Selenium content of Brazil nuts from two geographic locations in Brazil
Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa) natively contain very high concentrations of selenium. Since dietary selenium, including Brazil nuts, have been associated with protection against tumor developme...
A single serving of Brazil nuts may bring cholesterol levels down faster than statin drugs and keep them down even a month after that single ingestion.
Bioactivity of selenium from Brazil nut for cancer prevention and selenoenzyme maintenance
Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) is one of very few consumable products with exceptionally high levels of selenium. The mean selenium concentrations of two shipments of Brazil nut used in the pres...
Although Brazil nut is a nutrient-dense nut known to be the dietary source with the highest concentration of selenium, there are few studies about the nutritional value of its co-products as well a...
Ber e 1, a major Brazil nut allergen, has been successfully produced in the yeast Pichia pastoris expression system as homogenous recombinant Ber e 1 (rBer e 1) with similar physicochemical propert...
Selenium accumulation, speciation and localization in Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K.)
More than a billion people worldwide may be selenium (Se) deficient, and supplementation with Se-rich Brazil nuts may be a good strategy to prevent deficiency. Since different forms of Se have diff...
This work aimed to perform a heat treatment on biodegradable polymeric membranes produced by the electrospinning technique to be used in the retention of residual drugs from water. For this, a blen...
Purpose Evidence from epidemiological and clinical studies suggests that nut consumption provides satiety and may contribute to the management of obesity. However, the effect of acute intake of nut...
