We investigate the effect of formulation of the aqueous extract of three edibles mushrooms commonly consumed in Cameroon on oxidative stress induced in rats induced by lead acetate: Pleurotus pulmonarius, Pleurotus floridanus and Pleurotus sajor-caju. The formulation made of the three species (1w:1w:1w) were dissolved in distilled water for acute toxicity (at 2000 mg/kg of bw) and protective effect (at 400 mg/kg of bw for 21 days) against oxidative stress induced in vivo with lead acetate (35 mg/kg of bw for 3 days). Several parameters were investigated in the serum and organs homogenous such as lipid profile, hepatic and oxidative stress markers. No particular sign of toxicity of the extract were revealed. After lead administration, significant increases were found in serum transaminases activity, creatinine, and lipid profile associated with a decrease of serum protein content and High Density Lipoprotein. In addition, significant increase in lipid peroxidation expressed as the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreased level of reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities in serum, liver and kidney showed oxidative stress due to lead exposure. The pre-treatment with aqueous extract of the mushroom’s formulation showed protective effects against lead induced hepato-renal damage by improving antioxidant parameters, as well as ascorbic acid used as a reference. In conclusion, these mushrooms may be used as a natural source of antioxidants for food supplements against oxidative stress.","PeriodicalId":319691,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129935297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fish samples were obtained from two fish farms; A (Al-Batts drain) and B (El-Wadi drain), El-Fayoum governorate, Egypt. 16 components of PAHs concentration were determined by GC-MS. Results showed that the total concentration of PAHs recorded16.2 and 7.4 ppb sample of A- and B-smoked mullet fish products, respectively. Also, levels of Benzo [a] Pyrene (B {a} P) equivalent were 0.0378 and 0.029 ppb in A and B-products, respectively. Besides, content of Low molecular weight (LMW) components was higher in A-smoked mullet product than medium MW and vice versa in case B-smoked product however, high MW was not detected in products. In conclusion, PAHs concentration in smoked products processed from pre-frozen mullet samples for 6 months at -18°C are considered a minimally contaminated (16.2 ppb) for A-smoked product and not contaminated (7.4 ppb) for B-smoked product compared with recommended levels. In addition to the component of Benzo [a] Pyrene (B {a} P) was not detectable in all smoked fish products.","PeriodicalId":319691,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124992872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus the experiment was conducted during 2018/19 cropping season with an objective of evaluating the response of nitrogen fertilizer rate on growth, yield and yield components of malt barley varieties at West Arsi, Ethiopia. A factorial combination of five nitrogen levels (11.5, 23, 34.5, 46 and 57.5 kg N ha -1 ) and three malt barley varieties (Holker, Ibon and Fanaka) was laid down in a split plot arrangement nitrogen as main plot and varieties as subplot with in three replication. Malt barley yield and yield components were considered as experimental variable. Thus the result reveal that grain yield of malt barley was highly significant effect by interaction of nitrogen and varieties. While, days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, number of productive tillers, straw yield and number of grain per spike were significantly affected by both factors. Higher (2.75 t ha -1 ) grain yield was recorded from the combination of Ibon variety with 57.5 kg N ha -1 . Therefore from this research study it can be conclude that, fertilization of 57.5 kg/ha N fertilizer rate for Ibon variety was found to be better in terms of both agronomic performance and economic feasibility for malt barley production in the study area and similar agro ecology.","PeriodicalId":319691,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123294760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
