OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of breastfeeding and formula feeding, the age of introduction to specific foods, and the types of foods and beverages consumed by Hispanic infants and toddlers compared with similarly aged non-Hispanic infants and toddlers living in the United States. DESIGN Descriptive and comparative analysis of dietary recall data and responses to specific interview quest...

Cereal Chem. 65(l):9-12 Young rats were fed one fiber-free and 12 isofibrous diets for three weeks. to colonic degradation than naturally occurring insoluble fiber; e) fecal Fiber originated from 12 different types of breads. Five (white, oatmeal, density was lower on cellulose-containing, bran-containing, and corn, and two multigrain) of these contained one-fifth or more of the total wholewhea...

Cereal Chern. 79(6):779-782 The incidence of moniliformin (MON) producing Fusarium spp. in selected corn (Zea mays L.) samples from Mexico and the United States and the effects of alkaline cooking and the tortilla manufacturing processes on the reduction of MON were determined. The percentage of infected kernels with Fusarium spp. ranged from 0 to 22% in eight foOOgrade com samples, including s...

Virtually all epidemiologists (including us) who have investigated relationships between diet and chronic disease in the past 20 years have used food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) to assess diet and will continue to publish findings based on FFQ-derived data. However, in our editorial ‘‘Is it Time to Abandon the Food Frequency Questionnaire,’’ we addressed how we should conduct epidemiologic s...

During the latter part of the 1800s, the union of migration and epidemiology first surfaced. In that era, the changing shipping patterns that put more people from cholera endemic areas into London, as well as the isolated occurrence of two cholera cases among recent immigrants from Germany to London, bolstered John Snow’s belief that cholera was transmitted from person to person. Other studies ...

Cereal Chern. 87(6):524-531 Dent com (Zea mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum hieolor L. Moench) sample sets representative of commonly grown hybrids and diverse physical attributes were analyzed for alkaline cooking performance. The influence of kernel characteristics including hardness, density, starch properties (thermal. pasting, and crystallinity). starch content. protein content. and prolamin c...

Mexico has the most diverse maize germplasm of any country, and is characterized by many small producers and high maize consumption. The country has an intricate agrarian history and a strongly polarized society. Maize is grown in contrasting environmental, social and technological conditions in plots that range from garden size to fields of hundreds of hectares. The typical campesino subsidize...

Cereal Chern. 84(4):415-422 Starch granules undergo structural and morphological changes during food processing unit operations as they interact with other food ingredients. This study was conducted to isolate and characterize starch granules from com masa. A proteolytic enzyme, thermolysin, was effective in separating and isolating starch granules from endosperm proteins present in masa. The e...
