Summary: The study found that replacing fish meal with barley protein concentrate (BPC) and wheat gluten meal (WGM) in Caspian brown trout diets can improve growth performance and digestibility. It was also observed that increasing BCP levels in the diets led to a decrease in the activities of protein and aminopeptidase enzymes.

Summary: The effects of saltwater soaking and thermal pre-treatment on the physicochemical and nutritional quality of sundried tilapia fish products were studied. Higher salt concentration and temperature during pre-treatment resulted in increased protein, lipid, and ash content, as well as improved mineral composition and fatty acids profile. The treated samples also showed higher amino acid content and lower levels of heavy metals. These findings suggest that saltwater and thermal pre-treatment can enhance the quality of sundried tilapia fish products.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of lyophilization on the nutritional value and retention of functional ingredients in ovine and porcine by-products. The results showed that lyophilization did not significantly affect protein and fat content, but may have an impact on the amount of certain amino acids. The process of lyophilization is appropriate for preserving the nutritional value and beneficial components of meat by-products.

Summary: In this study, the evolution of aroma in freeze-dried jujubes during dynamic freeze drying was analyzed. A total of 53 volatile compounds were identified, and the contents of aroma compounds were found to increase after freeze drying. Certain amino acids were found to have a significant correlation with pyrazines, which dominate the roasty note of freeze-dried jujube. Fatty acids, specifically linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and oleic acid, influenced the increase of esters and contributed fruity and sweet notes to freeze-dried jujube. The factors influencing the formation of aroma were ranked as temperature, enzyme activity, fatty acids, and amino acids.

Summary: The study found that the dynamic profiles of amino acids, fatty acids, and metabolites in pig muscle tissues are regulated by breed, diet, and physiological stage, as well as influenced by dietary protein levels. Bama mini-pigs had higher contents of flavor-related amino acids and certain types of fats compared to Landrace pigs, and these differences were present at different growth stages. The adequate-protein diet increased the muscular contents of alpha-ketoglutarate in both breeds.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between overall diet quality and dietary factors with serum biomarkers for lipid and amino acid metabolism in a general population of children aged 6-8 years. The findings showed that better diet quality, higher intake of unsaturated fat and fiber from dietary sources, and lower intake of sugary products were associated with more favorable levels of serum biomarkers for lipid and amino acid metabolism, independent of adiposity.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of reducing dietary crude protein levels while maintaining optimal ratios of amino acids on the growth performance of pigs. The results show that there is a minimum crude protein level after which the growth performance of pigs can be compromised, even with balanced essential amino acids. These findings have practical implications for formulating swine diets.

Summary: A 20-week feeding trial was conducted to assess the possibility of using a formulated diet instead of an iced trash fish diet for feeding spotted mandarin fish. The study examined the effects of the two diets on the growth performance and muscle nutrient composition of the fish. The results showed that the formulated diet had potential as a substitute for the iced trash fish diet for rearing spotted mandarin fish, but further optimization is necessary to improve their growth.

Summary: By improving the technology of amaranth pasta, disaster food with high nutritional value can be developed. Due to the growing interest in vegan products, there is a need for new nutritious products to cover nutritional deficiencies in the vegan diet. This study found that pasta made from amaranth flour, as well as pasta blends with buckwheat or oat flour, can provide essential nutrients for a vegan diet.

Summary: Microalgae are a promising resource for food and feed markets, and the development of sustainable drying technologies is crucial for cost-effective preservation of high-quality biomass. This study tested a solar dryer as an alternative to freeze drying and assessed its effects on biomolecular quality parameters. The results showed that solar drying is a cost-effective and sustainable technology for preserving microalgal biomass for food and feed markets.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of diets containing vitiviniculture waste on intake, digestibility, water balance, nitrogen balance, ingestive behavior, performance, and carcass traits of lambs. The results showed that feeding lambs with diets containing 216 g/kg cactus pear and 144 g/kg vitiviniculture waste resulted in higher intake and digestibility.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel phytase in terms of phytate hydrolysis and the digestibility of phosphorus and calcium in broiler chickens fed low and high phytate diets. The results showed that the phytase effectively hydrolyzed phytate and increased digestible phosphorus and calcium. The response to dietary phytate varied in terms of age and the specific nutrient being evaluated.
