Studies on Leucaena Leucocephala Seed Gum: Rheological Properties
The apparent viscosity (pseudoplastic viscosity) of mucilage of leucaena seed gum was calculated, based on flow curves, obtamed With multiple point viscometer. Attempts were made to correlate the various rheological properties, describIng the_ overall flow behaviOur of gum, with their concentrations. The relationship between N(exponential constant) and concentration was found to be a zero order...
متن کاملThe co-occurrence of two pyridine alkaloids, mimosine and trigonelline, in Leucaena leucocephala.
Leucaena leucocephala is a nitrogen-fixing tropical leguminous tree that produces two pyridine alkaloids, i. e. mimosine [beta-(3-hydroxy-4-pyridon-1-yl)-L-alanine] and trigonelline (1-methylpyridinium-3-carboxylate). Mimosine has been detected in leaves, flowers, pods, seeds, and roots, and it is one of the principal non-protein amino acids that occurs in all organs. Asparagine was the most ab...
متن کاملLeaf-closing substance in Leucaena leucocephala.
Potassium (2R,3R)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-2-methylbutanoate (1) was identified as a leaf-closing substance in the nyctinastic plant, Leucaena leucocephala. Compound 1 showed strong leaf-closing activity toward L. leucocephala and was not effective against other nyctinastic plants. The potassium ion was indispensable for the bioactivity of 1. Compound 1 gradually lost its bioactivity because of the exc...
متن کاملGrowth performance of broiler chicks fed Aspergillus niger- fermented Terminalia catappa seed meal-based diet
Forty-five, day-old broiler chicks with an initial average weight of 30.25±2.40 g were divided into three groups of fifteen animals each. The first group was placed on soybean-based (control) diet; the second group on raw (unfermented) T. catappa seed meal-based diet; and the third on A. niger-fermented T. catappa seed meal-based diet, for seven (7) weeks. Feed intake, feed conversion ratio, av...
متن کاملHaematological Parameters of Broiler Chicks Fed Aspergillus niger - Fermented Terminalia catappa Seed Meal-Based Diet
The effect of Aspergillus niger-fermented Terminalia catappa seed meal-based diet on the haematological parameters of broiler chicks was studied. T. catappa seed meal was inoculated with A. niger spore suspension and incubated at room temperature for 3 weeks. Forty-five, day-old broiler chicks with an initial average weight of 30.25 ± 2.40 g were divided into three groups of fifteen animals eac...
