Caracterização química e bioquímica de sementes de Bauhinia variegata L.

Abstract

Abstract Abstract Abstract: Seeds of Bauhinia variegata were submitted to biochemical characterization through elementary analysis, protein fractioning and hemaglutinanting activity. The elementary analysis of seed showed high protein and lipid contents, with 29.41 and 14.89%, respectively. The linolenic acid was found in the lipidic constitution of the seeds and the mineral composition remained with in acceptable levels for the human consumption. The specific hemaglutinanting activity from different fractions of proteins (albumin, globulin, prolamin, glutelin acid and alkaline) demonstrated hemaglutinanting activity against native and enzyme treated rabbit erythrocytes. However, the fraction globulins showed the largest specific hemaglutinanting activity. Acid glutelin and albumin had a larger specific hemaglutinanting activity against tripisin-treated and papaintreated rabbit erythrocytes, respectively. Thus, for presenting high energy value, the seeds of Bauhinia variegata are an optional source for the feeding.

Evaluación de la degradabilidad in situ en bovinos suplementados con cuatro especies arbóreas

“…En los otros cuatro días se colocaron las bolsas a incubar en el rumen para determinar su degradabilidad. En las pruebas in situ en rumen se utilizó la técnica de las bolsas de nylon (17,18).…”
