Protein hydrolysates are an emerging class of crop management products utilized for improving nutrient assimilation and mitigating crop stress. They generally consist of a mixture of peptides and free amino acids derived from the hydrolysis of plant or animal sources. The present work was aimed at studying the effects and the action mechanisms of a protein hydrolysate derived from animal residu...

The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize the proteases from seven leguminous seeds: soybean, lentil, black gram, green gram, bengal gram, groundnut and pea bean. We elaborated the easy procedure for isolation of protease from leguminous seeds by using (NH4)2SO4 precipitation. The effect of pH and temperature of protease activity were determined. This study revealed that the p...

Most pulse (nonoilseed legume) seed flours can be fractionated rapidly and economically by air classification into protein and starch concentrates. The nutritional value of air-classified field pea and faba bean concentrates requires characterization to assess the feeding opportunity for pigs. Thus, the objectives were to characterize the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of DM, OM, ene...

OBJECTIVE To compare Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) scores at 8 weeks in long-term-care residents with pressure ulcers who were given standard care plus a concentrated, fortified, collagen protein hydrolysate supplement vs. residents who were given standard care plus placebo. DESIGN Randomized, prospective, controlled, multicenter trial at 23 long-term-care facilities in 4 states. ...

Glucose usually is included in amino acid solutions for intravenous infusion. This has seemed desirable because the amino acids can spare body protein only when sufficient calories are provided. Although the calories so gained (usually 200 for a liter of hydrolysate) are far from enough for this purpose, they do add to the total and besides they might serve particularly efficiently being presen...

The crop yield and quality of seven annual forages (four grasses three legumes) in sole mixtures (ratio 50:50) for oat (Avena sativa L.), Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack), barley (Hordeum vulgare pea (Pisum sativum berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) common vetch (Vicia were evaluated a two-year field experiment adopting two harvesting times, gree...

releasing of textile dye effluents into general water bodies is a major environmental and healthproblem. color removal, in particular, has recently become of major scientific interest, as indicated by themultitude of related research reports. during the past two decades, several physico-chemical decolorizationtechniques have been reported, few, however, have been accepted by the textile industr...

Present study highlights on isolation of bioactive peptide from the sesame protein hydrolysate with an objective of better utilization sesame meal. Sesame protein isolate was enzymatically modified to prepare sesame protein hydrolysate using enzyme ‘Protease A Amano 2G’ in an enzyme membrane reactor and the hydrolysate was subsequently fractionated by ultrafiltration using membranes of decreasi...

In the present study, the effect of various processing methods like soaking, autoclaving, storage and pullulanase treatment on resistant starch content and in vitro starch digestibility of dhals (split pulses) of pulses pigeon pea, green gram and black gram was assessed. Results showed that these processing methods including pullulanase treatment significantly decreased the resistant starch (RS...

In this study, enzymatic hydrolysis and cationization with epoxypropyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride of wheat protein, an economic protein complex containing great amount of disulfide bonds, were conducted to improve properties such as solubility and disassociation behaviour for recovery of damaged hair when used in shampoo. The optimal conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis were pH 8.2, 55°C wi...
