Hence, Achatina fulica meat meal (AFM), which is much less preferred for human consumption out of three species of African giant land snails, was tested as a fishmeal substitute for Clarias gariepinus growth. Five iso-nitrogenous and iso-calorific diets were formulated, in which AFM substituted fish meal at 0% (control or Diet A), 25% (Diet B), 50% (Diet C), 75% (Diet D) and 100% (Diet E). These dietary treatments were each replicated thrice in a completely randomized design experiment, using 36-L plastic tanks in which the fish were fed daily rations corresponding to 5% of their body weight, for 8 weeks. Water quality parameters in the tanks were monitored. Proximate analyses were conducted on the fish meal, snail meal and experimental diets before the feeding trials. Cost-benefit analysis of the different diets was performed. The crude protein content of AFM (69.18%) was significantly higher than that of fish meal (55.81%). There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the mean weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio and survival rate in fish fed Diet A and Diet B. The best protein efficiency ratio (0.77) was recorded in fish fed Diet B. Furthermore, the survival rate of fish increased with increased levels of AFM substitution. Water quality parameters were within a suitable range for tropical fish culture, indicating that the AFM did not pollute the water. The fish fed 25% AFM diet significantly (P Clarias gariepinus diets at a 25% substitution level. The aquaculture industry can thus exploit the availability of this feed resource.展开更多

Fermentation is a cost-effective method of detoxication but a food-grade starter culture with glucosinolates degradation capacity is required. In this study, 46 strains of lactic acid bacteria from traditional paocai brines were screened for their ability to glucosinolate degradation. The results showed that more than 50% of the strains significantly degraded glucosinolates. Two strains of Lactiplantibacillus(p7 and s7) with high capacity of glucosinolates degradation through producing enzymes were identified. Then,an optimized condition for rapeseed meal fermentation by p7 was established to degrade glucosinolates, which can achieve about 80% degradation. UPLC/Q-TOF-MS analysis showed that the degradation rate of individual glucosinolates was different and the degradation rate of gluconapin and progoitrin in rapeseed meal can reach more than 90%. Meanwhile, fermentation with p7 can improve safety of rapeseed meal by inhibiting the growth of Enterobacteriaceae and improve its nutritional properties by degrading phytic acid. The in vitro digestion experiments showed that the content of glucosinolates in rapeseed meal decreased significantly during gastric digestion. Meanwhile, fermentation with p7 can greatly improve the release of soluble protein and increase the contents of free essential amino acids, such as lysine(increased by 12 folds) and methionine(increased by 10 folds).展开更多

The experimental diets included 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% MBM or PBM replacement of total fishmeal respectively. All diets were iso-nitrogenous and isocaloric. The results showed that there are no significant differences （P 〉0.05） in growth performance among the treatments fed with 0% -60% MBM replacement of fishmeal, while the percent weight gain （WG, % ）, body length gain （BLG, % ） and ADC significantly decrease when fishmeal is replaced by 80% MBM. The result showed also that there are no significant differences （P 〉0.05） in growth performance and ADC among all treatments fed with the diets with 0% -80% replacements of fishmeal with PBM.展开更多

The basal diets were formulated with 22% fish meal and other ingredients which provided about 40% protein and 9% lipid in the diet. The experimental diets included MBM or PBM to replace 0, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of total fish meal respectively. All diets were iso-nitrogenous and isocaloric in gross terms. The results showed that there were no significant differences (P>0.05) in growth performance and ADC among the treatments fed with the diets in which 0-60% fish meal had been replaced with MBM, while the percent weight gain (WG, %), body length gain (BLG, %) and ADC significantly decreased when the MBM was up to 80% of the fish meal. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in growth performance and ADC among all the treatments fed with the diets in which 0-80% fish meal had been replaced with PBM.展开更多

