intercropping is considered as a method for increasing yield per unit and stability. in order to evaluate the effects of phosphorous biofertilizer and chemical phosphorous on fodder quality of corn (zea mays l.) and grass pea (lathyrus sativa l.) intercropping, two field experiments were conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at two places simult...

Elastic fibers consist of two morphologically distinct components: elastin and 10-nm fibrillin-containing microfibrils. During development, the microfibrils form bundles that appear to act as a scaffold for the deposition, orientation, and assembly of tropoelastin monomers into an insoluble elastic fiber. Although microfibrils can assemble independent of elastin, tropoelastin monomers do not as...

Treating ruminant feeds with exogenous fibrolytic enzymes may potentially increase forage cell wall degradability and thus feed efficiency. In nature, fungi biosynthesize lignocellulolytic that can break down lignocellulosic material into its sugar components, thereby providing ready fermentable substrates. This work showed the in vitro activity of three Trichoderma strains (T. atroviride strai...

Extensive gastric surgery is known to cause bone disorders (osteomalacia/osteoporosis)7,9 possibly related to an impaired capacity for the absorption of dietary calcium1,5. The absence of gastric acid after gastric resection may impair bioavailability of insoluble dietary calcium because gastric acid is the most important factor for solubilization of otherwise insoluble calcium salts5. The stom...

22 This study was performed to determine the effects of feeding a fiber-rich fraction of 23 Brassica vegetables on immune response through changes in enteric bacteria and short 24 chain fatty acid (SCFA) production in normal mice. The boiled water-insoluble fraction 25 of Brassica rapa L. (nozawana), which consisted mainly of dietary fiber, was chosen as 26 a test material. A total of 31 male C...

To study the effect of pH on dietary fiber components of vegetables, beans, cauliflower, potatoes, peas and corn were cooked in buffers of pH 2, 4, 6, and 10. Water-soluble pectin and hemicellulose, water-insoluble pectin and hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin were quantitated in raw, cooked vegetables and cooking medium. Tenderness and pH of raw and cooked vegetables were determined. Texture ...

Instant controlled pressure drop (DIC) has been used as a pre-treatment to increase extractable polyphenols (EPP), mainly attributed matrix structure expansion. This work aimed evaluate the effect of DIC on non-extractable (NEPP), EPP, and dietary fiber grape pomace. At 0.2 MPa–60 s was observe an total EPP anthocyanins. Despite increment lowest anthocyanins proanthocyanidins content at 0.4 MPa...

The boiled-water-insoluble fraction of Brassica rapa L. (nozawana), which consists mainly of dietary fiber, was chosen as a test material. A total of 31 male C57BL/6J mice...
