People with Diabetes Mellitus have a significant increase in oxidative stress due to protein glycation and activation of the polyol pathway; as a result, they develop diabetic retinopathy that can progress to macular edema and cause severe visual disturbances including central blindness. The lack of lutein in people with macular edema is evident, therefore, they require additional consumption to prevent and reduce the complications. We decided to undertake a review in order to learn more about this supplement, its properties and its beneficial effect on the eyesight of individuals with Diabetic Macular Edema.

Antioxidant mechanisms usually act in a coordinated way, and they are grouped in two defense systems: enzymatic and nonenzymatic system. The metallo-dependent enzymes of the organism and the natural substances present in legumes have the capacity to delay, decrease or inhibit the oxidative processes. This work aimed to evaluate the bioaccessibility of zinc and bioactive compounds of flour obtained from Argentinian native forest fruits corresponding to the family of leguminous plants: white carob (Prosopis alba) and Chañar (Geoffroea decorticans), in order to use them in human food. The study was done on carob flour (CF) and chañar flour (CHF). The minerals were quantified by atomic absorption spectrometry. Bioaccessibility (D%) was estimated by dialysate percentage after in vitro digestion. The potential contribution (PC) was calculated. Their phenolic concentrations were obtained using the Folin Ciocalteu method and their antioxidant activity was evaluated in vitro using the radical DPPH (1,1-diphenil-2-pichrihydracil) and expressed as the percentage of the trapping capacity against DPPH. CF and CHF presented contents of Zn of 1.20 and 1.48 mg / 100g; D% 24 and 28; PC 0.29 and 0.41 respectively. CHF contains 112 ± 18.3mg EAG/100g of total phenols and AF 156 ± 16.9 mg EAG/100g. The results showed that the antioxidant potential was higher in CHF 39.78% than CF: 16.4%, in preparations with 100 mg/l. The values for the discoloring percentage of DPPH radical were corrected considering the standard quercetine with a value of 100% antioxidant capacity. The samples under study are good sources of Zn, cofactor of the enzyme superoxide dismutase and of antioxidants, mainly of phenolic compounds. Therefore, these flours could be suitable for functional foods formulation. ISSN 2641-4295 Research Article Citation: Generoso S, Costa K, Rosas D, et al.

To this end, interviews were conducted with 70 consumers and 20 salespeople in Niamey. The chemical composition of two varieties of raw and cooked taro was determined by standard methods. The results obtained show that taro can be bought well in Niamey with sales of 2 to 3 bags of 100 kg/day/trader. According to the respondents, taro conservation does not require much care. Two varieties of taro that differ in size are mainly marketed. Taro is eaten after boiled, peeled and seasoned with spices. 98.57 % of consumers are unaware of the nutritional intake of taro. Analysis of the chemical composition of two varieties of raw and cooked taro shows that moisture contents vary from 79.33-88.15%, ash contents from 0.8-1.00%, fat contents from 0.74-1.12%, protein contents from 0.67-1.17% and carbohydrate contents from 14.20-23.88%. Cooked taro provides a total energy between 101.03 and 109.43 kcal/100g. With regard to mineral composition, the contents of Ca, K, Mg, Na, Fe and Zn expressed in mg/100g of fresh matter fluctuate from 2.31-2.89; 14.73-17.08; 24.36-25.10; 5.37-5.70; 0.270.30 and 0.24-0.34 respectively. The two varieties of taro studied have fairly similar nutrient contents. Cooking in water resulted in a significant increase (p<0.05) in carbohydrate levels and a decrease in moisture, ash, K and Zn contents.

Nutritional information from the six retail-dining facilities were colored coded based on a percentage of energy from total fat (green <30%; amber 30-40%; red <40%). Results showed less than 25% of menu items were green, primarily condiments, resulting in increasing the criteria to <35% kcal total fat for purposes of the handout. The application of a simplified traffic light system to analyse the menus from the six-retail dining facilities demonstrated that students have less variety and choices when it comes to the selection of healthful menu items.

Regrettably, the eating behaviours of adolescents are characterized by high consumption of ready to eat foods, frequent snacking especially of food of low nutrition quality and unhealthy weight loss practices such as skipping meals, more so breakfast. The poor choices on what to eat and snack on, made by the adolescents, puts them at risk of being underweight, overweight and or obese. Under nutrition, overweight and obesity are issues of public health concern, as they world faces the double burden of malnutrition. The aim of the study was to determine the dietary habits and nutrition status of adolescents in mixed day public secondary schools. As such, the study adopted a cross-sectional analytical study design. The study population comprised of adolescents in mixed public day secondary schools in Thika, Kiambu County, Kenya where 212 adolescents responded to the study instruments. Data was collected using researcher administered structured questionnaires. Data on dietary intake was collected using 7-day food diary and a seven-day food frequency questionnaire. Anthropometric measures of Weight, height; which was used to calculate body mass index and waist circumference as well hip circumference to calculate waist-hip ratio were also taken to determine the nutrition status. Dietary intake data was analysed using nutri-survey, while WHO anthro-plus was used to calculate the nutrition status of the adolescents. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS (IBMTM) version 20. The results indicated that adolescent skip meals especially the breakfast meal, consume high sugar food, and carbonated drinks. The average energy intake per day was 2467.1±723.96 Kcal with only 21.1% of boy and 35.9% girls attained the RDA.

Studies also showed that cocoa fresh beans aqueous extract contains few compounds which were believed contributing to the free radicals scavenging property. Nevertheless, report on which compounds or fractions from this cocoa fresh bean extract appear to be major sources in the free radicals scavenging capability is limited. Cocoa fresh beans were extracted by water incubation at 80oC for 15 minutes. The extract was fractioned using preparative chromatography system fixed with C18 (21.2 x 150mm) column and diode array detector at 280nm wavelength. Each fractions were dried under nitrogen stream at 80oC and reconstituted with 2ml distilled water. Free radicals scavenging capability of the extract and its fractions were determined based on 0.06 mM DPPH solution. Results showed that the cocoa fresh beans extract contains four prominent fractions as detected and isolated by Preparative liquid chromatography, namely fraction 1 to fraction 4. From this four fractions, only fraction 1 and fraction 2 showed positive result in free radicals scavenging capability. Fraction 1 and fraction 2 were identified as (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin respectively based on their retention time and mass spectrum. Research Article Citation: Samuel Yap Kian Chee.
