The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of barley malt extract and barley malt vinegar on growth performance, jejunal morphology and meat quality of broilers. A total of 600 day-old chicks were allocated to four dietary treatments to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of 0.2% barley malt extract alone or along with 0.4 or 0.8% of malt vinegar as ...

Selection for oat cultivars with lower lipase activity may be important for other purposes. Lipase may have Oat (Avena sativa L.) is a potentially economically viable source a role in the initiation of oxidative rancidity by some of lipase, an enzyme used in foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, which occurs on the surface of oat caryopses (groats). The objectives lipoxygenases that cause off-...

To show the role of MalT protein in the regulation of mal genes, encoding proteins involved in transport and metabolism of maltose/ maltodextrins in Yersinia enterocolitica, we constructed a malT mutant which was characterized by a strong reduction in maltose transport and a loss of MBP protein. We also studied the influence of MalT activity on the production of Yop proteins in Y. enterocolitic...

MALT can develop in nearly every organ as a result of chronic infection or an autoimmune process. If there is prolonged lymphoid proliferation, a malignant clone can emerge and a MALT lymphoma could follow. Certain infections have been associated with MALT lymphomas: There is H. pylori infection in 85-90% of gastric MALT lymphomas. [1] Chlamydophila psittaci has been identified as a possible ca...

Mycelial growth rates are presented for 11 strains of Lentinula edodes and six strains of Lentinula boryana cultivated on solid media: derived from malt extract (MEA); malt yeast extract (YMEA); and, YMEA plus soluble lignin derivatives (YMEA+WSLD). The results were compared with data for mycelial growth rates, of the same strains cultivated on substrates derived from wheat straw treated at dif...

The Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, which was first described in 1983, is known to be caused by chronic Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, which triggers lymphoid infiltration and formation of organized lymphoid tissue. In approximately two thirds of cases of MALT, the lymphoma has been observed to regress after treatment of H. pylori infection; this provides strong evidence...

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is an extranodal low-grade B-cell lymphoma. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma is considered to originate from bronchial MALT and is also referred to as bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma is a rare disease, but it is the most frequent subset of primary pulmonary lymphoma. The median age at diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lym...

Malt and its derivative products are of particular concern and beer represents (along with fried bacon and tobacco) the major source of ingested nitrosamines in humans. Historically, malt was roasted over open fires and the nitrogen oxide gases in the smoke would react with amines in the malt to form nitrosamines. Modern malt production uses indirect fire roasting and the levels of nitrosamines...

BACKGROUND Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is among the most common forms of extranodal lymphomas, but little is known about subcutaneous involvement in patients with non-primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphomas. DESIGN AND METHODS Patients with MALT lymphoma diagnosed and treated at our institution between 1999 and 2010 were analyzed for subcutaneous deposits from MALT lym...
