Obtaining biologically active substances from Amaranthus caudatus L. seeds in one technological cycle.

Nowadays, amaranth is a valuable multipurpose crop and a source of a number of very important biologically active substances. The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive scheme for obtaining fatty oil, triterpenoids and lectin from the seeds of Amaranthus caudatus L. in one technological cycle.

[Identification of components of the milky juice of Lactarius pergamenus (Fr.)Fr fungi by gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry].

The authors have proposed method of separation of methanol extract of Lactarius pergamenus basidiomes and investigation of fractions extracted with hexane which, according to our previous studies, possess the highest antiproliferative and antifungal activity. Main attention was given to fractionation and analysis by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC/MS) of the fraction 1.4 extracted with hexane.

[A new mannose-specific lectin from daylily (Hemerocallis fulva L.) rhizome: purification and properties].

A new lectin was purified from the daylily (Hemerocallis fulva L.) with the yield of approximately 10 mg per kg of fresh plant rhizome. The purification procedure was based on application of the affinity chromathography on the column with yeast mannan and the ion-exchange chromatography on the column with DEAE-Toyopearl.

Purification of a lectin from fruit bodies of Lactarius pergamenus (Fr.) Fr. and studies of its properties.

A lectin was purified from fruit bodies of the milk mushroom Lactarius pergamenus (Fr.) Fr. by a combination of ethanol precipitation, affinity chromatography on copolymer of polyvinyl alcohol and human blood B-group-specific substance, and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl.
