OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of front-of-pack labels on taste perception and use of table salt for currently available and sodium-reduced soups. DESIGN Within-subject design. SETTING Sensory laboratory. SUBJECTS Participants (n 50, mean age 34.8 (sd 13.6) years) were randomly served nine soups (250 ml each) across 3 d. Servings differed in: (i) health label (i.e. no health label, r...

Background: Table olives are nutritionally a complete food and considered as one of the oldest fermented products. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 11 as a starter culture on the fermentation of table olives at two incubation temperatures 22 and 30 °C and different salt concentrations (0, 4, 8, and 12% m/v) of sodium chloride (NaCl). Methods: The ferment...

BACKGROUND Iodine nutrition during pregnancy has become an important public health concern because of the deleterious impact of iodine deficiency on brain development during fetal and early postnatal life. Iodine nutrition status can be assessed in a population by the median urinary iodine concentration (UIC). World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund, and the International ...

Excessive salt intake is known to increase blood pressure and cardiovascular risk. Nevertheless, salt intake exceeds the recommendations in most countries. To face this problem, it is important to identify high consumers as well as the main contributors of salt intake. Overall, data of 2018 adults between 18 and 64 years were analysed to determine the main sources, socio-demographic and anthrop...

The whole saltwort plant (Salicornia herbacea) was micronized to develop the table salt substitute. The micronized powder was mixed with distilled water and made into a spherical granule by using the fluid-bed coater (SGMPDW). The SGMPDW had superior flowability to powder; however, it had low dispersibility. To increase the dispersibility of SGMPDW, the micronized powder was mixed with the solu...

F. elatior, Puccinellia distans, Lotus strictus have been tested at 4 different water table depths which grow under natural conditions in salt-affected soils of arid and semi-arid regions. The trial was carried out for 3 years with split plots test design randomized blocks. salt concentration the groundwater where irrigation has made between 3.1-4.4 dS m-1. effect on dry grass yields cultivars ...

Objective: This study was design to determine the prevalence of IDD by measuring urinary iodine excretion among primary school age children, to assess the effect of goitrogen on urinary iodine absorption and assess the impact of salt iodization program. Methods: A questionnaire was given to all students participating in the study to be filled out by their families regarding whether or not they ...

Salt samples were procured from local producer chemically analyzed laboratory Soil Environmental Sciences Department, Faculty Agriculture, University Khartoum August 2020. preparation steps include: impre...

OBJECTIVE Initiatives promoting the reduction of high-salt food consumption by consumers need to be partly based on current levels of salt knowledge in the population. However, to date there is no validated salt knowledge questionnaire that could be used to assess population knowledge about dietary salt (i.e. salt knowledge). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to develop and validate a...
