Potensi Asam Amino Pada Tempe Untuk Memperbaiki Profil Lipid Dan Diabetes Mellitus, Diah M. Utari, Rimbawan Rimbawan, Hadi Riyadi, Muhilal Muhilal, Purwantyastuti Purwantyastuti

Kesmas

Prevalensi penyakit degeneratif dari tahun ke tahun meningkat akibat perubahan gaya hidup, khususnya perubahan pola makan. Walaupun tempe sebagai makanan tradisional Indonesia yang banyak dikonsumsi masyarakat karena mudah diperoleh dan harga terjangkau, tidak banyak yang mengetahui manfaat tempe bagi kesehatan. Tempe lama dikenal sebagai sumber protein yang dikonsumsi oleh kalangan masyarakat berpenghasilan rendah. Kajian lebih mendalam mengenai kandungan gizi dan manfaat tempe dan bagi kesehatan, khusus sebagai pencegah penyakit degeneratif perlu dilakukan. Proses fermentasi kedelai menjadi tempe mengakibatkan perubahan zat gizi dan non gizi yang mengakibatkan manfaat tempe jauh lebih baik dibandingkan kedelai. Protein tempe lebih mudah di cerna tubuh, …

Crystallization Behavior Of Anhydrous Milk Fat-Sunflower Oil Wax Blends, Rebekah M. Kerr, Xenia Tombokan, Supriyo Ghosh, Silvana Martini

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

This research evaluates the effect of sunflower oil wax (SFOw) addition on the crystallization behavior and functional properties of anhydrous milk fat (AMF). Induction times of nucleation, melting behavior, microstructure of crystals, and hardness were evaluated for samples of pure AMF and AMF with 0.1 and 0.25% SFOw. Results from this research show that the addition of waxes induced the onset of crystallization of AMF by inducing its nucleation, as evidenced by decreased induction times of nucleation and the formation of smaller crystals. Crystal growth after tempering was also promoted by waxes, and significantly harder lipid networks were obtained. Results …

Effect Of Brown Midrib Corn Silage And Dried Distillers Grains Plus Solubles On Lactational Performance And Nitrogen Utilization By Dairy Cows, Hugo A. Ramirez

Department of Animal Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Thirty six Holstein cows, four ruminally cannulated, (mean ± SD, 111 ± 35 DIM; 664 ± 76.5 kg BW) were used in replicated 4×4 Latin squares to investigate the effects of brown midrib (bm3) and conventional (DP) corn silages, and the inclusion of dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) on milk production and N utilization. In each 28 d period cows were assigned to one of four treatments: DP plus 0% DDGS (CON); bm3 plus 0% DDGS (BMR); DP corn silage plus 30% DDGS (DP+DG); and bm3 plus 30% DDGS (BMR+DG). Dry matter intake was greater (P < 0.01) for cows consuming bm3 (25.8 VS 24.4 ± 0.47 kg), likewise for DDGS (24.3 and 25.9 ± 0.47 kg/d for 0 and 30%). Compared to DP hybrid, NDFD was higher (P < 0.01) for bm3 (32.5 VS 38.1 ± 1.79%). There was a hybrid × DDGS interaction (P < 0.01) for total concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and rumen pH as the highly digestible treatment BMR+DG resulted in the highest VFA and the lowest pH. Milk yield was not affected by treatment and averaged 30.6 ± 1.09 kg/d. Milk protein yield (MPY) was greater (P < 0.01) for bm3 and DDGS treatments. There was a hybrid by DDGS interaction (P = 0.02) for milk fat yield (MFY) resulting in 1.03, 1.08, 0.84 and 0.78 ± 0.045 kg/d for DP, BMR, DP+DG and BMR+DG. Fat corrected milk (FCM) was affected by DDGS (P < 0.01) and averaged 30.0 and 26.4 ± 1.0kg/d (0% and 30% inclusions). Urinary N excretion was similar among treatments; however fecal N was lower (P = 0.03) for diets containing bm3 corn silage which caused lower (P = 0.02) manure N. These results indicate that bm3 corn silage and DDGS increase DMI, NDFD and MPY; however high inclusion of corn silage with 30% DDGS reduces FCM. Nitrogen excretion was reduced when cows consumed bm3.

