Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent malignancy in women and the second most common cause of cancer worldwide. There’s a lot of evidence that lifestyle factors including food, body weight, and physical activity are linked to a higher risk of breast cancer. Several bioactive food ingredients, including both essential and non-essential nutrients, can change gene expression profiles. Consequently, nutrigenomics provides information on the effects of consumed nutrients and other food components on gene regulation and transcription factors, i.e., diet-gene interaction, to find dietetic components that are beneficial or damaging to one’s health. Biological processes such as epigenetics, transcriptomics, and proteomics influence nutritional genomics (nutrigenomics), which is the junction of health, food, and genomics. As a result, it will help to determine unique nutritional requirements based on a person’s genetic composition (personalized diet), and also the link between diet and chronic diseases such as cancer, opening up new avenues for a better understanding of the impacts of breast cancer and its management. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy patients with BC experience a variety of symptoms that influence their quality of life. According to research studies on nutritional therapy during BC treatment, nutritional counseling and supplementation with certain dietary elements may be useful in reducing drug-induced side effects and increasing therapeutic efficacy. As a result, nutritional control in BC patients may be considered a critical component of a multimodal treatment strategy. The goal of this review is to give a summary of the existing research on the association between dietary variables and BC.

Millets are called Nutri-cereals which are nutritionally superior when compared to that of staple cereals like rice and wheat and have numerous health benefits in improving the overall health of consumers. In spite of their multiple health benefits, millets are only consumed by people who are of low income group. The present study was done to develop and analyse the nutritional value, physiochemical properties and shelf life studies of millet ladoo as readymade snack which is developed through standardization process by blending the major millet i.e Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and minor millet i.e. Little millet (Panicum sumatrense), Tamarind kernel powder (Tamarindus indica), Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), Bengal gram flour (chick pea) ghee and palm jaggery powder. Millet ladoo that was highly accepted by thirty semi-trained panel members through nine point hedonic scale by formulating sorghum, little millet and other ingredients showed total carbohydrates, protein, fat and fibre about 55.68, 7.54, 20.2 and 2.88% respectively. The sensory evaluation of the acceptable ladoo revealed that the texture, appearance, color, aroma, taste and all quality parameters were in acceptable range during storage. The product shelf life was found to be 30 days with addition of preservative i.e. food grade potassium sorbate followed by packaging of millet ladoo by using polyethylene terephthalate tray as primary packaging material and multilayer plastic laminate pouch as a secondary packaging material. The shelf life of millet ladoo was 15 days without addition of preservative when packed in polyethylene terphthalate tray that was placed in multilayer plastic laminate pouch at room temperature. The sensory parameters of millet ladoo packed in polyethylene terphthalate tray without multilayer plastic laminate pouch was not acceptable for further studies. The work done was an attempt to develop value added products of major and minor millets and increase consumption of millet products for better nutrition of consumers.

Several factors contribute to success in sport, and diet is a key component. An athlete’s dietary requirements depend on several aspects, including the sport, the athlete’s goals, the environment and practical issues. The importance of individualized dietary advice has been increasingly recognized, including day-to-day dietary advice and specific advice before, during and after training and/or competition. Athletes use a range of dietary strategies to improve performance, by maximizing glycogen stores. Carbohydrate intake during exercise maintains high levels of carbohydrate oxidation, prevents hypoglycemia, and has a positive effect on the central nervous system which is facilitated for physical performances of sprinters. Dietary supplements including Nutribars enhance exercise and athletic performance in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, drinks, health mixes and bars. The present study aimed to assess the effect of the supplementation of developed Nutribar on the physical performance and biochemical profile of district-level women sprinters under the age group of 17-20 years. In the study, 59 sprinters (30 control group and 29 experimental groups) were identified and executed for further supplemention study, out of 140 sprinters in the age group of 17-20 y. Results revealed that the sprinters in the experimental group showed significant changes in their biochemical profile and physical performance after the supplementation of Nutribar. Hence Nutribar could be a better choice for supplementing energy for sprinters to enhance their physical performance and biochemical profile for the period of three months.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder due to the defects of insulin secretion (type 1) and increased cellular resistance to insulin (type 2). Mushrooms were found to be effective for reducing diabetic complications and for decreasing the blood glucose levels. When compared to synthetic drugs, the bioactive compounds isolated from mushrooms seem to be less toxic and free of side effects. The ethanol extracts of Pleurotus florida mushroom was used for the extraction of bioactive compounds. The compounds PFEE-1 to PFEE -14 were screened for drug likeness and molecular properties. For structural molecular biology and computer -assisted drug design, molecular docking is found to be a strong tool. It has been used in an attempt to identify and to expound the mechanism of action of the bioactive compounds in Pleurotus florida with the inhibition of GPCR40, PTPBI, PPAR and DPP4 protein receptor for controlling the blood sugar level. 14 bioactive compounds screened from Pleurotus florida mushroom ethanol extract was docked with the glide software based on the drug-likeness score. Ergosterol was found to be a potent inhibitor of DPP4, GPCR40, PPAR and PTPBI when compared to other bioactive compounds.

