in recent years, iran has experienced high level depreciation of the nominal exchange rate (ner). the ultimate effects of such depreciation on iranian families’ welfare and income distribution have been a challenging issue among policymakers and researchers. accordingly, this study evaluates the economic effects of ner depreciation on the rice market, using spatial price equilibrium model. the ...

One of the most important food problems of India and many other east and south-east Asian countries, in general, is the provision of adequate amounts of cereals in the diet to meet the caloric requirements of the people. The total production of food grains has been steadily increasing as a result of improved methods of agriculture, but the demand from the rapidly growing population has also cor...

Functional properties of fermented bran produced by Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus sp. in a solid-state fermentation system were determined, with an aim to evaluate their application in food formulation. The defatted rice bran and wheat bran were inoculated with the spores of the cultures and incubated at 30°C for 72 h. Samples were withdrawn at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h. Protein content, protein sol...

brain has a characteristic architecture of packed layers of cells with specific functional identities. In VLDLR Ϫ apoER2 Ϫ , reln Ϫ , and dab1 Ϫ brains, these layers are disorganized. For example, the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum normally migrate outward from an origin near the fourth While some nutrients enter cells through transporters, ventricle, to form a thin layer beneath cerebellar g...

Bacillus licheniformis Heshi-B2 was isolated from fermented rice bran in Heshiko, a food produced by aging salted mackerel with fresh rice bran. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. licheniformis Heshi-B2, originating from a Heshiko sample from Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

This uses expenditure data consumption Indonesian population based r...

Defatted rice bran was treated with subcritical water between 120 and 240°C. The extraction temperature af fected the total carbohydrate and protein contents of the extracts. In the tested temperature range, the total carbohydrate and protein contents were the highest at 180°C and 210°C. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the extracts increased with increasing extraction temperature up to ...
