It is commonly believed that the composition of groundwater does not change naturally. So if a change is recognized through taste and/or odor, many may think that something bad has happened. Perhaps the aquifer has become contaminated, or something is wrong with the well. However, a common cause of changes in water quality is through natural variations within the aquifer. What gives groundwater...

Millets are nutritionally superior indigenous staple crops packed with high protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, anti-nutrients such as phytic acid, tannins, polyphenols present in the millets tend to reduce bio-accessibility of minerals (iron zinc), due which millet diets greatly compromised. Although most cereals, wheat flour, brown rice, barley, contain acid a level far more than that m...

The proportion of malnutrition, undernutrition, and stunted in children under five is still a challenge for the government people Indonesia. Deficit energy consumption, macro micro nutrients said to be one causes disrupted growth development. A balanced intake carbohydrates, proteins fats needed formation body tissues, brain development resistance. Minerals Calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P), Potassi...

Trace minerals are required for essentially all biochemical processes in the body. Many of these minerals are necessary for optimal growth, physiologic function, and productivity in animals. This paper focuses on 8 trace minerals: cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iodine (I), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn). These trace minerals have been chosen because nutritio...

The processing mineralogy characteristics of an oxidized lead-zinc ore from Sichuan were studied systematically using numerous modern instruments. Results showed that lead and zinc oxide content in the ore exceeded the minimum industrial grade, and also included a relatively high concentration of silver and iron. This ore is composed of many different minerals. Major zinc-containing minerals in...

Iron sulfide mineralization in low-temperature systems is a result of biotic and abiotic processes, though the delineation between these two modes of formation is not always straightforward. Here we review the role of microorganisms in the precipitation of extracellular iron sulfide minerals. We summarize the evidence that links sulfur-metabolizing microorganisms and sulfide minerals in nature ...

Sea cucumbers are soft-bodied echinoderms and some species highly economic thanks to their unique biochemical compositions. Holothuria (Roweothuria) poli is an economically important in Turkey has been extensively exploited the Mediterranean meet international market demand last decade. In this study, meat yield, proximate mineral compositions of H. from coasts Çanakkale,Turkey, were investigat...

Abstract The consumption of imported dairy products is high especially in developing countries including Nigeria where little or no milk produced locally which makes the expensive, out reach to common consumers and also inconvenient for lactose intolerance vegans. Soymilk, as plant-based was substituted cow’s parts whole production yoghurt effect substitution evaluated on minerals, vitamins, mi...