Ximenia americana Linn. (Olacaceae)., Vitex doniana Sweet. (Verbenaceae) and Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) are three endemic fruit species growing in dry African savannahs. The fruits produced by these species have unique and highly appreciated organoleptic characteristics (aromas and flavors). However, their consumption is limited to the localities where they are found. In addition, the rarity of scientific information on their technological and nutritional potentials constitute an obstacle to their valorization. To bridge this gap, a comparative evaluation of the antioxidant potential of the whole fruit juices from these species was carried out. After physicochemical characterization of the fruits, anti-radical power and reducing activity of the juices were determined using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and TAC methods. The physicochemical analyses of A. senegalensis indicated values of 7.65 ± 0.99 % (proteins), 32.81 ± 1.08 % (total sugars), 3.98 ± 0.17 % (ash) in opposite to 5.68 ± 0.17 (proteins), 42.45 ± 1.54 % (total sugars), 2.03 ± 0.2 % (ash) of X. americana and 2.97 ± 0.74 % (proteins), 33.62 ± 1.79 % (total sugars), 1.36 ± 0.19 % (ash) of V. doniana. The A. senegalensis juice had the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents respectively 1.22 ± 0.01 and 0.36 ± 0.03 g/100 g of FW compared to X. americana (731.93 ± 2.25 and 295.58 ± 1.67 g/100 g respectively) and V. doniana (633.18 ± 1.93 and 111.09 ± 2.44 respectively). A. senegalensis and X. americana had the highest anti-radical activities by DPPH (12.50 ± 0.01) compared to V. donianaand vitamin C standard (8.33 ± 0.02). The ABTS test for the juices from V. doniana and A. senegalensis (14.28 ± 0.01) was compared to X. Americana (9.90 ± 0.01) and vitamin C standard (6.66 ± 0.02). Juices from X. americana had the highest TAC reducing capacity (570.67 ± 1.14 mg EAA / 100 g of FW) compared to V. doniana (521.15 ± 1.93) and A. senegalensis (147.78 ± 2.75). The FRAP test indicated values of 1401.04 ± 1.82 mg/100 g of FW in opposite to X. americana (798.79 ± 1.51) and V. doniana (600.19 ± 2.37). Flavonoids are strongly correlated to antioxidant activity by FRAP (r=0.86) and DPPH (r = 0.96). Tannins (r = 0.98) are strongly correlated with the TAC test.
美洲西门尼亚(铁青树科)。甜牡荆。(马鞭草科)和凤仙花。(番荔枝科)是生长在干燥的非洲大草原上的三种特有果树。这些品种生产的果实具有独特和高度赞赏的感官特征(香气和风味)。然而，它们的消费仅限于发现它们的地方。此外，关于它们的技术和营养潜力的科学资料很少，这是它们增值的一个障碍。为了弥补这一差距，对来自这些物种的整个果汁的抗氧化潜力进行了比较评估。对果实进行理化表征后，采用DPPH、ABTS、FRAP和TAC等方法测定果汁的抗自由基能力和还原活性。理化分析结果表明，塞内加尔沙蚕的蛋白质含量为7.65±0.99%、总糖含量为32.81±1.08%、灰分含量为3.98±0.17%，与美洲美洲沙蚕的蛋白质含量为5.68±0.17、总糖含量为42.45±1.54%、总糖含量为2.03±0.2%、总糖含量为2.97±0.74%、总糖含量为33.62±1.79%、总糖含量为1.36±0.19%相反。总酚和类黄酮含量分别为1.22±0.01和0.36±0.03 g/100 g FW，高于美洲葡萄(731.93±2.25和295.58±1.67 g/100 g)和唐菖蒲(633.18±1.93和111.09±2.44)。senegalensis和x.a americana对DPPH的抗自由基活性最高(12.50±0.01)，高于doniana和维生素C标准(8.33±0.02)。多尼亚巴和塞内格尔巴果汁的ABTS值为14.28±0.01，美洲巴果汁的ABTS值为9.90±0.01，维生素C标准值为6.66±0.02。美洲葡萄汁对TAC的还原能力最高(570.67±1.14 mg EAA / 100 g FW)，多尼亚葡萄汁(521.15±1.93)和塞内加尔葡萄汁(147.78±2.75)高于美洲葡萄汁(521.15±1.93)。FRAP测定结果显示，FW含量为1401.04±1.82 mg/100 g，与美洲弧菌(798.79±1.51)和多氏弧菌(600.19±2.37)相反。FRAP (r=0.86)和DPPH (r= 0.96)对黄酮类化合物抗氧化活性有显著影响。单宁(r = 0.98)与TAC测试密切相关。

