Kodo and little millet (Kutki) have a variety of phytochemical constituents including derivatives hydroxybenzoic acid hydroxycinnamic acids, myricetin, catechin, luteolin, apigenin, daidzein, naringenin, kaempferol, quercetin with vast health benefits thus can be utilized as functional food ingredients. Millet-based foods their products physiological health-promoting impacts, notably antidiabet...

Soybean meal has been largely investigated and commercially used in fish nutrition. However, its inclusion levels have carefully considered due to the presence of antinutritional factors, which depending on a series factors might induce gut inflammation damaging mucosal integrity causing enteritis. Several strategies including genetic engineering applied attempting reduce or eliminate some fact...

This research was aimed at evaluating the proximate composition, level of anti-nutrients, and the mineral composition of raw and processed Sphenostylis stenocarpa seeds and at examining the effect of processing on the parameters. From the proximate composition analysis, the ash content showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the processed and unprocessed (raw) samples. However, ther...

The current study evaluated the Phytochemicals Nutritional and Anti-nutritional Compositions of Fresh, Sprouted Toasted Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) Seed extracts. phytochemicals, proximate, amino acids, microminerals antinutrients compositions were determined following standard laboratory procedures in autoanalizer machines. Data analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by LSD Duncan test for l...

Protein is one of the essential major nutrients required for cell functioning in human body. Complete proteins, which are usually found animal-based despite having high biovailability also cause adverse effect on environment and increased risk diet-related chronic diseases. Recent years have witnessed enhanced awareness about health benefits substituting proteins with plant-based especially dev...

The objective of this work is to identify and eliminate antinutritional factors in the fruit kernel Irvingia smithii (wild mango tree) from KISANTU botanical garden (DRC) by thermal effect at different temperatures (T1: sun drying, T2: roasting an oven 130° C for 30 minutes, T3: boiling 45 minutes) as a function time. It appears results our analyzes that kernels contain low proportions: phytate...

Abstract In order to develop adequate complementary foods (CFs) improve infant and young child feeding, the inclusion of animal source (ASFs) into plant-based (PBFs) is paramount. Unfortunately, incorporation ASFs PBFs formulate CFs was infrequent in developing countries, especially Nigeria. Yet, few that were formulated by this strategy lacked studies. This study investigated compositional qua...
