in aquaculture, fishes might experience periods of food deprivation during pre-harvesting, transporting and sorting. in during starvation, some fish utilize muscle protein as a major energy source and some fish utilize primarily lipids. with respect to vital role of starvation periods on body composition, the current study was carried out for one month in autumn 2010 at research farm of isfahan...

This article considers interaction among participation in the Food Stamp Program (FSP), food security status, and the composition of food expenditures. A quadratic almost ideal demand system with a bootstrapping two-step method of estimation is applied to data from the Current Population Survey–Food Security Supplement data and used to estimate the model and account for endogeneity between the ...

Community assembly is driven by multiple factors, including resource availability and habitat requirements. Litter nesting ants respond to food and nest site availability, and adding food and nests may increase ant species richness and abundance. However, litter decomposers share food resources with ants, and increasing food availability may speed decomposition processes, eliminating twigs and ...

Abstract The EU's ‘Farm to Fork’ strategy aims promote healthier diets that include more nutritious and natural foods instead of ultra-processed products. Although several producers geographical indication (GI) such as Parma ham advertise their products artisanal healthy, little is known yet about whether GIs can contribute these ambitions. Therefore, we examine the nutritional quality food com...

BACKGROUND 'Food addiction' shares a similar neurobiological and behavioral framework with substance addiction. However whether, and to what degree, 'food addiction' contributes to obesity in the general population is unknown. OBJECTIVES to assess 1) the prevalence of 'food addiction' in the Newfoundland population; 2) if clinical symptom counts of 'food addiction' were significantly correlat...

This paper reviews application in food science of proteomic techniques, which use high-performance separation methods combined with dedicated mass spectrometry and allow to detect global changes in protein composition. Due to complex biological composition of food, proteomics is increasingly used for characterization of food proteomes aimed at development and optimization of food products. Appl...

Culinary practices are influenced by climate, culture, history and geography. Molecular composition of recipes in a cuisine reveals patterns in food preferences. Indian cuisine encompasses a number of diverse sub-cuisines separated by geographies, climates and cultures. Its culinary system has a long history of health-centric dietary practices focused on disease prevention and promotion of heal...

BACKGROUND Despite the prevalent use of Drosophila as a model in studies of nutrition, the effects of fundamental food properties, such as pH, on animal health and behavior are not well known. OBJECTIVES We examined the effect of food pH on adult Drosophila lifespan, feeding behavior, and microbiota composition and tested the hypothesis that pH-mediated changes in palatability and total consu...
