A study was made of the effect of rice chaff oil (ASA) on gastroduodenal ulcer (UGD) induced by different techniques: cysteaminium chloride, indomethacin, artificial gastric juices and stress (acidity, histamine, pepsin and volume of gastric juice were evaluated). For each technique the same protocol was followed: four days before the experiment 20 Wistar rats (180-220 g) were divided into a control group (0.2 ml/day of saline solution per os) and a treated group (0.2 ml/day of oral rice chaff oil). After quantitation of the ulcers and statistical analysis of the data, the ulcer index was found to be smaller in the treated group than in controls, both for stress ulcers (p less than 0.01) and for those induced by indomethacin (p less than 0.001) and artificial gastric juice (p less than 0.001). As for the cysteaminium chloride technique, an evaluation was made of the ulcer per se and the inflammatory halo; in both cases there were significant differences (p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.01 respectively) between the treated group and controls. No significant differences were found on comparing the values off histamine, pepsin and the volume of gastric juices, but there were differences in hydrogen ion concentration (p less than 0.05). An analysis is made of the physiologic aspects studied in each technique, emphasizing the possible implication of prostaglandins (PG) and alpha-tocopherol after treatment with rice chaff oil.

Esophageal diseases include esophageal obstruction, esophagitis, esophageal stricture, and esophageal diverticulum. Imaging can facilitate the selection of appropriate treatment options and assist in differential diagnosis. Esophageal obstruction in cattle is generally caused by greedy nature of chewing and swallowing of food and foreign structures, including stones, potatoes, trichobezoar, carrots, foodstuffs (i.

Article Synopsis
- The increasing presence of antibiotic mycelial residues (AMRs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) poses a major risk to both ecosystems and public health.
- Research indicates that composting can effectively recycle AMRs, but the specifics of how gentamicin and ARGs degrade during the composting process of gentamicin mycelial residues (GMRs) is not well-studied on an industrial level.
- The study found that the optimal composting condition (C/N ratio of 25:1) achieved 98.23% removal of gentamicin and 53.20% removal of total ARGs, while also revealing that the increasing presence of aminoglycoside resistance genes (AMGs) after composting
Investigation on fresh bamboo replacing rice husks for brewing light-aroma Baijiu.
J Food Sci
April 2023
Luzhou Pinchuang Technology, Luzhou, China.
Husks are the main source of bran and furfural flavor in traditional Chinese light-aroma Baijiu, but they negatively affect its smell and taste. Here, bran husks were replaced with fresh bamboo to brew light-aroma Baijiu. Flavor components in Jiupei and Baijiu were detected through headspace solid-phase microextraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and physicochemical properties were assessed; flavor results were obtained from correlation, principal component, and cluster analyses.

Background: Due to interactions with variety of environmental and physicochemical factors, the composition and diversity of bacteria and fungi in manure ectopic fermentation are constantly changing. The purpose of this study was to investigated bacterial and fungal changes in dairy manure ectopic fermentation, as well as the relationships between keystone species and physicochemical characteristics.
Methods: Ectopic fermentation was carried out for 93 days using mattress materials, which was combined with rice husk and rice chaff (6:4, v/v), and dairy waste mixed with manure and sewage.
Influence of Biofillers on the Properties of Regrind Crystalline Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (CPET).

Polymer and Food Protection Consortium, Iowa State University, 536 Farm House Ln, Ames, IA 50011, USA.
As the demand for plastics only increases, new methods are required to economically and sustainably increase plastic usage without landfill and environmental accumulation. In addition, the use of biofillers is encouraged as a way to reduce the cost of the final resin by incorporating agricultural and industrial waste by-products, such as rice hulls and coffee chaff to further reduce waste being sent to landfills. Crystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (CPET) is a resin commonly used for microwave and ovenable food packaging containers that have not been fully explored for recycling.
