Two trials that utilized 356 yearling steers were conducted to evaluate the effects of fat sources (3.5% of diet dry matter) in steam-flaked milo finishing diets. Fats differed in fatty acid composition and level of free fatty acids. In Trial 1, soybean oil, tallow and yellow grease were compared to a nonfat control. Feeding fat increased (P less than .05) daily gain, feed efficiency, estimated...

Brindzová L., Čertík M., Rapta P., Zalibera M., Mikulajová A., Takácsová M. (2008): Antioxidant activity, β-glucan and lipid contents of oat varieties. Czech J. Food Sci., 26: 163–173. The antioxidant activity, total phenolic and β-glucans contents, and the fatty acid profile of total lipids in covered (black and yellow) and naked oats were studied. Oats with black hulls showed a significantly ...

A new series of 30 miscellaneous National Toxicology Program chemicals has been evaluated prospectively for carcinogenicity and overt toxicity by COMPACT (Computer Optimised Molecular Parametric Analysis for Chemical Toxicity. CYP1A and CYP2E1). Evaluations were also made by Hazardexpert, and for metal ion redox potentials; and these, together with COMPACT, were compared with results from the A...

Bleaching process is an essential stage in the refining of vegetable oils and fats. In this process the colour and the primary and secondary oxidation products are removed by the treatment with the acid activated bleaching earth .The aim of this project is to understand the effect of bleaching on the physical characteristics and chemical constituents of neutralized canola and sunflower seed oil...

Persistent infection of mouse neuroblastoma NB41A3 cells with yellow fever 17D virus generates viral variants which exhibit defective cell penetration, poor cell-to-cell spread, small plaque size and reduced growth efficiency, caused by substitution of glycine for aspartic acid or glutamic acid at positions 360 and 362 in the envelope protein. These positions occur within a charge cluster, Asp3...

BACKGROUND Enzymatic elimination of synthetic dyes, one of the most environmentally hazardous chemicals, has gained a great interest during the two last decades. The present study was performed to evaluate the decolorization and detoxification potential of the purified laccase of Paraconiothyrium variabile in both non-assisted and hydroxybenzotriazole-aided form against six azo dyes. RESULTS ...
