The proximate composition, amino acids and fatty acids composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Richardson, 1846), were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but the lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher...

Leaf & Neuberger (1947) reported that feeding rats with diets low in protein or sulphur-containing amino acids produced a marked and rapid fall in the reduced glutathione level of the liver to 20-30% of the normal value. The authors stated that the original purpose of their work was 'to find out whether the acute massive necrosis of the liver observed in rats reared on diets containing only tra...

Amino acids are the important nitrogenous components responsible for the growth and reproduction of fungi. During this study 10 grams of each amino acids were added into 50ml of sabourd dextrose (SD) liquid media. Later on they were inoculated with isolated dermatophytic fungi ie Microsporum canis and Histoplasma capsulatum and incubated at 25±1oc for 15 days. After 15 days grown fungal were me...

in an endeavor to find a novel series of antihyperglycemic agents, new benzimidazole and pyrimidine derivatives were successfully synthesized efficiently in high yield with high purity, starting from amino acids in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride (pocl3). the synthesized compounds were identified by 1h-nmr, 13c-nmr, ft-ir spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. all products were...

an experiment was conducted to determine apparent ileal digestibility of crude protein (cp) and amino acids (aa) and digestible cp and aa of fish meal (fm) in 21-d-old broiler chickens using the regression technique. four diets containing 0, 1, 2, and 3% fm in place of cornstarch were formulated with fm as the sole contributor of cp and aas in the sequential diets. eighty 14-d-old broiler chick...

Cereals and legumes are staple foods in India and are limiting in lysine and sulphur amino acids, respectively. Available lysine loss, due to Maillard-type reactions that may occur during food preparation, exacerbates the problem of lysine deficiency particularly in cereals. Consequently, determining the contents of digestible essential amino acids, particularly lysine, is important. True ileal...

in current study, protein hydrolysates were produced using microbial proteases of alcalase, protamex and flavourzyme from yellowfin tuna viscera. the results indicated that, protein hydrolysate from alcalase, had significantly higher protein content, nitrogen recovery and degree of hydrolysis than the others (p 0.05). the results of amino acids composition revealed that all hydrolysates were al...

Elementary sulphur and some of its inorganic compounds have long been of practical importance for the control of parasitic and saprophytic fungi, but the use of organic compounds of sulphur is of more recent origin. Compounds such as tetramethylthiuram disulphide and certain metallic salts of dithiocarbamic acids are now of commercial importance in this connexion (Tisdale & Flenner, 1942; Rober...

Isoelectric solubilization /precipitation (ISP) process was used to isolate protein from muscles of Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782). Fish protein and lipid were recovered from whole gutted Prussian carp using acidic and basic isoelectric solubilization/precipitation followed by assaying amino acid and fatty acid profile. Essential amino acids content in acidic and basic pH treatm...
