limited data exist about the production of extruded linseed as a feed ingredient in farm animal nutrition. the objective of this study was to produce and evaluate extruded linseed mixed with alfalfa hay, pistachio by-products, and sugar beet pulp or corn grain in different proportions of linseed: alfalfa hay: pistachio by-products at ratios of 70:15:15, 70:20:10, 70:10:20, and 80:10:10 for qual...

Fatty liver is prevalent in apolipoprotein B (apoB)-defective familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL). Similar to humans, mouse models of FHBL produced by gene targeting (apob(+/38.9)) manifest low plasma cholesterol and increased hepatic triglycerides (TG) even on a chow diet due to impaired hepatic VLDL-TG secretive capacity. Because apoB truncations shorter than apoB48 are expressed in the i...

in this study, chemical composition and functional properties of red bean, chickpea, lentil and canellini bean were evaluated. our results revealed that chickpea had the highest protein (43.4%) and fat (5.17%) content and lentil, red bean and canellini bean were the following ones. the isoelectric point of all the samples were determined as about ph=4 but other than lentil, the remaining sample...

BACKGROUND Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) fiber was shown to promote weight loss in a 3-month clinical investigation. As demonstrated by in vitro studies, cactus fiber binds to dietary fat and its use results in reduced absorption, which in turn leads to reduced energy absorption and ultimately the reduction of body weight. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to elucidate the dietary fat ...

Previous in vitro studies showed that the small intestine has reserve capacities for absorption of nutrients. However, the size of the reserve capacity is controversial. Therefore, we measured the intestinal capacity for absorption of energy in relation to the postprandial gastric delivery of energy into the gut. In minipigs, a 150-cm length of jejunum was perfused (1-8 kcal/min) with four nutr...

Accepted: 29/09/2014 Abstract The objective of this work was to investigate the chemical composition, pasting properties and selected functional properties of chickpea and dried green pea flour. The proximate analysis showed that there was a non significant difference in chickpea flour and dried green pea flour composition, except that of crude fat and fiber. The crude fat of chickpea flour sho...

Effect of texturized defatted meal of sunflower, soybean and flaxseed on quality characteristics of chapatti was investigated. Texturized defatted meal of sunflower, soybean and flaxseed was blended at 10%. 20%, 30% and 40% levels with wheat flour (atta) for making chapatti making. Chapattis were evaluated for physical, textural, sensory and functional properties. Proximate analysis of defatted...

In this study, the effect of different isolation techniques on the isolated proteins from pigeon pea was investigated. Water, methanol, ammonium sulfate, and acetone were used for the precipitation of proteins from pigeon pea. Proximate composition, and antinutritional and functional properties of the pigeon pea flour and the isolated proteins were measured. Data generated were statistically an...

This study aimed to highlight the effects of grains dry heat treatment, flour particle size and variety on sorghum nutritional, functional, molecular characteristics. The results obtained showed that treatment led fat, fiber water absorption capacity increase, while moisture, protein, ash, retention capacity, solubility index, foaming FT-IR bands characteristic phytic acids decreased with tempe...
