JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this experiment is to see whether immersing potatoes in the water before cooking has any effect on themselves and dishes prepared from them. Two types of potatoes (Irish Potato and May Queen) and three different cooking methods (boiling in a pot of water, boiling in a pressure cooker, and steaming in a pressure cooker) were used.
We employed three techniques to observe the effects; using a flame-photometer to measure K and Na levels in the water in which potatoes have been immersed; using a texturometer to measure the texture of potatoes; and by sensory test. The last two techniques were employed after cooking. K and Na contents increased with time, but there were no significant differences in the content. There were also no changes observed in the hardness, fraility and cohesiveness measured by the texturometer, nor in the appearance, taste, texture and in the overall result by the sensory test.
We thus concluded that there is no need for immersing potatoes in the water before cooking in order to prepare salad-like dishes with them.View full abstractDownload PDF (573K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present study was carried out to examine the differences by sex in the iron deficiency anemia induced in rats. Four week old male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed the iron deficiency diet (Fe content; 0.38mg%) and the distilled water (Fe free) for 7 weeks. During the experimental period, the body weight was recorded, and hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht) and red blood cells (RBC) were determined at weekly intervals. After the observation period, all the animals were sacrificed and the tissues were assayed for iron.
The following results were obtained:
1) There was a significant difference in the body weight at week 7 between the control and the deficient groups for both male and female.
2) Hb, Ht and RBC values in the female deficient group were higher than the male deficient group. However, there were no significant differences between male and female control groups.
3) Iron content in the liver, spleen and muscle in the female deficient group was higher than those in the male deficient group.
4) Differences by sex were observed in the iron metabolism of rats fed the iron deficient diet.View full abstractDownload PDF (406K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present study was carried out to examine the effect of iron deficiency on the fetal growth. Female rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain, weighing about 240g were mated. The animals were given three kinds of diet with different iron levels (control; 4.10mg%, low iron group; 1.83mg%, iron deficiency group; 0.38mg%) during pregnancy. The blood levels of hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht) and red blood cells (RBC) were observed. The iron content in the maternal tissues was analysed after the experiment. The litter size, body weight and iron contents in the liver and carcass of fetus were also observed.
The following results were obtained.
1) Hb, Ht and RBC values in the iron deficient group on day 21 of pregnancy were apparently lower than those in the control and the low iron groups.
2) Iron contents in the maternal liver, spleen and muscle of the deficient group were observed to decrease on day 21 of pregnancy when compared with those of other groups. Iron contents in the uterus, placenta and amniotic fluid of the three groups were almost the same.
3) The litter size and mean fetal weight and the placenta weight in all the groups were almost the same. Iron contents in the fetal liver and carcass of the deficient group were slightly lower than those of the control group.
4) Although the iron intake of the dams was restricted during pregnancy, the fetal weight gain was normal. It appears that the maternal tissue iron was preferentially utilized for the fetal growth.View full abstractDownload PDF (465K) -
