The effect feeding olive-pulp silage (OPS) for 120 days on several blood attributes was studied using 16 rams allotted to two diets consisting of 70% corn silage or 70% OPS. Olive-pulp silage feeding resulted in lower serum total protein, alanine aminotransferase, calcium and phosphorus levels and higher glucose concentration compared to the corn silage diet. Body weight and other blood attribu...

Sugar beet pulp is an abundant industrial waste material that holds a great potential for bioethanol production owing to its high content of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectin. Its structural and chemical robustness limits the yield of fermentable sugars obtained by hydrolyzation and represents the main bottleneck for bioethanol production. Physical (ultrasound and thermal) pretreatment meth...

The physicochemical changes occur during artificial ripening of Red banana variety using ethylene was studied for nine days of storage in a ripening chamber at a storage temperature and relative humidity of 22 °C and 85-88% respectively. It was observed that moisture content of pulp increased gradually during the storage time along with gradual increase in TSS till the end of storage period. St...

In present investigation, efforts have been made to assess physico-chemical properties of jamun and lemon fruit prepare antioxidant rich ready-to-serve (RTS) beverages from juice blends. The physical like color shape was blackish purple ovoid or round in shape. average length, breadth weight were 3.16 cm, 2.17 cm 10.7g respectively while pulp weight, seed inedible waste content 7.45, 2.46, 0.79...

The present study investigated the phenolic profiles of the pulp and peel of nine plantain cultivars and compared them to those of two dessert bananas of commercial interest (Grand Nain and Gros Michel), alongside a newly created hybrid, resistant to black sigatoka disease (F568). Identification and quantification of phenolic compounds were performed by means of HPLC-ESI-HR-MS and HPLC-DAD. Hyd...

ATP-dependent profiles of phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity were determined in both crude and Sephadex G-25-filtered fractions from rabbit dental pulp. ATP had a dual effect on PFK as an activator and an inhibitor, according to its concentration. Gel-filtered PFK showed a similar profile to that of crude PFK, indicating a lack of low-molecular-weight effector(s) for PFK in rabbit dental pulp. ...

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effects of supplement type on performance, reproductive, and physiological responses of grazing yearling beef heifers. Sixty Brahman x British crossbred heifers were stratified by initial body weight (BW) and age, and randomly allocated to 12 pens (five heifers/pen). Pens were randomly assigned to one of two treatments: 1) molasses-based su...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which affects the healing ability of the pulp and periodontium. The aim of the present study was to assess the histopathologic response of dental pulp to pulp capping using MTA or CEM cement in diabetic rats. Thirty two Wistar male rats aged between 8 and 10 weeks (weight: 200-250g) were divided into two groups of diabetic (n=16) and healthy (n=16) animals...

Pulp capping and pulpotomy procedures were performed on 15 male mongrel dogs. Three materials were used: calcium hydroxide, acid-etched dentin bonding, and mineral trioxide aggregate. Six of the animals were killed at 50 days and nine were killed at 150 days. Samples from 11 dogs were used for histological evaluation, and the remaining dog samples were used for scanning electron microscopy eval...
