Aloe vera gel is widely used as a functional ingredient in food processing. This gel is very unstable due to its high water activity. Drying process can be used to obtain shelf stable products. Response surface methodology was used to assess the effects of solution concentration (30-60% w/w), solution temperature (30-50°C) and immersion time (4-6h) at atmospheric pressure and constant solution ...

 Methodology: used all 25 recipes purchased from same farmer at kedjom ketingoh division were prepared laboratory College Technonolgy – Universit...

there is little information available on morphological and agronomic traits, as well aschemical compositions of iranian mint landraces. this study was conducted to investigate themorphological, agronomic and oil content characteristics of iranian mint landraces using twelvelandraces, three of which belong to mentha longifolia, and the remaining, mentha spicata l, originatedfrom central regions ...

Tigernut, or Cyperus esculentus L, is a tuber that grows and frequently consumed in West Africa. Tigernut highly nutritive with high starch, glucose proteins contents. It's minerals (including phosphorus potassium), as well vitamins C, D, B1, which all assist to improve antioxidant activity. It can be raw dried combined roasted peanuts. The minerals, phytochemical contents of ...

ABSTRACT- This study was designed to investigate the effects of adding different levels of date presscakes (DP), with and without enzyme supplementation (ES), on the ileal digestibility and growth performance of broiler. A completely randomized design containing 2 × 5 factorial arrangement of treatments (with and without enzyme supplementation and 5 levels of DP) was used. The enzyme complex co...

Liver and kidney are exposed to a lot of oxidant substances that are both from exogenous and endogenous sources. The aim of this study was to compare between the antioxidant effects of silymarin and vitamin E against carbon tetrachloride (CCl ) induced oxidative stress in rats. Male albino rats were divided into 4 four groups. The first group received corn oil s.c. twice weekly and distilled wa...

The aim of the study was to examine the changes in milk fatty acid (FA) profile of grazing buffaloes fed either low (L, 276g/d) or high (H, 572g/d) doses of a blend (70:30, wt/wt) of soybean and linseed oils. Fourteen multiparous Mediterranean buffaloes grazing on a native pasture were fed 4 kg/day of a commercial concentrate containing no supplemental oil over a pre-experimental period of ten ...

This research study is aimed at making a comparative analysis of proximate, sugar and vitamin contents in peels, seed fruits avocado pear green mangoes from Awka metropolies. The proximate compositions (moisture, ash, fat, fiber, protein carbohydrate), reducing, non-reducing total were determined using AOAC (Association Official Analytical Collaboration) method. concentration A C was by titrati...

In this study, it was aimed to compare of nutritional composition, cholesterol, trans fatty acids, lipid quality index, vitamins (A, B9, B2, B12, D3), selenium (Se), and iron (Fe) contents between farmed Atlantic salmon rainbow trout. Crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, energy values were slightly higher than trout while ash moisture in (p < 0.05). The cholesterol content samples found a...

Nowadays, organic foods are recognized for having a better nutritional quality than those from conventional agriculture, which explains the growing demand vegetables. For present research, three tomato cultivars, Mongal F1, Roma VF and F1 Cobra 26 were grown using methods, to assess impact of cultivation practices drying method on micronutrient content these cultivars. Samples compared lycopene...