In the first trial, 360 trout(178.9 ± 9.8 g of mean initial body weight) were randomly divided into three experimental groups(4 tanks/treatment, 30 fish/tank). The fish were fed for 78 days with isonitrogenous, isolipidic and isoenergetic diets containing increasing levels of HI, on as fed basis: 0%(HI0, control diet), 25%(HI25) and 50%(HI50) of fish meal substitution, corresponding to dietary inclusion levels of 0, 20% and 40%. In the second trial, 36 trout(4 tanks/treatment, 3 fish/tank) were used to evaluate the in vivo apparent digestibility coefficients(ADC) of the same diets used in the first trial.Results: Survival, growth performance, condition factor, somatic indexes, and dorsal fillet physical quality parameters were not affected by diet. The highest dietary inclusion of HI larvae meal increased dry matter and ether extract contents of trout dorsal fillet. The use of HI larvae meal induced a decrease of valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA) even if differences were only reported at the highest level of HI inclusion. The insect meal worsened the lipids health indexes of the same muscle. Dietary inclusion of insect meal did not alter the villus height of the fish. No differences were found among treatments in relation to ADC of ether extract and gross energy, while ADC of dry matter and crude protein were higher in HI25 if compared to HI50.Conclusions: The obtained results showed that a partially defatted HI larvae meal can be used as feed ingredient in trout diets up to 40% of inclusion level without impacting survival, growth performance, condition factor, somatic indexes, dorsal fillet physical quality parameters, and intestinal morphology of the fish. However, further investigations on specific feeding strategies and diet formulations are needed to limit the observed negative effects of the insect meal on the FA composition of dorsal muscle.展开更多

[Method] Nine kinds of enzymes were used to hydrolyze the corn gluten meal, using the formaldehyde titration method for the determination of hydrolysis degree, and orthogonal test was used to determine the optimal hydrolysis conditions for double enzymes hydrol- ysis of corn gluten meal. [Result] The optimal pretreatment condition for corn gluten meal is heating at 121 ~C for 30 min. The double enzyme hydrolysis for the pro- treated corn gluten meal using 2709 alkaline protease and flavourzyme showed that the degree of hydrolysis could reach 32.4% with enzyme addition amount of 4%, hy- drolysis time of 4 h at 45℃ and pH=7.0. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for the study on the preparation of bioactive peptides such as oligopeptide with high F value and antihypertensive peptides, further improving the corn intensive process- ing industrial chain.展开更多

文摘Background Insect meals have been identified as innovative and sustainable feedstuffs that could be used in ruminant nutrition.However,current research on the effects that their processing may have on rumen digestibility and fatty acid(FA)biohydrogenation is scant.This trial aims to investigate the effects(i)of drying temperature of fullfat Hermetia illucens(HI)and Tenebrio molitor(TM)meals,and(ii)of residual ether extract(EE)content of defatted HI and TM meals,on their fermentation characteristics and FA of rumen digesta after 24-h in vitro rumen incubation.Methods The tested full-fat meals included four HI and four TM meals obtained applying drying temperatures ranging from 30℃ to 70℃,while the tested defatted meals consisted of five HI and two TM meals containing a residual EE content ranging from 4.7 to 19.7 g EE/100 g dry matter(DM).The applied statistical models(GLM ANOVA)tested the effects of insect species,drying temperature(full-fat meals)or EE content(defatted meals),and their interaction.Results Drying temperature had minor effects on in vitro ruminal digestibility and FA profile of rumen digesta.Irrespective of insect species,increasing the drying temperature led to a reduction of in vitro degradation of proteins from insect meals,as outlined by the significant decrease in ammonia production(-0.009 mmol/g DM and-0.126 g/100 g total N for each additional 1℃).Irrespective of insect species,defatting increased total gas,volatile fatty acids(VFA)and CH_(4) productions,and the proportions of total saturated and branched-chain FA in rumen digesta(+0.038 mmol/g DM,+0.063 mmol/g DM,+12.9μmol/g DM,+0.18 g/100 g FA,and+0.19 g/100 g FA for each reduced 1 g EE/100 g DM,respectively),and reduced the proportion of total PUFA(-0.12 g/100 g FA).Conclusions The applied drying temperatures of full-fat insect meals are too low to exert impactful effects on rumen digestibility and FA biohydrogenation.Fat lowered fermentation activity,probably because of an inhibitory effect on rumen microbiota.The increased ruminal digestibility of defatted insect meals suggests that they can be more suitable to be used in ruminant nutrition than full-fat ones.

