The inositol-containing phosphatides of soy beans have been the subject of a number of investigations (l-7) since 1939 when Klenk and Sakai (8) first reported the presence of inositol in soy bean phosphatides. Previous work at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory (3) has shown that the alcohol-insoluble portion of soy bean phosphatides can be separated into two inositol-containing fraction...

Soy lecithin (SL) is a source of phospholipids, which play crucial role in determining cell membrane structure, fluidity, and functionality. This study investigated the effects dietary SL on performance, nutrient digestibility, body composition Nile tilapia juveniles (average initial weight 12.2 g) raised at 22 °C. The experimental diets contained increasing levels (0.0, 21.0, 43.0, 64.0 g kg−1...

Abstract Background Baicalin is a natural compound having intriguing and useful pharmacological properties that may be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments variety of therapeutic areas. However, the drug has low aqueous solubility poor absorption. The aim this research was to optimize bioavailability baicalin through incorporation into solid lipid nanoparticles. Results particle s...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is one of the oldest cultivated crops of the Far East. For centuries, the Oriental people, including the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Southeast Asians, have used soybean as a staple source of dietary protein and oil. It is one of the five commercial food crops, besides rice, wheat, barley, and millet. Soybean is very important for vegetarians and vegans bec...

Incorporation of dietary phospholipids into lymph chylomicrons was studied in rats fed corn oil containing either radioactive lecithin or lysolecithin. The specific activity of lecithin-s2P in chylomicrons relative to that in the oil increased directly with the amount of lecithin fed, whereas the lecithin content of chylomicrons was constant. About 40% of the phospholipid in chylomicrons was de...
