BACKGROUND Tempeh is a food product obtained from legumes by means of solid-state fermentation with Rhizopus sp. Our previous research proved that mixed-culture inoculum may also be successfully applied. The objective of present research was to study the proteolytic activity of R. microsporus var. chinensis and A. oryzae during tempeh-type fermentation of grass pea seeds, and the effect of inoc...

background: based on recent studies, there are controversial reports on the ca-pacity of tissue cyst forming of toxoplasma gondii rh strain. in this study, the capac-ity was evaluated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. methods : rh strain was subcutaneously inoculated to ten wistar rats. after one month, their blood, brain, tongue and diaphragm were collected and evaluated by mat, pcr, pathol...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementing different levels (0, 0.5 and 1% of buffered rumen fluid) of methanolic extract of pomegranate peel, on rumen fermentation kinetics of four oil seed meals (soybean meal, cotton seed meal, rapeseed meal and sunflower seed meal), using in vitro gas production technique. The samples were incubated in syringes containing rumen liqu...
