Background: Dietary therapy through a low-protein diet (LPD) has long been used for preserving the renal function of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Reducing the amount of protein ingested from rice would make it possible to allocate the difference to side dishes, thereby improving the quality of meals and facilitating adherence to LPD. Methods: Forica Foods Co., Ltd., Uonuma City, ...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of red pericarp glutinous rice rich in polyphenols (Jakwangchalbyeo, red rice) on serum and hepatic levels of cholesterol and hepatic protein expression linked to synthesis and degradation of cholesterol in a hypercholesterolemic mice diet as compared with brown rice. MATERIALS/METHODS C57BL/6 male mice were ...

Studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of a protein-enriched pea (Pisum sativum var. Bonneville) flour extract against the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae in its repellency, toxicity, effect on fecundity, stability and sensory properties. Milled rice admixed with pea flour extract at 1% concentration significantly repelled S. oryzae. Mortality of S. oryzae was found to increase and fecund...

The influence of limited proteolysis of soy protein concentrate on protein extractability, the composition of the extractable proteins, their emulsifying properties and some nutritional properties were investigated. Traditional concentrate (alcohol leached concentrate) was hydrolyzed using trypsin and pepsin as hydrolytic agents. Significant differences in extractable protein composition betwee...

Rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most devastating fungal diseases of rice and results in a huge loss of rice productivity worldwide. During the infection process, M. oryzae secretes a large number of glycosyl hydrolase proteins into the host apoplast to digest the cell wall and facilitate fungal ingression into host tissues. In this study, we identified a novel arab...

Vanilla ice cream contained 9.56% milk fat, 11.0% milk SNF, 13% beet sugar, and 4% 36 dextroseequivalent corn syrup solids. The control contained 3.74% protein and was not supplemented with milk protein concentrates. Treatments 2 and 3 (T2 and T3) were supplemented with milk protein concentrates and contained 40, 60 per cent increased protein level respectively. The ash and lactose content of a...

Physicochemical properties of rice flour and rice starch differing in amylose content were evaluated in Setra Ramos and Mentik Susu rice varieties. The objectives of this research was to determine the physical properties i.e. thermal, X-ray diffraction patterns and chemical properties i.e. moisture content, lipid content, protein content, total starch content, amylose content, FT-IR analysis, a...
