxidants. The effect of different vacuum drying temperatures (40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 °C) on the composition of papaya pulp was evaluated. The inhibitory effect of papaya extracts on α-glucosidase activity, as a regulator of blood sugar, was ...

PARTIAL SEQUENCES OF THE GENE THAT CODIFIES FOR THE TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR VPHSFB1 IN Vasconcellea pubescens. FIRST REPORT [PDF]
Plant heat stress transcription factors (HSFs) are involved in the response to heat. In Arabidopsis thaliana the HSFs genes are completely identified, however there was no information available about these genes in Vasconcellea pubescens (Chamburo) until

The Diverse Iron Distribution in Eudicotyledoneae Seeds: From Arabidopsis to Quinoa [PDF]
Seeds accumulate iron during embryo maturation stages of embryogenesis. Using Arabidopsis thaliana as model plant, it has been described that mature embryos accumulate iron within a specific cell layer, the endodermis.

The mountain papaya may be a possible reservoir of the Kashmir bee virus [PDF]
Background The Kashmir bee virus (KBV) infects many species of Hymenoptera, including bees, wasps, and other pollinators, potentially contributing to honeybee population declines. KBV can cause death of bees.

Supplementation of Garcinia mangostana Linn and Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC extract reduced exercise-induced oxidative stress in rats [PDF]
The objective of this study was to see how supplementation with Garcinia mangostana extract (GME) and Vasconcellea pubescens extract (VPE) affected exercise performance and oxidative stress in intensely exercised rats. Twenty-five male rats were used in the study. Rats were divided into five groups: normal, stress oxidative control, combination GME:VPE

Gen de control interno VpEf1α en Vasconcellea pubescens (chamburo) [PDF]
Los genes conocidos como “housekeeping” controlan o regulan procesos celulares básicos y permanecen activados siempre, independientemente de las condiciones experimentales o entre las células de diferentes tejidos. Vasconcellea pubescens, es una especie ampliamente distribuida en América del Sur y pertenece a la familia Caricaceae al igual que la ...
