Book excerpt: The explosion of knowledge about satiety and hunger has given new meaning to our understanding of the genetics of obesity. New interest in gene expression as related to nutrition and advances in the field of macronutrients has made the latest nutrition research intriguing. Advanced Nutrition: Macronutrients adopts an integrated approach to the understanding of macronutrient nutrition. It provides scientific foundations of the current findings on energy balance, protein need, gene expression, and carbohydrate and lipid use, and maintains emphasis on the biochemical and physiological basis for nutrient need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenes of starvation have drawn the world's attention to Africa's agricultural and environmental crisis. Some observers question whether this continent can ever hope to feed its growing population. Yet there is an overlooked food resource in sub-Saharan Africa that has vast potential: native food plants. When experts were asked to nominate African food plants for inclusion in a new book, a list of 30 species grew quickly to hundreds. All in all, Africa has more than 2,000 native grains and fruitsâ€""lost" species due for rediscovery and exploitation. This volume focuses on native cereals, including: African rice, reserved until recently as a luxury food for religious rituals. Finger millet, neglected internationally although it is a staple for millions. Fonio (acha), probably the oldest African cereal and sometimes called "hungry rice." Pearl millet, a widely used grain that still holds great untapped potential. Sorghum, with prospects for making the twenty-first century the "century of sorghum." Tef, in many ways ideal but only now enjoying budding commercial production. Other cultivated and wild grains. This readable and engaging book dispels myths, often based on Western bias, about the nutritional value, flavor, and yield of these African grains. Designed as a tool for economic development, the volume is organized with increasing levels of detail to meet the needs of both lay and professional readers. The authors present the available information on where and how each grain is grown, harvested, and processed, and they list its benefits and limitations as a food source. The authors describe "next steps" for increasing the use of each grain, outline research needs, and address issues in building commercial production. Sidebars cover such interesting points as the potential use of gene mapping and other "high-tech" agricultural techniques on these grains. This fact-filled volume will be of great interest to agricultural experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and individuals concerned about restoring food production, environmental health, and economic opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Download or read book Chemistry and Significance of Condensed Tannins written by Richard W. Hemingway and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was developed from the proceedings of the first North American Tannin Conference held in Port. Angeles, Washington, August 1988. The objective of the conference was to bring together people with a common interest in condensed tannins and to promote interdisciplinary interactions that will lead to a better understanding of these important substances. Anot. her objective was the publicat. ion of this book because there has not been a monograph devoted to the chemistry and significance of tannins for several decades. The book is organized into sections dealing with the biosynthesis, structure, re actions, complexation with other biopolymers, biological significance, and use of tannins as specialty chemicals. The authors made a special attempt to focus on what we don't know as well as to provide a summary of what we do know in an effort to assist in planning future research. Our thanks go to the authors who so kindly contributed chapters and so pa tiently responded to our requests. We also thank Rylee Geboski and the Conference Assist. ance Staff, College of Forestry, Oregon State University, for their assistance in planning and conducting t. he conference, and Julia Wilson, Debbie Wolfe, Helen Coletka, and Nancy Greene of the Southern Forest Experiment Station, Pineville, Louisiana, who typed the chapt. ers. Linda Chalker-Scott was especially helpful in assisting us wit. h editing. Dick Hemingway is indebted t. o the staff of the Alexandria Forest.

Book excerpt: This concisely written book presents information on types of plant phenolics. The sole focus of this volume is on dietary tannins. It reviews the fact that tannins interact with dietary proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, digestive enzymes, and lower nutrient availability. This work reveals that in certain parts of the world, tannins also have been reported as carcinogenic. This literature comprehensively reviews chemistry and plant biochemistry, and methods of extraction. It also explains the harmful and toxic effects and remedies to alleviate dietary tannins. This useful resource is a must for all food scientists, nutritionists, biochemists, and animal scientists throughout the world.

Download or read book Identification of Two Interacting Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling for Condensed Tannin in Sorghum Grain and Grain Quality Analysis of a Sorghum Diverse Collection written by Wenwen Xiang and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tannin, a second metabolic product in sorghum, has been directly related to resistance to insects and birds. Tannin also impacts sorghum nutritional value. Previous studies have shown tannin content has a positive correlation with early season cold tolerance, an important agronomic trait. Sorghum contains condensed tannins in testa layer below the pericarp. The testa layer tannin is controlled by two complementary genes B1 and B2: tannins are present when both genes are dominant but absent when only one or none of these two is dominant. The purpose of this research is to identify and map QTLs associated with the presence of condensed tannins, analyze interaction of QTLs, and provide a potential path to dissect the more complex trait of early season cold tolerance in future studies. A population of 109 F6:7 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from the cross of a high tannin sorghum Shan Qui Red (SQR) and non-tannin line Tx430 was used in the mapping study. Two QTLs related to condense tannin presence in testa layer were mapped to chromosome 2 and 4, respectively. Strong epistatic interaction of these two QTLs was detected. The two QTLs together with their interaction explained 74% of the phenotypic variation. Sorghum grain quality traits, including kernel size, kernel hardness, protein and starch content, are complex traits which are directly related to sorghum nutritional value and market value. Association mapping is a promising method for complex quantitative traits analysis and dissection in plant science. Sorghum grain quality trait association analysis research is purposed to analyze large amount of grain quality data based on a diversity panel. A sorghum bicolor panel of 300 lines including germplasm derived from sorghum conversion program and elite commercial lines were established and served as diversity population for the association study. Phenotypic data of grain quality traits were collected by single kernel characterization system (SKCS) and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). Data analysis proved high diversity within the SB panel. A correlation between tannin presence and kernel hardness was also observed. Quality traits showed high consistence across years and environments.
