Food Defense

branches generally bear only old leaves with no domatia and therefore have no ants, whereas younger branches have leaves of various ages. Ants forage mainly on new leaves, and experimental removal of ants showed that A. octoarticulatus is crucial for defense of these leaves against insect herbivores. However, A. octoarticulatus also acts as a castration parasite, severing the plant’s inflorescences. Mature flowers and fruits were only found on older branches with no ants, and flower…

Laurencia catarinensis Cordeiro-Marinho & Fujii, a typical species of the Brazilian coast, was recently related as chemically defended. However, very little is known about the response of generalist and specialist herbivores to this chemical defense and how these different life stages are consumed by these organisms. The aim of this work was to evaluate the defensive property of crude extracts of haploid and diploid phases of L. catarinensis against the generalist sea urchin…

Plant based foods are often used as an alternative protein source by developing societies. However, the biological availability of these proteins, together with other plant nutrients, is often hampered by the presence of antinutrients, compounds produced by the plants as a response against external agressions. As vegetable foods play a major role in our diet, it is of crucial importance the knowledge of the interactions between those compounds and the human organism and with other food…

FAO/ WHO de Peritos em Aditivos Alimentares (JECFA - Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) estabeleceu uma IDA “não especificada” para o MSG, o que significa que ele não apresenta risco à saúde quando usado como aditivo alimentar (FAO/WHO, 1988). Já nos Estados Unidos da América, em 1958, a Agência Regulatória para Alimentos, Medicamentos e Cosméticos dos Estados Unidos da América (US FDA - Food and Drug Administration) classificou o MSG como ingrediente…
