TLDR
The acid-detergent fiber method (ADF) as mentioned in this paper is a fiber method based on cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution.
Abstract
The capacity of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution has been utilized in development of a method, called acid-detergent fiber method (ADF), which is not only a fiber determination in itself bnt also the major preparatory step in the determination of lignin. The entire procedure for determining fiber and lignin is considerably more rapid than presently published methods. Compositional studies show ADF to consist chiefly of lignin and polysaccharides. Correlations with the new fiber method and digestibility of 18 forages (r = —0.79) showed it to be somewhat superior to crude fiber (r = —0.73) in estimating nutritive valué. The correla-

Enhanced H2 gas production from bagasse using adhE inactivated Klebsiella oxytoca HP1 by sequential dark-photo fermentations.

TL;DR: The results indicate that reducing ethanol content during dark fermentation by using an adhE inactivated strain can significantly enhance hydrogen production from bagasse in the SDPF system.

Postharvest UV-C treatment for extending shelf life and improving nutritional quality of African indigenous leafy vegetables

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the potential of using hormic UV-C for maintaining the nutritional quality of AIVs during their supply chain as an easy to apply and effective tool, hence contributing to improved food accessibility and food safety in Sub-Saharan areas such as Kenya.

Effects of formaldehyde treated soybean meal on nutrient use, milk yield and composition, and free amino acids in the lactating bovine

TL;DR: In this article, a 28-day switchback design was used to compare the nutritive value of water treated and.9% formaldehyde treated soybean meal in comparison with the same basal diet.
