[REPORT SUMMARY] Cytochemical potential of CPPs
Cytochemical studies aimed at the characterisation of dose-dependency concerning the cell activity and possible cytotoxic response of human cell culture model systems (PBL, HL-60, Caco-2, PML) to caseinophosphopeptide (CPP) preparations.
The results obtained with different cy...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Development of an enzyme immunoassay for determination of CPPs in foods and in biological fluids.
A unique competitive Enzyme Immuno Assay (EIA) with a broad specificity and a high sensitivity has been validated for detection and semi-quantification of "the whole CPPs" present in preparations obtained using different conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis.
Polyclonal antibod...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Evaluation of natural antifungal compounds in tomatoes
In addition to trans-resveratrol, the ability of other natural anti-fungal compounds to inhibit Botrytis infection has been evaluated and different methods and treatments were tested in order to enhance the endogenous concentrations of these compounds in fruits. In this direct...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Decontamination of meat and meat products using combinations of condensation at sub-atmospheric pressure and organic acids
The research carried out in this project determined the effects of rapid temperature cycles on microorganisms present on the surface of different meats (poultry with the skin on, raw lean beef and pork skin) and the synergistic effects of organic acids. It also quantified the ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] CPPs and calcium uptake
It was shown for the first time that CPPs promote the uptake of extra-cellular calcium by human intestinal HT-29 cells, a tumoral cell line that undergoes enterocytical differentiation in culture. The molecular features underlying this biological effect were explored, using th...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Procedure to measure chilling injury in tomatoes
Chilling injury is a disorder which develops in tomatoes and other fruits under low temperature storage conditions (but above freezing temperatures). The critical temperature below which injury occurs may range from just above the freezing point of the tissue to 10-12°C. Chill...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Tools for detection and analysis of Botrytis cinerea
We studied the mechanism of fruit spoilage derived from Botrytis cinerea (Botrytis) mould in tomato berry fruit. We examined growth habits, biochemistry and infectivity of five isolates of Botrytis cinerea (ref. 1) and we tested their infectivity on tomato fruits by RT-PCR app...
