This experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different sources of natural pigments on yolk color and laying hen performance. A completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates was used.The six experimental treatments were: a control diet containing yellow corn grain, a reference diet containing wheat and barley grain instead of corn; a red pepper diet composed of refe...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp (DLP) on performance of broilers and laying hens. In first experiment, 240 of broilers (Ross-308) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates (with 20 birds in each replicate) from 1 to 42 days. The amounts of DLP in diets were 0, 1.5, 3 and 4.5 percentage. In the se...

enzymatic deinking of xerox printed papers by commercial cellulase from aspergillus niger fungi was investigated. enzymatic treatment was done under constant condition of 0.1 percent enzyme based on oven-dried weight of pulp (102 unit per 100 gram oven-dried pulp), 15 min. treatment time, in four ph levels as 4, 5.7, 8 and 9. then, the effect of ph variation on the appearance and strength prope...

Citrus produced in the southwestern United States is often irrigated with perchlorate-contaminated water. This irrigation water includes Colorado River water which is contaminated with perchlorate from a manufacturing plant previously located near the Las Vegas Wash, and ground water from wells in Riverside and San Bernardino counties of California which are affected by a perchlorate plume asso...

The purpose of this study was to determine the dietary effects fruit pulps (dried tomato, apple and grape) on performance egg quality characteristics laying hens. In trial, 196 Lohmann sandy layers 25 weeks age were distributed into four groups with seven replicates for 9 weeks. Trial fed following diets, control group basal diet (no additive), 4 % dried tomato pulp, 4% pulp 2.5% grape pulp. Fe...

Pectin is a complex polysaccharide and natural food additive extracted from citrus peel and apple pomace in the form of brownish powder. It is widely used as a jelling and thickening agent and the food industry especially in jams and jellies. It is also recommended for use as fat replacer and also lowers blood cholesterol by increasing viscosity in the intestinal tract thus lowering cholesterol...

Australian finger limes (Citrus australasica L.), an unusual citrus due to its unique pulp with a caviar-like appearance, has reached the global market as promising source of bioactive compounds that promote health. This research was, therefore, performed shed light on bioactivity and composition different parts Citrus L. (peel pulp). Initial ultrasound-assisted extraction using MeOH:H2O (80:20...

Drying is commonly used for preservation and processing of litchi. However, its polysaccharide structure may be altered by the drying process, resulting in biological activity changes. Polysaccharides from fresh and dried litchi pulp (denoted as LPF and LPD, respectively) were isolated, investigated by GC-MS, GPC and UV/IR spectrum analysis and their antitumor and immunomodulatory activities we...
