For determining the fatty acid characteristics and biodiesel quality of Ethiopian Jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions namely Southern Nation Nationalities Peoples Regional State (SNNPRS), Amhara region, Tigria region, Oromia region and Benishangul Gumuz Regions, where physic nut is found abundantly. For each region, representative sampling sites were selected following...

in a 3×3 latin square design three treatments including: 1) basal diet (control) in addition to diets containing 2) 100 and 3) 200 mg/day of peppermint essential oils were tested in three ruminally cannulated male sheep with average body weight of 50±3 kg. rumen liquor was sampled 3 hours after feeding to determine rumen ph, n-nh3 and volatile fatty acids. on the last day of each period, blood ...

Low and high intake of fat consumption regardless of its kind can jeopardize personal and public health. Despite the importance of quality and quantity of fat in the diet and its relationship with some chronic disorders such as coronary heart disease, some types of cancers, obesity and diabetes, the consumption pattern of fats and their . constituent fatty acids have not yet been assessed in ou...

To clarify fermentative alterations in the large intestine (hindgut) during grazing, fecal alcohol and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) concentrations were evaluated in 30 dairy heifers. The heifers were kept in pasture growing mixed grass herbage from spring (mid May) until October, and their rectal feces were collected periodically. Concentrations of ethanol, methanol and isopropanol were increase...

I. Changing cows from a diet with low hay and high flaked maize content, which depressed milk fat secretion, to a high-roughage diet resulted in increased milk fat secretion and in changes in the pattern of rumen fermentation and in the composition of the blood plasma. 2. During the 1st week following the change in diet the proportions of propionic and valeric acids in the rumen decreased and t...

We investigated the effect of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) along with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) on yolk fatty acid composition and volatile compounds in eggs that were raw (RA), hard-boiled (HB), or hard-boiled, irradiated (HBI, 2.5 kGy). Single Comb White Leghorn laying hens (n = 40) were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental diets containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, ...

pistachio oil has important nutritional and therapeutic properties because of high concentration of essential fatty acids. the extraction method used to obtain natural compounds from raw matter is critical for product quality and especially protection of nutrition value of them. the study was conducted to compare fatty acid composition of pistachio oil extracted by two conventional procedures: ...
