BACKGROUND Postprandial hyperglycemia is an early defect of type 2 diabetes and one of primary anti-diabetic targets. Treatment of postprandial hyperglycemia can be achieved by inhibiting intestinal α-glucosidase, the key enzyme for oligosaccharide digestion and further glucose absorption. Grape pomace is winemaking byproduct rich in bioactive food compounds such as phenolic antioxidants. This ...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different sources of natural pigments on yolk color and laying hen performance. A completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates was used.The six experimental treatments were: a control diet containing yellow corn grain, a reference diet containing wheat and barley grain instead of corn; a red pepper diet composed of refe...

Nowadays, organic foods are recognized for having a better nutritional quality than those from conventional agriculture, which explains the growing demand vegetables. For present research, three tomato cultivars, Mongal F1, Roma VF and F1 Cobra 26 were grown using methods, to assess impact of cultivation practices drying method on micronutrient content these cultivars. Samples compared lycopene...

Given the pivotal role of Platelet-Activating-Factor (PAF) in atherosclerosis and the cardio-protective role of PAF-inhibitors derived from olive pomace, the inclusion of olive pomace in fish feed has been studied for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). The aim of the current research was to elucidate the anti-atherogenic properties of specific HPLC lipid fractions obtained from olive pomace, o...

tomatoes (roma cultivar) picked up for the study were obtained from varaminelocal market. each tomato was divided into four portions. quarter portions of tomato were placed in osmotic solutions that were different in levels of sucrose and nacl (30 and 40% for sucrose, and 5, 10 and 15% for nacl). osmotic dehydration was carried out for varied time durations from 15 up to 240 min. temperature of...

The aim of the experiment was to determine amino acid content in 3 grape varieties by-products (bunch, pomace, stem) from Austria (AT) and Slovakia (SK). In total, 54 samples Zweigelt (ZG), Pinot Blanc (PB) Green Veltliner (GV) white skinned 6 different locations (Nitra Vienna wine region) Vitis vinifera sp. were analysed. each variety acids composition determined for whole (bunch) industry (po...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by postprandial hyperglycemia, which is an early defect of T2DM and thus a primary target for anti-diabetic drugs. A therapeutic approach is to inhibit intestinal α-glucosidase, the key enzyme for dietary carbohydrate digestion, resulting in delayed rate of glucose absorption. Although tea extracts have been reported to have ...
