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...

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...

Bambara groundnut is an indigenous African vegetable grown mainly for human food and animal feed due to its high protein content. Different factors like varieties and origin can influence the chemical composition of Bambara groundnut cultivars. Therefore, the aims of this study are to produce defatted flour and protein concentrate from newly developed Bambara groundnut cultivars [Accessions No:...

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...

Defatted soybean flour is generated during the oil extraction process of soybean, and it has a protein content ~50%. On other hand, an alkaline solution NaOH produced electrolysis NaCl in novel method used to make potent disinfectant/antiseptic (HOCl). In present work, we suggest using these two products produce soy isolate (SPI), aiming create industrial symbiosis. A Box–Behnken experimental d...

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...

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 ...

To characterize aspartyl aminopeptidase from Aspergillus oryzae, the recombinant enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme cleaves N-terminal acidic amino acids. About 30% activity was retained in 20% NaCl. Digestion of defatted soybean by the enzyme resulted in an increase in the glutamic acid content, suggesting that the enzyme is potentially responsible for the release of glutamic...
