Background: Soybean milk by-product (SMBP) is a potential alternative feed ingredient in swine diets due to its high protein content. However, information on energy and nutritional values of SMBP used as swine feed ingredient is limited. Objective: To estimate energy values and protein digestibility of SMBP in pigs based on in vitro assays. Methods: Four SMBP samples were obtained from 3 soybean milk-producing facilities. In vitro total tract disappearance (IVTTD) and in vitro ileal disappearance (IVID) of dry matter (DM) in the SMBP samples were determined. In vitro ileal disappearance of crude protein was determined by analyzing crude protein content in undigested residues after determining IVID of DM. Digestible and metabolizable energy of SMBP were estimated using gross energy, IVTTD of DM, and prediction equations. Results: Sample 4 had greater IVTTD of DM than that of sample 3 (97.7 vs. 94.4%, p<0.05), whereas IVID of DM in sample 4 was lower compared with sample 1 (53.5 vs. 65.0%, p<0.05). In vitro ileal disappearance of crude protein in sample 2 was greater than that in sample 1 and 3 (92.6 vs. 90.6 and 90.1%; p<0.05). The estimated metabolizable energy of SMBP ranged from 4,311 to 4,619 kcal/kg as-is basis and the value of sample 3 was the least (p<0.05) among SMBP samples. Conclusion: Energy values and protein digestibility should be determined before using SMBP in swine diets.

The philosophy inherent in developing in vitro digestibility assays for dietary energy and protein is reviewed and an historical account is given of the development of such assays for the pig. General principles to be considered in the development of in vitro digestibility assays are discussed, as are limitations of the in vitro approach. The importance of choosing the most appropriate in vivo measures of digestibility for the evaluation of in vitro assays is stressed. For protein sources that do not contain anti-nutritional factors or plant fibre, ‘true’ ileal digestibility should be the in vivo baseline, while plant proteins should be tested against ‘real’ ileal digestibility. There is a dearth of adequately conducted validation studies for in vitro digestibility assays. It appears that the 3-step (pepsin, pancreatin, Viscozyme) closed in vitro system to allow prediction of organic matter and gross energy digestibility in the pig has particular promise for practical feed evaluation. Similarly based protein digestibility assays may require further development before they can be applied with confidence.

Protein Digestibility of Kapok Seeds in Vitro for Fish Feed        Kapok seeds is a by-product of agricultural industry having potential to be used as raw material for fish feed as a source of protein and essential fats. The content of the protein in the kapok seed  flour is 28 – 34 % that is an overwhelming amount to be a great source of protein for fish feed. Feasibility studies are needed, however, the use of kapok seed based on the digestibility of the protein. Pepsin with concentrations of 0.02; 0.2; and 2 % (in 0.075 N HCl solution) kapok seed flour added in three repetitions to test the digestibility of kapok seed invitro. Undigested protein was then analyzed using the kjeldahl method. Determination optimal concentration of pepsin was calculated based on the remaining undigested proteins (pepsin indigest) and compared the amount of protein digestibility of proteins obtained before (pepsin digest). The research results revealed that to digestibility of protein on concentration of 0.02; 0,20 and 2,0 % was 64,43; 68,42; 65,33%. Statistical test Anova revealed any significant differences of treatment respectively of  protein digestibility. Test of Least Square Difference (LSD) stated that each  treatment significantly different.

Effects of processing on protein structure and its nutritional consequences, and progress towards development of more rapid in vitro assays of nutritional quality are reviewed. Heat and/or alkali processing of proteins initiates Maillard and carbonylamine reactions, causes β-elimination of cystinyl and substituted seryl and threonyl residues, and causes racemization of certain residues. Depending on the extent of these reactions, as determined by the severity of processing conditions, resulting changes may adversely affect bioavailability. Chemical methods for assaying quality have been developed such as the “Chemical Score,” which is based on amino acid analysis of acid hydrolysates, and methods for determining available lysine by reaction with FDNB. Recently a more rapid fluorometric method for measuring available lysine based on reaction with o-phthalaldehyde and mercaptoethanol was developed. Progress is also being made toward improvement of amino acid scores by replacing acid hydrolysis with total enzymic hydrolysis, which should be sensitive to chemical modifications of residues that are eliminated by acid hydrolysis. Reactors containing combinations of immobilized proteinases and peptidases are being characterized for this purpose. Some improvement of amino acid scores is also afforded by adjustments for protein digestibility. Studies of model digestive systems composed of immobilized gastric, pancreatic and intestinal mucosal proteinases and peptidases indicate that such systems may provide parameters reflecting bioavailability.

Mealworm larvae (Tenebrio molitor) are edible insects consumed in feed and food. In the current study, the optimal harvesting time of mealworm larvae for use as aquafeed was investigated during the ages of 30–90 days after hatching (DAH). Development of digestive enzymes, proximate composition, and in vitro protein digestibility using digestive enzymes from African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), were used as criteria. The specific activities of pepsin and trypsin significantly decreased with age (p < 0.05) from the first harvesting time until 50 and 45 DAH, respectively, while steadiness in these enzyme activities was observed onwards. Chymotrypsin specific activity appeared constant across all harvesting times. The specific activity of amylase significantly decreased in the later stages of development, while cellulase exhibited a different pattern suggesting it has a major role in dietary fiber utilization relative to starch. Regarding proximate compositions of the mealworm larvae, the moisture and ash contents decreased significantly with age, while the protein content exhibited the opposite trend with the highest contents from 60 to 90 DAH. Crude lipid was generally fairly constant, but its lowest value was observed in the earliest stage. In vitro protein digestibility was not significantly different across all harvesting times for both fish species, except for the significantly decreased digestibility value at 65 DAH relative to 30 and 35 DAH for Nile tilapia. However, based on the economic benefits of time for growth increment and proximate chemical composition, approximately 60 DAH is proposed as suitable for harvesting mealworm larvae to be used in fish feed.

