Effect of different binders and encapsulation techniques in the structure and functional properties of microdiets for fish larvae by Ana Grenha, Jorge Dias, Sofia Engrola, Marisol Izquierdo, Manuel Yúfera

“…The development of high-performing micro-particulate diets for fish larvae requires a delicate balance between an adequate quantitative and qualitative nutritional supply and good water stability of the feeds, without compromising the palatability and the digestive breakdown. A series of binders, protein-based (e.g. fish gelatin, wheat gluten, spray-dried plasma) and carbohydrate-based (gums, alginates, pectins, starches, dextrin, polyols) were incorporated at graded levels (1, 2.5 and 5%) in a standard formulation for seabream larvae. …”

Changes in physico-chemical, cellular structure and antioxidant activities of Carissa congesta L. Fruit during growth and development by Mohammad, Mariani

“…As conclusions, it is clear that the quality of C. congesta fruit changed as it developed, matured and reached the stage of palatability. Since C. congesta fruits constitute a good vitamin and mineral source, high phenolic and antioxidant levels, it increases the value of this fruit to be commercialized as an economic alternative to the natural food colourant or pharmaceutical production.…”
