Legume

important piece of the nitrogen fixing process and most have a symbiotic relationship with legumes. Legume roots grow with nodules, and these nodules house the nitrogen fixing organisms known as rhizobium. These organisms are necessary for taking the atmospheric nitrogen and processing it into ammonia and other compounds in the soil. The nitrogenous compounds are then taken up by the plants (Bernhard, 2010). Legumes can be a natural solution to adding nitrogen to the soil in agriculture. One…

For dairy intake…

Legumes have been an important source of protein, carbohydrate, fat, minerals, vitamins and health- promoting compounds. Legumes play an important role in the traditional diets of the world population and are a valuable material for the food and animal feed industries (Schuszter-Gajzago, 2004). Pigeon pea is a perennial plant widely grown in the semi-arid tropics of Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Pigeon pea, besides its main use as dhal, fresh green seeds is used as a vegetable (Nene and…

carbohydrates, which are found in the majority of food that omnivores, humans especially, consume. The largest source of carbohydrates are almost all vegetables and fruits as well as grains, legumes, and a wide variety of processed foods consumed by humans.

The species Callosobruchus maculatus is known to be pestiferous, and has the potential to cause significant financial damage to legume agriculture. In the past decade, significant progress has been made to identity different materials capable of controlling pestiferous insect infestation without causing damage to plants or negatively affecting animals and humans. Herein, we investigate the effects of glucose, ethanol, acetic acid, and sodium hydroxide treatments on the mortality and fecundity of…

We organized them into three categories: cereals, legumes, and vegetable. Wheat and barley were cereal seeds, tomato and squash were vegetable seeds, and the beans and peas were legumes. We used paper towels, two plastic containers as our reaction chambers, a carbon dioxide sensor, an interface and laptop, a scale, and a weighing tray for this lab. Prior to the lab,…

This is one of the effective dietary therapies with particularly lower levels of fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs). FODMAPS are dietary carbohydrates that are osmotic in nature. Means they tend to pull water into the intestine. In SIBO, FODMAPs are poorly absorbed and are fermented by our intestinal bacteria. The fermented products are then as a food source by bacteria. However, this internal fermentation is not favorable for SIBO patients, as…
