AB  - In Japan, adzuki bean is cooked with rice. During the cooking, the colour of rice becomes pale red. It is postulated that the red pigment is produced from procyanidins and that the ingestion of red rice causes the production of nitric oxide ((NO)-N-center dot) in the stomach by reacting with salivary nitrite. The increase in colour intensity accompanied the decrease in the amounts of procyanidins, suggesting the conversion of procyanidins into the red pigment during the cooking. In addition, the red pigment combined with rice strongly. The red-coloured rice produced (NO)-N-center dot by reacting with nitrite in artificial gastric juice, and the amounts were dependent on the contents of procyanidins and the equivalents. It is suggested that although adzuki procyanidins were oxidised during cooking with rice, procyanidins and the equivalents bound to rice still have the ability to produce bioactive (NO)-N-center dot in the stomach using nitrite in mixed whole saliva.

AB  - We investigated metal accumulation in bamboo leaves during three seasons at three urban locations differing in pollution levels. The higher content of Cu, Pb, and Zn in the leaves was in correlation with the highest bioavailable content of these elements in the soil at the most polluted location. The content of leaf trace elements was higher in summer and autumn compared to spring. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed that Si accumulation in bamboo leaves was the highest in epidermis and vascular tissue, and was co-localized with trace metals. Analysis of phytoliths showed co-deposition of Al, C, and Si, implying the involvement of Si in metal detoxification. Compared to a common urban tree, linden, bamboo showed better capacity to maintain cellular redox homeostasis under deteriorated environmental conditions. The results suggest that bamboo can be efficiently used for biomonitoring of air and soil metal pollution and remediation in urban areas.
