Article Abstract
Recently, there is growing attention on the use of low-cost sorbents in the depollution of contaminated waters. As a consequence, the present work investigates the potential of soy bran and mustard husk as possible sorbent for the removal of arsenic(V) from residual water. Effects of various operating parameters such as: contact time, pH, initial arsenic concentration, pH, sorbent dose, temperature were investigated to determine the removal efficiency of arsenic(V). Thermodynamic parameters that characterize the process indicated that the adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic. The values for the separation factor, RL were less than one which confirms that the adsorption process was favorable. Equilibrium data fitted well to the Langmuir model with a higher adsorption capacity of soy bran (74.07 mg g-1) towards arsenic(V) ions than mustard husk (65.79 mg g-1). It was found that the pseudo-second order kinetic model was the best applicable model to describe the adsorption kinetic data.

True Ileal Amino Acid Digestibility of Human Foods Classified According to Food Type as Determined in the Growing Pig.
J Nutr

Riddet Institute, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.
Background: A Food and Agriculture Organization Expert Consultation recommended the use of digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) to evaluate protein quality of foods for humans. Calculation of DIAAS requires true ileal digestibility (TID) of amino acid (AA) values but currently insufficient data are available.
Objectives: This study aims to generate in pigs TID of AA for a wide range of foods commonly consumed by humans and determine the range of differences in TID of AA among food types.

Background: This study aims to improve the nutritional value of meal replacement powder by incorporating rice bran (RB) and Cyperus esculentus L. cake (CEC) to meet the dietary needs of individuals seeking to lose weight. The conditions of the meal replacement powder were optimized using single-factor experiment and the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology.

Removal of growth-promoting antibiotics (AGPs) is associated with the emergence of chronic, low-level gut inflammation induced by environmental stressors, especially diet components. However, there have been no reports demonstrating an increased susceptibility of birds to pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella following the removal of AGPs from the animal feed. For the present studies, we hypothesize that a dietary-derived, low-grade chronic intestinal inflammation increases the susceptibility of young broiler chickens to intestinal colonization, extraintestinal infection, and the pathogenicity of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE).

The study aimed to estimate the effect of diet composition, pig production stage, in-housing conditions, and manure management on methane (CH4) emissions from enteric fermentation, manure stored in the barn, and the outdoor storage tank. For each pig category, an estimation for emissions was made for a standard Danish pig diet based on wheat, barley, and soybean meal. Within each category of pigs, emissions were also estimated for diets with different levels and types of dietary fiber from sugar beet pulp, wheat bran, oats, wheat, or soy hulls, which were included as a partial substitution for wheat or barley.

Prebiotics are non-digestible dietary compounds, defined as substrates that are utilised by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit. Although fructo-oligosaccharides (FOSs) and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOSs) are among the most studied prebiotics and support intestinal normobiosis, comprehensive data on their content in foods remain limited. The objective was to quantify the content of FOSs (kestose, nystose, and 1 F-β-fructofuranosylnystose) and GOSs (raffinose and stachyose) in 35 foods, including fruit and nuts, legumes, and cereals.
