Increasing the area of arable oilseed land, particularly rapeseed, and the important role of potassium in yield and oil content, especially in calcareous and high pH soils, need to more knowledge about plant nutrition requirement. In this study, the effect of sources and different levels of potassium fertilizers on some quality and quantity characteristics on canola yield were assessed by combi...

Plant-based milk alternatives are surging in popularity, although many examples have poor nutritional value compared to cow's milk. At the same time, protein concentrates and isolates from pea other pulses increasingly being recognised for their potential as functional nutritious ingredients.

A completely randomized design, with 3×3 factorial arrangement, was conducted to test various ratios of dietary protein to energy (P/E) for rainbow trout, reared in brackish water. Three crude protein levels (35, 40 and 45%) and three energy levels (370, 400 and 430 Kcal/100g) at each protein level were utilized. Semi-purified diet containing fish meal, casein and gelatin as the sources o...

Controversy concerning the relative nutritive merits of protein from plant ‘and animal sources is of long standing. Our conception of the total quantity of protein required has also swung wildly from one extreme to the other. This scientific problem, intrinsically difficult in itself, has been, and still is, emotionally bedevilled by prejudice and sentiment. Recent advances in biochemistry have...

Oilseed cakes left after the oil extraction for different purposes are chiefly used as cattle feed, compost amendment, or plant conditioner. These oilseed rich in protein, nitrogenous compounds, and minerals. Beside its conventional usage, studies have been conducted to utilize these protein resources human consumption. Considering exponentially increasing population escalating food prices, sou...
