INTRODUCTION Malnutrition is a cause for concern among many admitted elderly patients, being common at hospital admission and discharge. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to assess if diet enrichment with small servings of energy and protein dense foods, improves energy and nutrient intake in elderly patients at risk of malnutrition discharged to home. METHODS This was a retrospect...

Caulobacter crescentus has a penicillinase which precludes the use of penicillin for mutant enrichment. However, two other antibiotics, fosfomycin and D-cycloserine, can be enrich for C. crescentus mutants. In enrichment procedures for C. crescentus auxotrophs, spontaneously derived mutants occur at a frequency of 5-10% among the survivors of an enrichment procedure. Consequently, large numbers...

Production of chicken meat is an important branch of food industry. Generally, poultry meat farmers aim to produce birds with superior body weight and feed conversion ratio. However, in line with current developments, there are other parameters that must to be taken into account such as lower body fat deposition and improvement in the nutrient composition of products corresponding to consumer r...

In a previous study of the fermentation of lactate by Clostridium lacto-acetophilum (Bhat and Barker, 1947) it was shown that pure cultures of this organism can decompose lactate only when acetate is provided as a second substrate, whereas enrichment cultures of the same organism do not require added acetate. This difference in nutritional requirements indicated a corresponding difference in th...

The science of nutritional biology has progressed extensively over the last decade to develop food-based nutraceuticals as a form of highly personalized medicine or therapeutic agent. Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] is a crop with potentially tremendous but under-explored source of nutraceutical properties as compared to other regularly consumed cereals. In the era of growing div...
