Proximate Composition and Amino Acid Analysis of Defatted Tectona Grandis Seed Meal

Proximate Composition and the Functional Properties of Defatted Seed and Protein Isolates

Proximate Composition and Amino Acid Profile of the Whole Body of Juvenile Persian Sturgeon (Acipenser persicus)

The main objective of the current study was to analyze the proximate composition and the amino acid profile of the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus). Forty-eight fish (with an initial weight of 96.60   7.45 g) were randomly sampled from a local sturgeon farm in Mazandaran, Iran. The proximate analysis of the fish body showed 24.38 ± 1.62 g/100g ww of dry matter, 61.52 ± 1.65 g/100g dw of cr...

Antimicrobial and antioxidative effects of defatted tea seed meal

Antimicrobial and antioxidative effects of solvent extracts of defatted tea seed meal (DTSM) were investigated for possible utilization as food ingredients. Of the extracts from DTSM, the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction showed much stronger antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria, S. aureus, M. luteus and S. epidermidis, than did the control benzoic acid solution. It also exhib...

Amino acid composition of seed globulins.

Several years ago it was suggested that the crystalline globulins of the seeds of some of the Cucurbitaceae might provide a substitute for edestin for many types of work because of the doubtful availability of hemp-seed for future investigations (I, 2). With the use of the recently developed microbiological methods for amino acid analysis, it is now possible to extend our knowledge of the compo...

Chemical Composition of Defatted Cottonseed and Soy Meal Products

Chemical composition is critical information for product quality and exploration of new use. Hence defatted cottonseed meals from both glanded (with gossypol) and glandless (without gossypol) cotton seeds were separated into water soluble and insoluble fractions, or water soluble, alkali soluble as well as total protein isolates. The contents of gossypol, total protein and amino acids, fiber an...
