Abomasal Infusion of Deuterium-Labeled Choline Confirms that Choline is a Methyl Donor in Gestating and Lactating Holstein Dairy Cattle.

Background: In cattle, dietary choline is fed in a rumen-protected form to bypass ruminal degradation while allowing intestinal absorption of choline. We require data to help us define choline utilization in the dairy cow transitioning from gestation to lactation.

Objectives: The study examined choline methyl group transfer in dairy cattle transitioning from gestation to lactation.

Chayote ( (Jacq.) Swartz) Seed as an Unexploited Protein Source: Bio-Functional and Nutritional Quality of Protein Isolates.

Chayote seeds have good protein quality and recognized bioactive properties, being still unexplored as a nutraceutical. In this work, chayote seed protein isolates (CSPIs) were prepared by alkaline extraction (AE) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) using a probe (20 kHz) or a water bath (40 kHz), and their physicochemical, functional properties and nutraceutical potential were investigated. For all treatments, protein solutions (10% /) were treated for 20 min.

Jabuticaba peel extract and nisin: A promising combination for reducing sodium nitrite in Bologna-type sausages.

This study investigated the effect of a 50% reduction in sodium nitrite and the addition of nisin (200 mg/kg) and different concentrations (0, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%) of jabuticaba peel extract (JPE) on the main attributes affected by this chemical additive in Bologna-type sausages.
