The objective of this experiment was to test the hypothesis that differences in the digestibility of total dietary fiber among breeds of pigs is influenced by the type of fiber fed and also by the age of the pig. Five Meishan pigs (BW: 77.2 ± 15.2 kg; 5 mo old), 5 light Yorkshire pigs (BW: 80.1 ± 11.2 kg; 4 mo old), and 5 heavy Yorkshire pigs (BW: 102.1 ± 3.5 kg, 5 mo old) were surgically prepa...

The present investigation evaluated the pre-Hispanic food called "nicuatole" based on corn, from Central Valleys region of state Oaxaca, Mexico. objective work was to preliminary results physicochemical and proximate properties locally known as "nicuatole". sample prepared traditional endemic recipe population San Agustín Yatareni, To determine composition, samples 10 g 3 were used for tests (p...

BACKGROUND Dietary sugar and starch affect plasma glucose and insulin concentrations. Little information is available about the effect of dietary fibre on plasma glucose and insulin concentration. It is hypothesized that different dietary fibre compositions will alter post-prandial glycaemic- and insulinemic index of test meals. The objective was to measure postprandial glucose and insulin conc...

Polystyrene plastic or stryrofoam is very popular to be used as a food packaging container even though Styrofoam has bad impact on health. In addition, also cannot biodegraded naturally in the environment so that use of problem for environment. One alternative styrofoam biodegradable foam (biofoam) made from starch and cellulose. It safe health can broken down naturally.Cassava peel rich (carbo...

Carbohydrates from lignocellulosic feed can be released by basidiomycete fungi for ruminal fermentation. This study aimed to evaluate the bioconversion of hay ryegrass-fescue (Lolium perenne—Festuca arundinácea) solid state fermentation with Pleurotus ostreatus, obtain superior quality hay. After only 14 days fermentation, crude protein (CP) (4.73 5.16%), and non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC) (20...

Banana peels are banana processing wastes that can be used as poultry feedstuff, but bacause of its high crude fiber content, so to reduce the content it need such fermentation. Fermentation process requires soluble carbohydrates palm sap. This research aimed evaluate effect different levels sap an additive on nutrient composition peels. An experimental method was in this with a completely rand...

Age-related hearing loss is a frequent disability in older adults and nutrition could play a role in the development of this condition. Carbohydrate nutrition [including dietary glycemic index (GI) and load (GL)] may be linked to hearing loss. We aimed to determine the association between carbohydrate nutrition (including mean dietary GI and GL, and the dietary intakes of carbohydrate and sugar...

Marine algae are considered a source of different bioactive constituents including protein, oil, fiber, vitamins, pigments and dietary minerals. To evaluate the fine chemical biochemical properties marine microalga Nannochloropsis oculata macroalga Ulva lactuca, present study was carried out. The cultivated N. oculate collected U. lactuca were washed, oven-dried, ground subjected to analysis mo...

The aim of the study is to evalua te which plant foods are suitable for high temperature food processes. Plant foods are the only sources of dietary fiber. Carbohydrates are the major nutrients of fruits and vegetables and human nutrition. Sugars are determined in the combined extracts using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a universal evaporative light scattering detector. Re...

The concentrations of free neutral carbohydrates and amino sugars were determined in freshwater samples of distinct matrix complexity, including meso-, eu- and dystrophic lakes and ponds, using high-performance ion-exclusion chromatography (HPIEC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). In contrast to other methods, our approach allowed the quantification of free neutral carbohydrates and amino suga...
