OBJECTIVE Examine intakes of energy and macronutrients, and identify their food sources, in Thai preschool children. MATERIAL AND METHOD Data from the Thai National Health Examination Survey (NHES) IV were used. Mothers/caregivers were interviewed regarding their children's 24-hour-dietary intake. Dietary data were analyzed for energy and macronutrients, and their food sources were investigat...

Consumption of dairy products and their milk proteins increase satiety and reduce food intake and blood glucose response when consumed alone or with carbohydrate. Dairy proteins are of interest because proteins are more satiating than either carbohydrate or fat, and they regulate food intake and metabolic functions by the combined actions of the intact protein, encrypted peptides and amino acid...

This study aimed to assess the amount of plate waste and how plate waste was disposed by early adolescent girls using a mobile food record (mFR). Participants were girls nine to thirteen years residing in O'ahu, Hawai'i (n = 93). Foods selected and leftover were estimated using a three day mFR. Each leftover food was then classified as thrown into the trash, fed to a pet, eaten later, or other ...

Increasing life standards, developing technology, growing importance of food quality and safety lead food industry to search new analysis methods. In addition, high consumer expectation and increasing population forces manufacturers to find fast and accurate techniques. The present study was aimed to prepare a summary about computer aided image processing systems covering working principles and...

This study was to provide a convenient method for the determination of DNA concentration from milk. Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technology with orthogonal experiment method was conducted to determine bovine genomic DNA content in milk for the first time. DNA was extracted from milk samples with a novel method that was constructed based on our pre-experiments results. All samples were scann...

BACKGROUND Preconception and pregnancy dietary intakes can influence the health of future generations. In this study we compared the food intakes of reproductive-aged women by pregnancy status, to current Australian recommendations. METHODS Data are from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, younger cohort aged 25-30 years in 2003, with self-reported status as pregnant (n = 606...

BACKGROUND Dairy food and calcium intakes have been hypothesized to play roles that differ among individual cancer sites, but the evidence has been limited and inconsistent. Moreover, their effect on cancer in total is unclear. METHODS Dairy food and calcium intakes in relation to total cancer as well as cancer at individual sites were examined in the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP ...

the purpose of this descriptive– survey research was to identify areas of applying information technology in dairy cattle farm management in western tehran province. the statistical population of the study consisted of 284 dairy cattle farmers, out of whom 82 dairy cattle farmers were selected as study sample using cochran formula and proportionate stratified sampling technique. the sample size...

Protein intakes in the older population can be lower than recommended for good health, and while reasons for low protein intakes can be provided, little work has attempted to investigate these reasons in relation to actual intakes, and so identify those of likely greatest impact when designing interventions. Questionnaires assessing: usual consumption of meat, fish, eggs and dairy products; agr...
