ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of banana leaf extract on the quality and shelf life of rainbow trout compared to plastic bags at freezing temperature for 40 days. For evaluating this propose, the antioxidant activity of banana leaf extract was assessed. In addition, the shelf life of fish filets was determined by measuring thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and pHof fish. The banana leaves extract showed the highest content of vitamin E (5.8 ± 0.61 mg /g) and carotenoids (12.8 ± 0.1 mg /g). The potential of Cu (II) reduction the extract was 1.76 ± 0.09. The magnitude of modification in TBA and pH of the packed fish with banana leaves were less than the control samples. The present study demonstrated that the use of banana leaf extract will retard lipid oxidation in fish. fillet during freezing storage that may due to its strong antioxidant properties.
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do extrato de folhas de bananeira sobre a qualidade e vida de prateleira da truta arco-íris comparada a sacolas plásticas na temperatura de congelamento por 40 dias. Para avaliar essa proposta, foi determinada a atividade antioxidante do extrato de folhas de bananeira. Além disso, a vida de prateleira dos filés de peixe foi determinada medindo o ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBA) e o pH do peixe. O extrato de folhas de bananeira apresentou o maior teor de vitamina E (5,8 ± 0,61 mg/g) e carotenóides (12,8 ± 0,1 mg/g). O potencial de redução de Cu (II) no extrato foi de 1,76 ± 0,09. A magnitude da modificação no TBA e pH do peixe embalado com folhas de bananeira foi menor que as amostras controle. O presente estudo demonstrou que o uso de extrato de folhas de bananeira é capaz de retardar a oxidação lipídica no filé de peixe durante o armazenamento de congelamento, devido às suas fortes propriedades antioxidantes.

Objectives: To elucidate the possible ways by which hydroxyurea molecules affect globin chain (αor β-like) synthesis.Methods:5 and 26 years were treated for five months with 15 mg/(kg·day) of hydroxyurea. Hemoglobins electrophoresis and globin chain electrophoresis was performed on each sample at different time points before and during the treatment. A total of 23 thalassemia intermedia patients (13 male and 10 female) aged between Results: Fetal hemoglobin increased significantly in most patients and average episodes of transfusion decreased. Both Gγ and Aγ-globin chains increased significantly andα-globin:Nonα-globin chain as well as Gγ-globin:Aγ globin chains ratios decreased. Conclusions: Improvement in α:non-α ratio and consequent decrease of free α-globin chain might be the cause of beneficial effects of hydroxyurea therapy. Two patients who felt better didn’t show significant increase in their fetal hemoglobin level, and this is in contradiction with the hypothesis claiming that the HbF level increase is the cause of such therapeutic effect. In spite of the unclear mechanism of action of this drug, hydroxyurea therapy had noticeable impacts on thalassemia intermedia and also sickle cell disease and even patients suffering from thalassemia major.
