Soybean meal was subjected to autoclaving for different durations (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min) to alter its protein solubility index (PSI). As a result of autoclaving, the PSI of soybean meal was reduced from 85-64% but the protein quantity was not affected. Among amino acids, methionine and cystine...

Three legumes [field peas (P), chickpeas (CP) and faba beans (B)] were evaluated at two inclusion levels; 170 (L) and 350 g kg^-1 (H) in a 14-week experiment with triplicate groups of 97.9±6.1 g European seabass. A control diet included wheat meal, fish meal (FM) and a mixture of plant ingredients...

A new method of soybean meal processing has been developed, which may simplify the process of biodiesel production. This method, 'in situ transesterification', eliminates hexane extraction to remove the oil, combining the extraction and transesterification steps so as to synthesize biodiesel via a...

Bacterial protein meal (BPM) produced on natural gas was evaluated with respect to growth, nutrient digestibilities, feed conversion ratios, sensory quality, and histopathological indices in Atlantic salmon in saltwater. In the extruded diets, experimentally produced BPM accounted for 0, 10, or 20% ...

The Australian native freshwater fish Murray cod, Maccullochella peelii peelii, currently supports a fledgling inland aquaculture industry, which is thought to have considerable growth potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of two alternative protein sources (blood meal,...
