Effects of soaking and cooking methods on physicochemical characteristics, nutrients and antinutrients in twenty soybean genotypes were studied. Batches of seeds were soaked for 18 h in distilled water, 1% citric acid and 2% sodium bicarbonate solutions at room temperature and then boiled in water. Raw soybean genotypes exhibited 36.5-43.2% protein, 20.7-22.2% oil, 2.58.3% total soluble sugars,...

The management of Enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) is challenging. It remains associated with morbidity and mortality, despite advancements in medical and surgical therapies. Early nutritional support using parenteral, enteral or fystuloclysis routs is essential to reverse catabolism and replace nutrients, fluid and electrolyte losses. This study aims to review the current literature on the manage...

Managing uncertainty and risk is an increasing challenge for running profitable grazing systems. There is continual pressure to increase efficiency and productivity, while at the same time there is mounting scrutiny of the impact of grazing systems on the environment. Of particular interest is the impact of nitrogen and phosphorus losses from grazed pasture systems to water and the atmosphere. ...

Vast dryland regions around the world are affected by the encroachment of woody vegetation, with important environmental and economical implications. Grassland-to-shrubland conversions are often triggered by disturbance of grassland vegetation, and the consequent formation of barren areas prone to erosion-induced nutrient losses. Inhibition of encroachment by erosion-induced depletion of soil n...

Summa y and Cmlusions The losses of nutrients in the cooking and plate waste of milk, eggs, fish and meat and the losses in the storage and preparation of vegctables have been studied. Records are presented also of waste in school and other canteens. Scrambling is the most wasteful method of cooking eggs. Thermostatically controlled panv would reduce the waste in cooking eggs. The filleting of ...

Organic agricultural systems are often assumed to be more sustainable than conventional farming, yet there has been little work comparing surface water quality from organic and conventional production, especially under the same cropping sequence. Our objective was to compare nutrient and sediment losses, as well as sweet corn ( L. var. ) yield, from organic and conventional production with conv...
