The hypolipidaemic effects of synbiotic yoghurt prepared using Lactobacillus acidophilus , fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and isomaltooligosaccharide (IMOS) were assessed through biological study. Hyperlipidaemia‐induced rabbits fed on a diet containing different levels yoghurt, the blood animals was analysed for lipid profile weekly basis. There significant reductions in total cholesterol (124.00 ± 7.10 mg/dL), triglycerides (155.00 8.88 low‐density lipoprotein (13.27 0.76 mg/dL) very (57.04...

Gamma irradiation was applied to the improved extraction of water-soluble polysaccharides (WSPs) from dried Lentinus edodes. Irradiation provided a dose-dependent increase in yield (0 kGy, 2.01%; 7.5 4.03%; 15 7.17%) and purity 78.8%; 83.1%; 85.6%) WSPs hot-water extraction. The effect evident degraded microstructures reduced molecular weights WSPs. However, nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray diffraction spectroscopic analyses comparable structures nonirradiated...

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate whether intravaginal infusion probiotics (a lactic acid bacteria cocktail) around parturition would influence metabolic status and increase milk production transition dairy cows. One hundred pregnant Holstein cows were assigned 1 the 3 experimental groups receiving or carrier (i.e., sterile skim milk) once a week at wk –2, –1, +1 relative calving as follows: 2 consecutive before dose after (TRT1), doses (TRT2), (CTR). lyophilized culture...

It is commonly accepted that dietary fibers are good for gut health. The effect of on the diversity and metabolic activities cecal microflora, however, differ with passage time. Therefore, we investigated time-series impacts pasture grazing system (a high fiber source) microbiome short-chain fatty acids in Wanpu geese, comparing it to commercial feeding low source). microbiota composition SCFA concentrations were evaluated by 16S rRNA gene sequencing gas chromatography, respectively. We...

Purpose The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has established that vinegar is a liquid only obtained by fermentation. Although in Pakistan mostly synthetic marketed, production through fermentation at industrial level also carried out. However, produced this method tends to be inferior quality due uncontrolled conditions. In industry mixed culture Acetobacter used for acetic acid but no attention given towards its proper maintenance contaminated with other kinds...

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a significant global public health concern, particularly in regions where livestock rearing prevalent. Despite its impact on morbidity and mortality, CE has received insufficient attention compared to other neglected tropical diseases. The complexities management arise from challenges early detection, effective treatment, parasite eradication. present study addresses this gap by exploring innovative therapeutic approaches using amide-based compounds. In recent...

• Pearl millet flour could provide excellent nutritional attribute for staple diet. PGS can be slow down the amylopectin retrogradation process and moisture loss. Texture of chapati have improved using PGS. It was found that 40 % pearl with 2 added in wheat to produce functional Chapati. The current study is designed diversify daily diets like Chapatti (minor cereal) flour. Wheat-millet composite flours (WMCFs) were prepared by incorporating at 20 %, 60 then rheology WMCFs assessed through...

Furfural was prepared from corn cobs available locally in this study.The process consisted of crushed cobs, sulfuric acid and salt mixture.The mixture heated to about 120 o C for 2 hours extract furfural water solution the mixture.From system, extracted by using ether.Ether system.As ether has low boiling point so could be recovered simply heating 33 C. Results suggest that percentage yield increased increasing concentration acid.
