soy protein concentrate (spc) is a functional and nutritional product which is produced under conditions where soy proteins are immobilized in soy flour and soluble carbohydrates are removed. in this study, four different soy flours including defatted soy flour (fat content 3.67, pdi 55.10), defatted and toasted soy flour (fat content 3.78, pdi 10.72), low fat soy flour (fat content 14.34, pdi ...

Ultimate pH (pHu) of pork is a major quality determinant. Higher pHu is associated with darker color (Kauffman et al., 1993). A lower pHu is associated with higher drip loss (Kauffman et al., 1993). Pale, soft, exudative (PSE) and red, soft, exudative (RSE) pork is undesirable because it has a low water-holding capacity. At pHu above 5.7, PSE and RSE pork quality problems do not occur (Fernande...

Current study evaluated the effect of pre-slaughter stress on serum cortisol levels, pH, colorimetry, water-holding capacity (WHC) and gene expression of ryanodine receptors (RyR1 and RyR3) in the Nile tilapia. A 3x4 factorial scheme experiment was conducted comprising three densities (100, 200, 400 kg/m³) with four transportation times (60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes).Transportation times alone...

The study was conducted to study the effect of age viz., young (6-9 months) and adult (2 years) on physico-chemical characteristics, proximate composition, amino acid, fatty acid and cholesterol content of Kodiadu goat meat. The Longissimus dorsi muscle was collected from these animals and the physico-chemical characteristics viz., pH, water holding capacity, instrumental colour, muscle fi bre ...

Functional properties of fermented bran produced by Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus sp. in a solid-state fermentation system were determined, with an aim to evaluate their application in food formulation. The defatted rice bran and wheat bran were inoculated with the spores of the cultures and incubated at 30°C for 72 h. Samples were withdrawn at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h. Protein content, protein sol...

Physicochemical, nutritional and functional properties of protein fractions and protein isolate (RSPI) from Roselle seed were investigated. The protein content was 91.50, 93.77, 81.55, 71.30 and 40.83% for RSPI, globulin, albumin, glutelin and prolamin, respectively. The functional properties were variable among samples. Glutelin possessed the highest water holding capacity and albumin the lowe...

an experiment was carried out to evaluate and compare the effects of organic and inorganic selenium (se) sources on broiler male birds (ross 308). uniform broiler male chicks divided in to five groups with six replicates were fed with either normal feed (without supplemental se, negative control), 0.25 ppm of inorganic se, 0.5 ppm of inorganic se, 0.25 ppm of inorganic se + 0.25 ppm of organic ...
