an experiment was carried out to develop and evaluate a semi-purified diet suitable for fiber related studies without negative impacts on performance, serum biochemistry and intestinal morphology of growing japanese quails. total of 144 japanese quail chicks were used in a factorial arrangement using completely randomized design with 6 treatments, 4 replicates of 6 quails in each replicate. the...

Nineteen fungal species were isolated from the ingredients of the ayurvedic drugs, Jusanda. The significance of the findings is discussed.

A number of analytical methods for constituents commonly measured in distillers dried grains (DDG) are practiced in laboratories serving the agricultural sector. A large interlaboratory variability among results has been observed in the industry. Methods for moisture, crude fat, and crude fiber are empirical, thus part of this variability can be attributed to the use of different methods of ana...

This study investigated some quality attributes of unripe cooking banana (UBF), pigeon pea (PPF), and sweetpotato (SPF) flour blends. Simplex centroid mixture design was used to obtain 17 blends from the flours. The nutrient composition, color, and functional properties of the blends were evaluated using standard methods. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and treatment means were comp...

Prototype foods to ment the requirements of space travelers have been investigated. These foods were required to be lightweight, easy to prepare, highly nutritious, neither thirst provoking nor gas forming, and low in crude fiber. The food should not exceed a cube size of 1/4 3/8 inch and should, after storage up to 6 months at 40, 70, and 100F,closely resemble the color, flavor, and texture of...
