Horse milk, Suitable For Babies

WE often hear ads on the radio that offers wild horse milk, but often ask how the heck it was, what could be the wild horse drawn milk? The answer, of course, horse milk can be squeezed as wild as any. It was also not inferior to milk from other animals.

Prof. DR. Made Astawan, food technology and nutrition experts from the IPB to mention, that the wild horse milk nutrient is not inferior to dairy cow nutrition. Popular in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, wild horses were also bred in Sukabumi, West Java. Even very popular in Southern France. Milk is also processed into cheese.

A high fat content makes horse milk was tasty and creamy. Yellowish-white color and are usually sold as fresh or processed. Wild horse milk contains proteins with low molecular weight so easily digested. Because of its nutritional composition is close to breast milk (milk), fits babies consumed.

Just like cow's milk, mare's milk is also a source of fat, vitamins, minerals. Short-chain fatty acids contained in horse milk are easily absorbed making body. According to FAO, in addition to its nutrient content is close to breast milk, milk suitable for infants because kaseinnya lower levels than cow's milk. Kandunga high casein according to Made, makes milk easier to agglomerate in the baby's stomach, making it more difficult to digest.

Although potentially contain Bacillus coagulans which causes the milk clots and Citrobacter freundii bacteria and yeast Saccharomyces sp, Aspergillus sp., And Mucor sp according to research conducted Sus Handayani of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta, real wild horse milk contains natural antibacterial components that make milk be durable.

However, if an Environmental outside does not support such a dirty milking by hand, stored in a humid room, the milk still be easily damaged.

One hundred grams of mare's milk contains 44 kcal of energy are to be 100 grams of cow's milk mengandun 64 kcal and 70 kcal. Thus, energy is lower than the mare's milk to cow's milk. Moreover, according to research Yuniati Heru, the advantage is on the content of mare's milk that has antibacterial activity lisosimnya.

This enzyme functions in relation to lactoferrin and immunoglobulin A (IgA). Lysozyme is effective against Escherichia coli when working with Ig A which are also found in the milk so the risk of abdominal pain or diarrhea due to dairy consumption can be reduced.

Lysozyme is important for its role as an anti-inflammatory agent. Even granting lysozyme in newborns may reduce the indications of infection or salura

Prevent Diabetes by Drinking Tea

One more research to prove that the habit of drinking tea is very beneficial for health. Experts from the University of Dundee via the results of recent research indicates, drinking black tea may be one way of preventing diabetes.

As reported by the BBC on Monday (3 / 3), Scottish researchers managed to find a kind of compound contained in black tea that has great potential to overcome disease type 2 diabetes, or type of diabetes is most common today. According to them, these particular compounds can act as insulin in the body.

Experts at Dundee University led by Dr Graham Rena, a team from the Crop Research Institute revealed that compounds in black tea called theaflavins and thearubigin can mimic the function of insulin in the body.

• What we found in these compounds can mimic insulin action on proteins known as foxos, ¨ said Dr. Rena who published his findings in the latest issue of the journal Aging Cell.

¨ Foxos previously has been the basis of associations between diet and health in a wide variety of organisms including mice, worms and fruit flies. Our task now is to see whether these findings can be translated into something useful for human health, ¨ said Dr. Rena.

Dr Rena stressed that further research on these findings need to be done. Therefore, he urged people not necessarily consume black tea as a way of treating diabetes.

¨ People need not be a panic to drink black tea in large quantities and thought that tea could cure them of diabetes. We're still a long road to arrive at new treatments or dietary advice, ¨ he said.

¨ Our research into tea compounds is at a pre-clinical and experimental stage. Patients with diabetes should continue their treatment with a referral from their doctor, ¨ he added.

Even so, says Rena, ¨ There's something very interesting from bagimana a natural ingredient in black tea raises the benefits, both in relation to diabetes and general health. ·

Also Tea Good for Brain Cells

A cup of tea was not only good in maintaining healthy blood vessels. Experts from Singapore recently reported That the beverage of natural leaf is also very beneficial for the which the brain can slow down the degeneration of cells and keep your mind stay sharp ahead of old age.

Professor Ng Tze Pin from the Department of Psychological Medicine, National University of Singapore, reported The Sunday Times has completed a study for four years to uncover the benefits and goodness of tea for the brain.

· Any type of tea can Provide benefits. Tea is cheap, non-toxic and widely consumed, "said Ng.
  
Together with his team, Ng That natural compounds found in tea catechins may protect brain Called cells from Damage Caused by the accumulation of proteins That lasted for years. Impact protection kebisaaan resulting from drinking tea is believed capable of maintaining the brain's Cognitive Abilities.

