Snacks from whole pinto bean and field pea flours were produced by high temperature extrusion using Wenger TX-52 twin screw extruder. Seasonings were blended into the flours before extrusions. Flavouring of extruded snacks was accomplished by first applying a fine spray of Canola oil (10% of puffs weight), followed by coating them with cheese powder (15%). Shelf-life stability of extruded products...
Dietary fibres (DF) have been isolated from rapeseed and peas, separated into different fractions and investigated for their content of associated non-carbohydrate compounds, especially proteins by UV-spectroscopy, nitrogen determination, isoelectric focusing, and rocket Immunoelectrophoresis. The level of protein varied according to the plant origin of DF and among the different DF fractions (pectins,...
The effect of the Panax ginseng powder extract on reproduction, growth, renal and liver functions and some blood biochemical indices of Japanese quails were investigated. Panax ginseng powder extract at 2 mg and 4 mg/bird daily increased egg number per hen, average egg weight and hatchability. It slightly improved the efficiency of feed utilization and increased the levels of serum total protein,...
Muscle proteases are located mainly in the lysosomes, in the sarcoplasm, and in the extracellular matrix of the connective tissue surrounding each cell. The lysosomal proteases, cathepsins, have optimum activity in the acidic range, although many of them retain high activity also 1 or 2 pH units away from the optimum value. Among the cathepsins there are endopeptidases and exopeptidases. Most cathepsins...
The nutrient composition of some neglected and less familiar plant seeds was studied. The seeds showed wide variation in constituents and could be compared with commonly consumed food articles. The protein content ranged írom 29.2 g /kg in Callitris intratropica to 253.5 g/kg in Percopsis elata, while the carbohydrate content was found to be between 330.5 g/kg and 734.8 g/kg in P. elata and Dracena...
The purpose of this work was to characterize some physico-chemical properties of proteins in raw and stored Tibo faba beans. The storage caused that the faba bean proteins were partialy degraded and hydrolysed, which resulted in a decreased content of albumins, globulins, and amino acids in stored seeds. The nutritional value of proteins decreased due to loss of essential amino acids and lower susceptibility...
There is a rather widespread view that inadequate composition of diet, with respect to the content of certain natural products and presence of foreign substances in food rations, is a very important factor contributing to the occurrence and development of certain neoplasms. The opinions on this problem show a constant evolution. This review tries to provide a picture of the present state of knowledge...
The aim of the study was to determine the content and biological activity of phenolic compounds of three faba bean genotypes - a coloured flowered Nadwiślański variety, a coloured flowered "self-ending" Tinos variety and white flowered Caspar variety. Comparing the white flowered Caspar variety containing 0.34% of phenolic compounds in the seed coat, in this proantho- cyanidins made from...
In summary, the nutrient requirements of the premature infant are not well defined, but the CPS Nutrition Committee has provided a systemic framework for describing recommended nutrient intakes. These current recommended intakes appear to provide safe quantities of nutrients that support intrauterine growth rates. Still uncertain, however, is the extent to which the recommended intakes lead to the...
Amino acid sequences of chicken (Gallus gallus) meat proteins: myosin, tropomyosin, troponin, collagen and connectin taken from SWISS-PROT and EMBL databases have been analysed using "PROTEIN" computer program searching for fragments identical to bioactive peptides and for bonds susceptible to the action of endopeptidases in protein chains. Chicken meat proteins contain fragments with antihypertensive...
Using response surface methodology (RSM), the non-linear effects of soaking time (0-8 h) and blanching time (5-35 min) at NaHCO3 concentrations up to 0.5% were determined on the relative in vitro protein digestibility ( IVPD%) of soybean cotyledon. The applied non-linear mathematical model indicated higher determination coefficient between the experimental and predicted data (R2 0.96) within the studied...
