This work aimed at investigating the effects of three domestic cooking methods (roasting, sprouting and boiling) on phytochemical contents (phenolic content, flavonoid, fibre), and anti-obesity (weight loss, hypoglycemic effect, serum lipids) potential of soybean seeds in obese male rats. Ten different forms were implemented, combining hulled/unhulled and raw/cooked soybean seeds using a basal ...

A key problem in processing raw optical mapping data (Rmaps) is finding Rmaps originating from the same genomic region. These sets of related can be used to correct errors Rmap data, and find overlaps between assemble consensus maps. Previous overlap aligners are computationally very expensive do not scale large eukaryotic sets. We present Selkie , an aligner based on a spaced <i...

The physical properties of maize seeds are closely related to food processing and production. To study evaluate the characteristics seeds, typical in a cold region North China were used as test varieties. A variety agricultural material benches built measure seeds’ parameters, such thousand-grain weight, moisture content, triaxial arithmetic mean particle size, coefficient static friction, roll...

opium poppy (papaver somniferum l.) has two major products: alkaloids in the capsules and the seeds.  the seed contains oil, protein, carbohydrate, moisture and mineral matters. the seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and oleic acid. remaining meals after oil extraction are the important source for animal diets. the united nations recognize turkey and india as tra...

In order to make Mucuna seeds consumable, are treated according the following procedures: boiling, soaking followed by boiling in presence of 0.5% KOH and finally for a long time KOH, so that tannins can be removed. Preliminary studies done on raw four species revealed tannins. The results showed crushed contained all high tannin with content 0.370 g GAE/100g DM, 0.336 DM; 0.266 DM 0.203 deerig...
