Nixtamalization is the process of steeping dried corn in hot water with calcium hydroxide (lime). The resulting product, called nixtamal, is further processed into tortillas, a staple in the Mexican diet. Corn tortillas are prepared directly from nixtamal, from nixtamalized corn flour, or from a mixture of the two. A technology for adding micronutrients to fresh nixtamal tortillas is discussed....

The application of specialized premixes containing all the necessary elements for effective ration enrichment is main direction normalizing mineral and vitamin nutrition cows. introduction biologically active substances into animal diets in form helps to increase efficiency productivity feed application. purpose our study was investigate effect mineral-vitamin premix Biomix on milk hematologica...

BACKGROUND Children participating in the Integrated Child Development Service (ICDS) in India have high rates of iron and vitamin A deficiency. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess the efficacy of a premix fortified with iron and vitamin A and added at the community level to prepared khichdi, a rice and dal mixture, in increasing iron and vitamin A stores and decreasing the prevalence of iro...

two trials were carried out to compare the effect of different levels of vitamin premix, in two raising systems of floor and cage, on performance and meat quality of broiler chicks. the chicks were fed with adjusted diets as based on wheat and barley for duration of 29 to 42 days. trial 1 was carried out through an employment of 288 male broiler chicks (ross 308) in 4 treatments and 4 replicate...

the present study was carried out to examine the effects of a vitamin premix (vp) reduction or withdrawal from finisher diet (29-43 days) on performance, immuno-competence, and characteristics of leg bones and meat lipid oxidation of chickens fed on corn-soybean meal based diet. a total of 900 male broiler chickens (ross 308) were allocated to five treatment groups (0, 33%, 66%, 100% and 133% v...

Methodologies for the determination of vitamin B(2) in food matrixes and a premix using simple sample conditioning steps coupled with a convenient and cheap electrochemical sensing device are presented. Electrochemical analysis based on differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) coupled to carbon electrodes gave a well-defined reduction peak at -0.42 V versus a Ag/AgCl quasi-reference electrode. Usin...

The present research was carried out to study the diversity of mineral contents of wild forages and to evaluate the beneficial effect of mineral feed supplement formulated by using locally available materials on the performances of beef cattle. The present research was initiated by analyzing mineral contents of wild forages grown around Limau Manis campus areas. Forage samples were collected at...

ABSTRACT Feed additives, such as β-glucans, nucleotides, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and α-tocopherol E) can improve fish immunity contribute to enhanced zootechnical performance of the fish. This study aimed evaluate effect different concentrations vitamin- mineral premix with or without inclusion an immunostimulant boost (β-glucans, nucleotides vitamins C on performance, hemato-immunological p...
