The concentration in pancreatic tissue and the total pancreatic content of three xenobiotic metabolising enzymes has been determined in two models of experimental pancreatic growth namely, cholecystokinin-octapeptide injections and soy flour feeding. No significant change in pancreatic concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase or glucuronyl transferase was detected. In both models of pancrea...

BACKGROUND The standard treatment of severe malnutrition in Malawi often utilises prolonged inpatient care, and after discharge results in high rates of relapse. AIMS To test the hypothesis that the recovery rate, defined as catch-up growth such that weight-for-height z score >0 (WHZ, based on initial height) for ready-to-use food (RTUF) is greater than two other home based dietary regimens i...

Screen analysis Table 1-Screen analyses of sorghum and soy grits, reground products and cottonseed flour 1969) from yellow sorghum with less than 2% of kernels having brown subcoats. Brown-seeded sorghums were minimized because they have lower protein nutritional value and digestibility (Axtell et al., 1975) and contain pigments which can darken the fmal product as shown by Rooney et al. (1970)...

Most medium formulations for improving culture of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) based on protein sources have used enriched media like animal feed such as dried egg yolk, lactalbumin, and liver extract, among other ingredients. Most results, however, showed unstable yields and longer production time. Many of the results do not show the detailed parameters of fermentation. Soy flour, cotton s...

The effects on the pancreas of chronic dietary exposure to defatted soy flour and soy protein isolate have been studied in two two-year feeding trials in rats. Emphasis was placed on detecting changes that might accompany low levels of dietary trypsin inhibitor (TI) as might be found in edible grade soy products and on studying the influence of protein nutrition. The major pathological findings...

1presented at UNIDO-NU Soybean Conference, Peoria, Illinois, November 1969. 2Northern Marketing and Nutrition Research Division, ARS, USDA. DUring the past 35 years or so workers in the field of animal nutrition have shown, that the protein of boybeans when properly processed is an economical source of feed protein for the efficient production of livestock and poultry. The protein in soy flours...

rheological properties of chocolate are important in manufacturing process for obtaining high-quality products with well-defined texture and are directly influenced by composition and their refining time. soy protein benefits from nutritional and functional properties to be used in different foods. effects of different replacement levels of skim milk powder by soy flour, (from 0 to 100%) and ba...

This study investigated the effects of replacing casein with soy flour on the fatty acids profile and triglycerides metabolism in the liver of rats that were previously fed with normocaloric and hypercaloric diets based on casein. Wistar male rats were used; one group was fed with control diet (AIN-93) and another with hypercaloric diet (AIN-93 with 34.15% sucrose, 42% fat calories) for 9 weeks...

The effect of soy as a natural antioxidant against flaxseed rancidity in yeast breads was tested. Variables included: control (100% bread flour); yeast bread with 15% flax meal in place of part of the total bread flour; yeast bread with 15% flax meal and 5% soy; and yeast bread with 15% flax and 10% soy. Objective and sensory tests were used to evaluate breads. Peroxide values indicated that th...
