Amin Mousavi Khaneghah

It is important to have a reliable method to analyze pesticides in tea, a beverage commonly consumed in Iran. A validated method was developed for the determination of 20 pesticides in tea based on QuEChERS sample preparation and capillary gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry in selective ion monitoring mode (GC-MS/SIM) using triphenyl methane (TPM) solution as an internal standard. We used fortified, extracted, and cleaned-up tea samples instead of calibration standards for quantitation, which substantially reduced adverse matrix-related effects and negative recovery affected by graphite carbon black (GCB) on pesticide analysis. The recovery of pesticides at 3 concentration (40, 60, and …

5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Content Of Cereal-Based Processed Foods, Y. Amornkul, Padmanaban Krishnan, Jon Devries Dec 2012

5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Content Of Cereal-Based Processed Foods, Y. Amornkul, Padmanaban Krishnan, Jon Devries

Padmanaban Krishnan

Folates are important for human nutrition and health. While certain foods have a significant amount of naturally occurring folate (predominantly 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, 5-MeTHF), other foods may be fortified with synthetic folic acid. 5-MeTHF and folic acid have comparable physiological activity, however, intake of 5-MeTHF may have advantages over intake of folic acid in terms of reducing the potential for masking of vitamin B12 deficiency and interaction with drugs that inhibit dihydrofolate reductase. Hence, an optimized method to measure 5-MeTHF in foods was developed and used to measure it in selected processed and ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. The optimized method of extraction, purification …

The effects of supplementation with mixed fodder or concentrate were investigated on the performance of a) growth of male lambs;md kids grazing extensively under oil palm trees and b) reproduction of ewes and goats stall-fed with native herbage. Supplemented kids and lambs had higher average daily weight gain than controls but the effect was only significant for those which received concentrate (p < 0.05). Final body weight was only significantly different from controls for lambs supplemented with concentrate (p < 0.05). The ages at puberty, first mating, first conception and first kidding of supplemented goats were about 110 days earlier than those for controls (p < 0.05 or better). Supplemented goats had first mating and conceived at lower body weights (p < 0.01) than those in control groups. Different feeding regimes had no effects (p > 0.05) on the reproductive performance of ewes apart fi om highest body weight of first lambing in animals supplemented with concentrate (p < 0.05). Native herbage available under oil palm trees of 5 years old was sufficient for growth …
