Effects of basil seed gum, Cress seed gum and Quince seed gum on the physical, textural and rheological properties of whipped cream.
This study focuses on the physical, textural and rheological properties of low fat (LF) whipped cream with 30% fat content developed with Basil seed gum (BSG), Cress seed gum (CSG) and Quince seed gum (QSG) at the concentration of 0.1 and 0.3% (wt/wt) and comparison with high fat (HF) whipped cream sample (55%) as control. Flow curves were analyzed using Herschel bulkey and Carreau models through a fitting procedure. The rheological investigations confirmed that all samples were shear thinning fluid exhibiting a yield stress and thixotropy properties. The frequency sweep test showed that at the same gum concentration, mixe...

Macro- and Microelement Content and Other Properties of Chaenomeles japonica L. Fruit and Protective Effects of Its Aqueous Extract on Hepatocyte Metabolism.
Abstract
This growing interest in the cultivation of Japanese quince Chaenomeles japonica L. results from the potentially beneficial properties of its fruit. Fresh fruits are very firm and too acidic to eat raw, but their bioactive components, distinctive aroma, and high amount of dietary fiber make the fruits well suited for industrial processing. However, not all the properties of the fruit have been investigated. For example, there are no comprehensive reports about the mineral content or potentially harmful effects on liver metabolism. Hence, the purpose of our study was to examine fresh Japanese quinc...

Identification and characterization of an isolate of apple green crinkle associated virus involved in a severe disease of quince ( Cydonia oblonga , Mill.)
AbstractA quince tree showing severe symptoms of a previously undescribed viral disease occurring in northern Apulia (Italy) was analysed using high-throughput sequencing of small RNA libraries, leading to the identification of a new strain of apple green crinkle associated virus (isolate AGCaV-CYD) showing peculiar traits. RT-PCR with specific primers detected AGCaV-CYD in consistent association with symptoms in the surveyed orchards. Molecular characterization of the reconstructed genome, together with phylogenetic analysis, showed it to be closely related to an AGCaV strain causing green crinkle disease in apple (AGCaV-...

News from Tartary: an ethnopharmacological approach to drug and therapeutic discovery
Ethnopharmacology aims to identify new therapeutic agents based on their traditional use. It begins by the identification of disease states, and of the traditional therapies for these, most commonly herbals. Herbals of interest are selected from ethnopharmacological surveys, and tested on experimental models of the diseases of interest. Once the activity of the traditional remedy is demonstrated, including dose‐dependence, if possible comparatively to reference medications, the active ingredients can be explored, if possible using bioguided extraction. Identified molecules can then be further developed as medicinal produ...

Efficacy of a Nasal Spray from Citrus limon and Cydonia oblonga for the Treatment of Hay Fever Symptoms—A Randomized, Placebo Controlled Cross‐Over Study
Nasal spray from lemon and quince (LQNS) is used to treat hay fever symptoms and has been shown to inhibit histamine release from mast cells in vitro. Forty‐three patients with grass pollen allergy (GPA) were randomized to be treated either with placebo or LQNS for one week, respectively, in a cross‐over study. At baseline and after the respective treatments patients were provoked with grass pollen allergen. Outcome parameters were nasal flow measured with rhinomanometry (primary), a nasal symptom score, histamine in the nasal mucus and tolerability. In the per protocol population absolute inspiratory nasal flow 10 and...

Chinese vegetative materia medica in a venereological treatise by Jean Astruc from 1740
Conclusions Antisyphilitic actions ascribed to the Chinese medical formulas and their constituents studied by Astruc, seem to have come from Hg or As compounds rather than from vegetative materia medica. The formulas contained only one species still known in TCM as a remedy for syphilis. Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Ethnopharmacology)

Characterization of emulsion stabilization properties of quince seed extract as a new source of hydrocolloid
This study investigates the physical stability, rheology and microstructure of oil (sunflower oil) in water emulsions, stabilized by 2% (w/v) whey protein isolate with varying concentrations of xanthan and quince seed gum. Quince seed gum resulted in emulsions with smaller low-shear viscosities and shear thinning capabilities compared to same concentrations of xanthan. Quince seed gum emulsions with concentrations ≤ 0.1 (w/v), displayed rapid creaming due to bridging flocculation. Despite the difference in apparent viscosities, for gum concentrations <0.2 (w/v), both gums demonstrated comparable stability with xan...
