Title | : | Study On Comparative Assessment Of Nutritional Parameter In Differentiate Milk Samples |
Country | : | Bangladesh |
Authors | : | Avra Pratim Chowdhury || Kazi Mohammad Rokonuddin || Mohammad Abul Manchur |
ABSTRACT: There is no scientific evidence to suggest that there is any meaningful difference in the nutritional value of pasteurized and unpasteurized (raw) milk. In addition, vitamin D, which is not found in significant amounts in milk due to presence of calcium. Pasteurization does not affect a person's ability to digest lactose due to the absent of lactase enzyme in milk. The enzyme required to break down lactose, known as lactase, is produced by cells that line the small intestine in the human body. This enzyme is not present in either raw or pasteurized milk for this reason it is necessary to inspect stored milk for microbial growth.......

Authors | : | Dimphna, Nneka Ezikanyi |
ABSTRACT: The fruit of Lycopersicum esculentum M. (tomato) is one of the most important vegetable plants in Africa. Their large water content and soft endocarp make them susceptible to spoilage by fungi. The spoiled, rotten, often broken ones are usually preferred by low income earners because of their cheap prices. The isolation and identification of fungi associated with rotten tomato were carried out to determine fungi involved in tomato spoilage........

ABSTRACT: This study was aimed to compare allelopathic effect of tannic acid with the successive solvent extract fractions of aerial parts of Ampelocissus latifolia and to identify the qualitatively superior allelopathic (inhibitory) phenolic fraction in terms of growth retardation effects in wheat root apical meristems in laboratory conditions. Five extract fractions were prepared using soxhlet apparatus by sequentially passing organic solvents with increasing polarity index through the fixed amount of dried leaf powder and the allelopathic inhibitory action of the extract fractions was studied using wheat seedlings and that was compared with the allelopathic action of tannic acid.......

ABSTRACT: Weeds have been termed plant pests because of the damage they haveimposed on plants. The use of synthetic chemicals to control weeds has elicited doubts amongst various stakeholders because of environmental pollution and increased weeds resistance to them. Allelopathy, an interaction in which one plant causes suffering to another, has been considered environmental friendly method to control weeds and enhance crop production........

ABSTRACT: TAnimal experimentation has had great importance in the development of biomedical research; it has been responsible for major medical advances in recent decades. Even with the great progress of alternative methods, the animal model is still needed. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an animal model that has reached high popularity for its features, mainly because it has some similarities to mammals, which bestow it a great potential as an experimental model.......
