The effect of apple phenolics on the oxidative damage caused to myofibrillar proteins by an in vitro metal-catalyzed oxidation system was investigated. Three pure phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, (-)-epicatechin and phloridzin) and an apple peel extract were added to myofibrillar proteins in three concentrations (50, 100 and 200μM), and a blank treatment was included as a control. All susp...

Ruminant feed evaluation systems use constant minimum requirements of rumen-degradable protein (RDP) and often relate this to apparently degradable organic matter (OM). However, studies with tropical forages indicate that RDP: apparently degraded OM might not be constant across high-fiber diets. This was tested with semi-continuous ruminal cultures (Rusitec) using dried contrasting low-protein ...

Two types of grape pomace were ensiled with eight strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Both fresh grape pomace (FrGP) and fermented grape pomace (FeGP) were preserved through alcoholic fermentation but not malolactic conversion. Water leaching prior to storage was used to reduce water-soluble carbohydrates and ethanol from FrGP and FeGP, respectively, to increase malolactic conversion. Leache...

The object of research is the secondary material resources processing plant and animal raw materials, namely fruit pomace milk whey. One most problematic areas that waste these industries has high rates biological chemical oxygen consumption wastewater, which significantly impairs operation local city treatment facilities. In addition, parameters extraction determination quality indicators obta...

Problem statement: Dried tomato pomace may be considered as an alternative feedstuff in ruminant nutrition. The limited literature data that are available so far may be interpreted as indirect and suggestive evidence for diminished ruminal fermentation and bacterial synthesis after substitution of dried tomato pomace for soybean meal. Approach: Rumen-fistulated beef steers were used to address ...

Consumption of fruits and vegetables has been associated with a low incidence of cancers and other chronic diseases. Previous studies suggested that fresh apples inhibit tumor cell proliferation. Here we report that oral administration of apple peel extracts decreased the number of nonmalignant and malignant skin tumors per mouse induced by 12-O-tetradecanolyphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in 7,12-dim...

In recent years, epidemiological and biochemical studies have shown that eating apples is associated with reduction of occurrence of cancer, degenerative, and cardiovascular diseases. This association is often attributed to the presence of antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and polyphenols. The substances that hinder the presence of free radicals are also able to protect cells from ...

The ability of Aspergillus niger strains to support citric acid production using solid-state fermentation agricultural processing coproducts was examined in this review. Citric has been shown have a number commercial applications the food and beverage industries. A. capable elevated are known contain genetic mutations that stimulate overproduction organic likely involving cycle reactions. previ...

background and objectives: a method was developed and validated for determining 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in refined olive and refined pomace olive oils using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a fluorescence detector. materials and methods: the sample preparation involved liquid–liquid extraction with organic solvent and low temperature clean-up. the low tempe...
