It was believed that wild or wood-cultured A.cinnamomea on C.kanehirai Hay. was better than by other means. However, C.kanehirai Hay. was rare and expensive, that resulted in a higher price of wild or wood-cultured A.cinnamomea . Hence, a novel process was developed to spray solid-state-cultured A.cinnamomea extracts on wood-cultured A.cinnamomea powder to make a high quality and low price product. The purpose of the study was to evaluate its hepatoprotection against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Results revealed that aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of Sprague Dawley rats administered 20% carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) twice a week, when the rats was also administered 413.4 or 1033.5 mg/kg body weight (BW) A.cinnamomea daily for 8 weeks, were significantly reduced in serum. Administration of 1033.5 mg/kg BW A.cinnamomea daily would not only reduce the rats’ liver and spleen swelling, liver fibrosis, and level of hydroxyproline, but increase activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione. In conclusion, the A.cinnamomea product via the novel process at 1033.5 mg/kg BW had hepatoprotective effects on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.","PeriodicalId":14174,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences","volume":"40 1","pages":"134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80151514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is partly because of this age group’s reputation for capriciousness and also because health services/research in developing countries tend to focus more on pre-school children and pregnant women. This study aimed to optimize the health needs of Nigerian adolescents by determining the dietary habits and the nutritional status of adolescents using anthropometry. The cross-sectional descriptive study engaged 400 adolescents aged 10 - 19 years in four secondary schools in Ekpoma using a semi-structured questionnaire for data collection. Height (m 2 ) and weight (kg) were measured and body mass index (BMI) was computed to assess underweight, normal weight, over-weight or obesity. SPSS was used to analyse data. Important factors affecting dietary habits include parental influence (87%), taste of food (71%), mass media reports (61%) and culture (55%). Percentages of underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese adolescents were 24%, 72%, 3% and 1%, respectively. There was significant association between BMI and monthly household income, p<0.002. There were no significant gender differences. In contrast to the rising prevalence of obesity worldwide, this study has demonstrated that under-nutrition is a challenge in this environment. Intensified nutritional education, provision of adequate healthy diets and motivational strategies are imperatives to prevent malnutrition and its related health consequences in this adolescent population – tomorrow’s adults.","PeriodicalId":14174,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90951816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Germinated fenugreek flour had higher crude protein 29.89% in fenugreek flour germinated for 72 hrs followed by 29.36% in fenugreek flour germinated for 48 hrs and 27.42% in raw fenugreek flour. The crude fiber ranged from 11.349 to 14.70%. But as the time of germination increased the crude fiber content slightly decreased. Fenugreek flour germinated for 48 hrs proved to be more beneficial in most mineral content than the rest of the germination periods (p<0.05). Germinated fenugreek flour for 72 hrs had significantly lower contents of anti-nutritional factors. The phytate content decreased significantly (p<0.05) from 64.22 to 18.99 with 53.96% reduction. The study showed that fenugreek flour germinated for 72h proved to be the best for highest nutrient content. The reduction of bulk density further increased as germination time increased.

Children between the ages of 2 to 5 years can be picky eaters and adding vegetables such as mushrooms into their diets can be a challenge. Objective : This study involved the development of mushroom-based food products acceptable to children within this age bracket through a stepwise approach. Materials and Methods : Sensory attributes of three tropical edible mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus (EMI), Pleurotus sajor-caju (PSCW) and Auricularia ssp. (ART), were characterized using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA), using 30 descriptors. The QDA revealed that all three mushrooms differ distinctly from each other in appearance, mouthfeel and aftertaste. The aroma and flavour profiles of EM1 and PSCW mushrooms were comparable. From the QDA, EMI and PSCW were selected and used to formulate six mushroom-based food prototypes; three of which included cereals and the other three had orange–flesh yellow potato flour as main components. The 6 prototype foods were then assessed by three sets of focus groups of caregivers and mothers on the suitability of using the mushrooms in the preparation of foods for children of the target age. Two mushroom-based food products, one with cereal blends and the other with 30% orange flesh yellow potato flour were further subjected to consumer-liking tests involving 83 children 2-5 years old. and this final test established the mushrooms can be incorporated into children’s diet. Conclusion : The study established two of the mushrooms could be used as flavourant; EMI mushroom suitable for fish or savory-flavoured products whilst the PSCW mushroom was preferred for nutty-flavoured products and these two when used in mushroom-based foods were highly acceptable to children 2 to 5 year old.","PeriodicalId":14174,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82329613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the physiological effects of thiamine and quinine was investigated for in vitro contraction of mouse ileum. Acetylcholine stimulates autonomous contraction of mouse ileum in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of Acetylcholine for contraction of ileum was partly suppressed by the adrenaline administration. Upon simultaneous treatment of the ileum by acetylcholine, thiamine, and quinine decreased the maximum contraction. The period till half maximum contraction was prolonged by the presence of thiamine and quinine but not by adrenaline. Because a physiological effect of thiamine and quinine was observed on acetylcholine-induced contraction of the ileum, the repertoire of human bitter taste receptors, TAS2R-1, -4, -7, -10, -14, -31, -39, -40, -43, and -46, were investigated to which thiamine and quinine may bind. These human bitter taste receptors were further analyzed among the database for mouse homologs using evolutionally conserved amino acid sequences. The only bitter receptor for both thiamine and quinine was TAS2R-39, the homology of TAS2R-139 to human TAS2R-39 was 74%. Importantly, the homology of mouse TAS2R-119 to human TAS2R-1 which interact with thiamine was 91%, and that of TAS2R-130 to human TAS2R-7 that interact with quinine was 81%. The present study indicated that thiamine and quinine changed the early phase of contraction of ileum in mice and suggested that TAS2R119 and TAS2R130 expressed in mouse enteroendocrine cells to modify the physiological effects of thiamine and quinine on the acetylcholine-induced contraction of the ileum.","PeriodicalId":14174,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83081148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
