This study assessed the effects of total ochratoxins on nutritional composition and functional properties grain flours. The grains cowpea, sorghum, maize, groundnut, rice, millet, acha were milled. proximate composition, properties, as well Total Ochratoxin levels, determined. Ochratoxins evaluated. levels in flours ranged from 0.09 to 54.41 μg/kg not seen some rice samples. Most found beyond W...

The present study was designed to evaluate the composition and acceptability of biscuits prepared by partially replacing hydrogenated vegetable shortening with peanut butter to reduce the fats and enhance the nutritional value. For this objective five different treatments of biscuits were prepared from peanut (Arachis hypogaea) butter and hydrogenated vegetable shortening (Banaspati) i.e. T1(0:...

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica. L) is a wild, unique herbaceous perennial flowering plant with Stinging hairs. It has a long history of use as a food sources as a soup or curries, and also used as a fiber as well as a medicinal herb. The current aim was to analyze the composition and bioactive compounds in Nepalese Stinging nettle. Chemical analysis showed the relatively higher level of crude p...

Present researcher was designed to evaluate the nutritional and antioxidant activity of the some prominent potato cultivars. The mean indicated that potato contained appreciable amount of moisture (77.5 to 82.37%), ash (1.46 to 1.66%), crude protein (2.037 to 3.062%), crude fat (1.16 to 1.89%) and crude fiber (2.12 to 2.66%). However, specific gravity were in the ranged of 1.05 to 1.22. The ant...

The objective of the study was to determine the chemical composition and nutritional value of palm pollen grains. The proximate chemical composition, vitamin, mineral, amino acid and fatty acid contents of palm pollen grains were analyzed. The results obtained showed that the values of the proximate chemical composition of palm pollen grains were moisture (28.80%), ash (4.57%), crude fiber (1.3...

The title compound, C(51)H(78)N(4)O(12), is a derivative of rapamycin, a triene macrolide anti-biotic mol-ecule isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. The macrocyclic ring structure has 15 chiral centres, with one of the substituent hy-droxy groups giving an intra-molecular hydrogen bond to a ketone O-atom acceptor. The mol-ecules also form inter-molecular hy-droxy-ketone O-H⋯O hydrogen-bond...

Vegetable, fruit, and food processing industrial waste has a low nutritional content. The quality of the content is improved by it through fermentation. study was conducted experimentally using completely randomized design (CRD) factorial pattern. There were two factors (3 x 3), namely Factor I various maggot growing media (D1 = mustard greens, cabbage, cauliflower leaves, D2 banana, pineapple,...

BACKGROUND The metabolic syndrome is associated with sarcopenia. Decreased serum levels of Vitamin D (VitD) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and their mutual relationship were also reported. We aimed to evaluate whether different dietary profiles, containing or not VitD, may exert different effects on muscle molecular morphology. METHODS Twenty-eight male rats were fed for 10 weeks in o...

An experiment was carried out to determine the effect of corn silage particle size and fat supplements on performance, solid passage rate through the digestive tract, and chewing behavior in dairy cows. The forages were coarse or fine corn silage with geometric means of 8.8±2.7 and 5.6±2.8 mm, and alfalfa with geometrics means of 7.0±3.3 mm, and fat supplements were neutral fat (palm) and soy-o...

The objective of this study was to develop low-fat chicken nuggets with the inclusion of Oat Flour (OF) and assess the cooking yield, textural properties, sensory properties and proximate composition. Chicken nuggets were prepared with the addition of 0%, 10% and 20% of OF over and above the quantity of meat. The cooking yield was significantly higher in the nuggets containing OF. The increased...
