The study of the detailed composition of milk is mainly limited to the few commercially exploited animals such as the cow (Bos taurus), sheep (Ovis aries), goat (Capra hircus), camel (Camelus bactrianus), water buffalo (Buabalus bubalis) and yak (Bos grunniens) (Jennes and Patton 1976; Oftedal 1984; Park and Haenlein 2004). For most other animals, the information is limited to the content of th...

The biomass i.e. wheat-hemlock used in this study was first characterized for its composition. The physical and chemical characterization of biomass was estimated using proximate analysis, calorific value, crystallinity, devolatilization behaviour, ultimate analysis, ICP-MS of ash, FT-IR, XRD, CHNS, and HPLC analysis. For commercial purpose the same biomass was used for conversion to bio-oil by...

The study was conducted to improve cocoyam-based recipes (steamed cocoyam paste [ebiripo], ikokore, and fried cocoyam balls [ojojo]) using different blends of cocoyam and cowpea flours (100:0, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50). The proximate composition, mineral composition, and sensory qualities of the recipes were determined using standard analytical procedures. The recipes had significantly (P...

Article history: Received on: 08/08/2016 Revised on: 06/09/2016 Accepted on: 11/10/2016 Available online: 29/11/2016 The present study aimed to determine the proximate composition, mineral content, active ingredients (schisandrin, schisandrin A, gomisin A and gomisin N) and volatile composition of Schinsandra chinensis fruits collected from Inje and Mungyeong, two major cultivating areas in Rep...

The aim of this study was to compare the quality and physicochemical characteristics of blue-shelled eggs (BE) and conventional eggs (CE). Proximate composition, quality, pH value, shell color, collagen content, fatty acid composition, total cholesterol, α-glucosidase inhibition activity, and antioxidation activity were determined. The proximate composition, general qualities, and pH values of ...

Abstract Smoked skipjack is very popular processed fish product in Ambon with a acceptable taste and flavor, so much pleasure to be consume. produced traditionally by the method of hot smoking process. Skipjack good production through year Maluku included Ambon, it ideal as raw material smoked production. As nutritional facts are appropriately identified. This study was purposed determine proxi...

Nile tilapia (Oreochormis niloticus) fishbone is a fish part with unknown composition. After elaboration of flour fishbone of tilapia it was analysede. The results in 100 g of flour were: moisture (14.2%), protein (40.8%), total lipids (25.3%), and ash (18.3%), and mineral (in 100 g) was 2715.9 mg (calcium), 1.3 mg (iron), and 1132.7 mg (phosphorus). A total of 22 fatty acids were detected in f...

in this work, the effect of three-day germination on proximate composition, total phenolic compounds, fatty acid profile, vitamin c content, radical scavenging activity, malondialdehyde content and reducing power of safflower seed was investigated. apart from ash, other parameters including oil, protein and crude fiber contents decreased significantly during germination. phenolics content incre...

We tested a wet extraction method for lipid extraction from Euglena gracilis water slurry at 0.51 MPa and 20 °C using liquefied dimethyl ether (DME). The yields, proximate analyses, elemental composition, and molecular weight distribution properties of the extracts from E. gracilis and the remaining residues obtained by DME extraction were compared with those of the extracts obtained by hexane ...

In this study, the physical-chemical characteristics and proximate composition of the meat of of two strains of broilers (Paraíso Pedrês and Máster gris plumé – Super Pesadão, utilized for semi-intensive rearing) and Cobb strain, utilized in intensive rearing systems) were evaluated. Differences related to strain and sex (males and females) were studied. Cobb broilers were slaughtered at 45 day...
