Various cereal brans (wheat, rice, barley and oat) were investigated for proximate composition, functional characteristics and certain anti-nutritional factors to assess their potentiality as protein and fibre sources. The major findings of this study are as follows: crude protein ranged from 9.615.03%, fat 4.07-19.31%, dietary fibre 14.0-38.95%, bulk density 0.39-0.59 g/ml, water absorption 11...

the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of feeding rapeseed (27%, dm basis) and sunflower biodiesel by-products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition (fa), profile (ratios and indices),enzyme activitiesfrom thecarcassin lambs fed cereal-based diets. simultaneously, itwas examined the relationship between ingested fa and carcass fa. samples were obtaine dfrommal efa...

A reliable and cost-effective electrochemical method for the detection of deoxynivalenol (DON) in cereals and cereal-based food samples based on the use of a novel anti-DON Fab fragment is presented. The analytical system employed, Enzyme-Linked-Immunomagnetic-Electrochemical (ELIME) assay, is based on the use of immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) coupled with eight magnetized screen-printed electrode...

a novel optical sensor has been proposed for sensitive determination of bismuth ion basedon immobilization of 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthol on a triacetylcellulose membrane.chemical binding of bismuth ions in solution with a 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphtholimmobilized on the triacetylcelluse surface could be monitored spectrophotometrically. theoptode shows excellent response over wide concent...

It has been demonstrated that intact plasma alkylresorcinols (AR) and urinary AR metabolites could be used as biomarkers of whole-grain intake. Thereafter, we developed the method for the plasma AR metabolites, which is more convenient and requires less sample pretreatment than the analysis of intact plasma AR. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether AR metabolites measured in plasm...

Cereal Chem. 66(4):317-320 The thermal properties of whole grain milled rice and milled rice flour samples. Gelatinization enthalpies were about 40% greater in whole grain were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Thermal curves rice compared to rice flour for each variety. Heating rate studies conducted were obtained on representative long, medium, short, and very low amylose on ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sensitivity of plant bioassays:tradescantia-micronucleus (trad-mcn) tests using bnl 02 and 4430 clones, and crepis capillaris hairyroots chromosome aberrations test. the evaluation of the sensitivity of the tests was based on the example of the analysis of the genotoxicity of water samples from two natural water reservoirs in poland: the raw...
