    1457 Words  | 3 Pages

    3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Phytochemical analysis Phytochemicals, especially phenolics are known to be major bioactive compounds for health benefits. Plant extracts containing different classes of polyphenols are very attractive in the food industry. Therefore, in this study, the total phenolics content and total flavonoids content of the faba beans’ extract were investigated. Folin-Ciocalteu phenol method estimated a total phenolic content of 22.415 GAE equivalents (µg GAE/mg sample). The presence

  • Faba Bean Case Study

    higher row spacing (50-70cm) in faba bean resulted in the greatest grain yield (50-52%) with a reduction at the narrow spacing. Abdel Latif (2008) investigated the effect of plant spacing (10, 20, and 30 cm) on yield and yield components of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and indicated that increasing plant spacing increased the number of pods per plant and pods per main stem

    Post-translational modifications have a profound influence on the structure and function of many proteins. Dystroglycan (DG) is an example of a membrane protein that requires extensive post-translational processing in order to function as an extracellular matrix receptor. It is comprised of two subunits, an extracellular -DG subunit and a transmembrane -DG subunit, which are derived by cleavage of a polypeptide encoded by DAG1 (1). The apparent molecular mass (Mr) of -DG as assessed by SDS-PAGE
