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...

Pigeon Pea seeds (Cajanus cajan) were produced into three different flour samples; full fat, defatted and protein isolate. They were subjected to proximate analysis and determination of some functional properties. Proximate composition was carried out on moisture content, protein content, fat content, carbohydrate, ash content and crude fibre content. The proximate analysis (%) shoed that prote...

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...

DVE2010 system was used for model prediction of nutrient supply to ruminants from soy bean meal (SBM), extruded soy bean meal (SBE) and full-fat soybean meal (FSBM). Extruded soy bean meal had the highest truly absorbed rumen undegraded protein in the small intestine (ARUP) followed by SBM and FSBM. There was no significant difference between SBE and FSBM in the case of truly absorbed rumen syn...

This study presents influence of millet flour blend on physical, functional, nutritional, cooking and organoleptic characteristics of noodles prepared from composite flour of millet flour blend, whole wheat flour and soy flour. Fiber and amylose/ amylopectin ratio increased significantly (p<0.05) with increase in level of millet flour blend incorporation. Cooking time of developed noodles from ...

Soya bean formulae have, for some time, received considerable attention as substitutes for human and cows' milk in infant feeding (Dean, 1953), but relatively little is known about the value of soya as a substitute for cows' milk in the treatment of acute kwashiorkor. Dean (1952) found that the progress of children with uncomplicated kwashiorkor on a locally prepared soya banana mixture was sim...

Biscuit is India’s largest industry amongst food industries, with an estimated production of 70, 000 tonnes and cost of three thousand billions US Dollar. Biscuit along with bread forms major baked food accounting to over 30% and 50% respectively of total bakery products produced in the country. The industries have been established in organized and unorganized sectors contributing equal share. ...
