Enhanced bioavailability of iron from mungbeans and its effects on health of schoolchildren
Author: P. Vijayalakshmi
Publisher: AVRDC-WorldVegetableCenter
ISBN: 929058128X
Category : Food
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
This report presents the findings of a feeding trial based on mungbean supplementation that was conducted among schoolchildren in southern India. The feeding trial lasted one year and included 225 children. Health parameters and physical stamina of children were examined before and after supplementation for three treatment groups and one control group. One treatment group received a traditionally prepared dish with a normal in vitro iron bioavailability at around 7% while two groups received iron bioavailability-enhanced dishes at around 12%. The results indicate that supplementation improved health parameters.

The Mungbean Genome
Author: Ramakrishnan M. Nair
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030200086
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This book reports on the current global status of mungbean and its economic importance. Mungbean (Vigna radiata)—also called green gram—is an important food and cash crop in the rice-based farming systems of South and Southeast Asia, but is also grown in other parts of the world. Its short duration, low input requirement and high global demand make mungbean an ideal rotation crop for smallholder farmers. The book describes mungbean collections maintained by various organizations and their utilization, especially with regard to adapting mungbean to new environments. It provides an overview of the progress made in breeding for tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses; nutritional quality enhancement including genomics approaches; and outlines future challenges for mungbean cultivation. In addition, genomic approaches to evaluating the evolutionary relationship between Vigna species and addressing questions concerning domestication, adaptation and genotype–phenotype relationships are also discussed

Book Description
Humanity has made enormous progress in the past 50 years toward eliminating hunger and malnutrition. Some five billion people--more than 80 percent of the world's population--have enough food to live healthy, productive lives. Agricultural development has contributed significantly to these gains, while also fostering economic growth and poverty reduction in some of the world's poorest countries.

Non-Traditional Feeds for Use in Swine Production (1992)
Author: Phillip Thacker
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351359789
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 745
Book Description
Feed represents the single greatest expense associated with bringing pigs to market weight. Therefore, if you can reduce the cost of feeding without detriment to pig performance, the economics of swine production will improve. The ingredient list for swine rations has become fairly limited, and the majority of diets fed to pigs consist of a few staples, such as corn, wheat, barley, and soybean meal. Non-Traditional Feeds for Use in Swine Production explores over fifty non-traditional feedstuffs in terms of their nutritional content and their viability as alternative, cost effective food sources
