    This research paper showed a low level of milk (casein) protein to have a protective effect against liver tumors. Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins that are produced by the species Aspergillus. Aflatoxin has a known ability to produce hepatocellular carcinoma and is one of the most carcinogenic compounds in nature (2). They are also found abundantly in plant derived foods that have been contaminated, especially in the economically developing world (2). Additionally, foods high in Glutathione help to clear the body of carcinogens (4).In a paper by Dr. Campbell, he states that AFb conjugates with GSH at the surface of a transferase (glutathione-s-transferase) in the liver, and with transferase B (ligandin) (4).…

    During the course of this lab, we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel, 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the Census). At this rate, Genetically Modified Organisms within food products will increase dramatically, but is this for the best? There are many risk factors that have been brought up with genetically modified foods such as potential increase of cancer according to a French study conducted by Dr. Giles Eric Seralini (Kilham, 2012).…

    Extraction from nutmeg

    • 341 Words
    • 2 Pages

    PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment was to illustrate the extraction of a solid natural product from its natural source by partition with the aid of an organic solvent. Extraction is the process by which a compound or mixtures of, is transferred by separation from one phase into another. In this case, the major triglyceride contains a single fatty acid identified as myristic acid. It is a substituent of the triglyceride called trimyristin, which embodies 20-25% of the dried weight of ground nutmeg we will eventually use in this experiment. The purpose of this lab is to extract trimyristin from nutmeg with the organic substance, diethyl ether, to evidently produce trimyristin with a small portion of myristicin (solid-liquid extraction). Also, it is good to know that due to impurity the best way purify the product of trimyristin is by recrystallization through hot acetone.…

    Genetically engineered and modified foods are not only one of the worlds prime concerns, but have recently developed into one of the most widely debated issues in all of North America. Arguments aside, the problem is going to be one that the world is going to have to feel the results of, whether prepared or not. Newly expanded research regarding biotechnology presents a willing audience with a whole new outlook on just how far scientific investigation and expansion can go. The accelerating rate, at which these new progressions are being made, is a potential threat to the health of the people who are deemed the so called guinea pigs. Although it is deemed by some that genetically modified foods that are approved are considered by the government to be safe as their traditional counterpart there are still many effects that serve consideration before being labeled as "safe". The outcome of these new manufactured goods is still unfamiliar to the consumer because the products are just too new and innovated at this point. Through the examination of the effects of engineered crops on agriculture, the experimentation and distribution concerns, and the scientific evaluation of increased toxicity levels and antibiotic immunities, one will unmistakably be able to see how genetically engineered and modified foods are not a trend that citizens should not buy into.…

    Aspergillus Spp. :- is a genus of Hyphomycetes and reproduce only by sexual spores and the stature that bear sexual spore is most important taxonomy; spore-bearing cells distinguishes Aspergillus from Penicillium, as phialide production in Penicillium and a related genus is always successive, not simultaneous (Hocking, 2006). The genus was first described almost 300 years ago and is an important genus in foods, both from the point of view of spoilage and mycotoxins production (Pitt and Hocking, 1997). There are over 200 species of Aspergillus occupy divers ecology worldwide; within section the two predominantly aflatoxin producing species are A. flavus and A. parasitucus (Pitt and hocking,…

    aflatoxin

    • 1888 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring mycotoxin produced by three types of mold: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Asperilligus nomius (more rare). Aspergillus flavus is common and widespread in nature and is most often found when certain grains are grown under stressful conditions such as drought. The mold occurs in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains undergoing microbiological deterioration and invades all types of organic substrates whenever and wherever the conditions are favorable for its growth. Favorable conditions include high moisture content and high temperature, though growth can occur at quite low moisture levels and a broad range of temperature (13-37 degrees Celcius). At least 13 different types of aflatoxin are produced in nature with aflatoxin B1 considered as the most toxic. While the presence of Aspergillus flavus does not always indicate harmful levels of aflatoxin it does mean that the potential for aflatoxin production is present.…
