Young female rats fed semipurified diets containing casein or a soy protein isolate had extensive nephrocalcinosis at the junction between the outer and inner stripe of the outer medullary zone after 5 wk on the diets, whereas rats fed a diet containing a lactalbumin concentrate did not. Although the percentages of actual protein and of total ash were similar in all three diets, the concentrati...

possibility of replacing whole soy flour for chocolate fat in chocolate production and its impact on textural, rheological and sensory properties of low fat chocolate was explored. for doing this, whole soy flour in 5 levels (0, 2,4,6,8 percent) and two refining times (105 and 135 minutes) was employed. results indicated that longer refining time gave rise to reduction in particles size and inc...

BACKGROUND The mechanisms of particulate matter (PM)-induced health effects are believed to involve inflammation and oxidative stress. Increased intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) appears to have anti-inflammatory effects. OBJECTIVE As part of a trial to evaluate whether n-3 PUFA supplementation could protect against the cardiac alterations linked to PM exposure, we meas...

Pancreatic hypertrophy that occurs in rats fed raw soy flour containing about 1200 mg tripsin inhibitor (Tn/lOO g diet was reversed by switciti.ng the rats to control diets or to diets containing 30% toasted defatted soy l1our. No panCTeatic hypertrophy occurs in rats fed commercial, edible gr:!de soy 11 ours, concentrate or isolate from time of weaning to adulthood (ca. 300 days). Tl content o...

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of adding vitamins E and C to diets containing 3.5% refined soy oil (SO), recycled soy oil (RSO), or acidulated soy oil soapstocks (ASS) on 1) fatty acid (FA) profile, and cholesterol, triglyceride (TG) and α-tocopherol (α-T) concentrations of yolk, and 2) the oxidation status of serum and yolk. Twelve dietary treatments, using 3 oil sources,...

. Egg and soy lecithins are commonly used in the food industry as emulsi®ers (E322). The possibility of residual proteins leads to suspicion of their role in allergic manifestations in subjects allergic to egg or soy. Two cases are reported in which the double-blind, placebo-controlled oral challenge (DBPCOC), the ``gold standard'' of diagnosis, led to con®rmation that lecithin had caused lesio...

We have come up with a novel, integrated approach for making biodiesel by in-house producion of ethanol after fermentation of hexane extracted edible oil cake fiber. In addition, we have demonstrated how ethanol could be manufactured from commonly available oil cakes (such as canola, sunflower, sesame, soy, peanut) and dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS). The edible oil cakes and DDGS...

Delta 6-desaturase actiyity and fatty acid composition of liyer microsomes were measured periodically in rats fed diets high in oc-linolenic acid (perilla oil) containing either casei" (CAS) or soybean protein (SOY) as a protein source. Delta 6-desaturase activity measured by using li"oleic'acid as a substrate (18:2n-6.18:3n-6) and the linoleic acid desaturation index as estimated by the (20:3+...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.)] is in use for more than 5000 years in China and South East Asia as food. Epidemiological studies show its importance in prevention of several diseases. Recently, an upsurge of consumer interest in the health benefits of soybean and soy products is not only due to its high protein (38%) and high oil (18%) content, but also due to the presence of physiologically benefic...
