One hundred seventy pigs averaging 21 +/- 1 d of age (initially 5.4 and 5.8 kg, respectively) were used in each of two experiments to determine the effect that further heat processing by moist extrusion has on the nutritional value of soybean products fed to the early-weaned pig (d 0 to 14 postweaning). The experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with treatments arranged as a 2 ...

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...

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...

The consumption of foods made from soybeans is increasing because of their desirable nutritional value. However, some soy foods contain high concentrations of oxalate and/or phytate. Oxalate is a component of calcium oxalate kidney stones, whereas phytate is an inhibitor of calcium kidney stone formation. Thirty tested commercial soy foods exhibited ranges of 0.02-2.06 mg oxalate/g and 0.80-18....

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 ...

The impact of jet cooking on shear strength soy-and-water adhesives was investigated to understand the higher commercial soy protein isolates compared flours. Soy flour-based wood are appealing because their bio-based content, low formaldehyde emission, and cost, but application is limited by wet cohesive strength. Previous researchers proposed that process (steam injection with high turbulence...
