effects of three nutritional levels of beet root molasses, cheese permeate, wheat bran extract, rice bran extract and sabouraud,s dextrose broth (sdb) were evaluated for blastospore production by two isolates of beauveria bassiana sensu lato. at an interval of 24 h for seven days. depending on the isolate, maximum blastospore production was obtained in 12% rice bran extract and 20% cheese perme...

Wang Ch., Xu F., Li D., Zhang M. (2015): Physico-chemical and structural properties of four rice bran protein fractions based on the multiple solvent extraction method. Czech J. Food Sci., 33: 283–291. The physicochemical and structural properties of the concentrated rice bran protein (CRBP) and rice bran protein fractions – RBPF (albumin, globulin, prolamin, and glutelin) were investigated on ...

Rice bran oil was extracted using hexane, as well as subcritical butane and propane. The quality of rice bran oils obtained using these three solvents was comparatively studied. The results showed that subcritical fluid extraction oil showed higher concentrations of health-conducive components (such as vitamin E, oryzanol, and phytosterol) compared with hexane-extracted oil. Extraction solvent ...

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of perilla oil as well as several vegetable oils, including flaxseed oil, canola oil, and rice bran oil on plasma levels of cardioprotective (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids in mice by feeding each vegetable oil for a period of eight weeks. Concentrations of docosapentaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), fish-based (n-3) polyunsatu...

To produce fruiting bodies of Oudemansiella mucida, porcelain fungus, on the oak sawdust medium, additives suitable for the mycelial growth and fruiting body formation were screened. In general, the mycelial growth of the three strains of O. mucida used in this study have been good on oak sawdust mixed rice bran of 20~30%. The mycelia incubated in potato dextrose broth for 7 days were inoculate...

Neuroinflammation has been implicated in the pathology of various psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Accumulating evidence suggests that food components can modulate inflammatory processes, and therefore it could be hypothesized that such nutrients might exhibit therapeutic efficacy against these brain diseases. Rice bran is often discarded as a waste product, although it contains a w...

Temukut, or brewers’ rice, is a mixture of broken rice, rice bran, and rice germ. Extensive studies have been conducted on rice bran, which possesses various health benefits. Temukut, however has been less well studied. The present study aimed to investigate the antioxidant and growth inhibition properties of temukut extract using colon cancer (HT-29), ovary cancer (Caov-3), and liver cancer (H...

Stable carbon isotope analysis can be used to obtain quantitative estimates of the relative contributions of different food sources to the nutrition of aquatic animals in ponds. Results can be used to make recommendations for feeding and fertilization practices that will minimize feed costs while maximizing fish production. This technique was used in conjunction with fish gut content analysis t...

phytate in poultry rations containing rice bran (rb) critically reduce poultry performance while increasing n and p excretion. the objective of this study was to determine whether the anti-nutritive problems associated with higher inclusions of rice bran in poultry rations (up to 40%) could be mitigated with mega doses of phytase. twenty days old male broiler chicks (n=180) in 60 floor pens wer...

the present study was conducted to determine the effects of different levels of rice bran along with a multi enzyme on the performance of broiler chicks. three hundred eighty four day-old male broiler chicks were taken in 8 treatments comprised of different levels of rice bran (0, 6, 12 and 18%) together with a multi enzyme (0 and 0.1%). each treatment was carried out in 4 replicates each repli...
