AIMS The aim of this study was to determine glycaemic index (GI) of 10 popular foodstuffs/mixed meals in healthy persons. METHODS Ten tested foodstuffs and glucose standard were consumed in three replicates in the course of a defined 9-day meal plan: puffed rice squares with chocolate, dark chocolate, white bread, honey and glucose for breakfast (at 7 a.m.) and dinner (at 8 p.m.); pasta with ...

nonpasturized cream is usually contaminated with different types of pathogens, and its use in foodstuffs such as creamy cake and ice-cream is the main cause of contamination of such foodstuffs. the purpose of the analysis was to show the contamination rate of nonpasturized cream and foodstuffs in which such creams are used. studies carried out on 70 samples from 231 distribution centers, from d...

The PCR method has proved to be an invaluable tool for the specific and sensitive detection of genetically modified material (e.g., Roundup Ready Soybean and Bt-176 "Maximizer" Maize) in foodstuffs. The first step in the procedure, namely the purification of nucleic acids from the sample, is often the deciding factor in the production of meaningful results. In this study, we present two procedu...

It would clearly be pointless in this lecture either to attempt to list all the papers that have been published on a vast variety of foodstuffs, nor even selecting only a fcw, to describe in detail to a Budapest audience, the apparatus that is commonly used for testing a few of the principal products that have been intensively studied. Under Professor TELEGDy-Kov~.(Ts, pioneer work has been and...

The lead content of a number of foodstuffs, particularly baby fruit juices and milk, is reported. Samples were analyzed in quadruplicate by using an automated Delves cup atomic absorption procedure. A large proportion of the products examined contained significant amounts of lead. Of 256 metal can examined, the contents of 62% contained a lead level of 100 mug/l. or more, 37% contained 200 mug/...

Foodstuffs analysis is very important due to population growth and increasing consumer demand for safety and nutritional excellence. The Analysis of different compounds in foodstuffs is so difficult without using sample preparation techniques. Traditional techniques require large amounts of toxic organic solvents. As a result, they are not only expensive but also environmentally unfriendly and ...

The use of three-dimensional (3D) analysis of forensic evidence is highlighted in comparison with traditional methods. This three-dimensional analysis is based on the registration of the surface from a bitten object. The authors propose to use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), which is used in dental practice, in order to study the surface and interior of bitten objects and dental casts of ...
