Therefore, this study was aimed on determining the prevalence of thinness and its associated factors among adolescent girls attending high schools in Soro District, Hadiya Zone, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: Institution based comparative cross sectional study design was employed. The study was conducted from March 15 to April 15, 2019 in high schools of rural and urban settings of Sorro District, Hadiya Zone. Both binary and multivariable logistic regression analysis were done to identify the factors associated with thinness among adolescent girls. Result: A total of 414 adolescent girls were participated in this study making the response rate of 100%. The mean age were (17.01± 1.55) and 16.90 ± 1.48, P = 0.437) among adolescent girls in rural and urban high schools respectively. The overall prevalence of the thinness among female adolescents attending high schools in Soro district, Hadiya Zone was 6.8%. There was no statistically significant difference in thinness among adolescent girls in rural and urban high schools. Household wealth tertile AOR: 4.19; 95% C.I: 1.13-15.47, P <0.05, source of drinking water AOR: 2.31; 95% C.I: 1.01- 5.30, P <0.05, dietary diversity AOR: 3.99; C.I: 1.15-13.82, P <0.05 and skipping breakfast AOR: 2.97; C.I: 1.28-6.92, P <0.05 were found to be independent factors associated with thinness. Conclusion: Being low in household wealth tertile, unprotected source of drinking water, inadequate dietary diversity and skipping breakfast were those factors identified to be independently associated with thinness among female adolescents. Attention should be given from government and nongovernmental organizations by empowering household economic capacity, extending access for pure drinking water and increasing nutrition sensitive agriculture focusing on maintaining food varieties.","PeriodicalId":173678,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition & Food Science","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134241232","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}

Gluten-free bread has recently gained popularity as a result of its acceptability for celiac disease sufferers. During proofing and baking, however, the batters do not retain carbon dioxide gas. In comparison to typical wheat breads, this results in a bread with a smaller loaf and specific volume, low moisture, thick structure, crumply texture, and high crumb hardness. One of the most important variables in maintaining and searching for replacement components to replace gluten qualities for attractive product quality and structure is product idea expertise. In this context, non-gluten ingredients such as starch, sourdough, gums/ hydrocolloids, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, whey protein, and dietary fiber help to improve gluten-free bread quality. Furthermore, adding Gum to gluten-free flour enhances dough features by boosting water absorption capacity and making the dough viscoelastic, resulting in enhanced loaf and specific volume, soft texture, and a longer shelf life by delaying bread staling. Food gums could be widely used in the baking industry to improve water holding capacity, control food pasting properties and improve moisture content, modify product texture, volume, and cell structure, and maintain overall product quality during storage and shelf life by keeping moisture content constant and delaying staling. The goal of this study was to accesses the rheological characteristics and quality of non-gluten components for dough quality enhancement.","PeriodicalId":173678,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition & Food Science","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114772663","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}

Milk is a natural, multi-component, nutrient-rich beverage. Market trends indicate that milk-based beverages are ideal vehicles for newly discovered bioactive food ingredients targeting lifestyle diseases. Drinks containing combinations of dairy and fruit juices with added bioactive components are also becoming common in markets. Goat is one of the oldest domesticated animals. In ancient times, goat milk was valued the most. Goat milk still plays an important role in human nutrition. The contribution of goats in supplying milk and milk products is high and it has significant role in rural economy and health. Goat’s milk is the most highly consumed milk in many other parts of the world and it is delicious as well as extremely nutritious. It has vitamins, minerals, trace elements, electrolytes, enzymes, proteins, and fatty acids that are easily assimilated by the body. Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) which are more in goat milk have been recognized as unique lipid with unique health benefits. Goat’s milk has a similarity to human milk that is unmatched in bovine (cow) milk and also has several medicinal values.
