Brassica

facts and health benefits Brussels sprouts are leafy green small buds resembling a cabbage, but in a miniature form. They are full of nutrition. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, antioxidants, and dietary fibres. Brussels come from the Brassica family, along with cabbage, broccoli, kale, and collard greens. Brussels sprouts are winter crops growing well under light frosting and cool weather. Their height can be about as tall as 90 cm and being about 1.5 inches in diameter. They…

Investigation was carried out to assess the effect of salt concentration on quality of sauerkraut prepared from mature cabbage head. Cabbage sample were chopped in small pieces and mixed with different salt concentrations ie., 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 % and allowed to ferment for preparation of sauerkraut at ambient condition. Acidity of sauerkraut increased with increase in fermentation period and it reached maximum on 21 days after fermentation and thereafter it decreased in all the salt…

Introduction: - Mitochondria is a double membrane organelle that is found in all eukaryotic organism. There are some evidences that proves that some of the eukaryotic organism lack this organelle but there is no true evidence which says that this specific organism completely lacks mitochondria. Mitochondria is also known as a power house of the living body cell. It stores energies in the cell and releases when its needed. Every organelle in Mitochondria have their own specific roles which helps…

Km and Vmax determination of glucocerebrosidase towards p-NPG The Michaelis constant (Km) is a measure of the affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate, with smaller values representing greater affinity. Km and the maximum rate (Vmax) of leukocyte GCase were obtained through the Lineweaver-Burk plot (Figure 4) with artificial substrate p-NPG in concentrations from 0.71 mM to2.50 mM. Km and Vmax values for leukocyte GCase using p-NPG as substrate was found to be 12.6 mM and 333 U/mg…
