Abstract The medicinal attributes of honey appears to overshadow its importance as a functional food. Consequently, several literatures are rife with ancient uses complementary and alternative medicine, relevance modern day health care, supported by evidence-based clinical data, little attention given honey’s nutritional functions. moisture contents extracted from University Veterinary Animal S...

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 <e...

Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) is an important cool season grass species in the moderate climate of Iran. In order to evaluate the yield and quality traits, an experiment was conducted in irrigation conditions using 36 accessions of Dactylis glomerata using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Islamabad, Kermanshah province, Iran in 2010. Characters such as forage dr...

A high intake of easily fermentable carbohydrates and a low intake of fiber material are generally regarded as major factors affecting the health of captive langurs. The effect on fecal consistency of excluding fruits and vegetables from the diet was evaluated in Javan langurs (Trachypithecus auratus auratus). Cross-over trials were carried out at Rotterdam Zoo and at the Apenheul Zoo, The Neth...

Abstract Yogyakarta - Indonesia has a variety of types sorghum. Antioxidants and protein are among its nutritional advantages. Processing technology innovation is still needed to optimize nutrition. Polishing the main process in This study aims determine effect polishing sorghum (brown white) on content crackers. Nutrient analyzed included water, ash, protein, fat, crude fiber, carbohydrate, en...

Abstract Flowers are ubiquitous in primate environments, yet their nutritional advantages underexamined. Symphonia globulifera is a widely distributed tree exploited by variety of animals Africa and the Americas. We collected S. flower samples consumed red-tailed monkeys ( Cercopithecus ascanius ) compared them nutritionally to from other plant species Kibale National Park, Uganda. were assayed...

Distillers' grains and corn fiber are the coproducts of the dry grind and wet corn milling industries, respectively. Availability of distillers' grains and corn fiber at the ethanol plant and their high levels of lignocellulosic material make them attractive feedstock for conversion to ethanol. In this study, dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis for the conversion of distillers' grains and corn fibe...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relative influence of diet, metabolic control, and familial factors on lipids in children with type 1 diabetes and control subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We assessed fasting serum cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein (apo)-A1, and apoB in 79 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and 61 age- and s...

BACKGROUND Low postprandial blood glucose is associated with low risk of metabolic diseases. A meal's ability to diminish the glucose response to carbohydrates eaten during the following meal is known as the "second-meal effect" (SME). The reduced glycemia elicited by low-glycemic-index (LGI) foods consumed during the first meal has been suggested as the main mechanism for SME. However, LGI foo...
