Germination was investigated as a bioprocess for enhancing the digestibility and bioactivity of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan). Pigeon seeds were germinated 0, 4, 24 48 h. Electrophoresis revealed that 7S vicilin subunits most abundant proteins in control seeds. FTIR showed loss β sheet gain α-helix contents, microscopy cell wall degradation decreased seed protein yield due to partial hydrolysis pr...

<p>The green macroalgae <em>Ulva lactuca</em> (L.) is a potential alternative protein source. This study investigates the effect of soaking and different drying methods on color quality <em>U. lactuca</em>. Moisture ash content, color, i.e., crude protein, in vitro digestibility, solubility seaweed were determined. In its conduct, fresh was soaked water for various...

—The current experiment was performed to determine apparent protein and energy digestibility coefficients of feed ingredients by the fecal stripping technique using extruded diets. The ingredients tested included five fish meals, three terrestrial animal by-products, five plant protein concentrates, four plant meals, and seven low-protein plant ingredients. Protein digestibility differed among ...

five species of dominant halophyte plants including: salsola griffithii, chenopodium album, aeluropus logopoidies, alopecurus textillis and cardaria draba were sampled from sistan region at their late vegetative stage. the collected samples were dried at room temperature and ground, and their chemical components including: dry matter, organic matter, ash, crude protein, crude fat, as well as ce...

1. Dry matter and crude protein (nitrogen x 6.25) digestibility of four poultry diets determined by an in vitro method using the intestinal fluid of pigs was significantly correlated with corresponding in vivo digestibility values obtained with hens. 2. The intestinal fluid could be lyophilized and stored for at least 35 d without losing its activity on digestion.

use poor quality resources of water and soil for food production in developing countries must be considered. therefore, three experiments were conduct in complete randomize design with four replications, to study effects of gradually application of different salinity levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds.m-1) at different growth stages (planting and early seedling) and gradually application s...

Sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). Diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, T1), 35% wheat straw (T2), 35% barley straw (T3) or 35% maize straw (T4). Total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...

A digestibility trial was conducted to evaluate the nutritive value of diets composed of either Cambodian full-fat rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) seeds or soya beans using 16 Mong Cai*Large White pigs. Rubber seeds of unknown falling day and storing period, and extruded soy beans were used in this study. Water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) was given ad libitum as a complementary protein-rich foliage ...

Eight varieties of grain sorghum representing four different seed classes (Waxy, Waxy-BR, Normal, Normal-BR) were wet-milled to study seed composition (percent starch, bran and germ, peripheral endosperm cells-PEC and gluten). Starch recovery was high and similar for all varieties except the Waxy 1126 and Normal-BR ROKY 78. Depression in starch recovery was reflected in the other fractions, par...

Long-term consumption of rapidly digestible starches is a major factor associated with diabetes and other metabolic diseases. In this study, cassava starch (CS) was used to investigate interactions between different forms glutenin protein the effect these on in vitro digestibility. First, CS natural (Glu), hydrolysate (GPH), or citric acid modified (CA-Glu) were heat treated. The physicochemica...
