Pulses are commonly consumed among Indian people as sources of minerals. The objectives of this research were to assess the content of total and bioavailable calcium, inhibiting factors such as oxalate, phytate, tannin and dietary fiber and effect of cooking on bioavailable calcium in the commonly consumed pulses by Indians. The bioavailability of calcium was studied by an in vitro method using...

The main cause of stunting is due to inadequate food intake according the needs for growth and development children, or insufficient nutrition pregnant women. low nutritional lactating mothers as well children under five years old who are still growing developing generally caused by wrong diet. One efforts prevent from an early age search several sources animal source containing protein, fat ma...

This study evaluated the effect of VêO® premium (2 or 4)g and ascorbic acid on pregnant ewes some minerals. Twenty Iraqi are aged 2-4 years in Fallujah, Al-Anbar Government regions from August 5th, 2019, to February 9th, 2020. The were divided randomly into four groups. It was fed naturally one diet, (G1) given 4 g, (G2) 2 (G3) 40 mg, (G4) treated as control group. Blood samples taken monthly v...

Data from the Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l'Eau, les Glaces, et l'Activité (OMEGA) on the Mars Express spacecraft identify the distinct mafic, rock-forming minerals olivine, low-calcium pyroxene (LCP), and high-calcium pyroxene (HCP) on the surface of Mars. Olivine- and HCP-rich regions are found in deposits that span the age range of geologic units. However, LCP-rich regions are found on...

To establish a food guide, the "total diet" needs to be considered, based on prevailing patterns of food and nutrient intake; these will be culturally acceptable and recognize the prevailing social and economic conditions that affect food availability. Dairy produce is a good source of high quality protein, and provides significant amounts of vitamins and minerals. People who consume more dairy...

This report presents dietary intake estimates for selected minerals from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2000, for the U.S. population. These minerals included: calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, and zinc. Mineral intakes are estimated from one 24-hour dietary recall interview. Population means, medians, and standard errors of t...

Calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc are stored in hens’ egg yolk and, except for copper, the majority of these minerals are located in egg yolk granules (Table 1). Presumably, up to 90% calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc are firmly bound in the phosvitin-lipovitellin complex of granules (GREENGARD et al., 1964; TABORSKY, 1980; TUPPER et al., 1954). As was discussed by Richards, copper ions...

It is now well known that the skeleton serves as a store of calcium and phosphorus, and that a part of the mineral requirements of lactation is met by bone resorption. In an earlier communication (Warnock & Duckworth, 1944) the literature was surveyed and the role of the spongiosa as a source of minerals for lactation in the rat was studied under conditions of adequate calcium intake. Certain i...
