Effects Of Processing On Health-Promoting Attributes Of Soymilk Phenolics, Yingying Tan Jan 2010

Effects Of Processing On Health-Promoting Attributes Of Soymilk Phenolics, Yingying Tan

Biological Sciences

This study was designed to investigate the effects of different processing methods on the antioxidant and anti-cancer properties of soymilk crude phenolic extract (CPE) using the human prostate cancer cell line DU 145 as a model system. Four grinding methods and two ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing methods were investigated. Briefly, the four grinding methods included grinding with tap water (Method 1), okara-washed water (Method 2), soaked water (Method 3), as well as both okara-washed water and soaked water (Method 4); the two UHT processing conditions included one-phase UHT (143 °c, 60 s) and two-phase UHT (120 °C, 80 s + …

Over 16 million people in Latin America are infected with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), the causative agent of Chagas disease, and up to 50,000 infected people die annually due to complications during the chronic stage of the disease. To date, there are no vaccines or effective drugs to treat chronic Chagas disease. It is known that T. cruzi contains cell surface mucin-like glycoproteins with terminal α-galactosyl residues, and it is well established that they are highly immunogenic. The exact structure of the immunogenic carbohydrate epitopes, however, remains unknown. To determine which epitopes have the ability to interact …
