We designed a chicken-meat hamburger enriched with ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cooked by sous-vide. The chicken meat used came from male BB chickens of the Cobb commercial line, fed for approximately 27 days 3 isoprotein isoenergetic diets based on: corn soy; soybeans plus flax oil fish oil. hamburgers, made mixture fresh skinless breast thigh meat, oat bran mix spices, were vacuum-pack...

A generalized deficiency in the mitochondrial enzyme, ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), is present in the hereditary blinding disease, gyrate atrophy (GA). Because the OAT gene is a multi-gene family, and the native OAT enzyme is an oligomer, it would be important to identify the gene locus actually responsible for the OAT activity and affected in GA. A mammalian expression clone containing a p...

Several important natural compounds, nutraceuticals–including vitamin E (tocotrienols, tocopherols) and oryzanols–have been shown to have important health benefits and are found in rice bran. This study was conducted to provide information regarding levels of these nutraceuticals within the rice kernel based on bran collected from successive milling but also to determine the level of nutraceuti...

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue maintains mucosal homeostasis by combating pathogens and inducing a state of hyporesponsiveness to food antigens and commensal bacteria. Dietary modulation of the intestinal immune environment represents a novel approach for enhancing protective responses against pathogens and inflammatory diseases. Dietary rice bran consists of bioactive components with disease-f...

A mixture of wheat bran with maize bran as a carbon source and addition of (NH(4))SO(4) as nitrogen source was found to significantly increase production of feruloyl esterase (FAE) enzyme compared with wheat bran as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. The optimal conditions in conical flasks were carbon source (30 g) to water 1 : 1, maize bran to wheat bran 1 : 2, (NH(4))SO(4) 1.2 g and MgSO(4) ...

Aquaculture needs to provide live food such as Artemia and one of the most important issues in A. franciscana rearing, is a food supply. The instar I nauplii were fed in seven treatments including Wheat bran, Rice bran, Soy-meal and algae (Dunaliella salina). For each treatment calculated growth rate, survival percentage, and body composition. At the reproductive period, 35 pairs were individua...

BACKGROUND The cholesterol-lowering abilities of rice bran's fiber and oil apart from its fatty acid composition remain unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the effects of defatted rice bran and rice bran oil in an average American diet on blood lipids in moderately hypercholesterolemic persons. DESIGN Study 1 used a parallel-arm design. Twenty-six healthy volunteers ...
