AB  - This study aimed to develop a fast and reliable protocol for Trinitrophenol-Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TNP-Tris) detection applying a beta-lactamase-fusion protein of choice, the natural product-based immunoreagent tool of competitive sensitivity developed herein for the first time. Since the fusion protein 11B3-scFv-beta-lactamase is constructed from a scFv-antibody (11B3) linked to an enzyme (beta-lactamase), the step related to the use of secondary antibody in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is completely omitted. Indeed, this fusion protein itself serves both as binding mean of the antigen model and detecting agent, due to the presence of the naturally occurring enzyme. In such a way, it actually affords the one-step TNP-Tris detection reaching a promising LOD value of 45 +/- 2 fmol or 157 +/- 6 pg/mL. Taken all together, the current protocol does represent much cheaper and significantly less-time consuming alternative compared both to the recombinant antibodies and recombinant phages, previously designed means in our labs for the same purpose.

AB  - This study focuses on the impact of low and high temperature regimes on the chemical composition and antioxidativity of low sugar berry fruits jellies. High quality fruits (strawberry, raspberry and blackberry) were collected from Western Serbia region, quite well recognised both nationally and internationally due to an extremely well developed practice in growing berry fruits. The obtained results have clearly indicated the importance of low temperature regime for enriched contents of both total phenolics and anthocyanins followed by an enhanced antioxidativity. Rubus fruticosus L. Cacak Thornless cultivar, the only autochthonous berry fruit variety screened herein, may be firmly recommended as a raw material for industrial production of low sugar blackberry jellies with exceptional characteristics. This innovative procedure of preparing berry fruit jellies have encompassed the application of low temperature regime (55 degrees C), lower content of sugar (40%), seeds separation from jellies followed by no use of pectin throughout the whole process.

AB  - This study aimed to estimate the quality (in terms of standard chemical parameters, total antioxidative activity /AO/ and thermal properties) of the fresh strawberry (Fragaria xananassa L. Duch.), raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) and blackberry (Rubus fruticosusL.) samples grown in the Western Serbia. The examined blackberry variety was found to exhibit the most potent AO (DPPH /2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl/ assay, EC50 4.05 +/- 0.22 mu g and ARP 0.25 +/- 0.03 mu g(-1); Hydroxo-Perhydroxyl Mercury(II) Complex /HPMC/ assay, 0.072 +/- 0.007%/mu L), due to the enriched contents of both total phenolics and anthocyanins. It was actually followed by the raspberry and strawberry samples. Unlike the aforementioned trend for AO, thermal behaviour of all samples was similar. This is first time ever that a DC polarographic HPMC assay has been applied for the characterisation of the fresh berry fruits. Further studies aiming to screen total AO of the soft fruit during growth, storage and processing might be well facilitated by the application of this low cost, rapid, easy-to-handle and reliable electrochemical assay.
