The quality and nutritional value for both fish protein concentrate (FPC) made from tilapia by-products as well as salt-biscuits supplemented with 5% FPC were evaluated. The resultant product (FPC) was composed (on wet weight) of 4.18% moisture, 68.83% protein content, 0.75% lipid and 25.39% ash and it was more uniform in color and texture. In addition, the pH value was 6.67 and total volatile ...

Dietary pattern changes may be one of the key factors associated with increasing asthma prevalence. Observational studies have found negative associations between fruit, vegetable and fish consumption and risk of asthma. Experimental studies have also shown that probiotics can modulate the immune system. However, each dietary component exhibits a modest effect. The objective of the present stud...

BACKGROUND Environmental factors impact the skin aging resulting in decrease of skin radiance. Nutrition and particularly antioxidants could help to fight against skin degradation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an oral supplement rich in specific antioxidants, SkinAx2TM, on the improvement of the skin radiance in women. METHODS The open-label clinical study ...

This experiment was designed to investigate the effects of different concentrations (0, 0.33, 0.66, 0.99, and 1.32 g/L) of a twin-strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae live cells on in vitro mixed ruminal microorganism fermentation of corn starch, soluble potato starch, and sudangrass hay (60.5%, DM basis) plus concentrate mixture (39.5%, DM basis). Ruminal fluid was collected from two dairy cows,...

Background: The literature on health care seeking behaviour in sub-Saharan Africa for children suffering from malaria is quite extensive. This literature, however, is predominately quantitative and, inevitably, fails to explore how the local concepts of illness may affect people's choices. Understanding local concepts of illness and their influence on health care-seeking behaviour can complemen...

Abstract The objective of this work was to compare the zootechnical performance Dorper x Santa Inês crossbred lambs finished in grazing systems on Megathyrsus maximus Aruana cultivar pasture, with and without shading, a feedlot. Twenty-four non-castrated were used completely randomized experimental design, three following treatments eight replicates each: 'Aruana' pasture shading + supplement; ...

Recently, consumers have become more concerned with foods contain natural ingredients in terms of health and economic. Hence, in this study, the effects of concentrate of smoked and sun dried raisin were investigated at 3 levels (1, 3 and 5%) as a natural humectant to improve the quality and shelf life of flat bread. Results showed that addition of smoked and sun dried raisin improved quality a...

in this research work, the zinc extraction was investigated, using bioleaching process from a low grade zinc concentrate which was produced from the accumulated flotation tailings. zinc content was initially upgraded to 11.97% by flotation process. bioleaching experiments were designed and carried out by a mixed culture of acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, leptospir...

utilizing natural clay in the traditional production of the grape concentrates in the villages cause the input of large amounts of some metals (solutes) in the product which will be harmful for the consumers. to eliminate the natural clay from this procedure in non-industrial scale, bentonite was selected as an aid-clarifier and examined in treatments under these conditions: two levels of bento...
