for this reason the samples were obtained from three area in kerman province that cartivate corn in large amounts (giroft, kahnooj, baft).the amounts of samples were enough for both voluntary consumption and investigation of digestibility. after that samples had been chopped by electric chopper we sampled again from every sample and its chemical compositions were determined with standard method...

This study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). Milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (TS), fat (F), solids-non-fat (SNF), ash, crude protein (CP), nitrogen soluble at pH 4.6 (SN), mineral content (MC) and casein fraction (CnF). Camel milk had higher (P

The phytochemical and proximate compositions of the dried leaves of Gongronema latifolium were analyzed using the methods of Association of Official Analytical Chemists (A.O.A.C). The results of proximate composition showed that the leaves contained moisture (11.13±0.01%), crude protein (33.60±0.00%), carbohydrate (38.55±0.00%), crude fat (3.41±0.01%), crude fibre (4.20±0.01%), ash (9.11±0.01%)...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of osmotic pretreatments prior to drying and different drying methods on nutritional quality of dried mushroom slices. The experiment consisted of sun, solar, and oven drying after dipping the slices in salt solutions of 5 and 10% concentrations for 50 minutes, the control being untreated mushroom sample. Significant differenc...

The aim of present study is investigating effect of treated lemon pulp by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on protein and energy metabolism in goats was fed with this product. In this experiment 8 goats from raini breed were used for 21 days period; 16 days for adaptation and 5 days for sampling, to investigate the effect of processing lemon pulp by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeas...

European hares of both sexes rely on fat reserves, particularly during the reproduc-tive season. Therefore, hares should select dietary plants rich in fat and energy. However, hares also require essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to reproduce and survive. Although hares are able to absorb PUFA selectively in their gastrointesti...

The effect of alfalfa seed flour supplementation on the quality characteristics of refined wheat flour-based biscuits was studied. The proximate composition of refined wheat flour and alfalfa seed flour was determined. Refined wheat flour contained 12.43% moisture, 11.52% crude protein, 1.61% crude fat, 0.71% crude fiber, 1.43% ash and 70.83% nitrogen free extract, while alfalfa seed flour cont...

The dietary factors, as a cause on increasing incidence of gallstones in Japan, were studied. The increase in the incidence of gallstones at autopsy was nearly paralleled with that of fat intake on a line graph and reversely the carbohydrate intake including crude fiber showed a decreasing trend. In the nutritional survey of patients with gallstone, the fat intake was 22% higher than that of th...
