Abstract—In the present study an attempt has been made to reengineer traditional wadi into wholesome ready-to-use cereal-pulsebased chunks rich in protein quality and fibre content. Chunks were made using extrusion-dehydration combination. Two formulations i.e., whole green gram dhal with instant oats and washed green gram dhal with whole oats were formulated. These chunks are versatile in natu...

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of feeding rapeseed (27%, DM basis) and sunflower biodiesel by-products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition (FA), profile (ratios and indices),enzyme activitiesfrom thecarcassin lambs fed cereal-based diets. Simultaneously, itwas examined the relationship between ingested FA and carcass FA. Samples were obtaine dfrommal efa...

Micronutrient deficiency is an important cause of growth stunting. To avoid micronutrient deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends complementary feeding with animal-source foods. However, animal-source foods are not readily available in many parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In such areas, caterpillars are a staple in adult diets and may be suitable for complementary ...

The electrolytic lesions of the ventro-medial part of the amygdala in cats increased the cereal and milk intake and reduced the ingestion of meat. In consequence hyperphagia, hyperdipsia of milk and a significant increase of the total caloric intake developed only in cats fed cereal and milk. In cats fed milk and meat hyperdipsia and hypophagia, both of about 50 percent appeared, causing a smal...

Oat bran lowers serum lipid concentrations in healthy and hyperlipidemic subjects. To determine the effects of a ready-to-eat oat-bran cereal on lipid concentrations, we fed control (corn flakes) and oat-bran cereal diets for 2 wk to 12 men with undesirably high serum total-cholesterol concentrations. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two diets upon admission to the metabolic ward. ...

Introduction Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is one of the important food legumes in countries like Bangladesh, India, and Ethiopia. It has desirable agronomic characteristics, notably the ability to resist adverse climatic conditions. Nutritionally it is tasty and protein-rich. However over consumption can cause an upper motor neuron disease known as neurolathyrism, an irreversible paraparesis of...

BACKGROUND High intake of cow-milk protein in formula-fed infants is associated with higher weight gain and increased adiposity, which have led to recommendations to limit protein intake in later infancy. The impact of protein from meats for breastfed infants during complementary feeding may be different. OBJECTIVE We examined the effect of protein from meat as complementary foods on growth a...
