Lectins from Parkia biglobosa and Parkia platycephala: A comparative study of structure and biological effects.

Only registered users can translate articles

The relation structure-activity of the Mimosoideae lectins of Parkia platycephala (PPL) and Parkia biglobosa (PBL) was analyzed in this study. PBL was solved by X-ray crystallography at a resolution of 2.1Å, and the crystal structure belonged to the C2221 space group. Structural organization and

The first crystal structure of a Mimosoideae lectin reveals a novel quaternary arrangement of a widespread domain.

The crystal structures of the apo and mannose-bound Parkia platycephala seed lectin represent the first structure of a Mimosoideae lectin and a novel circular arrangement of beta-prism domains, and highlight the adaptability of the beta-prism fold as a building block in the evolution of plant

Is the orofacial antinociceptive effect of lectins intrinsically related to their specificity to monosaccharides?

Only registered users can translate articles

Lectins are proteins of non-immunological origin that may play several biological applications, of which we can highlight the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. In this work, we evaluated the possible effect of orofacial antinociceptive activity of three plant lectins, Dioclea

Effect of processing on nutrient composition and anti-nutritive substances of African locust bean (Parkia filicoidea) and baobab seed (Adansonia digitata).

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of various processing techniques on nutrient composition and anti-nutritional factors in baobab seeds (Adansonia digitata L.) and locust beans (Parkia filicoidea L.) were investigated. The methods used for processing include boiling in water, acid or alkali and fermentation. Using the

Microbiological and chemical changes during the fermentation of African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) to produce afitin, iru and sonru, three traditional condiments produced in Benin.

African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) was processed to produce afitin, iru and sonru, three different types of condiment from Benin. Whereas the fermentation of African locust bean to produce afitin is carried out for 24 h without using any additive, the fermentation for iru and sonru production

Comparison of physicochemical and functional properties of flour and starch extract in different methods from Africa locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) seeds.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND African locust bean tree is an important food tree for both human and livestock such as husks and pods. It plays a very vital role in the rural areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate some physicochemical, mineral characteristics and functional properties of flour and starch extract

Effect of processing on proximate composition, anti-nutrient status and amino acid content in three accessions of African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa (jacq.) benth.

Only registered users can translate articles

Proximate composition, amino acid levels and anti-nutrient factors (polyphenols, phytic acid and oxalate) in the seeds of Parkia biglobosa were determined at three stages: raw, boiled and fermented. The highest anti-nutrient factor present in the raw state was oxalate, while phytic acid was the

Purification and partial characterization of a new lectin from Parkia panurensis Benth. ex H.C.Hopkins seeds (Leguminosae family; Mimosoideae subfamily) and evaluation of its biological effects.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lectins are proteins that have as one of their main characteristics recognizing and reversibly binding to carbohydrates. In this work, it was possible to purify and characterize a lectin from Parkia panurensis (Leguminosae family; Mimosoideae subfamily) seeds by a combination of the techniques:

Comparative study on proximate, functional, mineral, and antinutrient composition of fermented, defatted, and protein isolate of Parkia biglobosa seed.

Only registered users can translate articles

The use of plant-derived foods in the prevention, treatment, and management of metabolic diseases especially diabetes has gained prominence; this has been associated with their physicochemical properties. This study was conducted to compare the proximate, functional, mineral, and antinutrient

Differential effect of plant lectins on mast cells of different origins.

Only registered users can translate articles

Histamine release induced by plant lectins was studied with emphasis on the carbohydrate specificity, external calcium requirement, metal binding sites, and mast cell heterogeneity and on the importance of antibodies bound to the mast cell membrane to the lectin effect. Peritoneal mast cells were

Parkia platycephala lectin enhances the antibiotic activity against multi-resistant bacterial strains and inhibits the development of Haemonchus contortus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lectins have been studied in the past few years as an alternative to inhibit the development of pathogenic bacteria and gastrointestinal nematodes of small ruminants. The development of new antibacterial and anthelmintic compounds is necessary owing to the increase in drug resistance among important

In vitro digestibility of bacillus fermented soya bean.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bacillus fermented legume products include among others dawadawa and soumbala made from African locust bean, and natto and kinema made from soya bean. Bacillus subtilis is the dominant species involved in the fermentation. During Bacillus fermentation for 48 h of autoclaved soya bean the quantity of

Exudates as a fallback food for Callimico goeldii.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fallback foods have been defined as resources for which a species has evolved specific masticatory and digestive adaptations, and are consumed principally when preferred foods are scarce. In the present field investigation, we examine fungi, fruit, and exudate consumption in one group of Callimico

Underutilised legumes: potential sources for low-cost protein.

Only registered users can translate articles

Seeds of 104 leguminous species belonging to 17 genera were analysed for their protein contents. The promising ones were investigated for fibre, carbohydrate, ash, oil, fatty acids, amino acid profile and trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA). The variation of fibre contents was 4.1-8.9%, carbohydrate

A review of implications of antiquality and toxic components in unconventional feedstuffs advocated for use in intensive animal production in Nigeria.

Only registered users can translate articles

There are a number of unconventional feed resources in Nigeria. Most are rich sources of plant protein. Since protein is the most expensive and limiting nutrient in tropical livestock nutrition, these unconventional feed resources may fill a gap in protein deficiency. However, most contain
