Infants avoid touching plants. Here we examine for the first time whether infants are also reluctant to touch plant foods. We hypothesized that would foods because food neophobia-the avoidance of novel foods-is particularly strong fruits and vegetables. However, predicted processed a lesser degree than whole leafy plants they bear markers previous human engagement. In assessment, presented 7- 1...

a high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of aflatoxin b1 (afb1) in foods using a monolithic column with sample clean up on an immunoaffinity column. the method was validated for analysis of afb1 in rice, bread, puffed corn snack, wheat flour and peanut samples. the average recoveries for afb1 in different foods ranged from 94.4 to 102.5% with the coeffici...

objectives: the aim of this study was to compare the otitis media with effusion (ome) groups that improved when treated with adenoidectomy and ventilation tube (vt), to the group of the recurred after surgery and detect the possible role of allergy in ome. material and methods: this study was performed on two groups. the patient group consisted of 38 patients with recurrent ome with allergy an...

Refrigerated display cases are now commonplace in food stores in order to display products in an attractive manner to the customer. An increasing variety of chilled and frozen foods has also added to the demand for more chilled display area but despite this, most modifications to the way supennarket refrigeration systems are designed has come on the high pressure side with little or no regard f...

Based on recent advancements in the behavioral priming literature, three experiments investigated how incidental exposure to fast food can induce impatient behaviors and choices outside of the eating domain. We found that even an unconscious exposure to fast-food symbols can automatically increase participants' reading speed when they are under no time pressure and that thinking about fast food...

BACKGROUND An ongoing debate in the literature is how to measure the price of food. Most analyses have not considered the value of time in measuring the price of food. Whether or not the value of time is included in measuring the price of a food may have important implications for classifying foods based on their relative cost. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to compare prices that e...

Rats with lesions in the basolateral amygdala chose different foods from control rats in 10-min. food-preference tests. The normal rats ate primarily familiar chow, while the amygdala-lesioned rats ate primarily novel foods. The lesioned rats did not select indiscriminately but showed definite preferences. With repeated testing, the normal rats' preferences became similar to those of the amygda...

Respiratory allergy and allergy to foods continue to be important health issues. There is evidence to indicate that the incidence of food allergy around the world is on the rise. Current estimates indicate that approximately 5% of young children and 1-2% of adults suffer from true food allergy (Kagan 2003). Although a large number of in vivo and in vitro tests exist for the clinical diagnosis o...
