In this study, the hematological and growth performance of beluga (Huso huso) fed with herbal supplemented diet were studied. Dietary treatments were control (normal diet), 1 g garlic(Allium sativum)and 1 g nettle (Urticadioica) per 100g feed for 60 days. No significant difference was observed in growth performance between the groups(P>0.05). MCV increased significantly in nettle group c...

Wheat flour replacement from 22.5% up to 45% by incorporation of ternary blends of teff (T), green pea (GP) and buckwheat (BW) flours provided technologically viable and acceptable sensory rated multigrain breads with superior nutritional value compared to the 100% wheat flour (WT) counterparts. Blended breads exhibited superior nutritional composition, larger amounts of bioaccessible polypheno...

The influence of 0-27 g/100g of full-fat soy flour (FFSF), 31-35g/100g of water content and extrusion conditions on the textural characteristics of spaghetti were evaluated. Process was performed with screw speed of 10-40 rpm and water circulating temperature of 35-70. This enrichment resulted in significant differences in mechanical strength and cutting parameter. Based on the mixture surface ...

One drop of cod liver oil per day per animal was also administered. A vitamin mixture consisting of 1mg of thia mine hydrochloride, 0.4mg of ribo flavin, 0.1mg of pyridoxine hydro chloride, 3mg of calcium pantothen ate,...

This study was aimed to determine total polyphenols (TP), flavonoids (TF), chlorogenic acid (CA), antioxidant capacity (AC) and in-vitro bioaccessibility of (as gastric intestinal stages) the extracts from artichoke fractions (head, bract stalk) using different solvents (80% ethanol, 80% methanol water). The results showed that fraction solvent used significantly affected all parameters measure...

Several cases of Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are seen in our working environment and this condition can have substantial impact on fetal growth, birth weight and morbidity. Standard recommendations for GDM testing prescribe the use of either a 3-hour, 100g glucose load (100g) or a 2-hour 75g glucose load (75g). We investigated the comparability of the 75g and the 100g tests in the diagn...

Phytochemical, nutritional and anti-bacterial properties of the dried leaf powder of Moringa oleifera used as food supplement, or source of vegetable in soup preparation were investigated in this study. The phytochemicals identified in the leaf powder included tannis, saponins, alkaloids, phenols flavonoids and glycosides. The nutritional investigations revealed the presence of carbohydrates (2...

Fresh leaves of Boerhaavia diffusa and Andrographis paniculata were evaluated for nutritional and anti-nutritional compositions. The results showed that both plant leaves contained saponins, alkaloids and flavonoids. The proximate analysis and vitamin C of B. diffusa and A. paniculata included moisture (76.04% and 73.02%), carbohydrate (17.14% and 12.16%) and vitamin C (40.00 and 45.01mg/100g),...
