Diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome are becoming leading causes of death in the world. Identifying the etiology of diabetes is key to prevention. Despite the similarity in their structures, fructose and glucose are metabolized in different ways. Uric acid, a byproduct of uncontrolled fructose metabolism is known risk factor for hypertension. In the liver, fructose bypasses the two high...

Pigeonpea is a protein-rich legume which consumed worldwide in variety of forms (whole seed, dhal, and as green vegetable). In India, pigeonpea milled to yield dhal (cotyledon) this process generates 25–35% waste byproducts. The hull (seed coat) accounts for 10% the byproduct disposed either or low-cost cattle feed. To recycle byproducts into food value chain, study was conducted with objective...

An instantaneous and straightforward way to chemically recycle PET has been developed, which involves inexpensive reagents provides a fertilizer as byproduct.

Five experiments were conducted with 282 f'mishing pigs to evaluate the use of condensed fermented corn solubles with germ meal and bran as an amino acid source for swine. This wet milling byproduct referred to as dried steep liquor concentrate (DSLC) is becoming a major byproduct of the industry as methods of corn processing change. DSLC serving as the only amino acid supplement for corn suppo...

During the screening of selective DNA polymerase (pol) inhibitors, we isolated cycloartenyl trans-ferulate (CAF), which is a major component of γ-oryzanol, which is a byproduct formed during the production of Japanese rice wine "sake". CAF selectively inhibited the activity of mammalian A, B, and X pol families, but Y family pols were not affected. CAF did not influence the activities of plant ...
