Lunasin is a peptide derived from the soybean 2S albumin seed protein that has both anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. Large-scale animal studies and human clinical trials to determine the efficacy of lunasin in vivo have been hampered by the cost of synthetic lunasin and the lack of a method for obtaining gram quantities of highly purified lunasin from plant sources. The goal of this...

The interaction of dietary protein type and fat level on the body fat-reducing activity of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) was studied in male rats fed diets containing casein (CAS) or soy protein (SOY) as a protein source with low fat (LF, 6.0% soybean oil) or high fat (HF, 13.0% soybean oil) combinations for 4 weeks. CLA was added at the 1.0% level to all diets. The weight of perirenal adipose...

Celiac Disease is a chronic entheropathy produced by gluten intolerance, more precisely to certain proteins called prolamines, which causes atrophy of intestinal villi, malabsorption and clinical symptoms that can appear in both childhood and adulthood. This pathogeny, results from the interaction of genetic, immunologic and environmental factors, which produce the lesions on the mucosa of the ...

Full fat flaxseed flour was supplemented with wheat flour @ 5, 10, 15, 20,25 and 30%. Cookies were prepared from composite flours. Cookies prepared without flaxseed flour were kept as control. The mean quality score of the cookies decreased with the increase in the level of the flaxseed flour supplementation. Colour and crispiness of the cookies showed a declining trend as compared to flavour a...

Chronic consumption of high-fat or -carbohydrate diets is associated with the development of obesity; however, it is not well established whether dietary protein plays a role in the development of abnormalities of lipid metabolism that occur during obesity. To determine the effect of different types of protein during diet-induced obesity on hepatic and adipocyte lipid metabolism, rats were fed ...

background: to examine the effects of soy [in the form of textured soy protein (tsp) and soy-nut] on body composition in elderly women with metabolic syndrome (mets). methods: a 12-week randomized clinical trial was conducted on 75 women between 60-70 years of age with mets in rural health clinics around babol, iran in 2009. the participants were randomly assigned to one of the three groups of ...

the effects of dough fortification with different amounts of gluten and full fat soya flour on the quality of spaghetti were investigated. rheological properties of dough, quality and sensory characteristics of spaghetti with different amounts of gluten (8 to 14%) and full fat soya flour (0 to 20%) were evaluated. fortification caused improvement in some characteristics such as dough stability ...

Methods We investigated 3 groups of patients for identifying the food hypersensitivity. 1. Group 60 patients with symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) without a diagnosis of organic gastrointestinal disease. 2. Group 19 patients with atopic dermatitis, polysenzitization to inhalant, not to food allergens. 3. Group 6 infants (3-12 months old) with intestinal symptoms (bloody stool and abdo...

Accepted: 29/09/2014 Abstract The objective of this work was to investigate the chemical composition, pasting properties and selected functional properties of chickpea and dried green pea flour. The proximate analysis showed that there was a non significant difference in chickpea flour and dried green pea flour composition, except that of crude fat and fiber. The crude fat of chickpea flour sho...