文摘Soybean meal(SBM)prepared by soybean crushing is the most popular protein source in the poultry and livestock industries(Cai et al.,2015)due to its economic manufacture,high protein content,and good nutritional value.Despite these benefits,SBM contains various antigen proteins such as glycinin andβ-conglycinin,which account for approximately 70%of the total proteins of the SBM and reduce digestibility and damage intestinal function(Peng et al.,2018).

文摘This study examined the effect of dietary serine(Ser)on egg white quality,ovomucin content of laying hens fed low-gossypol cottonseed meal(LCSM)-based diet and sought to explore the regulatory mechanism underlying the effects.A total of 288 Hy-Line Brown layers were randomly assigned into 3 treatments and respectively offered soybean meal(SBM)-based diet,LCSM-based diet,and LCSM-based diet supplemented with 0.435%L-Ser.Dietary Ser supplementation reversed the decrease in quality indices of albumen,including the proportion of thick albumen(P<0.05),thick-to-thin ratio(P<0.05),albumen height(P<0.05),Haugh unit(P<0.05),and apparent viscosity that were caused by LCSM intake.Also,dietary Ser supplementation mitigated the LCSM-induced reduction in ovomucin content of the albumen(P<0.05).FT-IR analysis of ovomucin revealed differences in second derivative spectra at 1,200-800 cm^(-1) between birds received SBM-and LCSM-based diets,meanwhile,the α-helix of ovomucin was decreased by LCSM but increased by Ser addition(P<0.05).Furthermore,Ser addition up-regulated the mRNA expression of β-ovomucin in magnum mucosa at 2 and 7.5 h post-oviposition(P<0.05).Ser mitigated the LCSMinduced impairment of magnum epithelium,increased goblet cell counts(P<0.05),and up-regulated the expression of occludin,mucin 2,and the relevant glycosyltransferases for O-glycosylation in magnum mucosa(P<0.05).Conclusively,the alleviating effect of Ser on declining albumen quality due to dietary LCSM,could be explained by the efficacy of Ser in regulating ovomucin synthesis.This regulation occurred at the levels of transcription and posttranscriptional O-glycosylation modification ofβ-ovomucin,while positive effect on magnum morphology and barrier function could also in part account for the ovomucin content.This would provide a promising research direction on the adoption of nutritional interventions for manipulation of egg white quality from perspectives of albumen protein synthesis.
文摘The main raw material utilized in wood adhesives comes from petrochemical extractives.However,due to the excessive dependence on petrochemical resources and the adverse impact on the ecosystem and human wellbeing,there is an increasing trend to develop byproduct protein-based adhesives in the current global food safety context.In this research,flaxseed meal was subjected to pretreatment,and trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether(TTE)and ethylenediamine(EN)were utilized as crosslinkers to establish a more compact adhesive layer and to prevent water intrusion.The pretreatment decreased the FM/UB viscosity by 60%compared to FM.The combination of CD analysis indicated that the Urea-NaOH pretreatment effectively stretched the flaxseed meal protein.According to Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction(XRD),and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)were used to analyze the resulting adhesive’s reaction mechanism and thermal response.Furthermore,the physical properties of the adhesive were characterized using wet shear strength testing and SEM observation.Remarkably,the dry bond strength increased from 0.72 to 2.12 MPa,representing a 194.4%increase.The wet bonding strength of the adhesive was improved from 0.22 to 1.21 MPa,representing a 550%increase compared to the original flaxseed protein-based adhesive,which far exceeded the minimum requirement for plywood of Type II(≥0.7 MPa,by GB/T 9846-2015).This study demonstrated an eco-friendly and sustainable method for the development of protein adhesives as viable substitutes for petrochemical resins.
