A. Overview Garlic, scientifically known as Allium sativum, is a familiar spice in daily meals that has very good effects on human health. Garlic is rich in nutrients. According to research, in 100g of garlic contains 6.36g of protein, 33g of carbohydrates, 150g of calories and nutrients such as vitamins of group B (B1, B2, B3, B6), iron, calcium, potassium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus,. .. The main active ingredients in garlic are sulfur organic compounds and glycosides. In addition, garlic is also high in germanium and selenium. In particular, the germanium content in garlic is higher than that of medicinal herbs such as ginseng, green tea, red tea, etc. The basic effects of garlic mainly come from allicin. In fresh garlic there is no free allicin, only its precursor is alliin. When garlic is minced, the enzyme in garlic is activated which stimulates alliin to form allicin. Currently, in aquaculture, garlic extract is also widely used in the treatme...
A. Overview Yucca schidigera, commonly known as Mojave yucca, is a flowering plant native to the Mòjave Desert, Chihuahuan Desert, and Sonoran Desert of southeastern California, Baja California, New Mexico, southern Nevada, and Arizona. Yucca Schidigera is a small tree in the family Agavaceae and grows to 5 meters tall, with a densely twisted crown arranged bayonet-like leaves on a conspicuous basal stem. The leaves are 30–150 cm long and 4–11 cm broad at the base, convex, thick, very stiff and yellow-green to blue in color. Because the leaves of the Yucca tree have a fibrous structure, the natives often use the leaves to make ropes, shoes, and clothes. The black seeds of the Yucca plant can be ground for starch, and the flowers and fruit are edible. Their roots can be used medicinally in shampoos. In addition, the extracts from the Yucca plant can be used in animal husbandry such as: making medicine to treat diseases from protozoa for animals, reducing urea and ammo...
A. Overview Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts, participating in important biochemical processes in the animal's body. In aquaculture, the enzymes that have received the most attention are Amylase, Cellulase, Lipase, and Protease. B. Types of Digestive enzymes 1. Amylase Structure of α-amylase (Source by Wikipedia). Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase exists 3 types, in which the two most common enzymes commonly used in hydrolysis are α-amylase and β-amylase, the other is γ-Amylase. Besides, they have the effect of decomposing starchy ingredients to help animals absorb better. 2. Cellulase Cellulase is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose molecules into monosaccharides (simple sugars) such as beta-glucose, or into shorter polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. Cellulase is produced mainly from fungi, bacteria and protozoa, operating at an optimal pH of 4-5, a temperature of 45-50. Structure of ...
