Abstract—Fruit juices play important roles in human health as being a key part of nutrition. Juice and nectar are two categories of drinks with so many variations for consumers, regardless of age, lifestyle and taste preferences, which they can find their favorites. Juices contain 100% pulp when pulp content of ‘nectar’ changes between 25%-50%. In this study, potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of predialytic oral nutritional supplementation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on maintenance haemodialysis (MHD). METHODS NEPRO HP was provided to 77 CKD patients on maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) over 3 months. Efficacy parameters were improvement in albumin levels, weight and haemoglobin levels; safety parameters were serum potassium and phosph...

Digesta samples were collected from rumen, omasum, abomasum, upper small in tes t ine , middle small intestine, lower small intestine, cecum and colon to study the effects of dietary calcium levels on the concentration and solubility of minerals in the digestive tract of sheep. Ca lc ium c o n c e n t r a t i o n s in d ige s t a and supernatant increased and calcium solubilities tended to beco...

By using radioactive isotopes in tissue cultures, the rate of permeation of substances into cells can be measured independently of concurrent metabolic reactions of these substances. Techniques of obtaining and analyzing data are described. Examples are given using radioactive potassium and phosphorus. Using cultures of chick embryo muscle, turnover time for cell potassium is 6 hours, and for c...

Energy dispersive x-ray analysis was used to study the composition of certain protein body components in Cucurbita maxima cotyledons. The globoid crystal was rich in phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. This elemental composition provides further evidence that the globoid crystal in squash cotyledon protein bodies is composed of phytin, a myoinositol hexaphosphoric acid salt of potassium and m...

Abstract Reactions of the potassium alumanyl derivative, [K{Al(SiN Dipp )}] 2 (SiN ={CH SiMe NDipp} ), with white phosphorus result in two electron reduction to provide controlled access species containing (P 4 ) 2− dianion. Two examples have been crystallographically characterized, a monomeric derivative which cation is encapsulated by 18‐crown‐6 (18‐cr‐6) and 1‐dimensional polymeric isolated ...

Dry matter, organic acids, ascorbic acid, minerals (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium) and polyphenolic profile of a number of non-traditional fruit species and their genotypes, namely blue honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.), Saskatoon berry (Amelanchier alnifolia), black mulberry (Morus nigra), Tomentosa cherry (Prunus tomentosa Thunb.) and jostaberry (Ribes nigrum x Grossul...
