Determination of the stability of cysteine-rich peptides isolated from the deep-sea marine sponge Stryphnus fortis in human serum

Kosgahakumbura, L.N.; Gamage, J.B.; Jayasinghe, R.P.P.K.; Hettiarachchi, C.; Cárdenas, P.; Gunasekera, S. (University of Colombo, 2020)

Cysteine-rich peptides are potential candidates for a broad spectrum of applications due to their highly stable disulfide frameworks. A handful of cysteine-rich peptides have been isolated from marine sponges so far. ...
Investigation of antimicrobial properties of Axinella donnani and Xestospongia sp.

Malalasekara, W.S.; Hettiarachchi, C. (University of Colombo, 2020)

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are sessile marine filter feeders that have developed efficient defense mechanisms against their enemies which include viruses, bacteria, or eukaryotic organisms. Sponges are a good source of ...
Determination of antibacterial activity of Xylaria feejeensis endophytic fungi from Geophila repens

Fernando, C.; Rajendran, S.; Hettiarachchi, C. (University of Colombo, 2020)

Geophila repens is a perennial herb with medicinal properties in the Rubiaceae plant family. Interestingly, the plant is reported to exhibit antifungal, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticholinesterase activity. Different ...
Screening of Monascus spp. on water-soluble adipogenesis inhibitory activity

Wanniaika, I.P.; Niroshie, P.A.B.; Kaumal, M.N.; Hettiarachchi, C. (University of Colombo, 2020)

Monascus-fermented rice, which is known as red mold rice has been used as Chinese herbal medicine for treating hyperlipidemia for many years. Monacolin K and citrinin, showing adipogenesis inhibitory activity, are ...
Effect of long term consumption of porridges made with M. charantia on glycemic and lipidemic parameters of diabetic Wistar rats and cytotoxicity assay

Ekanayake, E.M.M.S.; Kaumal, M.N.; Weerasinghe, S.; Hettiarachchi, C. (University of Colombo, 2020)

Many diabetics use M. charantia and claim that it has a glucose lowering effect. The present study was conducted to evaluate the long-term effect of consumption of M. charantia porridges made with different parts of the ...

Validation of a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of stevioside and rebaudioside A in food and beverages

Perera, P.S.F; Somasiri, H.P.P.S; Mahanama, K.R.R (University of Colombo, 2020)

Currently there is a trend of using non-caloric high-intense sweeteners, as substitutes for sugars in food, carbonated and non-carbonated beverages to acquire the required sweet taste. Steviol or steviol glycosides that ...
Variation in amino acid composition of rice (Oryza sativa L.) as affected by the cooking technique

Liyanaarachchi, G. V. V.; Mahanama, K.R.R.; Somasiri, H.P.P.S.; Punyasiri, P.A.N.; Ranatunga, M.A.B. (University of Colombo, 2020)

The study was aimed at investigating the impact caused by the cooking method and the rice type on the amino acid (AA) levels in cooked rice. Four rice types (fully milled raw, non-milled raw, fully milled parboiled and ...
