1. Thylakoid membrane from spinach - effect of processing on their function as appetite suppressing ingredient
Sammanfattning : Western diet contains a high proportion of palatable food, rich in refined carbohydrates and fat, that subsequently increases the risk of overconsumption and possibly leads to overweight and obesity. Therefore an approach to strengthen the inherent satiety for fat can be used to prevent overconsumption. LÄS MER
2. Calcium transporting ATPases in plant cells
Sammanfattning : Plant cells carry Ca2+ ATPases to maintain the low resting level of cytosolic Ca2+ (0.1-0.2 µM) found in all eukaryotes. Plant Ca2+ ATPases are mainly located in the plasma membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum and in the vacuolar membrane, and consequently large Ca2+ gradients are created across these membranes. LÄS MER
3. The xanthophyll cycle, its enzymes, pigments and regulation
Sammanfattning : The xanthophyll cycle involves the light-dependent and reversible conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin. Zeaxanthin has been implicated in the protection of the photosynthetic machinery from over-excitation. The enzyme violaxanthin de-epoxidase catalyses the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin.

4. Vacuum Impregnation of Spinach Tissue: Metabolic Consequences and their Potential Industrial Applications
Sammanfattning : Vacuum impregnation (VI) is a unit operation that allows the introduction of solutions into the porous structure of plant tissues. The plant tissue is immersed in the solution of interest and is then subjected to partial vacuum, causing the removal of air from the tissue. LÄS MER
5. Studies on spinach plastocyanin and mutants : Expression in Escherichia coli, folding and function
Sammanfattning : Photosynthesis is a process in which photons from sunlight excite chlorophylls in the thylakoid membranes of plants, algae and cyanobacteria. The photo-oxidised reaction centre chlorophyll P700 is re-reduced by an electron transferred from the soluble, blue copper protein plastocyanin. LÄS MER