Plants are a valuable source of a multitude of secondary metabolites which have been used as medicine since times. Most unarguable merit of using plants as a source of medicine is that they are low priced and readily available with very minimal side effects. The present study deals with the comparative analysis of dry and fresh aqueous, ethanolic and chloroform extracts of Rosa indica petals for its phytochemical screening. The results confirmed the presence of almost all tested secondary metabolites in aqueous and ethanolic extracts, whereas chloroform extract showed only the presence of saponins. Further study was proceeded only with dry and fresh aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Rosa indica petals for its antimicrobial activity against Gram negative bacteria including Escherichia coli (ATCC NO: 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC NO: 27853) and gram positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC NO: 43300), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC NO: 29212) and Candida albicans (ATCC NO: 24433) which is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast. Both dry and fresh ethanolic extracts showed a comparatively higher zone of inhibition for all the microbes. Aqueous dry and fresh extracts showed zone of inhibition for Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis, where as none of the extracts showed antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans. Results from the above study suggest that the ethanolic extract of Rosa indica petal are an encouraging alternative to some of the antibacterial drugs. This in turn would potentially be used as natural source to treat various multi drug resistant bacterial strains.

Further study was proceeded only with dry and fresh aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Rosa indica petals for its antimicrobial activity against Gram negative bacteria including Escherichia coli (ATCC NO: 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC NO: 27853) and gram positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC NO: 43300), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC NO: 29212) and Candida albicans (ATCC NO: 24433) which is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast. Both dry and fresh ethanolic extracts showed a comparatively higher zone of inhibition for all the microbes. Aqueous dry and fresh extracts showed zone of inhibition for Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis, where as none of the extracts showed antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans. Results from the above study suggest that the ethanolic extract of Rosa indica petal are an encouraging alternative to some of the antibacterial drugs. This in turn would potentially be used as natural source to treat various multi drug resistant bacterial strains.","PeriodicalId":22457,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87705298","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}

