Cordycepin, or 3'-deoxyadenosine, is a derivative of the nucleoside adenosine, differing from the latter by the replacement of the hydroxy group in the 3' position with a hydrogen. It was initially extracted from the fungus Cordyceps militaris , [ 1 ] but can now be produced synthetically. [ 2 ]
Like other members of the Cordyceps genus, C. militaris produces the pharmacologically active compound cordycepin. Cordycepin is a nucleoside analogue of adenosine-differing by only a single hydroxyl group. It has been shown to induce apoptosis, reduce inflammation, and inhibit RNA transcription in cell cultures.
Cordyceps / ˈ k ɔːr d ɪ s ɛ p s / is a genus of ascomycete fungi (sac fungi) that includes over 260 species worldwide, many of which are parasitic. Diverse variants of cordyceps have had more than 1,500 years of use in Chinese medicine. [1]
“Ideally, you would get wild foraged Cordyceps, but these are very hard to find, and would be very expensive if you did find them,” says D’Amato. Cordyceps are edible; some people consume ...
Demonstration at the Calgary Stampede of a traditional method of drying meat for pemmican. Traditionally, the meat was cut in thin slices and dried, either over a slow fire or in the hot sun until it was hard and brittle. Approximately 5 pounds (2,300 g) of meat are required to make 1 pound (450 g) of dried meat suitable for pemmican.
Also know that there are other claims being made about Red Dye No., such as its supposed effect of causing hyperactivity in children. There is no conclusive evidence that supports this assertion ...
The crusts of most breads, such as this brioche, are golden-brown mostly as a result of the Maillard reaction.. The Maillard reaction (/ m aɪ ˈ j ɑːr / my-YAR; French:) is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars to create melanoidins, the compounds that give browned food its distinctive flavor.
