The nutritional value of fruit has been widely studied and is demanded by consumers, especially for protection against cardiovascular disorder, cancer and other diseases, as well as for general health benefits. These benefits can also be ascribed to the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of fruit. Fruit nutritional quality can be described by a standard quality parameter and the analyses of nutri...

Establishing criteria for hospital nutrition care ensures that quality care is delivered to patients. The responsibility of the Hospital Food and Nutrition Service (HFNS) is not always well defined, despite efforts to establish guidelines for patient clinical nutrition practice. This study describes the elaboration of an Instrument for Evaluation of Food and Nutritional Care (IEFNC) aimed at di...

persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) is a valuable fish caught in the caspian sea. in this study, effect of frying, the most common cooking methods on nutritional properties of the persian sturgeon fillet were investigated. the raw and fried samples were analyzed for amino acid composition, protein and fat content, in vitro digestibility and nutritional parameters. the results showed that the ...

Cereal grains are considered by consumers due to effect on health because of their antioxidant capacity, phenolic content and other phytochemicals. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted to evaluate of morphological and nutritional traits on 10 rice genotypes. Analysis of variance showed a significant different among the genotypes for all traits. Onda, Gharib, Fajr and L2 genotypes had t...

OBJECTIVE Determine associations between the quality of life of mothers and the nutritional status of children. METHODS case-control study involving 152 mothers of children aged zero to five years, living in the coverage area of a basic health unit in the city of Porto Alegre. The calculation of sample size was estimated as 152 mothers - 76 mothers with children at nutritional risk/malnutriti...

Carcass growth is made up primarily of fat and protein. As cattle approach mature weight, carcass gain makes up a higher percentage of total gain. This is why dressing percentage increases with days on feed. Although performance is typically reduced for long fed cattle, adjusting performance for dressing percent can give us an indication of the performance of carcass growth. Fat makes up a high...
