Preparing and Evaluation of New Nutritious Products from Quail Meat

The objective of this study is preparation of new nutritious products from quail meat compared to other products prepared from chicken meat as control and commercial products which bought from supermarket. The proximate composition, chemical, physical and sensorial properties were evaluated. The different products were prepared as sausage form quail meat (SQ), chicken meat (SC) and commercial (SCo), and, kofta from quail meat (KQ), chicken meat (KC) and commercial (KCo), and, nuggets from quail meat (NQ), chicken meat (NC) and commercial (NCo). The result observed that the chemical composition of products that prepared from quail meat recorded the highest content of protein and ash, on contrary, the lowest content of fat compared with products that prepare from chicken meat as control or commercial. All products that prepared from quail meat recorded high content of K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Zn, Se and vitamin A, Kofta was the highest one followed by nuggets then sausage products. While sausage products that prepared from both quail and chicken meat as control recorded the highest content of vitamin E, followed nuggets and kofta, respectively compared with commercial products. The results indicated decreasing cooking loss after preparing of quail meat products followed by both chicken meat products as control and commercial product, increasing water capacity (WHC) of KQ and plasticity of SQ and NQ. All products were accepted from panelists while slightly significant difference among these products (P > 0.05). SC was the highest score in colour, taste, odour, texture and overall acceptability compared with SQ and SCo. Generally products were prepared from quail meat which showed high acceptance in sensory evaluation by panelists.

A New Method for Calculating the Nutrition Balance of the Food Package

Based on the previously published research on the nutritional balance of single recipes based on the fragrance index, this paper proposes a simple diet nutrition balance calculation method based on overlap rate. We calculated and compared the combination of any two of the 25 dishes based on the overlap rate method, which is the nutritional balance of the simple package. We also compared the overlap rate based method and the fragrance index based method for 6 simple packages. The results show that the results of the two methods have certain consistency. We also give a formula for calculating the nutritional balance of a simple package consisting of 3 dishes, which can be extended to a package consisting of more dishes.

Evaluation of Pollution Due to Gold Mining at Ity-Floleu Area in Sub-Prefecture of Zouan-Hounien, Western Côte d’Ivoire

This study aims to evaluate the mineral pollution of a gold mining environment in the sub-Prefecture of Zouan-Hounien (C?;te d’Ivoire). Samples were taken from surface water and flesh and skin samples of the Cavally River fish species over a period of two successive years. Concentrations in major elements, trace elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn), nutrients () and physico-chemical parameters in situ were measured. The results obtained show that the surface waters have very low pH with an average of 5.70. For nutrient salts, the deterioration of water quality in the study area is mainly related to alterations by nitrates, phosphates and sulphates. The concentrations of Fe, Cu, Hg and Pb are above the existing standards (international, FAO/WHO) for the majority of the stations, thus causing the deterioration of the surface water quality. Therefore, their use for agricultural irrigation could have negative impact on the health of the population and on biodiversity. Regarding the bioindicating species, the results obtained after analysis of samples showed that the fish (carp and machoiron) have Fe, Cu, Hg and Pb concentrations higher than the existing standards (international, FAO/WHO) exposing consumers to high health risks. This study showed good correlation between the high values of surface water turbidity and the proximity of gold washing sites. The use of the principal component analysis (PCA) of the physicochemical dataset revealed comparable behaviors for certain minerals within the groups (Fe, K, Mg, Mn and Na) and (As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Ca) in water. The Ascending Hierarchical Classification (AHC) analysis has defined three different classes of surface water in the study area. The presence of mineral trace elements in these receiving environments is of natural origin but would be strongly accentuated by human activities.

Study on Physiological Characteristics and Supporting Techniques of Huayu 22 Peanut

Huayu 22 Peanut( Arachis hypogaea L.) belongs to ordinary large variety of peanut with high quality,high yield potential and high stress resistance. Study on nutrition characteristics,stress physiology and supporting techniques of Huayu 22 Peanut is conducive to further developing its application value in breeding and exploiting its high yield potential. Compared with Baisha 1016 Peanut,Huayu 22 Peanut has greater shade tolerance. In weak light,both the leaf area and rate of photosynthesis of Huayu 22 Peanut decline slightly,and damage of chloroplast ultramicrostructure is less,light compensation point and chloroplast a / b are lower,and capturing and utilization efficiency of weak light are higher; after removal of shade,Huayu 22 Peanut plant gets recovered quickly with higher growth compensation effect but slight dropping of yield. Characteristics of N supply for Huayu 22 Peanut at different growth stages are as follows: N supply intensity of root nodule takes on unimodal curve with peak at pod bearing stage. The N supply intensity of soil takes on N shape with higher value at pegging stage and pod filling stage; N supply intensity takes on unimodal curve with peak at pegging stage. At seedling stage and pod filling stage,N is mainly supplied by soil; at pegging stage and pod bearing stage,N is supplied by root nodule. At whole growth stage,root nodule has the largest contribution to N supply,accounting for 50. 0%,followed by soil and fertilizer,and the proportion is about 5: 3: 2. The study established standardized supporting technique for simple cultivation of Huayu 22 Peanut with " single-seed planting,high effective fertilizer application,and three sprays and multi-prevention".

Roasted fox nuts (Euryale Ferox L.) contain higher concentration of phenolics, flavonoids, minerals and antioxidants, and exhibit lower Glycemic Index (GI) in human subjects

Fox nut (Euryale ferox) is categorized among superior quality foods because of its highly nutritious profile. It also serves as a good protein source for vegetarian diets. However, it is not widely consumed, due to soggy texture and bland flavor as compared to other nuts. In this study, we used roasting and seasoning to enhance its consumer acceptance. Furthermore, we have also compared biochemical, nutritional and physical properties of the roasted and unroasted fox nuts;and their Glycemic Index (GI) in human subjects. Results showed that roasting significantly (P ≤ 0.05) improved the minerals content (from 0.58 to 0.66%), protein content (from 11.40 to 14.57%), total phenolics (from 346.02 to 470.62 mg GAE/100 g), flavonoids (from 4.15 to 4.43 mg CE/g), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (from 48.54 to 79.13% inhibition) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (from 662.46 to 957.14 μmol FeSO4/g). Consumer acceptance was evaluated with and without seasoning;both salt and spice seasoned roasted nuts had greater overall acceptability as compared to plain roasted and unroasted nuts. Fox nuts also reported low GI (37%) in human subjects (ethical approval #1772/01-06-2020). Thus, roasted fox nuts can be consumed as nutrient rich and low GI snack;not only as a component of healthy diet but can also be served to patients with metabolic disorders like obesity and diabetes.
