Ruminants eat a variety of foods from different locations in the environment. While water, cover, social interactions, and predators are all likely to influence choice of foraging location, differences in macronutrient content among forages may also cause ruminants to forage in different locations even during a meal. We hypothesized that lambs forage at locations containing foods that complemen...

Grape processing residues are a good source of bioactive and nutritional compounds. The incorporation grape pomace extract (GPE) in starch films can be strategy for the elaboration new food packaging products applications such as edible or fruit strips. In this context, objective research was to analyze effect variation concentration GPE (0, 20, 30, 40% mass/mass solids) on physical chemical pr...

The performance of ruminants is affected mainly by the rumen bacterial community. composition and properties community depend largely on diet components that are fed to ruminant. aim this study was determine effect grape pomace intake sheep. Four different diets, two which contained dried (DGP), were used in study. Rumen fluid samples from 12 wethers for 16S rRNA gene sequencing subsequent iden...

An extract of polyphenols was obtained from organic red grape pomace, chemically analyzed, and used for functionalization two bioactive glasses porous hydroxyapatite. Functionalization is effective on hydroxyapatite the glass with higher surface reactivity a different grafting mechanism. Grafting does not inhibit redox radical scavenging activity polyphenols. The grafted make continuous layer a...

We hypothesized that lambs discriminate the postingestive effects of P and associate those effects with feed flavor to modify feed choices. Three predictions were tested based on this hypothesis: 1) lambs will modify preference for arbitrary flavors eaten during intraruminal infusions of NaH2PO4, 2) changes in preferences are more specific than changes in osmotic load induced by salts of Na; an...

Grape pomace is one of the main by-products in wine industry and contains some high-added-value compounds, such as polysaccharides. Considering wide application possibilities polysaccharides food industry, revalorization grape to extract presents itself an opportunity for by-product management. Therefore, aim this study was characterize polysaccharide extracts obtained from different white vari...

Obesity occurs when a person's calorie intake exceeds the amount of energy burns, which may lead to pathologic growth of adipocytes and the accumulation of fat in the tissues. In this study, the effect and mechanism of pear pomace extracts on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and apoptosis of mature adipocytes were investigated. The effects of pear pomace extract on cell viability and the anti-a...

Laccase activity of Pleurotus ostreatus is significantly increased by the addition of apple pomace. Among various conditions, the best concentration of apple pomace and cultivation time for the production of laccase by P. ostreatus was 2.5% and 9 days, respectively. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analyses of laccase isoenzyme genes, including pox1, pox3, pox4, poxc, poxa3, and ...