文摘BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes(T2D)is a major health concern globally and its prevalence is expected to continue to escalate.Lifestyle intervention is an integral part of T2D management.Meal replacements are often used as part of lifestyle intervention programs in T2D and weight management programs.There are various trials being carried out to date;however,a thorough review regarding the usage of meal replacement on its types,dosage and associated outcomes and adverse events is still lacking.AIM To provide a comprehensive overview on existing studies regarding meal replacement usage among patients with T2D,and map out glycemic and weightrelated outcomes along with adverse effects incidences.METHODS This scoping review is conducted based on Arksey and O’Malley’s seminal framework for scoping reviews.A systematic search has been done for studies published between January 2020 and January 2024 across six online databases(Cochrane Library,PubMed,Science Direct,Scopus,Web of Science and Ebscohost Discovery)using specific keywords.Two researchers independently assessed the eligibility of the studies and extracted the data.The selected articles and extracted data were reviewed by all researchers.RESULTS The initial search resulted in an initial count of 53922 articles from which 133 articles were included in this review after eligibility screening.Included studies were categorized based on meal replacement type into low calorie/energy,low glycemic index,protein-rich,low-fat,diabetes-specific formulas,and combined lifestyle intervention programs.Fifty-nine studies reported improvements on hemoglobin A1c,and 70 studies reported positive changes in weight or BMI after the meal replacement intervention.The combination of meal replacements with education,counseling or structured lifestyle interventions has proved to be effective.Only 13 studies reported occurrence of adverse events related to the intervention.Most of the reported incidents were of mild occurrences with constipation being the most reported adverse event.CONCLUSION The results suggest that meal replacements,especially when combined with lifestyle intervention programs and counseling,are an effective and safe strategy in glycemic and weight management among patients with T2D.
文摘Background Black soldier fly larvae meal(BSFLM)stands out as a promising nutritional resource due to its rich bioactive substances and favorable protein profile.Nonetheless,its potential to mitigate coccidia infection in broilers remains uncertain.This study aimed to evaluate the impact of partially defatted BSFLM(pBSFLM)on growth performance,nutrient utilization,and intestinal health,focusing on morphology,immunology,and cecal fermentation in coccidia-infected broilers.Methods Over the initial 13 d,480 newly-hatched Cobb 500 male birds were allocated to three diets with increasing pBSFLM concentrations(0,60,or 120 g/kg).At d 13 post hatching,chicks within each dietary group were further allotted to non-challenge or challenge subsets,generating six treatments in a 3×2 factorial arrangement.Challenged birds were orally administered oocysts of E.maxima,E.acervulina,and E.tenella(25,000:125,000:25,000).Results During the infection phase(d 13 to 19),linear interactions between Eimeria and pBSFLM were observed in gain to feed ratio(G:F)(P<0.05)and cecal interferon-γ(IFN-γ,P<0.05),with a tendency in cecal acetate concentration(P=0.06).A quadratic interaction was observed in crypt depth(CD,P<0.05).Incremental pBSFLM inclusion negatively affected G:F,CD,IFN-γ,and acetate productions in the ceca under coccidia challenge.Conversely in nonchallenged birds,the impact of pBSFLM varied from neutral(e.g.G:F)to potentially advantageous(e.g.acetate).Challenged birds exhibited decreased(P<0.01)BW,BW gain,feed intake(FI),and the apparent ileal digestibility and total tract nutrient utilization of DM,gross energy,and nitrogen(N).Eimeria challenge reduced(P<0.01)serum carotenoid concentrations,decreased the villus height to crypt depth ratio(VH:CD,P<0.01),and increased concentrations of branched-chain fatty acids,specifically isobutyrate(P=0.059)and isovalerate(P<0.05)in the cecum.Dietary pBSFLM addition linearly reduced(P<0.05)BW,FI,and N utilization.Tendencies(P<0.06)were observed where pBSFLM linearly decreased VH:CD and reduced goblet cell density.Conclusions Increasing pBSFLM supplementation,particularly at 12%,adversely affected growth,ileal morphology,cecal acetate production,and downregulated key cytokine expression in response to coccidia infection.

