The potential of extracts prepared from seeds of three citrus species (orange, lemon and grapefruit) to stabilize lipid oxidation of cooked and raw broiler meat under refrigeration storage was evaluated and compared with butylated hydroxyl anisole (BHA), a synthetic antioxidant. The citrus seed extracts were separately applied at a rate of 1.5% of the weight of the meat. There was a negative co...

a total of 280 unsexed broiler chicks, 21 days-old and weighing 580 g on average were randomly distributed into 28 experimental units of 10 birds each. seven experimental diets containing respectively 0% (t0 control), 20% raw cowpeas (t1), 20% raw cowpeas + 0.2% of canarium charcoal (t2), 20% raw cowpeas + 0.2% maize cob charcoal (t3), 20% cooked cowpeas (t4), 20% cooked cowpeas + 0.2% canarium...

in this study, ice-glazing process of frozen shrimp by chitosan was applied to protect the frozen shrimp from undesirable chemical and physical changes. the effects of 2% chitosan solution glazing on quality of whole, raw and cooked (without head, tail and shell) shrimps stored at -18±2ºc for 6 months were investigated and compared with water glazing, sodium metabisulfite treatment control. gla...

This review of the medical literature from 1994 to 2003 summarizes the relationship between raw and cooked vegetables and cancer risk and examines whether they may affect cancer risk differently. Twenty-eight studies examined the relationship between raw and cooked vegetables and risk for various cancers. Twenty-one studies assessed raw, but not cooked, vegetables and cancer risk. The majority ...

This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional value (proximate, fatty acid profiles, vitamins and mineral contents and also nutritional quality indices (NQI)) of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) prepared according to common consumer techniques: raw, poached, steamed, microwaved, pan-fried and deep-fried (in olive oil). In comparison to raw fish fillets, when grass carp was cooked there was a...

Arsenic contamination of tubewell water is a major public-health problem in Bangladesh. In the recent years, the use of shallow and deep tubewell water for irrigation and the use of excess amount of cheap fertilizers and pesticides containing cadmium pose a serious threat of contamination of arsenic and cadmium in food. In an exploratory study, arsenic and cadmium were measured in foods from Ma...

Introduction: Many plants with anti-oxidant properties proved to be effective on diabetes treatment. Brassica napus (turnip) is an anti-oxidant plant consumed raw or cooked. In this study, we examined and compared hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties of raw and cooked Brassica napus in diabetic rats. Objectives: Due to measuring bioactive component of Brassica napus as a rich source of fla...
