Nowadays, cassava leaves are mostly treated as a byproduct of root production, yet this readily available biomass is rich in protein with balanced content amino acids. Cassava therefore represent promising, underutilized for extraction proteins. The purpose study was to provide updated information on the feasibility producing leaf concentrate use feed and food. In context, concentrates were ref...

Germination and roasting are the simple and easily adaptable technologies for reduction of bulkiness and increasing shelf life of cereal and legume based food formulations [1]. Germination has been reported to induce an increase in free limiting amino acids and available vitamins with modified functional properties of seed components [2]. It has also been shown to decrease anti nutritional fact...

‘Lafun” was enriched with soy protein supplements (curd or residue) during the mashing before drying at 10%. The amino acid result indicated that enrichment improved acids contents as well quality of products. While generally mineral element composition, residue significantly composition when compared to curd. That products were hygienically produced confirmed by non-detection heavy metals whic...

objectives: the aim of this study was to assess nutritional status and identify the most significant mna-items (mini nutritional assessment) to accelerate the determination of nutritional risk of heart-failure in elderly patients. methods and materials: the present research was a cross-sectional descriptive analytical survey on hospitalized heart- failure elderly patients (n=225). the sampling ...

Vigna umbellata (Thunb.)Ohwi and Ohashi, previously Phaseolus calcaratus, is a warm-season legume, commonly called as rice bean and it is a mixed crop with maize, sorghum and cowpea. In this paper proximate composition of rice bean flour and its functional properties and effect of soaking on proximate composition, anti-nutritional factors, functional properties, cooking quality and PCMP number ...

Spent biomass of different seaweeds such as Sargassum wightii, Turbinaria conoides, Padina tetrastomata and Ulva lactuca were evaluated for the nutritional benefits in aqua feeds. Basic nutritional value, of seaweeds contains a number of pigments, defensive and storage compounds, and secondary metabolites that could have beneficial effects in farmed fish. Only a small fraction of algal species ...
