a novel magnetic mixed hemimicell solid phase extraction (mmhspe) technique for speciation analysis of soluble, ferrous and ferric iron in legumes sample by flame atomic absorption spectrometry analysis (faas) was developed. mmhspe system consisting of alumina-coated magnetite nanoparticles (fe3o4/al2o3nps) modified by sodium dodecylsulfate-1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (sds-pan) have been succes...

Legumes and pulses have long been a part of traditional diets in Asia, Africa and South America, which include most of the world's developing countries. More than 1,000 species of legumes are known to be grown1. Of these, only 20 or so have been cultivated for use as food. They have been consumed as a rich source of protein supplementing the cereal or tuber-based diets and have an important rol...

OBJECTIVE To examine the impact on infant and young child nutrition knowledge and practice of mothers who were neighbors of mothers participating in a nutrition Behavior Change Communication (BCC) intervention in rural Bangladesh. METHODS We analyzed data from 300 mothers whose neighbor participated in a nutrition BCC intervention and 600 mothers whose neighbor participated in an intervention...

Rhizobia establish symbiosis with legumes. Bacteroids in indeterminate nodules of Inverted Repeat Lacking Clade (IRLC) legumes undergo terminal differentiation caused by Nodule-specific Cysteine-Rich peptides (NCRs). Microscopic observations of bacteroids and the detection of NCRs in indeterminate nodules of the non-IRLC legume Leucaena glauca were performed. A portion of the bacteroids showed ...

COVID-19 has highlighted the need for robust cattle supply chains using local feed resources. Higher Income Over Food Costs (IOFC) are usually achieved when live weight gains high and cost of ingredients low. There is a to formulate rations with metabolisable energy (ME) crude protein (CP) achieve gain. Rations can be formulated locally by farmer co-operatives, entrepreneurs commercial enterpri...

Cereal crop wheat, Triticum sativum L., is an important food and feed that grown all over the world. There a complementary relationship between legumes cereals for nitrogen resources, it was found intercropped acquire higher amount of atmospheric in comparison to as individual crop. Furthermore, both wheat pulse intercropping give benefits terms minimizing pests diseases. Intercropping not only...
