Analysis of cassava cultivars and interspecific hybrids leaves revealed a protein percentage ranges from 21% to 32%. Polyploid types did not show significant increase. Varieties with low HCN content can be selected to enrich flour of cassava and other grain crops. Interspecific hybrids with very vigorous vegetative growth are good sources of protein. They can be used for raising...

“broussonetia papyrifera” (chinese mulberry) pollen is an important source of allergens in regions surrounding shanghai, china. to identify and purify major allergens from “b. papyrifera” pollen that reacted with serum antibodies from sensitized patients, “b. papyrifera” pollen was defatted, dried, and extracted proteins were separated using sp cationic exchange or q anionic exchange columns. s...

: world population has been continuously raised and therefore due to this fact new source of foods, particularly proteins, are in demand. in recent years, single cell protein has been considered as an accepted substitute for animal and plant proteins. in this study, single cell protein production was studied in a batch submerged culture using aspergillus niger ptcc5012. experimental design was ...

iron deficiency in soil reduces the quality of durum wheat leading to fe deficiency in human. thus, this experiment investigated the effects of foliar application of nano-iron oxide (2 and 4 g l-1), iron chelate (edta), (4 and 8 g l-1), iron sulfate (4 and 8 g l-1), and the control on grain yield and quality, yield components, chlorophyll and carotenoids contents, peroxidase (pox), catalase (ca...

Background:Extrauterine growth restriction remains a common and serious problem in newborns especially who are small, immature, and critically ill. Very low birth weight infants (VLBW) had 97% and 40% growth failure at 36 weeks and 18-22 months post-conceptual age respectively. The postnatal development of premature infants is critically dependent on an adequate nutritional intake that mimics a...
