Flax seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding broiler birds flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids (FA) in meat tissues and can increase human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in flax seed decrease digestibility of lipids and proteins and have a negative impact...
Dressed, bagged whole chickens from three Oregon and several
out-of-state processors were purchased from retail markets in each
season in 1988. Birds were stored at 3°C for 6 days. Total aerobic
microorganisms, total psychrotrophic microorganisms, pseudomonads
and fluorescent pseudomonads were determined by appropriate
procedures. Total aerobic microorganisms and psychrotrophic
microorganisms...
Several experiments were carried out on Coturnix coturnix
japonica to investigate the effect of selection for growth on a protein
deficient ration. A level of 27% protein was found to be optimum for
three different strains and 17.8% was the lowest protein level used
that allowed for growth and accordingly...
The sensations of taste and smell are integral to our perception of food. Because the olfactory and gustatory systems are physiologically separate, scientists were once uncertain of whether information from these two systems interacted at the perceptual level. Recent studies suggest that taste and smell do indeed interact. Two interaction...
