Several oilseed and legume protein products were fed to rats as the sole source of dietary protein, and in blends with cereals for the determination of protein efficiency ratio (PER) and biological availability of amino acids. In addition oilseed protein isolates were fed to mice for the determination of PER. Results of the mouse study revealed that the adjusted PER (casein = 100)for Target rap...

This research evaluated the use fenugreek seed flour (3,6,9 and 12%)as antioxidant and antimicrobial agent in manufacture of beef burgers instead of soybean flour (SF). with emphasis on frozen storage stability for most important quality criteria of beef burger. The incorporation of fenugreek seed flour into beef burger patties instead of soybean flour improving the content of essential amino a...

in order to evaluate eight different protein sources in honey bee nutrition, some experiments were conducted as a completely randomized designs with four replicates and three steps incubator, field and overwintering in isfahan region. protein sources were lentil flour, soybean flour, soybean meal, bread yeast, wheat gluten, skim milk powder, fish meal and pollen. results showed that the longevi...

Soybean milk serves as a base for a variety of beverages designed for consumption in developing countries. Soybean flour contains raffinose and stachyose considered to be responsible for flatulence often associated with these products (J.J. Rackis, D.H. Honig, D.J. Sessa, and F.R. Steggerda, 1970). alpha-Galactosidase, produced on wheat bran, hydrolyzes the galactooligosaccharides of soybean milk.

Effect of texturized defatted meal of sunflower, soybean and flaxseed on quality characteristics of chapatti was investigated. Texturized defatted meal of sunflower, soybean and flaxseed was blended at 10%. 20%, 30% and 40% levels with wheat flour (atta) for making chapatti making. Chapattis were evaluated for physical, textural, sensory and functional properties. Proximate analysis of defatted...

The physicochemical and sensory properties of peanut spreads fortified with soy flour were studied. Peanut spreads were replaced by whole soybean flour and soy nut flour at 0, 5, 15, 20 and 30% (w/w). All samples were analyzed for fat, protein, sugar, moisture content, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, hardness and sensory characteristics. Replacing peanut spread with soy flour had significant effect...

A review of studies conducted on applicationofflours or concen­ tratesfrom &.,oundnut, cowpea, and soybean to improve nutritional charac­ teristics of wheat-based bread and cookies, sorghum-baseduji, and sorghwn­ based kisra are presented.Acceptable cookies were made from compovites containing50%wheat, 35% gr'-undnut,and15% cowpeaflours.At this level of fortification, the protein content was 15...

The authors reviewed the growth-promoting and carcinogenic effects of raw soya flour in rats and found that if raw soya flour-containing diets are fed for more than one year, almost 10% of animals develop pancreatic cancer. In addition, by eating raw soya flour they markedly potentiate the action of subthreshold amounts of pancreatic carcinogens. Therefore, they consider the raw soya flour a po...

The mutant strain Trichoderma reesei WX-112 with high cellulase activity was isolated by a newly invented plate. The mutant’s ability to produce cellulase increased 1.95 times after the treatment with UV and N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Also, the medium composition was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). A fractional factorial design (2) was applied to elucidate ...
