Ogunremi. Development of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) Inulin extruded snacks and evaluation of their prebiotics and safety potentials. Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Research 5 358-370. Abstract Food industries are currently facing the challenge of meeting consumers’ demand for functional foods that provide additional health benefits. Development of appropriate extruded food snacks with inulin inclusion and its associated prebiotic benefits has not be fully exploited. This work is therefore aimed at bridging this gap. Okra pod ( Abelmoschus esculentus L) inulin was blended with rice flour and other raw material inputs (sugar, salt, fat and water). These were subjected to extrusion conditions (feed rate: 300g/min, barrel temperature: 125 o C and internal pressure: 20.5x10 -5 N/M 2 ) for 30min. Thereafter, the extrudates were air cooled at room temperature. The resulting extrudates were subjected to bifidogenic invitro

Background: To assess adherence of gastrointestinal cancer patients to a Combined Exercise and Dietary Intervention (CEDI) during neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: Parallel randomized controlled, open label, pilot trial. A table from a web based randomization system was used to allocate treatments. 46 patients were screened at diagnosis of esophageal, gastric, pancreatic and rectal cancer from June 2018 to November 2019 at a teaching hospital in Loures, 39 were randomized. A planned interim analysis was performed and results are herein presented. Patients were randomized to receive either 8 week individualized CEDI, with moderate aerobic and resistance training, dietary counseling and oral nutritional supplements or standard care. Follow up was conducted after neo-adjuvant treatment. Main outcome measures were adherence to CEDI, change in weight, body composition and functional status. Adherence to CEDI was analyzed with an intention to treat approach, other outcome measures were analyzed with a per protocol approach. Data analysis was conducted with Chi-square test or Fisher exact test and t-test or Mann Whitney U test. Effect size was computed with Cohen’s d for t tests and r for Mann-Whitney U tests. Paired-samples t test or Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test were used to analyze longitudinal data. Results: 39 patients (CEDI n=19 or control n=20) were randomized and included in the intention to treat analysis (29 (74.3%) male, median age 63.5 (Interquartile Range (IQR):11.75)).

Objective: To identify the factors contributing to the double burden of obesity and hypertension in the elderly Cameroonians. Methodology: A total of 172 participants aged over 60 were enrolled in a cross- sectional study carried out in households in the city of Foumban. The sociodemographic and nutritional data of each participant were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the WHO STEP wise approach while anthropometric and hemodynamic measurements were recorded. Based on the WHO guidelines and ACC/AHA definitions, three patterns of the double burden of obesity and hypertension were investigated: i) generalized obesity/hypertension (GO/H), ii) abdominal obesity/hypertension (AO/H) and iii) combined generalized and abdominal obesity/hypertension (CO/H). Results: Prevalence of the different patterns of the double burden of obesity and hypertension were: 29.7% (CO/H), 37.8% (GO/H), and 46.5% (AO/H). Type of marriage, source of income, consumption of fat and starchy recipes, consumption of refined sugars and family history were significantly linked to the AO/H pattern while consumption of refined sugars and irregular consumption of fruits were associated with the GO/H pattern. Conclusion: Abdominal obesity appears to be the most frequent pattern of the double burden of obesity and hypertension in the elderly. Key risk factors are mainly diet-based, suggesting the importance of nutritional education of the elderly in Cameroon. Yet, large scale studies are needed to refine the nutritional education strategies for the elderly in Cameroon.

Methods: A pre-post study was done measuring body image flexibility in adolescent female athletes. Athletes, aged 14-18, participated in educational sessions about nutrition, body image flexibility, and RED-S (relative energy deficiency in sport). Body image flexibility was measured by the BI-AAQ (Body Image - Acceptance and Action Questionnaire). Results: Increases were shown in all teams and overall. Specifically, mean BI-AAQ scores from 45.2 to 57.2 or difference of 12.0 (p-value <0.01). The cheer team showed an increase of the mean scores from 42.3 to 52.0 or difference of 9.7 (p-value 0.033). Overall scores improved from 43.6 to 54.1 or difference of 10.4 (p-value <0.01). Individual questions results shows that the cross country/track team had significant improvement in 8 of the 12 questions and the cheer team had significant improvement in 4 of the 12 questions. Discussion: This pre-post study examined the efficacy of three educational sessions during the athletic season. The positive outcomes in the short educational sessions suggest that starting education early may help with the mindset of positive body image flexibility at least short term. Conclusion: There was statistically significant short-term increase in body image flexibility in adolescent female athletes with education about body image, performance, and nutrition.

