This study aims at manufacturing structured lipids by chemical interesterification (CI) of beef tallow with corn, canola and safflower oils individually various blend ratios (60, 70, 80%) catalyst concentrations (0.75, 0.875, 1%). Several physical properties interesterified products were determined data analyzed using univariate multivariate statistical techniques. Interesterified more spreadab...

BACKGROUND Distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and soybean meal were used as the substrates for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in solid-state fermentation (SSF) by Mortierella alpine. These fermented products were fed to laying hens. PUFA enrichment from chicken breasts was studied. METHODS The maximum productivity of PUFA was achieved under optimized process c...

the present study was aimed to assess the influence of brown marine algae and vitamin e (ve) (160 ppm α-tocopheryl acetate) on stability of chicken meat enriched with fish oil. in this study, 360 d-old broilers (arbor acres plus) were randomly assigned to 6 treatment groups with 4 replicates of 15 birds in each. experimental groups consisted of corn-soybean basal diet (c), corn-soybean basal di...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary coconut oil as a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) source on performance, carcass composition and serum lipids in male broilers. A total of 540, one-day-old, male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 treatments with each treatment being applied to 6 replicates of 18 chicks. The basal diet (i.e., R0) was based on corn a...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the impacts of implementation of the FTAA and China’s lower import tariffs on international trade of soybean oil, soybean meal, and soybeans. A two-commodity spatial model was formulated. The base model was calibrated to simulate the average level data of 1996, 1997, and 1998. Two alternative trade scenarios were simulated. The results indicated tha...

When and under what circumstances domestication related traits evolved in soybean (Glycine max) is not well understood. Seed size has been a focus of archaeological attention because increased soybean seed weight/size is a trait that distinguishes most modern soybeans from their ancestors; however, archaeological seed size analysis has had limited success. Modern domesticated soybean has a sign...

The effects on energy balance and brown adipose tissue thermogenesis of feeding high fat diets of differing fatty acid composition have been investigated in lean and genetically obese (ob/ob) mice. Groups of mice were fed either a low fat diet or a high fat diet based on corn oil or beef tallow for 2 wk. Energy intake and body weight gain were higher in both lean and obese animals fed the high ...

Increased cost of common feedstuffs and increased availability of coproducts from plant-based biofuel manufacturing has enhanced interest in the use of these coproducts in rations for dairy cattle (Donkin and Doane, 2007). Glycerol (commonly marketed as crude glycerine with a glycerol content of approximately 80%) is a coproduct produced during biodiesel production from soybean oil and is becom...

Dietary fat plays a major role in obesity, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases. To determine whether the intake of different types of dietary fats affect the muscle fiber types that govern the metabolic and contractile properties of the skeletal muscle, we fed male Wistar rats with a 15% fat diet derived from different fat sources. Diets composed of soybean oil (n-6 polyunsaturated fa...
