World consumption of soybean (Glycine max) in 2008 was over 221 million metric tons, with approximately 50% of this supply coming from U.S. production, where soybean plantings on an annual basis are over 77 million ha. Soybeans are desired on the marketplace as a valuable source of protein and oil. The former is primarily used as feed, with some food applications, while the latter is more broad...

A total of 64 neonatal pigs was used in an experiment to study the effect of L-carnitine and soybean oil on pig performance and N and energy utilization. Pigs were weaned at an average of 3 d of age and individually fed diets that contained dextrose, corn syrup solids, and isolated soy protein for 21 d. Two levels of soybean oil (1.18 or 12.31%) and L-carnitine (0 or 800 ppm) were used in a fac...

Pequi is the fruit of Caryocar brasiliense and its oil has a high concentration of monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids, which are anti- and pro-atherogenic agents, respectively, and of carotenoids, which give it antioxidant properties. Our objective was to study the effect of the intake of a cholesterol-rich diet supplemented with pequi oil, compared to the same diet containing soybean oi...

objective(s): maternal high-fat diet has been shown to have deleterious effects on the offspring bones. however, there is no study to assess the effects of type and amount of maternal dietary oil in an isocaloric diet, with focus on extra virgin olive oil (evoo). the objective of the current study was to test the hypothesis that type of maternal dietary oil has more effects than its amount in a...

Psychological stress has been shown to modulate immune functions. In this study, we investigated the effect of dietary oils (olive oil, soybean oil, and fish oil) on the social isolation stress-induced modulation of lymphocyte immunological activities in mice. In olive oil-fed, but not soybean oil- or fish oil-fed, mice, a 2-week isolation stress decreased the lymphocyte proliferative response,...

Pork sausages were prepared with backfat or commercial soybean oil enriched with vitamin E to determine the effect of irradiation on lipid oxidation and volatile production during storage. The sausages prepared with soybean oil had significantly higher amount of linoleic acid than the control. Lipid oxidation was increased by irradiation at Day 0 in aerobically packaged sausages prepared with b...

s of papers 19 series were fed to the same strain of layers starting at 31 wk of age. Broken line regression analysis provided the following isoleucine estimates (g/day): Series 1 egg production, 0.46; Series 1 egg mass, 0.58; Series 2 egg production, 0.52; Series 2 egg mass, 0.50.

The supplementary effects of an emulsifier mixture (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate and distilled monoglycerides) were investigated on feed utilization, growth performance, immunity olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, replacing fish oil with beef tallow. A containing diet was considered as positive control (PC) a tallow instead negative (TW). Two other diets (EM01 EM02) prepared b...
