The role of sprouts in human nutrition. A review

Abstract: Based on the data of the literature it can be stated that the original composition of the seeds essentially changes during germination. The quantity of the protein fractions changes, the proportion of the ni- trogen containing fractions shifts towards the smaller protein fractions, oligopeptides and free amino acids. Beyond this changes the quantity of the amino acids (some of them increase, others decrease or do not alter) during germination, and nonprotein amino acids also are produced. In consequence of these changes, the biological value of the sprout protein increase, and greater digestibility was established in animal experiments. The composition of the triglycerides also changes, owing to hydrolysis free fatty acids originate, that can be considered as a certain kind of prediges- tion. Generally, the ratio of the saturated fatty acids increases compared

Composition of mare's colostrum and milk: II. Protein content, amino acid composition and contents of macro- and micro-elements.

Abstract: Changes in the protein content, protein fractions and amino acid composition of mare's colostrum and milk, and biological value of milk protein during the flrst 45 days of lactation were studied. Milk samples (averaging 300{800 cm 3 ) from 29 lactating mares were collected daily at the beginning of the lactation and weekly from the 5 th to 45 th days post-partum. Colostrum samples were obtained by hand milking without oxytocin administration, while the foals nursed and milk samples

Separation and determination of the amino acids by ion exchange column chromatography applying postcolumn derivatization.

Abstract: The most perfect method for the determination of the amino acid composition of pure protein, feeds or biological fluids is still the ion exchange column chromatography (IEC). By the help of the lithium buffer system most of the problems on the field of free amino acid analysis of biological fluids can be solved. At IEC most contaminants move rapidly through the post-column system and are discarded before separation of amino acids begins, resulting in better performance. The time of the sample preparation is minimal compared to pre-column methods, and the detection (with ninhydrin or OPA) is chemically specific for amino

Composition of mare's colostrum and milk: I. Fat content, fatty acid composition and vitamin contents.

Abstract: Changes in the fat content, fatty acid composition and vitamin contents of mare’s colostrum and milk during the first 45 days of lactation were studied. Milk samples (300–800 ml) from 29 lactating mares, were collected daily at the beginning of the lactation and weekly from 5 to 45 days postpartum. Colostrum and early milk samples were obtained by hand, without oxytocin administration, while the foal nursed. Later milk samples were from mixed milk of the totally-milked udder. Each sample was analysed for total solids, fat content, fatty acid

A study of 34 cultivars of basil (Ocimum L.) and their morphological, economic and biochemical characteristics, using standardized descriptors.

Abstract: Basil is an important medicinal and aromatic plant that is widely used in many fields. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oil content and ornamental value of a wide range of species and cultivars of Ocimum L. from various different sources, using standardized descriptors. 34 cultivars of basil (Ocimum L.) were grown in two different years at The Faculty of Horticulture in Lednice, Czech Republic. The cultivars were divided into groups according to leaf colour and leaf size. The cultivars displayed a wide diversity of morphological, biological and economic characteristics. The groups of green small-leafed and purple-leafed varieties were judged to be the most decorative. To improve the ornamental value of the Ocimum species the uniformity, colour stability and earliness of flowering should be examined. The essential oil was extracted using hydro-distillation methods. Most of the samples had high essential oil levels (1.8 – 14.3 ml.kg), which were influenced by cultivar, environmental conditions and storage length. The major
