The current study aimed to evaluate the variation in fermentation activity along the distal canine gastrointestinal tract (GIT, Exp. 1). It also aimed to assess fermentation kinetics and end product profiles of 16 dietary fibers for dog foods using canine fecal inoculum (Exp. 2). For Exp. 1, digesta were collected from the distal ileum, proximal colon, transverse colon, and rectum of 3 adult do...

Physico-chemical properties of dietary fibres might be involved in metabolic control, particularly of the postprandial blood glucose response. The aim of the present study was to look at the effects of the content of soluble fibres and of the particle size of solid fibres on in vitro and in vivo starch hydrolysis and on the subsequent glucose absorption as well as the triacylglycerolaemia. Two ...

The self-adhesive potential of nanocellulose from aqueous cellulosic suspensions is of interest with regard to a potential replacement of synthetic adhesives. In order to evaluate the performance of microfibrillated cellulose from different (ligno-)cellulosic raw materials for this purpose, softwood and hardwood powder were fibrillated and compared to sugar beet pulp as a representative non-woo...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the physical characteristics, chemical composition and protein fractions of sugar beet pulp produced in iran and comparing them with the tabular values of cornell net carbohydrate and protein system. a total of 39 samples of 13 different sugar factories were sampled from iran-wide. particle size distributions of samples were determined using the penn state ...

BACKGROUND The filamentous fungus Penicillium purpurogenum grows on a variety of natural carbon sources, such as sugar beet pulp, and secretes to the medium a large number of enzymes that degrade the carbohydrate components of lignocellulose. Sugar beet pulp is rich in pectin, and the purpose of this work is to identify novel esterases produced by the fungus, which may participate in pectin deg...

pectin is used as gelatinizing agent in food industry. in this study pectin was extracted from five commercial sugar beet varieties namely: doroty, rasul, 7112, br1 and ic using pre-hydrolysis technique. experiments were conducted using factorial design to verify the effect of temperature, time, percentage of hcl and water requirements on the extraction rate of pectin. the qualitative factors o...

The experiment was carried out in 1999-2001 at the University of Agriculture in Krakow (Poland) to study the capacity of nine crops (red beet, field pumpkin, chicory, bean, barley, white cabbage, maize, alfalfa, and parsnip) to remove cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) from different soil horizons (0-20, 20-40, 40-60 cm). The content of exchangeable Cd, Pb, and Zn decreased along with the de...

Sugar beet pulp is an abundant industrial waste material that holds a great potential for bioethanol production owing to its high content of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectin. Its structural and chemical robustness limits the yield of fermentable sugars obtained by hydrolyzation and represents the main bottleneck for bioethanol production. Physical (ultrasound and thermal) pretreatment meth...

Pectins isolated from sugar beet pulp by autoclaving contained significant amounts of ferulates, 8.8% of which were ferulate dehydrodimers. The 8-8 and 8-0-4 dehydrodimers were predominant. Oxidative cross-linking with hydrogen peroxide/peroxidase lowered the amount of ferulic acid by 78%, while an increase in ferulate dehydrodimers by a factor of 4.9 was observed. The highest increase was seen...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different sources of natural pigments on yolk color and laying hen performance. A completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates was used.The six experimental treatments were: a control diet containing yellow corn grain, a reference diet containing wheat and barley grain instead of corn; a red pepper diet composed of refe...
