Iron balance is regulated by absorption of iron rather than by excretion, because humans cannot actively excrete iron. Iron is absorbed from the small intestine. The regulation of iron absorption and transport is complex; there seems to be an important role for hepcidin, a hormone secreted by the liver. Iron is lost from the body through sloughed skin cells and sloughed enterocytes from the gut...

Background: Medicinal plants were used for traditional treatments in curing numerous human diseases since thousands of years many parts the world. In rural areas developing countries, are as primary source medicine. Cassia auriculata L. is one type plant which provides health and nutrition promoting compounds diet. The present experiment was carried out at Department Food Nutrition, College Com...

Abstract. Suryani AE, Anggraeni AS, Istiqomah L, Damayanti E, Karimy MF. 2021. Isolation and identification of phytate-degrading yeast from traditional fermented food. Biodiversitas 22: 866-873. Application phytase (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase) to catalyze the release phosphate phytates contained on grain-based feed has been used widely in poultry industry. In this study, as ...

Soy protein-based formulas have been available for almost 100 years. Since the first use of soy formula as a milk substitute for an infant unable to tolerate a cow milk protein-based formula, the formulation has changed to the current soy protein isolate. Despite very limited indications for its use, soy protein-based formulas in the United States may account for nearly 25% of the formula marke...

some wild ganoderma lucidum were found growing on logs of dead wood and tree stumps at different location of the nasarawa state college of agriculture, lafia and the faculty of agriculture, lafia campus, during the wet rainy season. the matured fruiting bodies seen as red open caps were removed for proximate, mineral and anti-nutrient evaluation. the result showed that the fruiting bodies conta...

Objective: To determine the main nutritional properties and content of bioactive compounds five varieties taro, grown in municipalities Huimanguillo Cunduacán, Tabasco. Methodology: The Campechana, Chiapaneca, Tabasqueña, Dulce (P1 P2) were evaluated to their proximal chemical composition, non-nutritional compounds, antioxidant activity. An analysis variance Tukey test applied data obtained. Re...

Legume seeds, particularly those of the Phaseolus lunatus (L.), are an important source vegetable protein, fiber and micronutrients in diet Ivorian population. However, these seeds contain anti-nutritive factors that limit their use. This study allowed us to evaluate effect cooking time on nutritional anti-nutritional parameters (L.) bean for a better utilization seeds. Red black harvested at s...

Shea press cake is a subproduct of shea butter production. It generally serves as animal food or fuel, in areas. This study demonstrated its ability edible organic bank bioactive molecules useful for human. Therefore, the hydroalcoholic extract was screened through GC-MS analysis, and antinutritional compounds were quantified. Chromatogram revealed wide range belonging to various famillies. Hen...

Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) seeds are underutilized and native to Savannah regions of Africa. The problem the hard-to-cook (HTC) phenomenon with antinutrients exists. application monovalent ion salt solutions becomes important. This study analyzed effect soaking in deionized water, 0.5% w/v salts (NaCl, NaHCO3), sodium a divalent (Na2S2O5) on polyphenyl, antioxidant activity, functional prop...