The Paternal Component Of The ‘‘Healthy Migrant’’ Effect: Fathers’ Natality And Infants’ Low Birth Weight, Ambika Krishnakumar, Sandra D. Lane, Meghan Hall, Evaline Tso, Natasha Pinto, William Suk

Falk College Research Center

This study examines the predictors of birth outcomes among women of European and African ancestry and considers the birthplace of the babies’ fathers (foreign born vs. native born) as a protective factor. This is a secondary data analysis of 146,431 singleton births among women of European and African ancestry, both native-born and foreign-born, in a 21 birth hospital region of Central New York State from 1996 to 2003. Foreign born fathers were found to have 15% fewer low birth weight infants than US-born fathers, after controlling for the race and birthplace of the mother, tobacco use and Medicaid. Although this …

Evaluation Of Syracuse Healthy Start’S Program For Abnormal Flora Management To Reduce Preterm Birth Among Pregnant Women, Emilia H. Koumans, Sandra D. Lane, Richard Aubry, Kathleen Demott, Noah Webster, Brooke A. Levandowski

Falk College Research Center

Randomized trials of bacterial vaginosis (BV) treatment among pregnant women to reduce preterm birth have had mixed results. Among non-pregnant women, BV recurs frequently after treatment. Randomized trials of early BV treatment for pregnant women in which recurrence was retreated have shown promise in reducing preterm birth. Syracuse’s Healthy Start (SHS) program began in 1997; in 1998 prenatal care providers for pregnant women living in high infant mortality zip codes were encouraged to screen for abnormal vaginal flora at the first prenatal visit. Vaginal swabs were sent to a referral hospital laboratory for Gram staining and interpretation. SHS encouraged providers …

It Takes At Least Two: Male Partner Factors, Racial/Ethnic Disparity, And Chlamydia Trachomatis Among Pregnant Women, Jessica Weisz, Sara Lozyniak, Sandra D. Lane, Robert Silverman, Kathy Demott, Martha A. Wojtowycz

Falk College Research Center

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection in the United States, disproportionately infects women and people of color. This study aimed to identify risk factors for racial and ethnic disparities for CT infection, re-infection, and persistent infection among pregnant women. We present a secondary analysis of births from a retrospective cohort study in Syracuse, NY from January 2000 through March 2002. African American women [OR 3.35 CI (2.29, 4.92)], Latin American women [OR 4.35 CI (2.52, 7.48)], unmarried women [OR 7.57 CI (4.38, 13.10)], and teen mothers [OR 3.87 CI (2.91, 5.16)] demonstrated statistically significant increased risk for …

Soil Composition Of Community Gardens: Are There Quality Concerns?, Shahla Wunderlich, Charles Feldman, K. Latif, P. Punamiya

Department of Nutrition and Food Studies Scholarship and Creative Works

It is suggested, but not confirmed, that soil composition and minerals in soil can affect the nutritional quality of the produce. Determining soil composition of community gardens has therefore become significant for foods that are grown in these gardens as the popularity of community gardens are on the rise. A comparative study of five (5) community garden soils from different regions of New Jersey and New York over a period of 4 months was conducted. A total of nine (9) elements including Al, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb were analysed using the EPA Method 3051A. Among …

Metabolomic Profiling To Investigate Effect Of Curcumin In Lung Cancer, Arvind Goja

Wayne State University Dissertations

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, in part due to poor diagnosis. Prognosis can be improved, if detected at an early stage. The objective of this study was to use the metabolomic approach to investigate early potential biomarkers for lung cancer. Golden Syrian hamsters were randomized into two groups (treatment and control). Lung cancer was induced in treatment group by a chemical carcinogen, N-nitrosobis-2-(oxopropyl) amine (BOP) while the control animals were injected with saline. Urine was collected weekly throughout the study and frozen at -800 C. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra, acquired …

Obesity in the United States has increased dramatically over the past 30 years, and the country has fallen far short of the stated objective of Healthy People 2010 of reducing the prevalence of adult obesity to 15%. Among children, obesity has increased most significantly in the 12-19 year old age group. It is well established that obesity is associated with …
