The use of corn oil in white cheese production instead of milk fat was investigated and its effects on the quality parameters of cheese were studied. It was demonstrated that the use of corn oil significantly affected the levels of dry matter, fat in dry matter, protein, salt in dry matter and

Twenty juvenile New Zealand white rabbits were dosed orally once daily with 1,000 mg of nalidixic acid/kg for 3, 7, and 14 consecutive days, then for 14 days followed by a 14-day recovery period. Eighteen age-matched rabbits were allotted to four groups and given corn oil vehicle to serve as

Three mixtures of precooked white corn flour with 10, 20 and 30% amaranth flour were prepared. The sedimentation and consistency of the mixtures differed from those of the white corn flour, but without altering the capacity of dough formation to prepare arepas. The protein, fiber, and ash contents

The biotin requirement of rats fed a diet based upon 62.4% sucrose, 20.0% egg white and 10.0% corn oil was determined using growth for 60 days as the cirterion. Maximal growth and maximal concentration of cholesterol in plasma occurred when the diet contained 2.00 mg biotin/kg. Growth depression was

Stomatal movements were recorded in isolated leaf sections of Zea mays. Through continuous operation of the porometers it was possible to follow the reactions of the stomatal feedback system.White light was provided by a high-pressure xenon arc. Radiation intensity was varied in steps. The

ABSTRACT The present study was conducted using 6 to 8 month old New Zealand white male rabbits (nine rabbits per treatment group). Daily gavages of 3, 1.5, 0.75, or 0 mg endosulfan/kg BW in corn oil resulted in the death of five (55%), three (33%), zero (0%), and zero (0%) rabbits, respectively, in

In Venezuela, white corn is the most important crop regarding production, harvest area and consumption. One of its main by-products is corn oil, whose positive effect on health caused by the high content of unsaturated fatty acids has been widely recognized. In order to characterize the fatty acids

Juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) were fed eight isonitrogenous and isoenergetic purified diets for 9 wk to study their ability to utilize different dietary lipids. Each diet contained 15% of control oil mixture (corn oil-cold liver oil-lard, 1:1:1), corn oil, cod liver oil, lard,

One of the strategies for decreasing the consumption of herbicides consists in improving their uptake and efficiency. It was suggested that the photodegradation of herbicides due to sunlight results in a greater demand of herbicides to be introduced into the environment in order to ensure the plant

One-hundred-eighty male and female ducklings (90 of each sex) were fed isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets formulated to contain 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10% corn oil in the starter (0 to 14 days), grower (14 to 35 days), and finisher (35 to 49 days) periods. Body weights of the ducklings were not

Fifty White Leghorn male chicks were divided into five equal groups of ten chicks each. Beginning at two weeks of age they were injected on each alternate day as follows: corn oil as a vehicle control or 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, or 10.0 mg tamoxifen/kg/b.wt. The whole experimental period lasted until twelve

A neurohistopathologic study was conducted to determine the types and incidence of spontaneous lesions of the nervous system in healthy adult hens. Tissues examined were brain, three levels of spinal cord, and sciatic nerves from 92 healthy commercial hens from a single commercial egg-production

Pentachlorophenol (PCP), a priority pollutant due to its persistence and high toxicity, has been used worldwide as a pesticide and biocide. To understand the adverse effects of PCP, adult male white-rumped munias (Lonchura striata) were orally administrated commercial PCP mixed with corn oil at

Various methods of processing maize suitable for household use in rural Malawi, Central Africa, were investigated for their ability to reduce its phytate content and phytate/zinc molar ratio. These methods included fermentation, germination, and soaking. Penta- and hexainositol phosphates were
