The intake of food products containing prebiotics has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and may also contribute to increased mineral absorption from a diet. In the food industry prebiotics (inulins and maltodextrins) are also used because of their functional properties such as stabilizing emulsions. A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of inulin HPX and...
The aim of present work was to evaluate the influence of extrusion parameters on chemical composition of seeds of five bean cultivars. Milled seeds were moisturized to 14% or 20%, and processed in single screw extruder at 120 or 180°C. On raw material and extrudates the following analyzes were performed: protein, lipids, TDF, SDF and IDF content. Also content of starch, ash and mineral compounds was...
Rats of control group were fed a standard diet (LSM). One of the diets was supplemented with 1% cholesterol (LSM+CH), another one with 5% freeze-dried apple pulp (APP), and the last one with both, 1% cholesterol and 5% apple pulp. Dietary addition of apple pulp significantly increased calcium concentration in femur bone from 154.2±5.6 (LSM, LSM+CH) to 180.1±4.8 g/kg wet weight (APP, APP+CH), while...
Effects of enriching a non-modified diet of dyslipidaemic men and women with hull-less oats (Akt variety), contributing 10-15% to the diet's calorific content, on the levels of glucose, triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, HDL- and LDL-cholesterols, and fibrinogen were tested experimentally. The women eating the oat-enriched diet for 6 weeks were found to have reduced their triacylglycerol, total...
In the factorial 23 design male Wistar rats were fed ad libitum diets supplemented with dietary fibre preparations (fruit and maize preparations; 50 and 150 g/kg diet) and intoxicated with lead acetate per os (200 and 400 mgPb/kg diet) for 5 weeks. At the end of the study, rats were anaesthetised and hair, liver, kidney, spleen, and femoral bone were dissected for chemical analysis. It was found that:...
