Assessment of the Impact of Different Treatments on the Technological and Antifungal Properties of Papyrus (Cyperus Papyrus L.) Sheets.

ABSTRACT: In the present work, sheets of Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus L.), manufactured by lamination from strips pre-treated with different treatments, were evaluated for their technological and fungal infestation properties (Aspergillus flavus AFl375, A. niger Ani245 and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Cgl311). The results showed that the highest values of tensile strength, tear strength, burst index and double-fold number were observed in papyrus sheets produced from strips treated with nano-cellulose (0.25%), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO 10%), Tylose (0.25%) and nano-cellulose (0.5%), with values of 98.90 N·m/g, 2343.67 mN·m²/g, 1162 kpa·m²/g and 8.33, respectively. The percentage of brightness ranged from 49.7% (strips treated with KOH 2% + 100 mL NaClO) to 9.6% (strips treated with Eucalyptus camaldulensis bark extract 2%), while the percentage of darkness ranged from 99.86% (strips treated with Salix babylonica leaf extract 2% or E. camaldulensis bark extract 0.5%) to 67.26% (strips treated with NaOH (2%) + 100 mL NaClO). From the SEM examination, sheets produced from treated strips with extracts from P. rigida and E. camaldulensis or S. babylonica showed no growths of A. flavus and C. gloeosporioides. Additionally, other pre-treatments, such as Nano-cellulose+Tylose 0.5% (1:1 v/v) and Tylose 0.5%, were also found to have no growth of A. niger. In conclusion, strips pre-treated with nanomaterials and extracts were enhanced in terms of the technological and antifungal properties of produced Papyrus sheets, respectively.

Project description:Proteome wide protein quantification has become facile in the last years supported by label-free discovery proteomics approaches and powerful, easy to use software. We set out to independently evaluate this highly peptide centric technology focusing on the performance of some of the currently most popular quantitative proteomics software, Proteome Discoverer, Scaffold, MaxQuant and Progenesis QIP. The sample to sample variability introduced into protein abundance estimates by the technology itself, thereby affecting the validity of changes in protein abundance reported to be biological in nature, was determined. Using the same experimental design we were interested in the potential of shotgun proteomics to uncover biological contributions to changes in protein abundance in essentially isogenic plants grown under the same environmental conditions. The accuracy, precision, limit of quantification, intra-analysis repeatability and other performance metrics of protein quantification were determined with the softwares’ ready-to-run, default parameters and some modified settings. MaxQuant and Progenesis QIP each had decided advantages and exhibited direct proportionality between measured and actual protein abundance. The inherent variability in protein quantification in measurements of Arabidopsis thaliana proteomes was substantially higher than the biological sample to sample variability. Strikingly, correlation between Arabidopsis proteins quantified with MaxQuant and Progenesis QIP was poor due to differential protein inference. Both of these points warrant caution in the interpretation of shotgun proteomics studies. The abundance of around 99% of proteins was constant in repeated sampling of the Arabdiopsis thaliana Col-0 inbred accession; however a handful showed substantial quantitative variability. The function stress/stimulus response was highly significantly overrepresented for these proteins. Heritable information beyond genetic polymorphism that affects gene expression levels has recently been documented for these functions. We speculate on the potential of discovery proteomics to measure gene expression levels as a conduit of the epigenotype shaping quantitative traits.
