The main objective of this study is to explore the potential use of date seed powder in improving the oxidative stability of some meat products; beef and chicken burgers. The phytochemical analysis of date seed powder revealed its significant antioxidant potential, including high DPPH scavenging activity (81.38%), low IC50 value (0.59 mg/mL), and substantial levels of phenolics (2.53 mg/g), flavonoids ...

Olive fruits(Olea europaeaL)have several health and nutritional benefits duetotheir high contents of antioxidant compounds. This study evaluatedthehepato-renal toxic effectsof pickled olive fruits that weretreated with acidblack nigrosine dye (ABND) in mice.Twenty male Swiss albino mice (CD-1) were used to determine themedian lethal dose (LD50) of ABND.Then otherfortymalemice were equally divided into 4 groups (N = 10) as follows: Group1 (Gp1) ...

Date kernel is a plant-derived byproduct that has the potential to be converted into a high-value-added food ingredient, such as protein concentrate, in the food industry. Ultrasound, whichis an alternative method for improving the functional properties of food proteins, is an effectivephysical treatment for modifying protein functionality. Solubility is the main criterion that primarilyaffects other functional properties of protein concentrates, ... Read more

Recently, foodborne diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria have been expanding. This requires searching for ways to control or get rid of these diseases. Using bacteriophages to control, prevent, and treatment of foodborne diseases is one of the most important actions due to their killer effect on bacteria. Many species of pathogenic bacteria can be transmitted through food, including _Citrobacter_ _freundii_ ... Read more

This study aimed to determine the effect of dairy productsconsumptionandcertainphysicalactivitiesonbonemineral density (BMD) and mass index (BMI) as rates forosteoporosis and obesity used.BMI was classified asunderweight (ght (18.5–24.9 BMI),overweight (25–24.9 BMI), Overweight (25-29.9 BMI) andobese (˃ 30 BMI) are considered as the obesity degree.BMD was measured for the right foot using a pDEXAdensitometer with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)and expressed asa T-score ...

This study designed to determine the effects of dairy products (milk, yogurt and cheese) intake and some physical activities (walking, running and using elevators) on bone mineral density (BMD) and body mass index (BMI) which are used as indicators of Osteoporosis and Obesity respectively. BMI was calculated by dividing weight (kg) by the square of height (m2) and classified as ... Read more

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in chemical composition, total phenolic compounds content, phytate content and free radical scavenging abilities against DPPH assay during soaking and germination of three cereal grains; wheat (Sids 1), corn (H310 White) and sorghum (Giza 15). On the other hand, the present work is also aimed to use the fractions of those ... Read more

_This investigation was carried out to study the possibility of using some cereal milling fractions as natural antioxidants__source to improve the oxidative stability of beef burgers. The %DPPH scavenging activity of cereal grain fractions cleared that the sorghum milling fractions recorded the highest antioxidants activity (37.28-50.52%) compared with other grains milling fractions. The ability to scavenge DPPH radicals by fractions ... Read more

The aim of this work to investigate the changes in total phenolic content and free radical scavenging abilities against the stable 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH assay) during soaking and germination of three cereal grains; wheat (Sids 1), corn (H310 White) and sorghum (Giza 15) grown in Sohag Governorate, Egypt. Total phenolic compounds in wheat, sorghum and corn were 381.4, 288.5 and ... Read more
