In the stagnant loop syndrome an abnormal anaerobic flora colonizes the small bowel. Anaerobic organisms are characterized by fermentation reactions leading to the production of volatile fatty acids. This paper describes the measurement of intrajejunal volatile fatty acid concentrations in 11 patients with the stagnant loop syndrome. Nine normal persons and 18 patients with gastrointestinal dis...

Salted Kutum roe was prepared by soaking in brine to a traditional procedure. Proximate composition (moisture, protein, lipid, pH, ash and salt content), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), fatty acid profiles and microbiological characteristics of raw and salted roe of Caspian white fish (Rutilus frisii kutum) were determined. The results indicated that protein and moisture contents were si...

Volatile fatty acids are reported to exert a repressive effect upon Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas species in vitro and in vivo in young mice. The mean total volatile fatty acid concentration in the cecal samples of conventional mice fed ad libitum was 81.7 mumol/g (wet weight), which is antibacterial in vitro, and in the rectal samples it was 41.1 mumol/g (wet weight). The mean count of En...

In this study, total fatty acid composition and volatile fatty acid of silage species in Turkey was determined by using Gas Chromatography (Shimadzu 15-A). Total lipids were extracted from the corn silage, alfalfa silage and figüre silage samples by the method of Folch et al. Silage species were a total of 15 different fatty acids. These fatty acids between C12 to C24 have changed. Unsaturated ...

This study was performed to determine the effects of different levels of chromium methionine (Cr-Met)supplementation on growth performance, meat oxidative stability and ruminal metabolites in male kids. Thirty-two male Mahabadi goat kids, with an average initial body weight (BW) of 22 ± 2 kg at 4 months of age, were allocated in a completely randomized design with four treatments: control witho...

The rumen fermentation rates in individual lactating cows were measured in four different experiments. The results disclosed that the amounts and proportions of volatile acids formed could vary widely. In one case, a marked difference in the proportions of the acids produced arose within the experiment and correlated with a difference in the proportion of methane formed. The average rate of pro...

The seeds (6.9±0.2% by weight of fruit) of the red-skin rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) contain a considerable amount of crude fat (38.0±4.36%) and thus, the aim of the study was to determine the physico-chemical properties of this fat for potential applications. The iodine and saponification values, and unsaponifiable matter and free fatty acid contents of the seed fat were 50.27 g I2/100g f...
