Abstract:
... Three fibrous corn wet-milling fractions, coarse fiber, fine fiber, and spent flake, were isolated. More highly valued uses are sought for these milling products, which are generally directed into the corn gluten feed product stream. Coarse fiber was further dissected into pericarp and aleurone layers. An alkaline hydrogen peroxide process was used to efficiently extract corn fiber gum (CFG) from ...

Subject:
Polygonum hydropiper; antifungal properties; mechanism of action; pyrophosphatases; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; plasma membrane; sesquiterpenoids
Abstract:
... The primary antifungal action of polygodial comes in part from its ability to function as a nonionic surfactant, disrupting the lipid-protein interface of integral proteins and denaturing their conformation. As a result, the antifungal mechanism of this sesquiterpene dialdehyde is associated with the membrane functions or derangement of the membrane. For example, the glucose-induced medium acidifi ...
