BACKGROUND Two vitamin D pregnancy supplementation trials were recently undertaken in South Carolina: The NICHD (n=346) and Thrasher Research Fund (TRF, n=163) studies. The findings suggest increased dosages of supplemental vitamin D were associated with improved health outcomes of both mother and newborn, including risk of preterm birth (<37 weeks gestation). How that risk was associated with ...

600 seven day-old ross broiler chicks were tested in a factorial experiment (2×5) with two levels of oil (three and six percent) and five levels of soybean oil and soapstock (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100) with four replicates. rations were isocaloric and isonitrogenus. the chicks of the rations with three percent fat had higher weight gain and lower feed intake and feed: gain ratio (p

Polysaccharide-polysaccharide interactions are attractive in the food, polymer and pharmaceutical systems because they may impart novel or improved functional properties to products and reduce costs. In this work, the rheological interaction of sage seed gum (SSG) as a novel hydrocolloid with xanthan gum (XG) was studied in the dilute region. The intrinsic viscosity of the XG-SSG mixture at fiv...

The aim of this work was to establish the maximum stability conditions maltodextrins and corn syrups obtained by spray drying with different levels starch hydrolysis as dextrose equivalent (DE) 10, 20, 30 40 from a thermodynamic study sorption at 25, 35 40°C. These storage were correlated hygroscopicity, glass transition temperature (Tg) external morphology these powders minimize physical pheno...

The effect of soil moisture on penetration, development, and reproduction of Heterodera cajani on pigeonpea (cv. ICPL 87) was investigated in growth chambers held at 20 and 25 C, and in a greenhouse where temperature fluctuated between 25 and 32 C. Averaged across temperatures, the percentage of juveniles that penetrated roots was 34.3, 31.8, 8.8, and 3.7% at 24, 32, 16, and 40% soil moisture l...
