Supermarket shopping (73.9%) was the most preferred way to supply food, while the primary stocked up food was dried legumes (59.1%). The nutritional values and contents of foods were more paid attention to than before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the packaged foods (79.3%) were primarily preferred. The most preferred methods for cleaning fresh fruits and vegetables were washing under running water (59.7%) and soaking in water with vinegar (43.2%). The participants intended to eat healthy foods during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the daily meal counts increased slightly. Food supplements, mainly vitamin C (73%) and vitamin D (40.5%) were consumed to strengthen the immune system. Additionally, social media (31.9%) and TV programs (20.3%) were very effective after medical doctor recommendations (32%) for orienting the nutritional behaviors of participants.","PeriodicalId":15823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Health","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87977297","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}

There was a growing need for natural foods that can be used as a substitute for antihyperglycemic drugs and may lower the blood sugar levels of diabetes Mellitus patients without burdening the kidneys and causing other side effects. Citrulline, one of the amino acids that are useful for the immune system and improving blood flow circulation, is found in the white peel of watermelon in greater levels compared to the citrulline content of other fruits. Previous research has shown that citrulline supplementation significantly lowered fasting blood sugar and HbA1c as well as inflammatory biomarkers, including in obese subjects. Methods conducted in this study include watermelon peel extract making, jackfruit seed drink making, proximate analysis, total phenol testing, organoleptic testing, and data analysis. The results of proximate testing on jackfruit seed drink with additional citrulline (F1) were F1 samples consisting of 92.31% water, 0.47% protein, 0.99% fat, 0.00% ash, and 6.23% total carbohydrates. Sensory analysis revealed that the flavor of the drink was disliked, while the aroma of the drink was somewhat liked. The addition of watermelon peel extract in jackfruit seed drinks may increase nutrition value, antioxidant content, and has the potential to be a functional drink with antioxidant content and blood sugar reduction effects as antidiabetics.","PeriodicalId":15823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83633585","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}

In general, cocktails did make from fruits, so that to process cocktails from vegetables, proper formulations and methods are needed to be well received by consumers. This research will study the exact formulation in the manufacture of products cocktail vegetable filler that cocktail of vegetables acceptable to consumers based on quality organoleptic and chemical quality (pH and total dissolved solids).

In the present study, six spontaneous hybrid plants and their parents were analyzed for their essential oil contents. Male sterile S. officinalis were used as maternal plant, S. fruticosa and S. aramiensis were probable paternals where they were cultivated nearby.

Experimental colitis was induced by injection of 200 mg/kg 2,4-Dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (DNBS). The probiotic and the omega-3 fatty acid supplements were applied daily by oral gavage. Serum polyamine levels were measured with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In each group, the levels of serum polyamines are the highest in spermidine and the least in spermine. Bowel inflammation in experimentally induced colitis mice resulted in lower serum polyamine concentrations. In probiotic and omega 3 fatty acid supplemented group significant decreases were observed for spermine and spermidine (p<0.001), while no significant changes were obtained for putrescine. Combined supplementation of probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids for 10 days in colitis mice significantly decreased the serum levels of spermine and spermidine.","PeriodicalId":15823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Health","volume":"53 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77836055","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}
