| Abstract | ||
| This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of inulin from Jerusalem artichoke powder and pure inulin on the absorption of Ca and Cu by mice. Forty male weanling mice were divided into 4 groups. The first was a control, the second was given 2.5% pure inulin, third was given 5% pure inulin, and the fourth was given 5% inulin from dry J.artichoke powder. All diets were formulated to be balanced and fed for three weeks.The fourth group (with 5% inulin in J.artichoke powder) gained the least weight (0.2 gm). The control gained 1.49 gm. The average food consumed (46.9 gm) was the lowest in the third group (5% pure inulin) in comparison to control (56.01 gm). This differences was statistically different. Fecal weight was the lowest with the third group (2.85), in comparison to control (5.87 gm). No statistical differences were observed between the group in the dry matter absorption the apparent digestible nitrogen. The highest Ca absorption was with the fourth group (89% absorption) in comparison to the control (68% absorption). This difference is significant. As well as Ca showed the higher absorption (83%) in group 4 in comparison to control (55%), this is a statistically difference. In conclusion pure inulin or inulin in J.artichoke powder the absorption of Ca and Cu in mice balanced diets. | ||
