Based on performance of feedlot cattle, steam flaking increases the value of corn by 18%, considerably more than is suggested by tabular values. Tabular values underestimate the energy availability of flaked corn by failing to account for digestibility of the nonstarch OM that is increased by flaking by the same magnitude (10%) as starch. Correcting for improvement in digestibility of nonstarch...

not having any emetic medicines, he tried to induce vomiting by means of his finger introduced into mouth, as a consequence he had a good deal of retching, but no vomiting ; after this he suffered from intense dyspnoea, and came at once to hospital for medical aid.

as nitric oxide (NO), superoxide anion (O2 ), hydroxyl ( ·OH) radicals and peroxynitrite (ONOO ), are toxic and play an important role in tissue injury. O2 reacts rapidly with NO to produce the more toxic ONOO . In addition, ONOO and its decomposition product, ·OH, contribute to antioxidant depletion, alterations of protein structure and oxidative damage observed in human diseases. Thus, it is ...

The kinetics of N2O decomposition to gaseous nitrogen and oxygen over HZSM-5 catalysts with low content of iron (<400 ppm) under transient and steady-state conditions was investigated in the temperature range of 250–380 8C. The catalysts were prepared from the HZSM-5 with Fe in the framework upon steaming at 550 8C followed by thermal activation in He at 1050 8C. The N2O decomposition began at ...

Colorectal cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancer and a leading cause of cancer related death in the US. Many currently used chemotherapeutic agents are derived from botanicals. Identifying herbal sources, including those from ginseng family, to develop better anti-cancer therapies remains an essential step in advancing the treatment of the cancer. In this article, potential roles of g...

The research was focused on quantitative analysis of L-Dopa content in extracts of various products from velvet bean tempe processing. The procedures of velvet bean tempe processing were dehulling, soaking, steaming, inoculating with Raprima tempe inoculum that contain Rhizopus oligosporus NRRL 2771, packaging and fermenting at room temperature for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h, respectively. The product...

Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) is a heat-processed ginseng developed by the repeated steaming and air-drying of fresh ginseng. Compared with fresh ginseng, KRG has been shown to possess greater pharmacological activities and stability because of changes that occur in its chemical constituents during the steaming process. In addition to anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulatory activities, ...
