Epidemiological research confirms that prevalence of suboptimal micronutrient intake across Europe is an emerging concern of public health. Our aim was to investigate the association between a new index of carbohydrate quality and micronutrient adequacy in the “Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN)” cohort. The baseline assessment expanded from 1999 to March 2012. We assessed 16841 participa...

This study examines the effect of physically effective Neutral Detergent Fiber (peNDF) value roughage on milk composition and yield. The NDF varies depending particle length amount structural non-structural carbohydrates in diet. quality, quantity, are crucial for a healthy rumen. longer is, more cow ruminates saliva it produces. produced is used to balance rumen pH. It aimed protect animal hea...

the present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. grapefruit pulp (gp), lemon pulp (le), lime pulp (li) and orange pulp (op) were the test feed. digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (ndf) fraction and acid detergent fiber (adf) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the in...

the effects of replacement of alfalfa hay with pistachio by-product (pb) at 0, 25, 50, and 75% (dm basis) on the ruminal parameters, dry matter intake (dmi) of female rayini goats, after kidding, and on the live weight gain (lwg) of their kids were investigated. five single-bearing female rayini goats each with a single kid were employed in each level of replacement. the basal diet contained ba...

In Colombia, a high amount of fruit waste is currently generated. These causes negative environmental impact due to its organic load. However, this type has compounds in structure that can be used order reduce the and obtain added value. The main study was characterize bromatologically sixteen residues processing propose possible use food industry. bromatological characterization carried out by...

The present study was conducted to identify nutritional value of Rumex obtusifolius in three phenological stages (vegetative growth, flowering, and maturity). Samples were randomly taken in pastures of Saravan in Rasht, Iran in 2015. After drying and grinding, the chemical compositions of Crude Protein (CP), Crude Fiber (CF), Ether Extract (EE), Total Ash (ASH), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), a...

The results show that this group of women has dietary habits similar to a “western” diet of high fat, high simple carbohydrates and low fiber. The Body Mass Index (BMI) of 50% of the group falls in the overweight (above 25) and obese (above 30) regions. Twelve members of the group, or 67%, have waist/hip circumference ratios of 0.73 or above, a factor relating positively to the onset of breast ...

Small fruit are rich in several types of phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals. These compounds have health functional properties that may protect humans from cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. Several of these phytochemicals, such as dietary fiber, anthocyanins, and polyphenolics, also contribute to small fruit quality. Other components contribute to appearance and taste. Nonvolatile...
