Diets for elderly must contain nutritious foods, fit their physiological limitations, and match with their food culture. Cereals and legumes are suggested food choices regardless of their cultures and beliefs. Ready-to-eat products containing suitable macronutrient patterns from cereals and legumes were developed. Energy distributions from carbohydrate (60 kcal/100 kcal), protein (15 kcal/100 k...

An experiment was carried out to determine the ileal digestibility values of NDF, CP, and AA associated with NDF in different samples of wheat shorts consisting of different proportions of wheat bran, shorts, and flour, hereafter referred to as wheat fractions. Six barrows (average initial BW 37.2 kg, and fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum) were fed one of six experimental diets...

Soybean flour and wheat germ are the two most important protein components of wheat germ-based insect artificial diets. The effect of modifying the proportion of these two ingredients in a Noctuidae-specific diet was investigated utilizing the tobacco budworm Heliothis virescens (F.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), with the goal of developing a suboptimal diet that, without drastically affecting this...

Using the substrate N-acetyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid, we determined chymotrypsin activity in the small intestine of calf, pig, and poultry. Orally administered N-acetyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid is enzymatically cleaved in vivo, and the released p-aminobenzoic acid is determined by HPLC. We found that the p-aminobenzoic acid concentration in plasma and urine was significantly influenc...

The plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial strain Pseudomonas putida Rs-198 was isolated from salinized soils from Xinjiang Province. We optimized the composition of the low-cost medium of P. putida Rs-198 based on its bacterial concentration, as well as its phosphate-dissolving and indole acetic acid (IAA)-producing capabilities using the response surface methodology (RSM), and a mathematical m...

The continued development and increasing demand of the fast-growing market for meat alternatives will provide sufficient possibilities food scientists entrepreneurs to develop new technologies. texture-related sensory qualities analogues are focus product applied research. In this study, freezing process was used control fibrous structure (i.e., anisotropic layered porous structure) rheological...

<strong>Training on Utilization of Soybean Husk into Biscuits to Improve Skills Tempeh Craftsmen Parerejo Village, Pasuruan.</strong> husk from tempeh processing waste has the potential be developed because protein content (17.98%), crude fiber (24.84%), and energy (2898 kcal/kg) were quite high but have not been utilized optimally. This activity aimed provide knowledge soybean husk...

Protein is the major component for shrimp feeds and must be nutritionally appropriate and readily digestible. In vitro protein digestibility of feeds and feed ingredients, and their inhibitory effect on the digestive proteases of juvenile Farfantepenaeus paulensis were examined. The analysis included animal (four types of fish meal, meat meal and blood meal) and plant (soybean meal and wheat fl...

Biogenic amines (BAs) are known as toxic substances and formed in foods as a result of microbial action during fermentation and storage (Shalaby, 1996; Santos, 1996). BAs could cause diseases with food poisoning symptoms such as stimulating the nerves and blood vessels in man and animals (Joosten, 1988). The most important BAs found in foods are putrescine, cadaverine, β-phenylethylamine, tyram...

Serine inhibitors have been described in many plant species and are universal throughout the plant kingdom. Trypsin inhibitors are the most common type. In the present study, trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitory activity was detected in the seed flour extracts of four Egyptian varieties of soybean (Glycine max). The soybean variety, Giza 22, was found to have higher trypsin and chymotrypsin inhi...
