Abstract The application of high-fiber ingredients in the swine feed industry has some limitations considering that high amounts fiber are resistant to endogenous enzymatic degradation pig’s gut. However, there is growing interest fermentation intestine pigs due their functional properties and potential health benefits. Many strategies have been applied formulations improve utilization efficien...

The role of fiber intake in the etiology of colorectal cancer and precursor adenomatous polyps has been controversial. Although a clear inverse association was observed in several case-control studies (reviewed in refs. 1, 2), large prospective studies subsequently found inconsistent associations between intake of dietary fiber and colorectal cancer (3-8). The lack of an influence was further s...

Fiber-containing for...

The purpose of this study was to determine the in vivo glycemic index of carob tablets with healthy subjects and to determine the in vitro glycemic index of carob tablets and carob flour by the hydrolysis index. Seven healthy volunteers consumed portions of carob tablets containing 26g of available carbohydrate. Their capillary blood was taken at intervals after carob or glucose consumption. Th...

PURPOSE Aquaporin 0 (AQP0) is the major intrinsic protein in the lens and is essential for establishing proper fiber cell structure and organization. Cytoskeletal proteins that directly interact with the C terminus of AQP0 are identified herein. METHODS The water-insoluble fraction of lens fiber cells was chemically cross-linked, and cross-linked peptides with the C terminus of AQP0 were iden...

Biochemical evidence is presented for the disintegration of the lens fiber plasma membrane in human cataracts. The intrinsic membrane proteins are found in both the water-soluble and water-insoluble nonmembrane fractions of the cataract lens but not in the normal tissue. Furthermore, in contrast to the normal lens, not all of the lipid found in the cataractous lens is isolated with the membrane...

A novel class of bioresorbable composite (core/shell) fiber structures loaded with bioactive agents was developed and studied. These unique polymeric structures are designed to combine good mechanical properties with a desired controlled release profile, in order to serve as scaffolds for tissue regeneration applications and as basic elements of medical implants. These core/shell fiber structur...

The main goal of recent study was the impact assessment a commercially available fermented herbal feed supplement on digestion horses and intestinal microflora. experiment made with four adult horses. product consumed by animals for seven days in addition to usual oats hay diet, an amount 200g. Sampling before immediately after treatments 21 later. From fresh faecal samples number lactic acid c...

Spent coffee grounds (coffee sludge) is the most common recycled material obtained in production of instant coffee. Thus, about 6 million tons sludge are generated annually. The purpose this study was to evaluate use as an innovative functional food ingredient flour confectionery products and effect its chemical components on sensory properties, volatile rheological properties final product. co...
