This paper is concerned with human meal preference. For evaluating human meal Kansei (Kansei means human feelings in Japanese.) a method has been proposed to give the scales for human meal feelings as subjective characteristics of food in which the units of the scales are the standard deviations of the standard normal distribution. Here in addition to the method to evaluate human meal feelings ...

The purpose of this study was to determine if residents (n = 26) living in an Iowa long-term care facility had differences in food intake at their noon meal and body weight when served traditional tray meal service for 10 weeks compared to being served restaurant-style meal service for 10 weeks. The study also evaluated the facility’s raw food costs of the two meal service styles. Mean meal int...

Cotten, Bradley M. M.S., Purdue University, May 2015. Investigating the amino acid digestibility of alternative protein sources and determining the impact of dietary fiber on energy, nitrogen, and amino acid digestibility in growing pigs. Major Professor: Olayiwola Adeola. Three experiments were designed to quantify the nitrogen (N) and amino acid (AA) digestibility of various protein sources f...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of treated protein supplements with tannin extracted from pistachio by-product (P-PB) on in vitro gas production using fistulated sheep. One portion of P-PB was mixed with four portions of water for 48 h. The extracted product was sprayed on soybean meal (SBM) or canola meal (CM) with an equal ratio (1:1 v/w) and dried in the shade. The expe...

effect of electron beam irradiation on degradability coefficients and ruminal- postruminal digestibility of dry matter and crude protein of soybean meal, canola meal and lathyrus sativus seed, irradiated at doses of 50, 100 and 150 kgy was investigated. ruminal degradability of dry matter and crude protein was determined by in situ method using two cannulated holstein heifers. ruminal- postrumi...

BACKGROUND Ileal motor patterns are adapted to the propulsion of viscous meal residue, such as bran, which accumulates in the distal ileum postprandially. AIMS To examine the effects of a second liquid/solid meal on ileal emptying. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Eleven healthy fasting subjects consumed a 1.47 MJ pancake containing 15 g bran and 5 MBq Technetium-99m labelled amberlite resin (meal A). ...

Hospital meal carts are used to deliver meals, drugs and some other materials to patients in the hospital environment. These carts which are moved manually by operators, the health workers, mostly do not comply with ergonomics guidelines and physical requirements of the equipment users in terms of anthropometry data of the region thus increasing the risk of musculoskeletal disorder among...

An experiment was conducted to deter­ mine apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) by grow­ ing pigs of P in canola meal, 00­rapeseed meal, and 00­rapeseed expellers. Canola meal and 00­rapeseed meal are the coproducts produced after the residual oil has been solvent extracted from the prepressed canola seeds and 00­rapeseeds, respectively, wh...

this study investigated the inhibitory effects of bacillus licheniformis on g1 and g2 aflatoxins in culture media and kilka fish meal. two concentrations of aflatoxins (8 and 12 ppb for g1 and g2) and (2 and 4 ml from aflatoxins standard per 50g of fish meal) were used in culture media and kilka fish meal respectively. the doses of bacillus were 3 and 4% for this experiment. changes of aflatoxi...
