acid-binding capacity (abc) of a feed is the amount of acid required to reduce the ph of feed to a special level such as 3. all poultry feed ingredients used in this study were collected from feed mills in iran. the ph and abc were determined using the standard methods in deionized and magnetized water at room and body temperatures. the ph of most feed ingredients was raised in magnetized water...

dietary flavonoids show beneficial effects in the prevention of chronic diseases. however, flavonoid bioavailability is poor, probably due to their interaction with serum albumins. in the current work, the binding interactions of eight related flavonoids, sharing a similar core structure, with bovine serum albumin (bsa) were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. the binding affinities of t...

background:the dynamic binding capacity (dbc) of a chromatography matrix in protein purification is the amount of the total protein absorbed into the matrix, before occurrence of a significant break in the breakthrough curve. optimization of the process criteria for maximum dbc avoids extra process scale-up and reduces the processing time, costs and protein loss. taguchi method is a simple usef...

background: it is clear that helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a spiral bacterium that infects human and causes gastritis and peptic ulcer. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between h .pylori infection and the iron status of the body. methods: this study was conducted in shahid beheshti hospital of babol university of medical sciences, babol, iran from august 2007 to july...

this study was carried out to determination of in vitro binding capacity of organic (wheat and barley) and inorganic (perlite) sources for mn, zn, cu, and fe. for this reason wheat and barley were analyzed chemically for moisture, protein, ash, and ether extract, total carbohydrate, ndf, adf, adl, crude fiber, viscosity, cellulose, and total dietary fiber. the in vitro mineral binding capacity ...

Two radiochemical (Irosorb 59 and Res-O-Mat Fc), a mechanized (DSA 560) and several manual colorimetric procedures (test combination of Roche, Merck and Haury) for the determination of the total iron binding capacity were compared with the transferrin-binding capacity (immunoprecipitation). Whereas all methods show a satisfactory correlation with the transferrin concentration, most colorimetric...

introduction: the consumption of dietary fiber plays an important role in the prevention of illnesses such as diabetes type 2, hypercholesterolemia. dietary fibers are not only desirable for their nutritional properties but also for their functional and technological properties. this study was undertaken to investigate the possibility of alkaline hydrolysis to remove fiber from rice bran. mater...
