The combined effects of low-molecular-weight fucoidan (LMF) and fucoxanthin (Fx) in terms of antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and hepatoprotective activities were investigated in a mouse model of type II diabetes. The intake of LMF, Fx, and LMF + Fx lowered the blood sugar and fasting blood sugar levels, and increased serum adiponectin levels. The significant decrease in urinary sugar was...

background and objectives: recognizing the impurities of sugar beet and also comparing different methods of juice purification have shown that the chemical purification based on lime and carbon dioxide is really efficient and economic in the sugar industry. factories have to control and improve purification stages to achieve clear juice with high chemical purity, low color, minimum hardness, su...

It is almost certain that the strength of the membrane in an egg varies with the physiological factors of breed and diet of the hen. In an attempt to make this factor as constant as possible eggs from one farm and one breed of hen (White Leghorn) were used. Further, in order to counter obvious criticism, it was considered desirable to work with the intact membrane rather than with pieces of mem...

in this research, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of white brined cheeses produced with five differen starter cultures, namely: traditional kefir grain, commercial kefir, commercial yogurt, traditional yogurt and commercial cheese starter culture, were examined during 60- day ripening period. results of statistical analysis showed that the type of starter culture had a signific...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect  of irrigation period on the quality and quantity of yield and some morphological and physiological traits of three multigerm sugar beet genotypes named bp mashhad, bp karaj and 191. the experiment was in a split  plot  based on randomized complete block  design , carried out  at motahari research station of sugar beet seed research institute ...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of variable nitrogen supply on yield parameters of two sugar beet varieties, as well as on biomass allocation to different parts of sugar beet plant at safi-abad agric. res. center during 2003-4 and 2004-5. five nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kgha-1) and two monogerm sugar beet varieties (shirin and rasol) arranged as factorial in a rand...

background: a flatoxins are one of the most important types of mycotoxins that are produced by aspergillus species such as a. flavus and a. parasiticus on contaminated feed. a flatoxin m 1 (afm 1 ) is excreted in milk of those lactating animals which have ingested a flatoxin b 1 contaminated feed. the aim of this study is to determine the presence and level of aflatoxin m1 in white iranian chee...