Ceftriaxone (CEFT), a widely used broad-spectrum beta -lactam cephalosporin antibiotic, is used to treat bovine mastitis, caused by a variety of bacteria. If used injudiciously, this antibiotic leaves a residue that persists after pasteurization. Antibiotic residue contamination occurs when antibiotic residue exceeds its Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). This has negative impacts on both public health and the environment. The aim of a recent study was to determine the concentration of ceftriaxone residue (CEFTR) in raw and pasteurized mastitis cow milk, and its role in developmental toxicity and genotoxicity in the zebra fish model. The CEFTR concentrations in raw and pasteurized milk were several times higher than CEFT's MRL. CEFTR showed a decrease in body length and yolk sac region of zebra fish larvae 7-amino cephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), C3 and C7 are the cephalosporin components produced by the degradation of CEFT that may present in CEFTR, and have an impact on the zebra fish embryo in this stage of development. Comet Assay or Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (SCGE) also exhibited highest percentage of tail DNA, and tail moment (DNA migration) that is the ultimate indicator of DNA damage by breaking DNA strands and incorporating guanine residue into the genome that ultimately damages the DNA. As a result, the CEFTR is extremely concerning for public health and the environment. The toxic effects of the CEFTR in zebra fish model have not yet been studied. This may be the first comprehensive study.

Background Childhood obesity is a complex condition and the associated factors are not well understood. This paper aims to explore the relationship of behavioral factors including consumption of convenience stores food for lunch at school and obesity in urban preschool-going children. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 351 selected children The Organization was used to categorize children into underweight, normal, and obese according to age and sex. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association. The findings suggest that consumption of convenience store food for lunch at school is associated with obesity in urban preschool-going children in Nepal. The findings can help to explain the information and knowledge gaps regarding obesity in preschool-going children in Nepal.

Background & Aims: This study evaluated the correlations between phase angle (PA) and muscle mass (MM), which can contribute to an accurate nutritional diagnosis. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study, conducted from July 2020 to July 2021, included patients classified as at-risk based on their initial nutritional assessments. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to evaluate body composition and determine the phase angle (PA). Data on nutritional status and hospital stay were also obtained. Results: Among the 1.012 evaluated patients, 55% (557) were male, the median age was 71.8 years, and the median body mass index (BMI) was 22.7 kg/m 2 . A total of 60.1% (606) of the patients had low MM. The PA cut-off for reduced MM was 4.30º for the total population and for men, and 3.76º for women. Patients with reduced PA were older (61.8 [23] vs. 76.4 [19] years; p<0.001), had a longer hospital stay (14 [20] vs. 11[15]; p<0.001) and lower BMI (24.1 [6.0] vs 22.3 [4.8] kg/m 2 ; p<0.001). Patients with a hospital stay >11 days were twice as likely to have a reduced PA (odds ratio [OR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.37–2.93). In addition, patients from critical units were almost twice as likely to have a reduced PA (OR = 1.87, 95% CI 1.22–2.87). Conclusion: Patients with reduced MM presented a lower PA cut-off than that for patients with normal MM; thus, the PA represents a good marker to detect MM reduction. A reduced PA also increased the likelihood of malnutrition and prolonged hospital stay.

Correlation Between Staple Diet and its Effect on Physical Aesthetics Depicted in Paintings, Sculptures and Figurines: Greek v/s. Indian Culture. Abstract In the specific cultural setting, the need to find links between multimodal aspects and their interconnection like regional food and regional art is necessary. The regional socio-cultural aspects such as food greatly influence human beings' physical appearances, which may be depicted in art forms. Different cultures have existed for centuries. Each culture had its unique cuisines, art, peculiar traditions, geographic location, and many prominent features which identify that specific culture distinctively. Up to some extent, cuisine and staple food plays a vital role in the culture. This review-based research focuses on finding out the prevalence of staple food and specific culture nutrition on shaping its art forms. Also, how the staple diet and daily activity of people from particular cultures shaped their physical aesthetics and how these physical aesthetics are depicted in paintings or sculptures. Hence, the article's significance is to find if any pattern exists between staple diet and art from across different cultures, i.e., for instance, compared to ancient European (Greek) and Indian culture.

Hence, the article's significance is to find if any pattern exists between staple diet and art from across different cultures, i.e., for instance, compared to ancient European (Greek) and Indian culture.","PeriodicalId":15858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Research","volume":"357 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78955004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An experiment was conducted to compare the effects of different levels of thyme and rosemary ether extract on growth performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. 336 male sexy chicks were used in a randomized complete design with 7 treatments and 4 replications cages (12 birds per cage). The experimental diets consisted of: 1: Control treatment: Basal diet based on corn-soybean meal without supplementation with medicinal plants, 2: base ration + 0.25% of rosemary ether extract, 3: base ration + 0.5% of rosemary ether extract, 4: base diet + 0.75% Rosemary ether extract, 5: base diet + 0.25% Thyme ether extract, 6: base diet + 0.5% Thyme ether extract and 7: base diet + 0.75% Thyme ether extract. Results showed that tratments 4, 6 and 7 (which contained 0.75% Rosemary ether extract, 50% extract of Thyme extract and 0.75% Thyme ether extract) average body weight and daily gain increased. At the end of the experiment, there was no significant difference between the treatments in feed intake. The best feed conversion coefficient in treatment was 0.75% of thyme extract and the other treatments also had less feed conversion than control treatment. Characteristics of carcasses were not significantly affected by experimental treatments. The level of 0.75% of rosemary ether extract showed better performance than the other two levels and its yield was similar to 0.75% of thyme ether extract. Supplementation of dietary of broiler chicks with Thyme extract at the level of 0.50% and 0.75% was the same results.
