Effect of gamma-irradiation on the lipid profile of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.)

The effect of gamma-irradiation on the lipid constituents of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) was examined at radiation doses between 2.5 and 10 kGy. The fatty acid composition of the triacylglycerol, the major lipid component, was found to be made up of myristic (90%), palmitic (6%), lauric (3%), petroselinic (0.13%), and stearic acids (0.5%) as determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A dose-dependent decrease in the triacylglycerol content and a concomitant increase in free fatty acids characterized the lipid profile of the irradiated spice. This suggested a breakdown of acylglycerols during radiation processing, resulting in the release of free fatty acids. These changes were found to be significant at doses above 5 kGy. The impact of the above changes on the flavor of the spice is discussed. These studies suggest that radiation processing of nutmeg should be limited to a dose of 5 kGy.  相似文献   

Breeding distribution and maternal genetic lineages in Lulu,a dwarf cattle population in Nepal     

Hiroshi FUJISE  Masaru MURAKAMI  Bhuminand DEVKOTA  Ishwori Prasad DHAKAL  Kumiko TAKEDA  Hirofumi HANADA  Hideo FUJITANI  Masao SASAKI  Kosaku KOBAYASHI 《Animal Science Journal》2003,74(1):1-5

Lulu is a dwarf cattle population bred in the Mustang district of western and central Nepal. This area is located around the habitat boundary between Bos taurus and Bos indicus. The peculiarities of Lulu are their small size (weight range in the adult female: 68–153 kg) and rearing in high mountain areas at 2800 m to 4000 m in altitude. There were 5770 head of Lulu cattle in the Mustang district in 1998, 4333 females and 1437 males. The morphological appearance of Lulu is Bos taurus. However, one of the five Lulu studied in Kagbeni, Mustang had a Bos indicus mitochondrial DNA type based on the D‐loop sequence, while the other four were Bos taurus. It is suggested that there are hybrids of Lulu with Bos indicus maternal lineage in a mostly taurine‐breed genetic background. Steps must be taken to preserve the unique Lulu.  相似文献

Effect of Lentil Residues on the Yield and Response of Succeeding Rice to Nitrogen     

P. S. John    R. Prasad    S. Singh    Mercy  George S. N. Sharma 《Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science》1989,163(3):177-180

A field experiment was conducted at the Division of Agronomy, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during 1983-84 and 1984-85 to study the effect of lentil residues on the yield and response of succeeding rice to nitrogen. Lentil residues benefitted the succeeding rice and gave longer and heavier panicles, more grains per panicle, higher 1000-grain weight and higher grain and straw yield of rice as compared to fallow. Rice responded well to applied nitrogen both in the absence and presence of lentil residues. The effect of lentil root residues and root residues plus incorporation of lentil straw was equivalent to 11 and 33 kg N ha⁻¹ when 60 kg N ha⁻¹ was applied to rice; the corresponding values being 54 and 60 kg N ha⁻¹ when 120 kg N ha⁻¹ was applied to rice.  相似文献

Physiological and biochemical effects of glyceryl guaiacolate-thiopentone sodium anaesthesia in buffalo calves   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

K B Agrawal  B Prasad  V K Sobti 《Research in veterinary science》1983,35(1):53-57

Glyceryl guaiacolate was used with thiopentone sodium for general anaesthesia in 10 clinically healthy male buffalo calves. When the animals were in the stage of surgical anaesthesia, there was marked hypotension and tachycardia along with a decrease in central venous pressure, tidal volume, partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood and venous plasma potassium. Hyperglycaemia was another consistent feature. The changes in the acid base status were mild and inconsistent.  相似文献

Esterase, malate, and lactate dehydrogenases activity in murine neuroblastoma     

R Prasad  N Prasad  K N Prasad 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1973,181(98):450-451

Mouse neuroblastoma tumors have only the fifth isozyme band (A(4)) of lactate dehydrogenase, whereas this band is missing in the brain which contained four other bands of lactate dehydrogenase. The alpha-esterase isozyme patterns of tumors, kidney, and brain are similar except that there is an additional slowest-moving form of esterase in all tumor tissues. The malate dehydrogenase pattern is not altered in any of the tissues.  相似文献   

Effect of a Winter Cereal or Legume Crop on the Yield and Nutrient Uptake by Summer Maize/Cowpea Fodder     

M. George  R. Prasad 《Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science》1989,163(3):212-214

A field experiment conducted at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi brought out that summer maize green fodder yield was 31.8 t/ha to 34.1 t/ha, while that of cowpea fodder was only 15.5 to 16 t/ ha. Maize fodder and crude protein yield and NPK uptake was more after a winter legume (lentil) than after a winter cereal (wheat).  相似文献
