The proximate and phytochemical composition of the Fruits of Solanum indicum was investigated. The proximate composition includes crude fibre (8% wet weight), total carbohydrate (40.67% wet weight), crude protein (23.47% wet weight), total ash (22.66% wet weight), crude fat (5.26% wet weight) and caloric value of (303.9 wet weight). The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids...

This study presents the proximate and mineral composition of Peperomia pellucida L., an underexploited weed plant in Malaysia. Proximate analysis was performed using standard AOAC methods and mineral contents were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry. The results indicated Peperomia pellucida to be rich in crude protein, carbohydrate and total ash contents. The high amount of total a...

A feeding trial which lasted for eight weeks was conducted to investigate the effects of diludine such as growth promoter on feed efficiency, muscle structure and proximate composition of juvenile rainbow trout. Diludine was added at 0.0(D0) 0.2(D1), 0.5(D2) and 1(D3) g kg-1 to a casein-based diet, and every diet was given to the triplicated groups of juvenile rainbow trout. At the end of exper...

The study was conducted to study the effect of age viz., young (6-9 months) and adult (2 years) on physico-chemical characteristics, proximate composition, amino acid, fatty acid and cholesterol content of Kodiadu goat meat. The Longissimus dorsi muscle was collected from these animals and the physico-chemical characteristics viz., pH, water holding capacity, instrumental colour, muscle fi bre ...

in this study, quality characteristics of incorporated burgers containing 25, 50, 75 and 100 common carp (cyprinus carpio) surimi was evaluated. accordingly, proximate composition, texture profile analysis (tpa), color, water holding capacity (whc) and sensory attributes of resulted burgers were determined. based on data, burgers containing surimi showed lower amount of protein, fat and ash com...

The main objective of the current study was to analyze the proximate composition and the amino acid profile of the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus). Forty-eight fish (with an initial weight of 96.60   7.45 g) were randomly sampled from a local sturgeon farm in Mazandaran, Iran. The proximate analysis of the fish body showed 24.38 ± 1.62 g/100g ww of dry matter, 61.52 ± 1.65 g/100g dw of cr...
