Quality protein maize (QPM) based composite flour for nutritionally vulnerable groups was developed using QPM, soybean and orange fleshed sweet potatoes (Caceapedo variety). Single flours of QPM was prepared by soaking the grains into cold water at ambient temperature for 24 hours, drained and then milled into flour using a conventional milling machine. Soybean flour was prepared by roasting th...

The nutritional value of raw and autoclaved grain amaranth, its milling fractions (perisperm and bran), fat-free flour, and of popped amaranth was evaluated for growing chickens. The control diet, which was composed primarily of corn and soybean meal, contained 3.06 kcal apparent ME (AME)/g and 23.6% CP. Test diets contained about the same AME and CP levels, and the following levels of the test...

The growing worldwide prevalence of food allergies is drawing attention to the risk of allergenic proteins found in intravenous medicinal products, particularly anaesthetics. Propofol induced anaphylaxis has been described. The presence of soybean oil and egg lecithins in the lipid emulsion highlights their suspected responsibility in certain cases. We report a case of anaphylaxis to propofol i...

The development of local and systemic immune responses to soybean proteins was investigated in early-weaned pigs. Pigs were given either antigenic (ASP, n = 10 pigs) or non-antigenic (NASP, n = 8 pigs) soybean products (6 g of protein/d) from d 5 to 9 of age by stomach tube. After weaning at d 21, pigs were fed diets containing the corresponding soybean products and slaughtered between d 28 to ...

The present work examines leaching of lipoxygenase-1 from soybean flour employing stirred tank vessel. The effect of operating parameters, impellers speed, operational period, temperature, pH and scale-up were considered.The acetic acid pH: 5.2 increased the leaching of lipoxygenase- 1.The sensitivity of agitator speed and geometrical-scale-up on the enzymeleaching has bee...

Ayam Kampung Unggul Balitnak (KUB) is the result of selecting native Indonesian kampong chicken strains for six generations that have advantages in terms maintenance due to level feed consumption less. The aim this research was effect soybean flour on performances Superior Kampong Chicken (KUB). This study used a completely Randomised Design consisting 5 treatments and 4 replicates. consisted T...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of soybean varieties on content of anti-nutritional factors, growth, and nutrient digestibility in rat. For this purpose, the content of trypsin inhibitor and lectin was firstly measured in five soybean varieties. Then sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups and fed on different diets as follows: groups 1 to 5 were fe...

 Study Design: The was design using D-optimal combination Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
 Place Duration Study: carried out at Department Food, Nutrition Home Science, University Port Harcourt (Processing raw materials) Food Technology, ...

The burden of micronutrient malnutrition is very high in India. Food fortification is one of the most cost-effective and sustainable strategies to deliver micronutrients to large population groups. Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is supporting large-scale, voluntary, staple food fortification in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh because of the high burden of malnutrition, availability ...