Onggok adalah hasil produk samping pengolahan ubi kayu menjadi tapioka yang berpotensi dikembangkan sebagai bahan baku pakan ikan. Permasalahan yang dihadapi yaitu kecernaan onggok masih relatif rendah sehingga perlu ditingkatkan melalui teknik fermentasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi kemampuan bakteri B. megaterium SS4b dalam menyederhanakan nutrien kompleks dari onggok, serta menentukan dosis bakteri yang sesuai untuk proses tersebut. Penelitian ini terdiri atas dua tahap yaitu: 1) penentuan aktivitas enzim selulase, amilase, dan protease bakteri B. megaterium SS4b secara semi-kualitatif; 2) penentuan dosis inokulum yang efektif untuk proses fermentasi onggok (0%, 3%, 6%, dan 9%). Parameter yang diukur meliputi glukosa terlarut/gula pereduksi, protein terlarut, protein kasar, serat kasar, dan kecernaan protein secara in vitro. Percobaan dilakukan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan beda dosis bakteri untuk fermentasi onggok dan tiga ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa B. megaterium SS4b memiliki aktivitas selulase, amilase, dan protease, serta mampu menghidrolisis onggok. Dosis penambahan isolat bakteri sebanyak 9% pada kepadatan 1011 sel/mL dan inkubasi selama 72 jam merupakan dosis terbaik dalam meningkatkan kualitas nutrien onggok. Proses fermentasi ini dapat meningkatkan kandungan protein terlarut, kecernaan protein, ketersediaan gula pereduksi, dan penurunan serat onggok berturut-turut adalah sebesar 2,9 kali, tiga kali, satu kali, dan enam kali dibandingkan dengan kontrol.Cassava starch residue is a by-product in tapioca production that has the potential to be used as one of the ingredients in fish feed. The problem was that the digestibility of cassava starch residue was relatively low but could be improved through fermentation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of B. megaterium SS4b bacteria in simplifying the nutrient complex of cassava starch residue and determine the appropriate bacterial dose for the process. The study consisted of two stages: 1) determining, semi-qualitatively, the activity of cellulase, amylase, and protease enzyme of B. megaterium SS4; 2) determining the effective inoculum dose for the fermentation process of cassava starch residue (0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%). Parameters measured included dissolved glucose/reducing sugar, dissolved protein, crude protein, crude fibre, and protein digestibility in vitro. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four different treatments of bacterial dose for fermentation of cassava starch residue and three replicates. The results showed that B. megaterium SS4b has cellulase, amylase, and protease activities and was able to hydrolyze cassava starch residue. The dosage level of the bacterial isolate at 9% with a density of 1011 cells mL-1 and incubation for 72 hours was the best treatment in improving the nutrient quality of cassava starch residue. This fermentation process could increase soluble protein content, protein digestibility, availability of reducing sugar, and decrease significantly the fiber content of cassava starch residue

SummaryThe limitations of currently used in vitro assays of heparin have demonstrated the need for an in vivo method suitable for routine use.The in vivo method which is described in this paper uses, for each heparin preparation, four groups of five mice which are injected intravenously with heparin according to a “2 and 2 dose assay” procedure. The method is relatively rapid, requiring 3 to 4 hours to test five heparin preparations against a standard preparation of heparin. Levels of accuracy and precision acceptable for the requirements of the British Pharmacopoeia are obtained by combining the results of 3 to 4 assays of a heparin preparation.The similarity of results obtained the in vivo method and the in vitro method of the British Pharmacopoeia for heparin preparations of lung and mucosal origin validates this in vivo method and, conversely, demonstrates that the in vitro method of the British Pharmacopoeia gives a reliable estimation of the in vivo activity of heparin.

SummaryFactor IX concentrates manufactured from human plasma and intended for therapeutic infusion in man have been suspected for some time of being potentially thrombogenic. In the current studies, assays were carried out in vitro and in vivo for potentially thrombogenic materials. It was possible to rank the various materials tested according to the amount of thrombogenic material detected. For concentrates not containing heparin, there was substantial agreement between the in vivo and in vitro assays, with a coefficient of correlation of 0.77. There was no correlation between the assays for thrombogenicity and the antithrombin III content. We conclude that many presently available concentrates of Factor IX contain substantial amounts of potentially thrombogenic enzymes, and that this fact must be considered in arriving at the decision whether or not to use them therapeutically.

Aim and Objective: Lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes play an important role in the pathophysiology of several inflammatory and allergic diseases including bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Inhibitors of the LOX are believed to be an ideal approach in the treatment of diseases caused by its over-expression. In this regard, several synthetic and natural agents are under investigation worldwide. Alkaloids are the most thoroughly investigated class of natural compounds with outstanding past in clinically useful drugs. In this article, we have discussed various alkaloids of plant origin that have already shown lipoxygenase inhibition in-vitro with possible correlation in in silico studies. Materials and Methods: Molecular docking studies were performed using MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) software. Among the ten reported LOX alkaloids inhibitors, derived from plant, compounds 4, 2, 3 and 1 showed excellent docking scores and receptor sensitivity. Result and Conclusion: These compounds already exhibited in vitro lipoxygenase inhibition and the MOE results strongly correlated with the experimental results. On the basis of these in vitro assays and computer aided results, we suggest that these compounds need further detail in vivo studies and clinical trial for the discovery of new more effective and safe lipoxygenase inhibitors. In conclusion, these results might be useful in the design of new and potential lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitors.
