A Boc-protected tetrapeptide derived from a sequence found in Philippine cobra venom has been reported to have weak antagonist activity at K receptors (807). Attachment of the C-terminal "address" sequence of [o-Ala ]-dynorphin A-d-lDNHg to this sequence resulted in a novel acetylated dynorphin A analog, JVA-901 (now referred to as venorphin).

Developed in China before the Han dynasty (206 bce), the soy nugget is considered to be the progenitor of many types of fermented soy pastes and soy sauces. It was the first soyfood to be described in written records. The product continues to be popular in China and certain regions of Japan. Similar products are also produced in Philippines (known as tao-si) and Eastern India (known as tao-tjo).

G. edulis (1.9 kg, wet weight) collected in Philippines on December 2, 2002, was extracted with MeOH (2 L) thrice, and the extract was filtered through cellulose filter. The filtrate was concentrated by evaporation and partitioned between hexane and aqueous 80% MeOH. The aqueous 80% MeOH layer was concentrated by evaporation and partitioned between aqueous 40% MeOH and CHCI3. The toxicity in the CHCI3 layer was estimated as 150 MU, when the toxicity to mice was expressed in mouse units (MU) one MU temporally denotes the amount of toxin, which kills one male mouse (ddY strain) of 15 g body weight in 24 h. A half of the CHCI3 layer (75 MU) was concentrated by evaporation, and applied to a silica gel column (Wakogel ClOO, 2 x 10 cm Wako, Osaka, Japan).

Natural convectional dryer has been used in Philippines to produce dried sweet potato. These dryers utilize heat from burning the wastes. About 50 kg of sweet potato chips of high quality are dried for 7-8 h. Another form in which sweet potato is dried and eaten as a dessert or snack is as an edible leather also known as fruit roll or crush. In this preparation, the flesh of sweet potato is cooked, mashed, and sieved, mixed with 0.5% (w/w) carboxymethyl cellulose (a binder), 200 ppm sodium bisulfite, and 7% (w/w) sugar and formed into a sheet 1-mm thick, which is oven-dried at 55°C-75°C and I0%-17% moisture level. Samples dried at 75°C were chewier than those dried at lower temperatures. Samples were crisper and crunchier when dried at 55°C or 65°C. A laboratory-scale high-temperature short-time (HTST)...