The study aimed to develop masala mix using microgreens, to assess the organoleptic properties of products prepared by incorporating Microgreen Masala Mix (MMM) and compare the antioxidant properties of the most acceptable variation of MMM with Standard Masala Mix (SMM). Four varieties of microgreens - Spinach, Fenugreek, Coriander and Amaranthus were cultivated, harvested, dehydrated and powdered separately. A microgreen mix (MM) was prepared by mixing 5 g each of the dehydrated powder. SMM was prepared using different spices.MMM was prepared by replacing the SMM with MM at 10, 15 and 20% (i.e Variation- 1,2 and 3) respectively. Masala rice and Masala potato fry were prepared by incorporating SMM and MMM. Sensory attributes of the developed products were evaluated by 15 semi-trained panellists using 9 point hedonic scale. Masala rice-Standard and variation 1 had a higher and similar mean score of 8.4±0.63 and 8.4±0.82 respectively. A similar trend was noticed for masala potato fry, where standard and variation 1 had a mean score of 8.13±0.74 and 7.9±1.33 respectively indicating a high overall acceptability. Hence, the antioxidant properties of MMM (variation 1) were analysed and compared with SMM. MMM (variation 1) had high total phenolic content (55.7 ?g of gallic acid equivalent/ml) and essentially similar flavonoid content (13.45 ? Quercetin/ml). The free radical scavenging activity IC50 value of variation 1 was higher (99.0 ?g/ml) than the standard. Microgreens are rich source of antioxidants hence incorporating microgreens in regular recipes along with other spices and condiments will prove useful to maintain health.
本研究的目的是研制用微绿色masala混合物，评估加入微绿色masala混合物(MMM)制备的产品的感官特性，并比较最可接受的MMM变体与标准masala混合物(SMM)的抗氧化性能。四种微型蔬菜——菠菜、胡芦巴、香菜和苋菜——分别种植、收获、脱水和粉化。将各5 g的脱水粉末混合制成微绿混合物。采用不同的香料制备SMM。用分别为10、15和20%(即变异- 1、2和3)的MM代替SMM制备MMM。以SMM和MMM为原料制备了马沙拉米饭和马沙拉土豆炒饭。开发产品的感官属性由15名半训练小组成员使用9分享乐量表进行评估。标准稻和变异1的平均评分较高，分别为8.4±0.63和8.4±0.82。马萨拉薯片也有类似的趋势，标准和变异1的平均得分分别为8.13±0.74和7.9±1.33，表明总体可接受性较高。因此，对变异1的MMM进行了抗氧化性能分析，并与SMM进行了比较。MMM(变异1)总酚含量高(55.7 μ g没食子酸当量/ml)，类黄酮含量基本相似(13.45 μ g /ml)。槲皮素/毫升)。变异1的自由基清除活性IC50值(99.0 ?g/ml)高于标准。微蔬菜是抗氧化剂的丰富来源，因此在日常食谱中加入微蔬菜以及其他香料和调味品将被证明对保持健康有益。

Vitamin B12 deficiency is known to be very common amongst the vegan population and can cause hyperhomocysteinemia due to various hematologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a global epidemic caused by malabsorption and inadequate consumption. Vitamin B12 deficiency has the greatest impact on the blood and nervous system. Elevated Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) and/or total homocysteine levels are sensitive indications of vitamin B12 deficiency and have been linked to clinical problems. Hematological parameters like erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration or hematocrit, Mean Cell Volume (MCV), blood values such as plasma B12 and the metabolite MMA are only a few examples. A total of 398 subjects, aged 30-50 years were selected from Vallabh Vidyanagar, Anand, Gujarat. Fourty two percent of the subjects were suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency. The subjects were screened for their vitamin B12 status and several biochemical parameters like homocysteine, iron, hemoglobin, total RBC, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDW. Total RBC, MCV, MCH, MCHC levels, and homocysteine concentration of the subjects were found to be significantly (P ? 0.05) associated with the vitamin B12 status of the subjects. A positive and significant (P ? 0.05) relationship was observed between serum vitamin B12 and iron levels (r = 0.127, P ? 0.05) of the subjects. In conclusion, vitamin B12 status was significantly associated with total RBC, MCV, MCH, MCHC levels and homocysteine concentration
维生素B12缺乏症在素食人群中是非常普遍的，并且由于各种血液学和神经精神疾病而导致高同型半胱氨酸血症。维生素B12缺乏症是一种由吸收不良和摄入不足引起的全球性流行病。维生素B12缺乏对血液和神经系统的影响最大。甲基丙二酸(MMA)和/或总同型半胱氨酸水平升高是维生素B12缺乏的敏感迹象，与临床问题有关。血液学参数，如红细胞计数，血红蛋白浓度或红细胞压积，平均细胞体积(MCV)，血液值，如血浆B12和代谢物MMA只是几个例子。从古吉拉特邦阿南德的Vallabh Vidyanagar挑选了398名年龄在30-50岁之间的受试者。42%的研究对象缺乏维生素B12。筛查受试者的维生素B12状态和几个生化参数，如同型半胱氨酸、铁、血红蛋白、总红细胞、PCV、MCV、MCH、MCHC和RDW。发现受试者的总红细胞、MCV、MCH、MCHC水平和同型半胱氨酸浓度显著(P ?0.05)与受试者的维生素B12状况有关。(P ?血清维生素B12与铁水平呈正相关(r = 0.127, P ?0.05)。综上所述，维生素B12水平与总红细胞、MCV、MCH、MCHC水平和同型半胱氨酸浓度显著相关
