Various studies in poultry nutrition have indicated that certain diets based on vegetable products are deficient in a hatchability-promoting or growth-promoting factor which is associated with certain animal protein materials (l-4). Hammond and Titus (5) studied the effect of a diet of corn, soy bean meal, alfalfa meal, butyl fermentation residues, minerals, and vitamin Ds on chicks and found t...

The wide-spread distribution of trypsin inhibitors throughout the vegetable and animal kingdoms (1) makes elucidation of their physiological function of great interest. From this point of view, resistance to peptic digestion becomes an important property, since only an inhibitor resistant to pepsin is likely to produce any physiological effect when ingested by a normal animal. The soy bean inhi...

The main concerns about adverse effects of genetically modified (GM) foods on health are the transfer of antibiotic resistance, toxicity and allergenicity. There are two issues from an allergic standpoint. First, the transfer of a known allergen may occur from a crop into a non-allergenic target crop. The second scenario is the creation of a neo-allergen where de novo sensitisation occurs in th...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding fermented diets as a protein supplement, using different diets in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 7 replications per treatment for 50 days in apiary in karaj area. honey bee colonies were assimilated in terms of honey, population and same age sister queen. experimental treatments included: 1. fermented gluten me...

In this study the effect of different nitrogen source substrates on the amount of chitosan production by Aspergillus niger was investigated. A. niger PTCC 5012 from the Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) was grown on soy bean, corn seed and canola residues at 30 °C for specified cultivation days under sterilized conditions. ...

An ultrasound and microwave assisted alternant extraction method (UMAE) was applied for extracting dihydroquercetin (DHQ) from Larix gmelinii wood. This investigation was conducted using 60% ethanol as solvent, 1:12 solid to liquid ratio, and 3 h soaking time. The optimum treatment time was ultrasound 40 min, microwave 20 min, respectively, and the extraction was performed once. Under the optim...

Soy sauce with a high salt liquid-state fermentation process was prepared by using organic soy beans as raw material. Beidahuang organic soy bean was selected among different raw materials. Here, the best technique was determined. Firstly, the organic soy beans were soaked for 7 hours under 121°C , steamed for 15 min and mixed with the fried wheat (5:5, w/w). After inoculated with Aspergillus o...

Abstract. In Thailand, the consumption of soy milk products is common but there is limited data about their fluoride content. The purpose of this study was to es- timate the fluoride content of soy milk products available in Thailand. Fluoride content was determined for 76 brands of soy milk using a F-ion-specific electrode. The fluoride concentrations ranged from 0.01 to 3.78 μg/ml. The fluori...

This is a report of an investigation on the influence of ingested fats on the sterol metabolism of the white rat. No summation of the literature on sterol metabolism will be given, because the subject has been so recently reviewed by Bills (1). Only those contributions pertinent to this paper will be referred to. The procedure adopted was to place young litter mates on vegetable diets. This was...