文摘The emergence of meal replacement(MR)originates from physical exercise or fitness as a substitute for one or all meals and later expands to the field of weight loss.Indeed,the main application of current meal replacement is to lose body weight,whether patients with obesity,diabetes,fatty liver,infertile or pregnant women can benefit from weight loss.In addition,MRs still exhibit more biomedical potential in preventing and treating diseases,like anti-diabetes,improving fatty liver and kidney disease,preventing cancer,conceiving and reducing pregnancy complications,and improving life quality.Indeed,there are also disadvantages to meal replacement,including causing adverse effects,although most are acceptable and tolerated.To date,various commercially-developed MRs are walking from dining table to sickbed.Therefore,a scientific understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of meal replacements is crucial for their extensive application beyond biomedical potentials.

文摘This study investigated the preventive effects of soybean meal peptides(SPs)and their purification peptides(GTYW)on acute alcoholic liver injury.We combined the gut microbiota,metabolites,liver inflammation,and oxidative stress indicators to explore the prevention mechanism of SPs and GTYW.Results showed that SPs,GTYW effectively improved the hepatic oxidative stress and inflammatory.Additionally,SPs and GTYW reversed the effects of alcohol on the gut microbiota,which were evident in the increased abundance of Alloprevotella,Parasutterella in the GTYW group and norank_f__Muribaculaceae in the SPs group.Nontargeted metabolomic analysis showed that SPs ameliorated metabolic disorders by regulating phenylalanine,tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis,while GTYW regulated metabolites throughα-linolenic acid metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism.Furthermore,significant correlations were observed between gut microbiota,metabolites and liver indicators.These findings confirmed that SPs and GTYW can prevent acute alcoholic liver injury.
文摘Fishmeal is the most preferred source of protein in aquafeeds, but it is expensive and scarce. Hence, Achatina fulica meat meal (AFM), which is much less preferred for human consumption out of three species of African giant land snails, was tested as a fishmeal substitute for Clarias gariepinus growth. Five iso-nitrogenous and iso-calorific diets were formulated, in which AFM substituted fish meal at 0% (control or Diet A), 25% (Diet B), 50% (Diet C), 75% (Diet D) and 100% (Diet E). These dietary treatments were each replicated thrice in a completely randomized design experiment, using 36-L plastic tanks in which the fish were fed daily rations corresponding to 5% of their body weight, for 8 weeks. Water quality parameters in the tanks were monitored. Proximate analyses were conducted on the fish meal, snail meal and experimental diets before the feeding trials. Cost-benefit analysis of the different diets was performed. The crude protein content of AFM (69.18%) was significantly higher than that of fish meal (55.81%). There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the mean weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio and survival rate in fish fed Diet A and Diet B. The best protein efficiency ratio (0.77) was recorded in fish fed Diet B. Furthermore, the survival rate of fish increased with increased levels of AFM substitution. Water quality parameters were within a suitable range for tropical fish culture, indicating that the AFM did not pollute the water. The fish fed 25% AFM diet significantly (P Clarias gariepinus diets at a 25% substitution level. The aquaculture industry can thus exploit the availability of this feed resource.

文摘Background The development of a sustainable business model with social acceptance,makes necessary to develop new strategies to guarantee the growth,health,and well-being of farmed animals.Debaryomyces hansenii is a yeast species that can be used as a probiotic in aquaculture due to its capacity to i)promote cell proliferation and differen-tiation,ii)have immunostimulatory effects,iii)modulate gut microbiota,and/or iv)enhance the digestive function.To provide inside into the effects of D.hansenii on juveniles of gilthead seabream(Sparus aurata)condition,we inte-grated the evaluation of the main key performance indicators coupled with the integrative analysis of the intestine condition,through histological and microbiota state,and its transcriptomic profiling.Results After 70 days of a nutritional trial in which a diet with low levels of fishmeal(7%)was supplemented with 1.1%of D.hansenii(17.2×10^(5) CFU),an increase of ca.12%in somatic growth was observed together with an improve-ment in feed conversion in fish fed a yeast-supplemented diet.In terms of intestinal condition,this probiotic modu-lated gut microbiota without affecting the intestine cell organization,whereas an increase in the staining intensity of mucins rich in carboxylated and weakly sulphated glycoconjugates coupled with changes in the affinity for certain lectins were noted in goblet cells.Changes in microbiota were characterized by the reduction in abundance of several groups of Proteobacteria,especially those characterized as opportunistic groups.The microarrays-based transcrip-tomic analysis found 232 differential expressed genes in the anterior-mid intestine of S.aurata,that were mostly related to metabolic,antioxidant,immune,and symbiotic processes.Conclusions Dietary administration of D.hansenii enhanced somatic growth and improved feed efficiency param-eters,results that were coupled to an improvement of intestinal condition as histochemical and transcriptomic tools indicated.This probiotic yeast stimulated host-microbiota interactions without altering the intestinal cell organization nor generating dysbiosis,which demonstrated its safety as a feed additive.At the transcriptomic level,D.hansenii pro-moted metabolic pathways,mainly protein-related,sphingolipid,and thymidylate pathways,in addition to enhance antioxidant-related intestinal mechanisms,and to regulate sentinel immune processes,potentiating the defensive capacity meanwhile maintaining the homeostatic status of the intestine.
文摘Meal timing plays a crucial role for cardiometabolic health,given the circadian regulation of cardiometabolic function.However,to the best of our knowledge,no concept of meal timing exists in traditional European medicine(TEM).Therefore,in this narrative review,we aim to define the optimal time slot for energy intake and optimal energy distribution throughout the day in a context of TEM and explore further implications.By reviewing literature published between 2002 and 2022,we found that optimal timing for energy intake may be between 06:00 and 09:00,12:00 and 14:00,and between 15:00 and18:00,with high energy breakfast,medium energy lunch and low energy dinner and possibly further adjustments according to one’s chronotype and genetics.Also,timing and distribution of energy intake may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy to optimize coction,a concept describing digestion and metabolism in TEM.

