Supplementation of pasta with different protein sources (legumes, milk proteins, egg protein) was done. Cooking and sensory quality of pasta was assessed. Statistically, a nonsignificant variation (P  0.05) was observed in the minimum cooking time of resultant pasta but significant correlations (r=0.95) was obtained between the volume expansion and the percent water absorption of supplemented ...

--This paper presents the lipid, nonlipid dry matter, and water contents of the eggs of the Starling, Coturnix Quail, Mourning Dove, Laughing Gull, and Mallard and compares the data with published accounts of the eggs of other species. The lipid level of the yolk and the percentage of yolk in the egg increase in direct relation to the precocity of the young at hatching. The high lil•id content ...

The objective of this experiment was to replace soya bean oil with glycerol in laying hen diets and assess the change's effect on performance, parameters of egg quality and the egg fatty acid profile. A total of 60 44-week-old Hy-Line W36 laying hens were distributed according to a completely randomised experimental design into four treatments consisting of glycerol substitutions for soya bean ...

the subgroup j of alv (alv-j) has emerged as an important pathogen of meat-type chickens since1989. this virus is responsible for economic losses due to both mortality and depressed performance inchickens. so, the objective of this study is the detection of alv-j in the albumen of commercial and nativefowl eggs using rt-pcr. three hundred and seventy egg albumens were randomly selected from dif...

Eggs were collected from a single inline processing facility weekly for 3 wk (replicates). The eggs were stored at 4 degrees C and 80% RH. Sampling began the day after collection and continued each week for 10 wk. During analysis, 24 eggs were examined for egg weight, albumen height, Haugh units (HU), shell strength, and vitelline membrane strength for each replicate. Egg weight decreased (P < ...

The effect of a dietary supplementation of gallic acid and linoleic acid mixture (MGL) and their synthetic salt, sodium 2,3-dihydroxy-5-(((9E,12E)-octadeca-9,12-dienyloxy)carbonyl)phenolate (NGL), on egg quality was investigated. A total of 120 laying hens were allotted into five groups over 4weeks of the experimental period. Birds were fed the following diets: (1) control [commercial diet (CD)...
