Article Synopsis
  • Optimal callus induction was achieved with leaf explants in a medium that combined certain plant hormones, leading to a 100% success rate.
  • Leaf extracts had higher alkaloid content and displayed stronger cytotoxic activity against the HeLa cell line compared to callus extracts, indicating the potential of these plant tissues in producing bioactive compounds for medicinal purposes.

Using calcium salts instead of lime allows for an ecological nixtamalization of maize grains, where the negative contamination impact of the traditional lime nixtamalization is reduced. This work assessed the effects of calcium carbonate (0.0-2.

The electrochemical properties of gelatinized starch dispersions (GSD; 5% w/w) from different botanical sources were studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests over a platinum surface. The phenomenological modelling of EIS data using equivalent circuits indicated that after gelatinization the electrical resistance was determined mainly by the resistance of insoluble material (i.e.
