Corn and soyabean micronutrient-fortified-blended foods (FBF) are commonly used for food aid. Sorghum and cowpeas have been suggested as alternative commodities because they are drought tolerant, can be grown in many localities, and are not genetically modified. Change in formulation of blends may improve protein quality, vitamin A and Fe availability of FBF. The primary objective of this study...

Plant proteins contain bioactive peptides with functional properties and physiological activities. In the present work, produced during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of soya protein isolate were investigated. Protein samples subjected to simulated a generation permeate (<3 kDa) retentate (>3 fractions. The was analysed by nano-liquid chromatography electrospray ionisation tandem mass spec...

Aims: This study was conducted to isolate, identify and screen microorganisms associated with soy iru for the ability to be used as starter in the fermentation of soya bean (Glycine max) to produce soy iru. Study Design: To control the fermentation of soya bean (Glycine max) to produce soya iru using functional starter culture in order to improve the quality of the product. Place and Duration o...

BACKGROUND This was a randomized, assessor-blind, controlled comparison of a soya oil- based medical device shampoo with a medicinal permethrin lotion in an alcohol vehicle for treatment of head louse infestation to generate data suitable for a regulatory submission to achieve reimbursable status for the shampoo product. METHODS We treated 91 children and adults, divided between two sites, on...

Concern for food safety has continued to grow worldwide including the issue of mycotoxin contamination of food products from farm to fork. In this regard, soya bean seeds and processed soya bean powder bought from some Nigerian markets were screened for fungal and mycotoxin contamination. Fungal identification was done by both conventional and molecular methods after samples were cultured on po...

The purpose of this research was to comparatively investigate the effect of soybean protein and casein on serum Dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-s), thyroxine (T3 and T4), immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM), interleukin-6 (IL-6), triglyceride, cholesterol, total protein and albumin in a 30 days feeding after malnutrition. A control group feed on balanced diet was included. Forty female rats were us...

nutraceuticals, mostly phytochemicals derived from dietary or medicinal plants such as soya bean, garlic, ginger, tea as well as propolis, honey and others, may have chemopreventive activities, as already suggested by epidemiologic and animal model studies. their ability to reduce cancer incidence in these studies is likely related to apoptosis.

The research reported here provides data on the effects of crop residues o n the surface of no-till soil upon the soil environment and resulting biological activity, including crop growth. For maize (Zea mays L.) and soya bean [Gl...
