Using non-invasive molecular spectroscopic techniques to detect unique aspects of protein Amide functional groups and chemical properties of modeled forage from different sourced-origins

Bio-functions and molecular carbohydrate structure association study in forage with different source origins revealed using non-destructive vibrational molecular spectroscopy techniques

“…In this study, five CSO forage (alfalfa hay, n = 5) and seven FSO forage (alfalfa hay, n = 7) [10,11] were used as modeled forages for structure and bio-function association study. Detailed methods to determine the carbohydrate chemical profiles [12][13][14], carbohydrate subfractions with the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) [15,16], truly digestible nutrients (TDN) [14] and energy values [14,17 were presented [10,11]. The mean and variation (range and coefficient of variation) of the carbohydrate chemical compositions, carbohydrate subfractions, truly digestible nutrients, and energy values were summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Development Co. Ltd). The detailed methodology was reported [10]. The OMNIC 7.3 software (Spectra Tech., Madison, WI, USA) was used to analyze inherent structural carbohydrates (STCHO), cellulosic compounds (CELC) and total carbohydrates (TCHO) [18][19][20].…”
