I. The absorption of iron from 59Fe-labelled maize and soya-bean preparations was measured by whole-body counting in forty-two apparently healthy Jamaican infants and compared with thc absorption of ferrous ascorbate. 2. The mean absorption of Fe from maize u’as 4.3% and from soya beans baked at 300°, 9.4%. compared with 28.5:/0 for ferrous ascorbate. In a group of children given boiled soya be...

Xenorhabdus indica KB-3, a well-known protease producer, was isolated from its entomopathogenic nematode symbiont Steinernema thermophilum. Since medium constituents are critical to the protease production, the chemical components of the selected medium (soya casein digest broth) were optimized by rotatable central composite design (RCCD) using response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of...

BACKGROUND Menopause is a period of women's lives with changes and symptoms that affect their work, sleep and quality of life. Therefore, it is important to overcome these symptoms. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of Calci soya balance and Vitagnus on menopausal symptoms. PATIENTS AND METHODS This double-blinded controlled trial study was performed in publ...

The present study compared in vivo protein digestion a miniature pig model with the dynamic vitro system DiDGI®, using three digestive compartments (stomach, duodenum, and jejunum + ileum). Two soya-based meals—commercial soya milk tofu—were studied, each same macronutrient content but different macrostructures. Our aim was to first deduce from experiments pigs key parameters such as gastric pH...

The true digestibility coefficient, biological value, and net available protein of diets based on processed soya flour supplemented with dl-methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA) or dl-methionine (at a level of 1.2 g/16 g N) have been determined in children aged 8-9 years. The mean daily intake of protein by the children on the different diets was maintained a t a level of about 1.2 g/kg body weight...
