The Carotenoids of the Fruit Pulp of Palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer) from Hambantota

Priyadarshani, A.M.B.; Jansz, E.R.; Peiris, H. (2009)

The Hambantota district has relatively new plantations of palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer) and appear to be the future for industrial products from this tree. The tree with morphological type lIB fruit dominates plantations ...
An Investigation of the Carotenoids of Carica papaya

Priyadarshani, A.M.B.; Jansz, E.R.; Peiris, H. (2006)

The carotenoids of yellow-fleshed papaw (Carica papaya), were collected at random from different areas of Kurunegala, a major papaw producing District in Sri Lanka. Results showed that the carotenoids present were ...
A Moditied HPLC Method for Routine Laboratory Measurement of Total Homocystine

Perera, P.P.R.; Indrakumar, J.; Peiris, H. (2005)

There is evidence that mild to moderrate elevation of total homocysteine due mainly to vitamin B'2 and folate deficiency or Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of ...
A Novel Water Soluble Carotenoid Derivative from Palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer L) Fruit Pulp

Priyadarshani, A.M.B.; Jansz, E.R.; Peiris, H. (2009)

A water soluble carotenoid derivative is reported for the first time. The source was the fruit pulp of palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer L). Using the normal carotenoid extraction procedure the yellow pigment was found to ...
A Preliminary Study of Serum Fructosamine Values of Sri Lankan Adults

Peiris, H. (2001)

The determination of glycosylated serum proteins (Fructosamine) has become an accepted method for assessing the metabolic situation in diabetic patients. As there are no studies reported on serum fructosamine levels for ...
A Review of Carotenoid Analysis Techniques in the Sri Lankan Context and Solution to Some Problems Therein

Priyadarshani, A.M.B.; Jansz, E.R.; Peiris, H. (2009)

Carotenoid analyses results are subject to much variation. In this study, problems of sampling, extraction, chromatography, spectral data, and chemical tests are discussed together with in-vitro bioaccessibility. In ...
Some Studies on the Neurotoxic Effect of Palmyrah odiyal Flour

Perera, P.Shiromi; Jansz, E.R.; Peiris, H. (2006)

Three decades ago palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer) flour (odiyal) was shown to have neurotoxic and hepatotoxic effects. Previous studies have shown that both toxicities can be destroyed by dry heat at 80°C for 45 minutes. ...
Studies on Amines of Hurulla (Amblygaster sirm) Do They Cause Allergic Reactions of Hurulla?

Perera, P. Shiromi; Jansz, E.R.; Peiris, H. (2002)

Past studies stated that consumption ofhurulla (Amblygaster sirm) gave an adverse reaction to tuberculosis patients treated with isoniazid drugs and that the cause may be tyramine. In order to test this hypothesis fresh ...
A Study on the Use of Two Tetrazolium Salts for Determination of Serum Fructosamine

Peiris, H.; Withana, R.J. (2000)

The determination of glycated serum proteins (fructosamine) has become an important tool for assessing the glycaemic status in diabetic patients. Methods involved in the laboratory assays are based on the ability of ...