文摘Background Two studies were designed to determine standard ileal crude protein(CP)and amino acid(AA)digestibility of soybean meal(SBM)from different origins fed to non-pregnant and pregnant sows.Seven solvent-extracted SBMs from soybeans produced in the USA,Brazil,and China were selected.In Exp.1,eight different diets were created:a nitrogen(N)-free diet and 7 experimental diets containing SBM from different origins as the only N source.Eight non-pregnant,multiparous sows were arranged in an 8×8 Latin square design(8 periods and 8 diets).In Exp.2,the diet formula was the same as in Exp.1.Eight gestating sows(parity 3)were assigned to 4 different diets in a replicated 4×3 Youden square design(three periods and four diets)in mid-gestation and again in late-gestation stages.Results When fed to non-pregnant and late-gestating sows,the standardized ileal digestibility(SID)of CP and most AAs from different SBM were not significantly different(P>0.05).When fed to mid-gestating sows,the SID values for Arg,His,Lys,Phe,Cys,Gly,Ser,and Tyr in SBM 1 were lower than in SBM 4 and 5(P<0.05),whereas SID for Leu from SBM 5 was higher than in SBM 1 and 4(P<0.05).SID values for Ile,Ala,and Asp from SBM 4 were lower than in SBM 1 and 5(P<0.05).Sows had significantly greater SID values for Lys,Ala,and Asp during mid-gestation when compared with late-gestation stages(P<0.05).Mid-gestating sows had greater SID value for Val and lower SID value for Tyr when compared with non-pregnant and late-gestating sows(P<0.01),whereas non-pregnant sows had significantly greater SID value for Met when compared with gestating sows(P<0.01).Conclusions When fed to mid-gestating sows,the SID values for most AAs varied among SBM samples.The SID values for Lys,Met,Val,Ala,Asp,and Tyr in SBM were affected by sow gestation stages.Our findings provide a cornerstone for accurate SBM use in sow diets.

文摘Rapeseed meal is a promising food ingredient, but its utilization is limited by the presence of some potentially harmful ingredients, such as glucosinolates. Fermentation is a cost-effective method of detoxication but a food-grade starter culture with glucosinolates degradation capacity is required. In this study, 46 strains of lactic acid bacteria from traditional paocai brines were screened for their ability to glucosinolate degradation. The results showed that more than 50% of the strains significantly degraded glucosinolates. Two strains of Lactiplantibacillus(p7 and s7) with high capacity of glucosinolates degradation through producing enzymes were identified. Then,an optimized condition for rapeseed meal fermentation by p7 was established to degrade glucosinolates, which can achieve about 80% degradation. UPLC/Q-TOF-MS analysis showed that the degradation rate of individual glucosinolates was different and the degradation rate of gluconapin and progoitrin in rapeseed meal can reach more than 90%. Meanwhile, fermentation with p7 can improve safety of rapeseed meal by inhibiting the growth of Enterobacteriaceae and improve its nutritional properties by degrading phytic acid. The in vitro digestion experiments showed that the content of glucosinolates in rapeseed meal decreased significantly during gastric digestion. Meanwhile, fermentation with p7 can greatly improve the release of soluble protein and increase the contents of free essential amino acids, such as lysine(increased by 12 folds) and methionine(increased by 10 folds).

