Effects of Allicin on Lipid Metabolism and Antioxidant Activity in Chickens

To investigate the effects of allicin on chickens＇ lipid and antioxidant performance, Hy-laying hens＇ diets were replenished with 0 mg · kg-1, 50 mg · kg-1, 100 mg · kg-1, and 150 mg · kg-1 allicin for 42 days, respectively. The alanine aminotransferase（ALT）, aspartate aminotransferase（AST）, triglyceride（TG）, total cholesterol（TCHO）, high density lipoprotein（HDL）, and low density lipoprotein（LDL） levels were measured in chicken serum. Superoxide dismutase（SOD）, glutathione peroxidase（GSH-Px） activity and malondialdehyde（MDA） levels were measured in chicken serum and liver tissue homogenate. The results showed that the supplement dose of allicin tested did not significantly change the activity of ALT or AST（P〉0.05）; TG and CHOL levels decreased with the increase of allicin additive doses, and the difference between treatment groups and CG was significant（P〈0.05）, and there was the best effect with 100 mg · kg-1; allicin significantly reduced the content of MDA, and increased SOD and GSH-Px activities compared with CG（P〈0.05）, and 100 mg · kg-1 of allicin resulted in the strongest SOD and GSH-Px activity. The antioxidant function test results of liver tissue homogenate were consistant with that of serum. Our findings indicated that allicin could enhance antioxidant capacity and reduce blood lipid level in chickens and 100 mg · kg-1 was the optimal amount of allicin additives.

Effects of Drying Processes on the Antioxidant Properties in Sweet Potatoes

The effects of different drying methods （hot-air drying, microwave drying and vacuum-freeze drying） on the antioxidant activity and antioxidants in sweet potato （lpomoea batatas L. Lain.） tubers were investigated to determine the potential drying process. Sweet potato tubers were cut into 5 mm thick slices, steamed at 100℃ for 10 rain, then dried in either hotair, microwave, or vacuum-freeze. The dried sweet potatoes in microwave possessed the highest antioxidant activity, while the lowest activity was observed in hot-air dried samples. The phenolic contents were positively correlated with scavenging activity and reducing power of DPPH^＋. The microwave drying retains the highest antioxidant activity with the highest content of phenolic compounds in dried sweet potatoes. β-carotene and ascorbic acid showed minor contribution to the antioxidant activity in dried sweet potatoes.     

Sensitivities of Phytophthora infestans to Metalaxyl, Cymoxanil, and Dimethomorph

The isolates of Phytophthora infestans on tomato in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, were determined for the sensitivities to metalaxyl, cymoxanil and dimethomorph to give the basic information for integrating disease management. Sensitivities were tested by measuring the radial growth on agar medium amended with fungicide, compared with the floating-leaf-disk method. 239 isolates were collected from eight tomato growing areas during 2000-2006. The testing results indicated that the frequencies of sensitive, intermediate, and resistant isolates to metalaxyl were 42.26, 35.98, and 23.53%, respectively. Variations in sensitivities amongst isolates from different areas or different years were very high for metalaxyl. All isolates from Tianlin and Wuxuan were sensitive to metalaxyl, but the metalaxyl-resistant isolates predominated in Tianyang, with the frequency of 51.35%. The EC50 values of certain isolates from Tianyang were higher than 500 μg·mL^-1 and their resistance levels were over 100 000 folds. Cymoxanil has been used for nearly 10 years in Guangxi, and dimethomorph has been used for 5-6 years. However, there was no decrease in sensitivity of P. infestans populations and the sensitivities of the pathogen were nearly normally distributed. Hence, their mean ECs0 value [cymoxanil （0.1647 ±0.0255） μg·mL^-1, dimethomorph （0.0970 ± 0.0052） μg·mL^-1 could be used as the baseline sensitivities for monitoring the field resistance development. The comparison with the floating-leaf-disk method indicates that both the techniques provided equivalent results. These studies suggested that metalaxyl can be continuously applied in Tianlin, Wuxuan, and Nanning due to the resistant isolates that have not been found, while for those areas with resistant isolate, the use of metalaxyl should be reduced or alternated, and cymoxanil or dimethomorph was recommended for controlling late blight disease of tomato.     

