The effect of 3-O-methyl-D-chiro-inositol (D-pinitol), purified from soybean, on the postprandial blood glucose response in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was examined. Fifteen Korean subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (seven men, eight women; 60.3 +/- 3.1 years old) ingested cooked white rice containing 50 g of available carbohydrate with or without prior ingestion of soy pinitol. ...

Rough rice (RR) is the conventional feedstock for parboiling. The use of brown rice (BR) instead of RR is gaining interest because it results in shorter processing time and lower energy requirement. This study compared the functional properties of milled parboiled rice under different parboiling conditions from RR and BR. Presoaked RR and BR from cultivars Bolivar, Cheniere, Dixiebelle, and Wel...

Clostridium welchii type A is a common agent of food poisoning when allowed to proliferate to large numbers in cooked foods, usually meat and poultry. The main factors of importance are survival of the spores, frequently found on raw products, through the cooking process, and possible contamination of cooked meats transferred to unclean containers; subsequent germination of spores and rapid mul...

<p>Excessive use of fossil fuels results in the rapid depletion non-renewable energy resources, a rise fuel cost, and an uncontrolled emission greenhouse gases which causes severe threat to environment. Bio-fuels are being scrutinized as substitutes for current high-pollutant obtained from conventional sources. To meet global demands, it becomes necessary find alternate source is bioethan...

26 A study was conducted to investigate the accumulation and distribution of arsenic in 27 different fractions of rice grain (Oryza sativa L.) collected from arsenic affected area of 28 Bangladesh. The agricultural soil of study area has become highly contaminated with 29 arsenic due to the excessive use of arsenic-rich underground water (0.070±0.006 mg l, 30 n=6) for irrigation. Arsenic conten...