文摘The canola oil industry generates significant waste as canola meal(CM)which has limited scope and applications.This study demonstrates the possibility of valorization of CM as a sustainable natural filler in a biodegradable polymer composite of Poly(lactic acid)(PLA).Generally,interfacial bonding between natural fibers and the polymer matrix in the composite is weak and non-uniform.One possible solution is to derivatize natural fibre to introduce interfacial bond strength and compatibility with the PLA polymer matrix.Here,CM was succinylated in a reactive extrusion process using succinic anhydride at 30 wt%to get 14%derivatization with 0.02 g of-COOH density per g of CM.The CM or succinylated CM at 5 and 15 wt%was co-extruded with amorphous PLA to get composite fibers.CM-PLA and succinylated CM-PLA biocomposites were foamed using a mild and green microcellular foaming process,with CO_(2) as an impregnating agent without any addition of organic solvents.The properties of the foams were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis(DMTA),shrinkage,and imaging.The addition of CM or succinylated CM as a natural filler did not significantly change the glass transition temperature,melting point,percent crystallization,stiffness,and thermal stability of PLA foams.This suggests succinylation(modification)of CM is not a mandatory step for improving interphase compatibility with the amorphous PLA.The new PLA-CM foams can be a good alternative in the packaging industry replacing the existing petroleum-based polymer foams.
文摘A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of meat and bone meal （MBM） and poultry by-product meal （PBM） as the replacement of fishmeal in the diets on the growth performance, survival and apparent digestibility coefficient （ADC） of Japanese flounder （Paralichthys olivaceus）. The experimental diets included 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% MBM or PBM replacement of total fishmeal respectively. All diets were iso-nitrogenous and isocaloric. The results showed that there are no significant differences （P 〉0.05） in growth performance among the treatments fed with 0% -60% MBM replacement of fishmeal, while the percent weight gain （WG, % ）, body length gain （BLG, % ） and ADC significantly decrease when fishmeal is replaced by 80% MBM. The result showed also that there are no significant differences （P 〉0.05） in growth performance and ADC among all treatments fed with the diets with 0% -80% replacements of fishmeal with PBM.
文摘A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of meat and bone meal (MBM) and poultry by-product meal (PBM) as the replacement of fish meal in the diets on the growth performance, survival and apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of Litopenaeus vannamei. The basal diets were formulated with 22% fish meal and other ingredients which provided about 40% protein and 9% lipid in the diet. The experimental diets included MBM or PBM to replace 0, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of total fish meal respectively. All diets were iso-nitrogenous and isocaloric in gross terms. The results showed that there were no significant differences (P>0.05) in growth performance and ADC among the treatments fed with the diets in which 0-60% fish meal had been replaced with MBM, while the percent weight gain (WG, %), body length gain (BLG, %) and ADC significantly decreased when the MBM was up to 80% of the fish meal. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in growth performance and ADC among all the treatments fed with the diets in which 0-80% fish meal had been replaced with PBM.

