background: seaweeds contain significant quantities of lipids, protein, vitamins and minerals. aquavac ergosan contains 1% alginic acid extracted from two brown seaweeds, laminaria digitata and ascophyllum nodosum. both in vivo and in-vitro researches have mainly been focused on the effect of ergosan on fish growth, survival rate, reproductive performance and innate immunity in blood and epider...

In this study, the physical-chemical characteristics and proximate composition of the meat of of two strains of broilers (Paraíso Pedrês and Máster gris plumé – Super Pesadão, utilized for semi-intensive rearing) and Cobb strain, utilized in intensive rearing systems) were evaluated. Differences related to strain and sex (males and females) were studied. Cobb broilers were slaughtered at 45 day...

brachystegia eurycoma is predominantly grown in the eastern region of nigeria. its seed is used in food majorly as a soup condiment, flavouring agent and soup thickener. the proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions were determined on raw and processed seeds (boiled, fermented and roasted) using standard analytical techniques. the processing methods showed deviations in nutrients from the ...

The flower pigment of Calliandria suninamensis is used folklorically as a colorant and a dye. The crude powdered sample and methanolic extract of the plant were subjected to phytochemical, proximate analysis and antioxidant activities. Parameters like moisture content, ash values and extractive values were determined. The methanolic extract was evaluated for its antioxidant/free radical scaveng...

This paper presents an innovative solution for estimating the proximate parameters of coal beds from the well-logs. To implement the solution, the C# programming language was used. The data from four exploratory boreholes was used in a case study to express the method and determine its accuracy. Then two boreholes were selected as the reference, namely the boreholes with available well-logging ...

agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis are among most favorite mushrooms of the world. mineral contents, proximate composition and fatty acid profile of these mushrooms were determined for evaluation of their dietary value. na, k and li contents were high, while cr, cu, pb, co, zn, mn and ni concentrations were low in both agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis. proximate analysis showed th...

Accepted: 24/12/2014 Abstract A study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of Indian jujube pulp on the quality attributes of chicken sausages incorporated at 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% level (replacing lean meat) into the formulation of chicken sausages. The proximate, physico-chemical and sensory properties of sausages were analyzed. Among the different proximate and physicochemical parameters, a s...
