UNLABELLED A wide range of radiolabeled test meals have been used for gastric emptying scintigraphy. The purpose of this study was to test whether (99m)Tc-sulfur colloid-labeled liquid egg white is as stable as 2 fresh whole eggs labeled with (99m)Tc-sulfur colloid and whether the cooking method is important. METHODS Whole eggs and liquid egg white were mixed with (99m)Tc-sulfur colloid and c...

Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) are mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds found in meats cooked at high temperatures. Although chicken is consumed in large quantities in the United States, there is little information on its HAA content. The objective of this study was to measure the five predominant HAAs (IQ, MeIQ, MeIQx, DiMeIQx, and PhIP) in chicken cooked by various methods to different d...

The cooking of food is hypothesized to have played a major role in human evolution partly by providing an increase in net energy gain. For meat, cooking compromises the structural integrity of the tissue by gelatinizing the collagen. Hence, cooked meat should take less effort to digest compared to raw meat. Likewise, less energy would be expended digesting ground meat compared to intact meat. W...

OBJECTIVE Our physical environment influences our daily food choices unconsciously. Strategic changes in the food environment might therefore be potential measures to influence consumers' food selection towards better nutrition, without affecting the consumers' freedom of choice.

The presence of defective coffee beans depreciates the quality of the coffee beverage consumed worldwide. The intrinsic defects (sour, black and immature beans) are the ones that, when roasted, contribute the most to the depreciation of the coffee beverage quality. Color sorting is the major procedure employed for separation of defective and non-defective coffee beans prior to roasting. However...

Raw white rice has not been considered a good carrier for oral vaccination, probably because of its antiviral activity. Methods are required to overcome antiviral activity in raw white rice. This study was carried out to determine the effects of various treatments of raw white rice on the survival of strain I-2 of Newcastle disease virus. These included cooking and baking the rice or mixing the...

background: antibiotic residue in food is a major concern from a health point of view. post-slaughter and pre-consumption processing such as cooking could affect residue. objectives: the purpose of this study is to survey the effect of boiling and microwave on tilmicosin in chicken. methods: chicken samples containing different tilmicosin amounts cooked in boiling water and in the microwave. af...

The aim of the present study was to measure the effect of graded inclusion of baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) on plasma and liver lipids in hypercholesterolaemic pigs fed on a Western-type diet. Twenty-four Large White x Landrace pigs of about 30 kg body weight were made hypercholesterolaemic by feeding a semi-purified diet, high in saturated fat and supplemented with 10 g cholesterol/kg, for ...

Background/aim: Shellfish consumption is often perceived as a potential health hazard due to the accumulation of toxic metals. The mineral content was investigated in marinated-cooked giant squid (Dosidicus gigas) arms from three Eastern Pacific fisheries (Peru, Chile and Benthic) elucidate their contribution daily recommended intakes possible presence pollutants. Material methods: Thirty macro...
