Xylan from oat spelts: Extraction and possible use

, 2004
Oat spelts contain high amounts of xylan whereas the lignin content is com-paratively low. This raw material is an interesting candidate for the isolation of xylan. Oat spelts are available in large quantities in oat mills with com-paratively low price.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Application in Grass–Clover Elevated Nitrate Leaching in the Follow‐on Maize Crop

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Grass–clover and silage maize are key for dairy feed production and frequently occur within the same crop rotations. Fertilizer management in grass–clover may leave residual effects that influence both environmental outcomes and the performance of subsequent maize crops.

Characterisation for functional compounds of Italian oat genotypes

, 2004
Functional foods are defined as foods which give physiological benefits beyond simple nutrition: they enhance overall health, help prevention or treatment of a disease, improve physical and mental performance, via an added functional ingredient (Jones ...

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Addition of value to low B-glucan oat fraction

, 2004
Different methods are available for obtaining oat fractions with elevated soluble fibre content. Separation of flour particles based on their size and density gives fractions with maximum around 20 % of ?-glucan, whereas higher B-glucan contents can be ...

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Domesticated tetraploid oat Avena magna Murph. et Terr. and A. murphyi Ladiz. and their potential use in the improvement of moroccan hexaploid oat cultivars of A. sativa

, 2004
In Morocco, oat is a relatively new introduced crop during the 1920s. The area occupied by oat cultivation is extending annually and reaches 70 000 ha. Oat grows in favorable rainfed area in pure stands or as mixture with vetch fod.

‘The most advanced outpost of cultivation’: palynological evidence for cereal agriculture and population resilience in a marginal upland environment

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

In vitro and in sacco determination of neutral detergent fibre digestibility of treated cereal straw

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cereal straw is hardly digestible due to its complex bonds of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. That is why chemical treatments, such as with sodium hydroxide, may help to loosen the bonds and thus increase ruminal digestibility. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility is a good predictor of feed intake.