文摘Background: Two trials were performed to evaluate a partially defatted Hermetia illucens(HI) larvae meal as potential feed ingredient in rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) diets. In the first trial, 360 trout(178.9 ± 9.8 g of mean initial body weight) were randomly divided into three experimental groups(4 tanks/treatment, 30 fish/tank). The fish were fed for 78 days with isonitrogenous, isolipidic and isoenergetic diets containing increasing levels of HI, on as fed basis: 0%(HI0, control diet), 25%(HI25) and 50%(HI50) of fish meal substitution, corresponding to dietary inclusion levels of 0, 20% and 40%. In the second trial, 36 trout(4 tanks/treatment, 3 fish/tank) were used to evaluate the in vivo apparent digestibility coefficients(ADC) of the same diets used in the first trial.Results: Survival, growth performance, condition factor, somatic indexes, and dorsal fillet physical quality parameters were not affected by diet. The highest dietary inclusion of HI larvae meal increased dry matter and ether extract contents of trout dorsal fillet. The use of HI larvae meal induced a decrease of valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA) even if differences were only reported at the highest level of HI inclusion. The insect meal worsened the lipids health indexes of the same muscle. Dietary inclusion of insect meal did not alter the villus height of the fish. No differences were found among treatments in relation to ADC of ether extract and gross energy, while ADC of dry matter and crude protein were higher in HI25 if compared to HI50.Conclusions: The obtained results showed that a partially defatted HI larvae meal can be used as feed ingredient in trout diets up to 40% of inclusion level without impacting survival, growth performance, condition factor, somatic indexes, dorsal fillet physical quality parameters, and intestinal morphology of the fish. However, further investigations on specific feeding strategies and diet formulations are needed to limit the observed negative effects of the insect meal on the FA composition of dorsal muscle.
文摘[Objective] To investigate the optimal enzyme for the hydrolysis of corn gluten meal and the optimal hydrolysis conditions for the enzyme. [Method] Nine kinds of enzymes were used to hydrolyze the corn gluten meal, using the formaldehyde titration method for the determination of hydrolysis degree, and orthogonal test was used to determine the optimal hydrolysis conditions for double enzymes hydrol- ysis of corn gluten meal. [Result] The optimal pretreatment condition for corn gluten meal is heating at 121 ~C for 30 min. The double enzyme hydrolysis for the pro- treated corn gluten meal using 2709 alkaline protease and flavourzyme showed that the degree of hydrolysis could reach 32.4% with enzyme addition amount of 4%, hy- drolysis time of 4 h at 45℃ and pH=7.0. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for the study on the preparation of bioactive peptides such as oligopeptide with high F value and antihypertensive peptides, further improving the corn intensive process- ing industrial chain.

文摘Background Soy protein supplements,with high crude protein and less antinutritional factors,are produced from soybean meal by different processes.This study evaluated the comparative effects of various soy protein supplements replacing animal protein supplements in feeds on the intestinal immune status,intestinal oxidative stress,mucosaassociated microbiota,and growth performance of nursery pigs.Methods Sixty nursery pigs(6.6±0.5 kg BW)were allotted to five treatments in a randomized complete block design with initial BW and sex as blocks.Pigs were fed for 39 d in 3 phases(P1,P2,and P3).Treatments were:Control(CON),basal diet with fish meal 4%,2%,and 1%,poultry meal 10%,8%,and 4%,and blood plasma 4%,2%,and 1%for P1,P2,and P3,respectively;basal diet with soy protein concentrate(SPC),enzyme-treated soybean meal(ESB),fermented soybean meal with Lactobacillus(FSBL),and fermented soybean meal with Bacillus(FSBB),replacing 1/3,2/3,and 3/3 of animal protein supplements for P1,P2,and P3,respectively.Data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure in SAS 9.4.Results The SPC did not affect the BW,ADG,and G:F,whereas it tended to reduce(P=0.094)the ADFI and tended to increase(P=0.091)crypt cell proliferation.The ESM did not affect BW,ADG,ADFI,and G:F,whereas tended to decrease(P=0.098)protein carbonyl in jejunal mucosa.The FSBL decreased(P<0.05)BW and ADG,increased(P<0.05)TNF-α,and Klebsiella and tended to increase MDA(P=0.065)and IgG(P=0.089)in jejunal mucosa.The FSBB tended to increase(P=0.073)TNF-α,increased(P<0.05)Clostridium and decreased(P<0.05)Achromobacter and alpha diversity of microbiota in jejunal mucosa.Conclusions Soy protein concentrate,enzyme-treated soybean meal,and fermented soybean meal with Bacillus could reduce the use of animal protein supplements up to 33%until 7 kg body weight,up to 67%from 7 to 11 kg body weight,and entirely from 11 kg body weight without affecting the intestinal health and the growth performance of nursery pigs.Fermented soybean meal with Lactobacillus,however,increased the immune reaction and oxidative stress in the intestine consequently reducing the growth performance.
