Beans are food with high nutritional value. In the history of human diet beans are found in use very early, and availability throughout the year enables its wide application. In Bosnia and Herzegovina beans are common ingredients which are an integral part of a meal, especially during the winter. The aim of this paper is to give contribution to the selection of local varieties of beans by highlighting energy and nutritional value of raw grains. The tests in this study included three local varieties of beans, namely Bosna, Darko and Igman in order to assess the levels of carbohydrate, protein and fat (energy content) and the content of minerals (copper, iron, phosphorus, manganese and magnesium). Test results indicate that content of dry matter and water is not conditioned by varietal differences, but the total fat content varies from 0.84% (Bosna) to 1.73% (Darko), and total sugar of 2.4% (Bosna) to 3.36% (Darko and Igman). Protein content compared to the dry matter ranged from 21.18% (Darko) to 25.28% in Bosna. Starch content ranged from 65.78% (Igman) to 67.04% (Bosna). The tested varieties of beans contained significant amounts of trace elements, thus in 100g raw grains there is: up to 69.7% of magnesium, up to 59.2% of phosphorus, up to 79.8% of manganese, up to 42.2% iron  and up to 64,1% copper of the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances - the total daily needs).

In this study, physical and chemical properties (dry matter, ash, moisture, protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate, starch, amylose, and vitamin C) of sweet potato tuber and flour of Anggun 1 cultivar were evaluated at different conditions. During peeling, the tuber and flour were processed subjected to three different conditions, which were unpeeled tubers (C1), peeled tubers (C2), and skin of tuber only (C3). From the results, the highest (p < 0.05) dry matter was observed in C1 while higher contents of ash, moisture, and protein were found in C3. Regarding the fat and vitamin C content, no significant differences (p > 0.05) were found between each condition. The highest fiber, carbohydrate, and amylose content (p < 0.05) were found in C1. The C1 and C2 reflected significantly higher (p < 0.05) starch content. Overall, these results provide important information about the peeling effect on the physical and chemical properties of Anggun 1. The information could be used as adding value to healthy food in the Malaysian diet due to the nutritional value of sweet potato.

The loss of genetic diversity due to the replacement of local tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) varieties by improved cultivars has been mitigated in many cases by the good work of organic farmers in maintaining local agricultural biodiversity. In parallel to these initiatives, in recent years, consumers have developed an increasing awareness of both food-related health, environmental issues, and food demand to recover the flavors of the past. In the case of tomatoes, these attributes (nutritional, organoleptic, social, and environmental) are closely related to organic production using local varieties. “Malacara” tomato is an example of a local variety. Coming from Sierra de Cádiz, it is a varietal type called “Cuelga” (“for hanging,” because the tomato trusses are hung from beams in the farmhouses). Cultivated and harvested in the open air during the summer months, these tomatoes are commercialized and consumed in the winter. Historically, this variety has enabled the fresh consumption of tomatoes during the winter, without the need to force cultivation. It is highly appreciated in the local cuisine and is the basis for sauces figuring in typical dishes. Its characteristic traits are small, pallid fruits, and long shelf life. The main objective of this work has been to typify two Malacara tomato cultivars (red and yellow color) grown under organic farming conditions, through the characterization of morphological, nutritional, and volatile parameters. The main differences are due to morphological parameters (fruit weight and color of the exocarp and endocarp). Other characteristics such as the content of ash, fiber, moisture, the concentration of iron, magnesium, and calcium, and content of lycopene are different between both cultivars. This study provides information on the nutritional and aromatic composition of two Malacara tomato cultivars, differentiated by their color and grown under organic farming conditions. The results add value to the native horticultural heritage and can aid in the selection of tomato varieties suitable for a sustainable production system and to produce tomatoes with high nutritional value and rich in aroma.

In this study, the chemical compositions and sugar profiles of seventeen local cultivars and two foreign chestnut hybrids, grown in the Marmara Region, Turkey, were examined. The results showed that chestnut hybrids and cultivars have 58.12-69.83 total carbohydrates, 10.59-22.38 total sugars, 2.41-3.41 invert sugar, 6.15-12.44 total protein, 2.09-4.36 ash and 0.87-2.61 total fat values (g 100 g-1 dry matter basis). It was determined that chestnut cultivars generally have over 50% water content and higher starch content (40.99-53.16 g 100 g-1). The sucrose contents of the cultivars were higher than the other sugars. Sucrose, glucose and fructose contents were 10.77-21.66, 0.33-1.13, and 0.15-0.79, respectively (g 100 g-1 dry matter basis). These results stated that chestnuts have rich nutritive substances for human nutrition and health.