That Researchers added the caffeine content in tea, unlike in coffee, contains a natural protein theanine Called. Substance in can Reduced the normal side effects of caffeine Such as Increased blood pressure, headaches and fatigue.
  
Degeneration of brain cells, Caused by a combination of loss of nerve cells, predisposed genes, minor stroke, and Increased levels of harmful proteins, Often resulting in the onset of Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

To Arrive at a conclusion, the Researchers held a research by monitoring the habit of drinking tea around 2501 Participants aged 55 years of Chinese descent. This research was held from September 2003 until December 2005.
  
In this research, Participants' health, attention span, language use, visual and spatial Abilities and monitored. Consumption of tea They also continue to be monitored.
  
Revealed From the research data, about 38 percent of Participants did not drink tea. Approximately 29 percent only Drank tea while the rest are kind of taking tea with a variety of types.

In the Research Revealed That two-thirds of the tea drinkers are Able to maintain Their value in a score or two times the memory tests in the intervening two years. Participants Among the WHO did not drink tea, 35 percent showed a reduction of value or score with the average sekitat two points. This Decrease According to the Researchers is a significant sign of deterioration in cognitive kemampua.

According to Researchers, tea is one of the distinguishing factors the make brain cells That Remain active and vigorous. Drinking tea, without the support of other healthy habits, Will not Actually bring benefits.

benefits of banana skin

SKIN bananas are often thrown away in any place. If carelessly discarded, banana peels can make people slip. However, three ITS Biology student, never underestimate the banana peel. Because after investigation proved a banana peel can not be considered trivial stuff.

"The skin of bananas which are often considered worthless stuff, it turned out to contain vitamin C, B, calcium, protein, and fat enough," said Sulfahri, one of three researchers. Looking at the ingredient that is high enough, he and two colleagues trying to make a snack of banana skin material.
    
"Initially, we only manufacture chips banana skin, but over time the idea arose to create starch from banana skin," he said. Students of 2007, said banana flour was finally used as raw material sponge cake. Although repeatedly failed, but they finally found the right formula to make muffins from banana peels.
    
"If you count more than 50 times, but we are now satisfied with a cake recipe that we have," he said. Banana peels are a match made flour is a type of plantain, because the skin is thicker than the plantains other types of bananas.
    
Sulfahri works and two colleagues was one of the innovative work selected in the screening for "Biological Opus Fair" held at the Plaza Dr ITS Surabaya in Figures 17 and 18 April 2008.

Eight innovative products on display are the works entitled "Utilization of Banana Fruit Leather King (Musa paradisiaca sapientum) in Bolu Cake Making Basic Materials" (the work of the Department of Biology Sulfahri ITS), and "Water Electric Light Trap (WEL-T) as a Substitute Pesticides Efforts Peningatan Environment-Friendly Food Production "(work Resti Afiandinie of Chemical Engineering Department of ITS).

Another work is the "Administrative Talok (Muntingia calabura Linn) as One Source of New Alternatives in the World of Food" (Linda Fitri Sari from Muhammadiyah University of Malang), then "Potential Suweg (Amorphophallus campanulatus Bl.) As an Alternative Food Ingredients (Exploring the Potential for Food Efforts Local) "(Riana Dyah Suryaningrum from Muhammadiyah University of Malang).

In addition there are other works, such as "Solid Waste Conversion Products Being Green" (Sulistiono Ningsih of the Biology Department at the University of Jember), "Utilization of Microalgae (Phytoplankton) as a Source of Fuel Substitution Premium" (Abdul Azis Jaziri from the Department of Fisheries at UB Malang), "Diversification Dioscorea Flour as Alternative Sources of Food" (Zainal Arifin from the Department of Biology ITS), then "Use of the fruit and leaves cersen / talok as chips and lunkhead" (Ria of Biology Department of Biological ITS).

Not unlike Sulfahri, Zaenal Arifin also try to make food diversification of tuber material uwi. "Bulbs called latin Dioscorea alata turned out to be a food that is safe for diabetics. Uwi sugar levels are low, but high in carbohydrates," said a student majoring in Biology ITS it.

Uwi processing into flour that did not require a complicated process, even just using traditional methods. "I'm made of two kinds uwi, uwi uwi white and purple that are equally low sugar yield. Uwi coarse grated, then soaked in lime water for separating grated with resin. uwi could sap water for pesticides that are environmentally friendly, "he said.

Grater that has been dried, he said, can be directly processed into flour. "Flour from uwi can be used as a raw material of various kinds of snacks, like cakes and noodles. Rasa own flour fresh, so easy to be varied," he said.
