Dietary phosphorus requirement for juvenile bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis)

Nutritional Value, Volatile Components, Functional Metabolites, and Antibacterial and Cytotoxic Activities of Different Parts of Millettia speciosa Champ., a Medicinal and Edible Plant with Potential for Development

“…The seeds and leaves of M. speciosa were rich in Se, with 0.59 mg/kg in the seeds and 0.24 mg/kg in the leaves, which is higher than the levels in traditional foods, such as 0.35~0.47 mg/kg in beef, 0.4 mg/kg in lamb, 0.21~0.27 mg/kg in salmon, 0.17 mg/kg in eggs, and 0.1~0.55 mg/kg in various dairy products [19]. As a mineral element essential for normal growth and bone development in all organisms, phosphorus plays an important role in a variety of metabolic processes, such as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism [20]. Total phosphorus is an essential nutrient indicator in the diets of aquatic and terrestrial animals, such as fish and pigs [20,21].…”

Total phosphorus is an essential nutrient indicator in the diets of aquatic and terrestrial animals, such as fish and pigs [20,21]. The total phosphorus content in the leaves of M. speciosa, at 0.14%, was lower than the reference value of 0.5~1% for total phosphorus content in feeds [22].…”

“…Finally, identification was completed by an ICP-MS instrument, with the determination procedure described in the "National Standard for Food Safety-Determination of Multiple Elements in Food" [65]. Total phosphorus content was measured using methods previously described in the literature, with some improvements [20]. Briefly, leaf samples (2.0 g) were dried and ashed at 550 • C for 3 h. Following ashing, the samples were digested with hydrochloric acid and nitric acid at 100 • C for 10 min.…”
