Extraction of Lipids and Functional Properties of Defatted Egg Yolk Powder Obtained Using a One-Step Organic Solvent Lipid Extraction Process.

A one-step organic solvent lipid extraction method was used to separate lipids from spray-dried egg yolk. Organic solvents tested were chloroform:methanol (CM, 2:1, :), methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), or hexane:isopropanol (HI, 3:2, :). The resulting defatted egg yolk powder had between 21 and 30% more protein and between 22 and 25% less lipid than the initial spray-dried egg yolk powder ( < 0.

Low-Protein Diets Composed of Protein Recovered from Food Processing Supported Growth, but Induced Mild Hepatic Steatosis Compared with a No-Protein Diet in Young Female Rats.

Background: Living in low-income countries often restricts the consumption of adequate protein and animal protein.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of feeding low-protein diets on growth and liver health using proteins recovered from animal processing.

Methods: Female Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 28 d) were randomly assigned (n = 8 rats/group) to be fed standard purified diets with 0% or 10% kcal protein that was comprised of either carp, whey, or casein.

RNA-sequencing revealed apple pomace ameliorates expression of genes in the hypothalamus associated with neurodegeneration in female rats fed a Western diet during adolescence to adulthood.

Objectives: Apple pomace, a waste byproduct of apple processing, is rich in nutrients (e.g. polyphenols and soluble fiber) with the potential to be neuroprotective.

Environmental and Molecular Modulation of Motor Individuality in Larval Zebrafish.

Innate behavioral biases such as human handedness are a ubiquitous form of inter-individual variation that are not strictly hardwired into the genome and are influenced by diverse internal and external cues. Yet, genetic and environmental factors modulating behavioral variation remain poorly understood, especially in vertebrates. To identify genetic and environmental factors that influence behavioral variation, we take advantage of larval zebrafish light-search behavior.