Simultaneous Determination of Hexoestrol,Diethylstilbestrol, Estrone and 17-Beta-estradiol in Feed by Gas Chromatography-mass Spectrometry

A method was developed for the simultaneous determination of four kinds of estrogens(hexoestrol, diethylstilbestrol, estrone, and 17-beta-estradiol) in feed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). After the sample was extracted by ethyl ether and cleaned-up on HLB phase extraction column, four kinds of estrogens were derived and quantified in gas chromatographymass spectrometry. The results showed that the linear detectable ranged from 2.5 ng·mL~(-1) to 250 ng·mL~(-1) for hexoestrol and from 5 ng·mL~(-1) to 500 ng·mL~(-1) for three other estrogens with the correlation coefficients(R~2) were no less than 0.990. The recoveries were in the range of 76.34%-96.33% and the relative standard deviation was no more than 22.7%. The limits of quantitation(LOQ) for all analytics were between 10 ug·kg~(-1) and 20 ug·kg~(-1).The method was accurate and sensitive and could meet the actual requirements for the analyses of feed samples.     

Diversity of Antioxidant Content and Its Relationship to Grain Color and Morphological Characteristics in Winter Wheat Grains

The current interest in the health beneifts of whole wheat grain has prompted breeders to further increase the concentration of antioxidants in wheat. The objective of this study was to investigate the variation in antioxidant content among Chinese wheat grains and the relationship between antioxidants and grain color and morphological characteristics. A wide variation was observed in the total phenolic, carotenoid and lfavonoid contents, as well as the antioxidant activity （AOA）, of Chinese wheat varieties. Black wheat had the highest mean total phenolic, carotenoid and lfavonoid contents and the highest AOA, followed by red and white wheats. The grain color parameters were signiifcantly negatively correlated with total phenolic, carotenoid and lfavonoid contents and AOA among all of the wheat varieties examined, and grain weight was also signiifcantly negatively correlated with these traits. The same correlation between grain weight and antioxidant traits was also observed within individual groups of wheat, which indicates that grain weight may be used as an index for selecting wheat varieties with high AOA. Landraces had signiifcantly higher lfavonoid content than commercial wheat varieties. The results of this study may be useful for breeding nutrient-rich wheat varieties.     

Antioxidations and Their Correlations with Total Flavones and Anthocyanin Contents in Different Black Rice Varieties

The antioxidations and their correlations with total flavones and anthocyanin contents in different black rice varieties were studied. The results indicated that the great differences in total antioxidant capacity （TAC）, scavenging free radical capacity （SFRC）, total flavones and anthocyanin contents existed among 242 black rice varieties. Comparisons of TAC, SFRC, total flavones and anthocyanin contents of different black rice types showed that the differences between black rice and white rice, indica one and japonica one, and nonglutinous one and glutinous one were significant at 0.01 levels, respectively. This showed that the TAC, SFRC, total flavones and anthocyanin contents of japonica type were higher than those of indica one, and nonglutinous type were higher than glutinous one. According to the fast clustering procedure, 242 black rice varieties could be clustered into 10 clusters, 184 indica rice varieties into 10 clusters, and 58 japonica rice varieties into 6 clusters. Most significant （P〈0.01） correlations existed between TAC and total flavones and anthocyanin contents, and between SFRC and total flavones and anthocyanin contents of black rice, respectively. This showed that the antioxidation of black rice was closely correlated with its active compositions of flavones and anthocyanin.

Physiological Mechanisms of Delaying Leaf Senescence in Maize Treated with Compound Mixtures of DCPTA and CCC

At the beginning of silking, maize production began to form, but leaves started senescence and photosynthetic capacity decreased at this time, all of those severely restricted the formation of the production. In order to study the effects of exogenous substances on the process of leaf senescence, 40 mg · L-1 DCPTA and 20 mg · L-1 CCC were mixed in the research. When the maize grew to the six expanded leaves stage, 10 m L compound mixtures(TR) were sprayed on both sides of leaves for per plant, and the control was treated with water(CK). Three plants were selected randomly for determination of physiological index at the 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 days after silking. The results showed that TR could increase the chlorophyll content signifi cantly, Fv/F m, Fv/F0 and Y(II) values of TR were higher than those of CK while F0 values were opposite. Compared with CK, TR increased SOD and POD activity and soluble protein content, reduced MDA content. Correlation analysis showed that chlorophyll content had negative correlation with F0, and MDA content had negative correlation with other indexes. Compared with CK, TR reduced the negative correlation effect between chlorophyll content and MDA, increased the positive correlation effect between chlorophyll content and Fv/F m, SOD, POD, soluble protein. The study provided theoretical and experimental evidence for the application of the compound mixtures of DCPTA and CCC to the production.
