An experiment was conducted to determine whether baby pigs develop hypersensitivity to dietary soybean proteins. Thirty-two pigs were orally infused with either dried skim milk (5 g/d; control) or soybean meal (48% CP; 5 g/d) from d 7 to 14 after birth. Sows were fed a corn-corn gluten meal-based diet supplemented with lysine and tryptophan to avoid exposure of pigs to soybean proteins. Pigs we...

introduction: proteins are food ingredients with critical functional properties and participation in developing food products. so far, functional properties of several plant proteins such as pea, chickpea and lentil, groundnut, beach pea and bayberry have been investigated. nowadays, there is an increasing demand for plant proteins because they are available and inexpensive. legume proteins are...

Whole-crop wheat treated with 40 kg urea/t/DM was examined in two experiments as the sole forage offered ad libitum. The objective was to evaluate the nutritive value of the forage, and the response in milk production to energy and protein supplements. In Experiment 1, 12 Holstein Friesian lactating cows in three 4 4 Latin squares were offered four concentrates, AÐ6 kg/day of 208 g CP kg/DM, BÐ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the intermediate-term health outcomes associated with a soy-based meal replacement, and to compare the weight loss efficacy of two distinct patterns of caloric restriction. METHODS Ninety overweight/obese (28 < BMI < or = 41 kg/m2) adults received a single session of dietary counseling and were randomized to either 12 weeks at 1200 kcal/day, 16 weeks at 1500 kcal/d and ...

In the course of a screening for newmetabolites from strains of actinomycetes we disclosed Streptomyces sp. HKI 0180 as the producer of cuevaenes A (1) and B (2). The strain was isolated from a soil sample from the cave of Altamira (Spain). In this paper we report the production, isolation, structure elucidation and biological properties of 1 and 2 (Fig. 1). An agar slant culture of the above s...

The effect of phytase enzyme on the digestibility and availability of phosphorus (P) in soya-bean meal was investigated with grower pigs. In addition, the relative effectiveness of different parameters for assessing P availability in slope-ratio assays were compared. The addition of phytase increased growth rate (741 vs 835 g/d; P c 0.05>, lowered the FCR (2.37 vs 2.16; P c O.Ol), increased pro...

We previously demonstrated that black bean (BB) and soy flour (SF)-based diets inhibit azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon cancer. The objective of this study was to identify genes altered by carcinogen treatment in normal-appearing colonic mucosa and those attenuated by bean feeding. Ninety-five male F344 rats were fed control (AIN) diets upon arrival. At 4 and 5 weeks, rats were injected with AO...

the present study was carried out to investigate the effects of different levels of canola meal eithr with or without phytase addition on laying hen&apos;s performance. a number of 288 layer hens (the strains of hy-line w36) at the 60th week of age, selected as based on the same egg production percentage and body weight were, assigned to a factorial arrangement with a completely randomized desi...

The transglycesylation reaction was done with a fi-ga)actanase from Penieillium eitrinum. The regioseiectivity in the transglycosylation reaction was studied using soy bean arabinogalactan as a donor and monoeT disaccharide derivatives containing fi-galactosyl residue as accepters. We also synthesized oligosaccharides eontaining Galfi1.4Gal sequence such 2s Galfi1.4GalPl.4G]c, Galfi1.4Galfi1. 3...
