Some plants extracts of green tea (GTE), roselle\u0000(RE), lemon grass (LGE) and olive leaf (OLE) were added individually during the preparation of beef burger. These\u0000extracts were tested against some pathogenic bacteria. Some chemical attributes and sensory evaluation of the product\u0000were investigated during storage of the product at 4 ºC for 18 days. These plants extracts showed high antioxidant activity\u0000for the tested sample due to their content of natural compounds such as phenolic compounds during cold storage. Phenolic\u0000content in green tea and olive leaf extracts were significantly higher than in roselle and lemon grass extracts. Sensory\u0000evaluation showed high scores for the tested samples. Bacteriological analysis revealed that the mean total bacterial count\u0000was ranged from 5.09 to 6.0 log10 (cfu/g). While mould and yeast mean count ranged from 1.87 to 3.46 log10 (cfu/g) and\u0000coliform bacterial count ranged from less than 102\u0000cfu/g. Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes\u0000were not detected in all treatments of beef burger. This study showed that the addition of natural antioxidant extracts for beef\u0000burger could improve quality and provide safe product during storage by reducing microbial growth and lipid oxidation.","PeriodicalId":173678,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition & Food Science","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124307725","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}

{"title":"The Effect of Nutrient-Dense Foods in Older, Elite Pickleball Athletes","authors":"","doi":"10.33140/anfs.04.01.05","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33140/anfs.04.01.05","url":null,"abstract":"Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport, especially among older individuals. Competitive players are elite athletes like those\u0000of any other sport, and nutritional information is lacking. The purpose of this two-week, single-arm, prospective study was\u0000to determine if elite pickleball athletes can improve quality of life with nutrient-dense foods. Subjects, with an average age\u0000of 55 ± 8 years, were recruited at a competition and were all avid players. Three nutrient-dense foods were provided daily\u0000– a brain-enhancing shake to improve focus, a bar to increase energy, and a hot meal to help with endurance and recovery.\u0000Ten, general quality of life questions used a rating system of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. Four pickleball-targeted questions\u0000were asked using Yes (noticed a change) or No (no change). Three of these four were also asked using the numeric rating\u0000system. During week 1, about half of the participants (47%; 7/15) consumed one brain-enhancing product daily, but more\u0000consumed one energy bar daily (80%; 12/15) and the meals (60%; 9/15). At week 2, fewer participants consumed the one\u0000brain-enhancing shake daily (13%) and one meal daily (20%); but all consumed one energy bar each day. Participants\u0000engaged in exercise more than 500 minutes each week. For the ten general quality of life indicators, the range of the\u0000percentage change that showed improvement was 8% to 27%. Only Gastrointestinal issues worsened by 23%. The greatest\u0000improvements were seen in: Sleeping better (27%), Feeling full (24%), and Passion (21%). The four pickleball-targeted\u0000quality of life questions improved: 40% had better Endurance and Recovery; 33% had more Energy; and 27% had better\u0000Focus. The three questions that were asked using both systems showed similar improvements. The ability to improve quality\u0000of life in elite athletes exceeds what others have found. In summary, nutrient-dense foods can be readily incorporated into\u0000the lives of older, elite pickleball athletes and improve quality of life indicators.","PeriodicalId":173678,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition & Food Science","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117128531","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}

However, maize is naturally deficient in lysine and tryptophan,\u0000which are two of eight amino acids regarded as essential for humans and are necessarily to be part of a balanced diet.\u0000In light of the above deficiency found in traditional maize the use of Quality Protein Maize (QPM) has brought its usage\u0000more productive.\u0000QPM differs from common maize in the weight distribution of the five protein fractions. The extent of the change is variable\u0000and affected by genotype and cultural conditions. It has been found, however, that the opaque-2 gene reduces the concentration\u0000of zein by some 30 percent. As a result, lysine and tryptophan content is higher in QPM varieties than in common maize.\u0000QPM based value added products are not available in the market for the consumer, even though products developed from\u0000maize have high market potential and are most important food alternative to protein malnourished and gluten sensitive\u0000patients. Centre of Excellence on Processing & Value Addition of Maize” initiated in 2014 under nutri farm pilot scheme,\u0000Government of India, has developed more than 20 innovative products of maize (Bakery products: Nankhatai, Bread, Toast,\u0000Cakes, Salted Cookies, Soya Protein Biscuit, Coconut Cookies, Muffins; Extruded Products: Whey and Butter milk based\u0000Pastine, Puffcorn; Traditional Prodcuts: Fortified popcorn, Khaman, Dhokla, Ladoo, Namkeen, Shakkarpara, Mathri).\u0000Most of the products have been analyzed for their nutrient content at Food Laboratory of Junagadh Agriculture University,\u0000Junagadh, Gujrat. Further they were subjected to panel of judges & consumers for their organoleptic acceptability and\u0000they all were found in the category of “liked moderately” to “liked extremely” category of 9 point hedonic scale. Out of\u0000several developed few products like Nankhatai, Pastine Khaman, coconut cookies & cake were introduced to market, small\u0000shops, & bakery outlets.\u0000It was observed that these products have great market potential and may be introduced as the alternatives/ replacement to\u0000the refined wheat flour. Results showed that the protein concentrations improved in the developed QPM based products.\u0000Salted biscuits were consumable by all age group as snack with tea or coffee. Pasta is partially cooked extruded product\u0000which was strongly liked by children and has high market potential. It can be concluded that incorporation of quality protein\u0000maize in place of refined wheat flour improved the quality of the maize products in terms of organoleptic acceptability and\u0000nutritional parameters. Hence blend of QPM flour and refined wheat flour has potential as an alternative to replace refined\u0000wheat flour intake for better health and innovative commercializable product.","PeriodicalId":173678,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition & Food Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131290576","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}

The technology and environmental conditions necessary for the sustained mass production of Nori limits the Philippines despite its abundant supply of Porphyra. This situation contributes to higher retail prices of Sushi. Hence, an experiment was undertaken whereby Jute (Corchorus olitorius), highly prized for its fiber and nutritious content, was used to make a Sushi wrap similar to Nori. Thirty (30) respondents from a local university gave a higher rating to the Jute Sushi for appearance, aroma, taste, and texture compared to the standard Nori Sushi. T-test results showed no significant difference between the two samples, which confirms Jute to be a viable substitute for Nori.