The nutritional value of water-damaged wheat and free-flowing wheat from temporary bulk stores at Goondiwindi was determined. Each was fed to meat chickens as the sole grain component or combined in several proportions, and compared with a control wheat in diets of similar nutrient composition. In addition, the nutrient composition of water-damaged and free-flowing wheat from temporary stores at Meeandarra, Thallon, Jandowae and Millmerran in southern Queensland was determined.A progressive reduction in the ratio of total amino acids to crude protein (0.98-0-70 w/w) and innitrogen-free extract (789-685 g kg-1 dry matter) was associated with increasing severity of water damage. Ether extract and gross energy contents of the dry matter were low in water-damaged wheat from all sites, but only the wheat with the most damage had a lower metabolizable energy content (12.99 versus 14.12 MJ kg-1) in the dry matter and as a proportion of gross energy (71% versus 76%) than free-flowing wheat from the same site.The three diets containing high levels of rotten (two diets) and severely water-damaged wheat (one diet) resulted in an average liveweight gain (26.1 g day-1) and feed conversion (1.86) which was poorer than that of the free-flowing wheat (28.1 g day-1, 1.59) and the average of other less water-damaged wheat treatments (29.7 g day-1, 1.57). The higher average liveweight gain of the latter treatments relative to the free-flowing wheat and control (27.3 g day-1) treatments was significant but was not reflected in better feed conversion. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed.

The digestibility and voluntary intake of P. coloratum CV. Kabulabula, P. coloratum var. Makarikariense CV. Burnett and C.P.I. 13372, P. maximum var. trichoglume CV. Petrie Green Panic, P. maximum cv. Coloniao guinea grass and Hamil were measured with sheep in metabolism pens. Each grass was cut eight to ten times at different growth stages and times of the year. Varieties differed (P<0.01) in their dry matter and organic matter digestibility but the maximum mean difference between varieties was only 2.8 and 3.4 per cent respectively. There were large differences in voluntary intake between grasses. P. maximum cv. Hamil had a voluntary intake 50 and 27 per cent greater than P. coloratum cv. Kabulabula when both had p dry matter digestibility of 50 and 60 per cent respectively. Voluntary intake of digestible organic matter of P. maximum CV. Hamil was 26 per cent higher than that of P. coloratum CV. Kabulabula. The higher intake of P. maximm occurred despite its having higher silicon percentages than P. coloratum. It was concluded that because of the biased relation between intake and digestibility selection of grasses on the basis of digestibility determinations alone could be a misleading guide to their nutritional value.

Abstract Introduction. Foodstuffs of special nutritional use and dietary supplements, especially in the case of sportsmen, have been known and widely used in human nutrition, nourishment, and convalescence for many years. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional value of two groups of special dietary formulations and, in particular, to compare the nutrient and energy content declared by producers with that revealed by the present analyses. Material and methods. The nutritional value of two groups of formulations was assessed. The first group comprised formulations for undernourished subjects or those with contraindications to use diets with normal content of proteins and/or fats. The second group of formulations included products intended for strengthening the organism and targeted mainly at sportsmen. Samples of purchased products were analyzed for the content of basic components: dry matter, total protein, crude fat, crude ash, and structural carbohydrates. The content of carbohydrates and energy value was calculated mathematically. Additionally, the content of selected minerals (calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese) was determined. Results. The content of carbohydrates, proteins, and especially fat in the chemical composition of the analyzed products declared by the producers differed from the levels determined in this study. In the mineral composition, differences were noted in the content of macroelements, while the content of micronutrients did not differ from the declared values. Despite the differences in the composition, the declared and calculated calorific values in all formulations were similar. Conclusions. There were differences between the declared and determined contents of nutrients in the analyzed formulations. The labels of the special-purpose industrial formulations purchased in pharmacies provided more information about their composition and nutritional value, whereas the information presented on the labels of the athlete supplements were less informative. Consumption of the supplements, in particular those dedicated for sportsmen, should be supervised by a doctor or dietitian.

Cow's milk is a food of high nutritional value for human diet, however, there is a need to comply with the norms suggested by Normative Instruction 62, to meet quality parameters. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of corn silage and milk, to verify if they are in accordance with the current legislation IN 62 and to verify the influence of the level of technification of some producers of the region of Morrinhos Goiás. Of the region, and applied a questionnaire to identify the degree of technification, classified as Specialized (ES), Semi-Specialized (SE). At the same time silage samples were collected at different points in the silos to evaluate pH, dry matter (DM), ash and crude protein (CP). Somatic cell counts (CCS), bacterial counts (CBT), fat and protein were quantified to evaluate milk quality. It was verified that the silage samples were with high percentage of ash, which causes loss in their quality. There was no difference between levels of gross protein technology. The CCS of the SE system was 392.40 higher than in the ES, CBT obtained higher value in ES. All variables are within the limits required by IN 62.

This paper reports on a study of 62 collection cultivars of Sudangrass evaluated by economic traits for 4 years to create new source material for the Sudangrass selection of higher nutritional value adapted to the Cis-Ural steppe. The research revealed some highly productive and early-maturing Sudangrass cultivars for selecting new varieties highly adaptive to local agro-climatic conditions. Early ripening varieties Chishminskaia ranniaia, Yaktash, Demskaia, Smena, Novosibirskaia 84, Lira had 81-85 days of the interphase period from full sprouts to complete seed ripeness. Highly productive Anastasia, Aiusha, Zernogradskaia 576, and Alexandrina varieties had a fresh yield of more than 41.9 t/ha. Demskaia, Anastasia, Alexandrina, Aiusha had good nutritional qualities of fresh yield (with 10.04 – 10.51% protein and 7.80 – 10.01% sugar in dry matter): In 2017, the State Variety Testing of a new Sudangrass cultivar Demskaia started. The middle-early Sudangrass variety Demskaia has an average yield of 47.1 t/ha of green mass, 8.14 t/ha of absolutely dry matter, and 2.59 t/ha of seeds.
