Sugar, sucralose, butter, co-conut-oil, animal and plant-based milk types were add-ed and milk types&sweeteners were combined separately. TAS and TOS were measured and oxidative stress indice (OSI) was calculated. TAS value of coffee with whole milk was the highest among all coffee types. TOS values of coffee with soy milk, with soy milk+sugar and soy milk+sucralose were lower than all other coffee types. When compared to OSI val-ues, coffee with soy milk, with soy milk+sugar and soy milk+sucralose had the lowest OSI values among all coffee types. Moreover, ad-dition of coconut-oil to cof-fee samples increased the TOS and OSI values of cof-fees. While the TOS and OSI of the sugar and su-cralose addition were found higher in comparison to plain coffee; TOS and OSI of the sucralose addition was lower than those sugar combinations. In conclu-sion, the OSI of the coffee may change depending on the alterations of chemical structures and nutritional matrices by the added in-gredients. The addition of soy milk or sucralose in-stead of sugar or whole cow milk instead of oil-based ingredients could be a promising strategy of reduc-ing the oxidative capacity.","PeriodicalId":15823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Health","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73129336","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}

Major aim is to investigate cytotoxic effect of Turkish propolis on human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma (HEp-2) cells. HEp-2 cells/well were loaded on RTCA(real time cell analysis) system and the cell index was followed up during 48 hours. Water extract of Turkish propolis (WEP) of 250-10.000 μg/mL concentrations and ethanolic extracts of Turkish propolis (EEP) of 10-2.400 μg/mL concentrations were treated with HEp-2 cells and followed by RTCA system. The cell indexes and IC50 values were determined. HEp-2 cells were incubated with WEP and EEP. Proliferation was followed by flow cytometric DNA cycle analysis. WEP and EEP were found to be cytotoxic to HEp-2 cells. When WEP and EEP were incubated with HEp-2 cells during 72 hours, the highest antiproliferative effect was seen by interfering DNA cycles. Turkish propolis extracts were found to be cytotoxic and antiproliferative to HEp- 2 cells in the present study, therefore, it was concluded that it may fall within chemotherapy or target therapies for larynx cancers.","PeriodicalId":15823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Health","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83962737","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 study aimed to compare the effects of pasteurization and boiling on goat and cow milk's macromolecular contents, glutathione levels, and superoxide dismutase activities. The protein level of both types of milk decreased with the pasteurization process, and boiling also reduced the protein level of goat milk. Both heat treatments reduced superoxide dismutase activity and glutathione levels in both types of milk. While the boiling process did not change the cow's milk lactose level, it increased the goat milk lactose level. It was determined that pasteurization reduced the lactose level in both types of milk. Pasteurization did not change the fat level in cow milk but decreased the fat level in goat milk. In conclusion, cow milk was less affected by these heat treatments, which can be attributed to having large fat globules, high lactose concentration, and high heat resistance protein content compared to goat milk.","PeriodicalId":15823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Health","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84568990","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 study was carried out with 385 university students who have been in social isolation at home for at least 2 months. The online survey was constituted via an internet-based questionnaire on Google forms. The survey includes demographics features, body weight, eating habits, change in appetite and consumption of food/food groups. COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) and the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) were used. Results: Both males and females had similar scores from C19P-S and MEQ. Body weight and BMI of students significantly increased during the pandemic period (p<0.05). The percentage of being underweight decreased and being pre-obese/obese increased during the pandemic period. The percentage of the increase in the consumption of sweets, toffees, candies and foods with sugar was high in both groups (male: 48.2%; female: 47.1%). The most increased consumption of food groups was fruit, and also fast food was the most decreased among the consumption of food groups in this study. In addition, a negative correlation was found between C19P-S and MEQ scores (r=-0.214, p<0.001). And also there was a negative correlation between the MEQ subscale of emotional eating scores and psychological, psycho-somatic and social subscales of C19P-S (p<0.01). C19P-S scores had significantly higher in those with increased or decreased appetite and MEQ scores had significantly higher in those who have decreased or unchanged appetite. COVID-19 phobia can affect mindful eating and eating habits during the social isolation/pandemic period in university students. It is important to increase mindful eating during the pandemic, to provide adequate and balanced nutrition, to reduce the risk of disease and to affect the course of the disease positively.","PeriodicalId":15823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89246140","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 addition, the samples were cooked by steaming and deep-fried, cooking losses were determined, and sensory analyzes were carried out on the cooked samples. While the vitamin C content of potato slices without vacuum impregnation was determined as 14.13±0.08 mg/100g, this amount was increased by 65% with the vacuum impregnation process and determined as 39.42±0.15 mg/100g. The vitamin D contents of the potato slices, which were below the limit of detection value (LOD) in the control sample, were increased approximately six times by the vacuum impregnation process. The antioxidant capacity values of the vacuum impregnated samples were also increased (approximately 23% in the DPPH method and approximately 6.5% in the ABTS method) compared to the control sample. While very low losses were observed in the vitamin content in the steam cooking method, the vitamin D content was reduced by half in the frying process. As a result of sensory analysis, no statistical difference was found between the vacuum-impregnated samples and the control sample.
