Legume inoculants are products that introduce legume-specific rhizobia bacteria to the soil and promote process of biological nitrogen fixation. Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub.), also known as clusterbean, is a legume produced in semi-arid regions around world, primarily for industrial uses guar gum, but there only one commercial inoculant crop, which not available worldwide. The USDA-AR...

in this research, the production of a new kiwi- based product by applying kiwi puree, agar (0.25, 0.5 and 1%), guar (0.25, 0.5 and 1%) and other formulation ingredients (kiwi puree, sweeteners and ph modulators) has been investigated. dependent variables include moisture content measurement, instrumental texture analysis and sensory evaluations were carried out in a factorial design and the mea...

The objectives of the present study were to analyze the chemical interactions between guar and xanthan gums and starches. Gels were obtained from normal (NCS), waxy (WCS) and high-amylose (HACS) corn starches containing gums. The gels were evaluated according to their pasting properties and infra-red absorption. The guar (GG) and xanthan (XG) gums affected the properties of the NCS paste more s...

The present study aimed to investigate whether alternative dietary protein sources modulate the microbial communities in the distal intestine (DI) of Atlantic salmon, and whether alterations in microbiota profiles are reflected in modifications in host intestinal function and health status. A 48-day feeding trial was conducted, in which groups of fish received one of five diets: a reference die...

OBJECTIVE Large preloads of protein and fat have been shown to lower glucose after a carbohydrate-rich meal in people with type 2 diabetes but add a considerable energy burden. Low calorie preloads [<5% of daily energy intake] have been tested in this study in people with prediabetes and with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was an unblinded randomised crossover study with tw...

Guar is a valuable industrial crop, widely grown in India and Pakistan. The potentialities of guar seed are based on complex polysaccharide called galactomannan (gum) which present its endosperm. newly developed variety Karan Guar-14 has good content (30.2%) high viscosity profile (3412 cp) increases export values. It medium maturing (90–95 days) an average, it gives higher grain yield (1222 kg...

Recent studies suggest that the interaction between small intestinal nutrient stimulation and the blood glucose concentration is important in the regulation of gastric motility and appetite. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the effects of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on antropyloric motility and appetite are influenced by changes in the blood glucose concentration withi...

yog-ice cream (frozen yogurt), is a kind of frozen dessert which has similar features to ice cream in physical and appearance characteristics. recently, there has been a growing interest in using frozen yogurt due to existence of lactic acid bacteria & fermentation processing. besides, yog-ice cream contains lower levels of sugar, fat & emulsifiers than ice cream. this research was conducted to...
