Dietary undetermined anion (dUA) reflects, in part, the net acid load contributed by the diet. Although dUA is known to influence performance and nutrient metabolism of swine, a lack of knowledge impairs its application to diet formulation. This study was undertaken to separate the effects of dUA from the individual electrolytes that constitute its calculation. Eighteen 35-kg pigs were fitted w...

Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage which is traditionally prepared by fermenting sweetened black or green tea (Camellia sinensis L.) with symbiotic consortium of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY). In this study, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) was used as the only nitrogen source for kombucha fermentation. During the seven-day fermentation process, pH value, titratable acidity (TA), total pheno...

Unidirectional Na and Cl~ fluxes, net fluxes of Na, Cl~, other ions, titratable acid (TA), ammonia and acidic equivalents (net H) across the gills, together with the comparable renal fluxes, were monitored throughout a 24-h period after exhaustive exercise (simple chasing) in the rainbow trout. The gills were the major site of flux. The renal excretion of [TA—HCO3~], ammonia, lactate and most e...

The rational use of nutrients is of fundamental importance for obtaining high productivity of high nutritional quality. This work was developed with the aim of evaluating the quality of pepper fruit grown under different fertigation managements and different levels of nitrogen and potassium. The experimental design was of randomised blocks in a 3 x 6 factorial scheme with four replications. The...

Pitanga (Eugenia uniflora L.) is an exotic fruit species of significant economic importance. However, due to genetic variability, its exploitation hampered by the lack homogeneous production. In this scenario, study aimed select pitanga genotypes according physical and physicochemical parameters fruits grown under semi-arid conditions. The was developed at Federal Rural University Semi-Arid Reg...

Hypocitraturia (HCit) is one of the most remarkable features of renal tubular acidosis, but an acidification defect is not seen in the majority of hypocitraturic patients, whose disease is denoted idiopathic hypocitraturia. In order to assess the integrity of urinary acidification mechanisms in hypocitraturic idiopathic calcium stone formers, we studied two groups of patients, hypocitraturic (H...

GOLDSTEIN, LEON. Renal ammonia and acid excretion in infant rats. Am. J Physiol. 218(5) : 1394-l 398. 1970.-The rate of ammonia excretion in infant rats (9-14 days old) was approximately two-thirds the adult level. Excretion of titratable acid (TA) was approximately one-third that of adult rats until 14 days after birth. Between 14 and 21 days after birth, the rates of excretion of ammonia and ...

in this study, the effectiveness of chitosan coating treatment to control weight loss and maintaining fruit quality of apricot was investigated. fruits were coated with 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% chitosan as well as distilled water (control). following treatments, fruits were stored at 0?c and 80 ? 2% relative humidity for 25 days. the weight loss, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta)...

The effects of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus bulgaricus) inoculation on the sensory attributes and consumers acceptance of fermented curry paste compared with uncultured sample were assessed. pH, titratable acidity (TA) and color changes, during four-month storage were monitored. Hedonic test was utilized to evaluate consumer perception and acceptability of fer...

Introduction: The antimicrobial compounds have attracted attention these days all around the world. Applying essential oils (EOs) as the herbal antimicrobial materials and natural antioxidant are so valuable in the food industry. In this study the effects of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil (REO) with different phenol contents was investigated on the properties of ...
