In this study two types of holding equipment were tested, a temperature containment cabinet and a steam table. Three different food items were used to monitor and measure changes in the temperature and changes in the quality of the foods. All three food items used in testing were meat products. The temperature of food products held over time was measured comparing the results from the two types of equipment, and their ability to maintain temperature. Additionally the study evaluated the sensory qualities of taste, texture, appearance, and overall quality of these foods items at various time intervals from both holding devices.","PeriodicalId":203069,"journal":{"name":"Foodservice Research International","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125898519","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}

As international nutrition recommendations have been shown to be similar, focusing on specific food selection and food grouping is important when cooking healthy balanced meals in various cuisines.","PeriodicalId":203069,"journal":{"name":"Foodservice Research International","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116160387","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}

Therefore the Council of Europe in 1999 decided to establish an ad hoc group consisting of national experts to look further into the problem. Since then the group has studied the current practices in Europe regarding hospital foodservice and has issued guidelines to improve the nutritional care and foodservice practices. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000The result of the study points at a number of major problems related to the different staff groups, the patients and the management. Among the staff groups involved in foodservice and nutritional care there seems to be a lack of clearly defined responsibilities, and a lack of educational possibilities, as well as a lack of cooperation between those groups. Foodservice and nutritional care does not pay sufficient attention to the rights of the patients and their needs for information, and, finally, hospital management seems unaware of the key role of both foodservice and nutritional care. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Different staff groups must combine efforts in order to make foodservice become successful nutrition. Among these groups, the foodservice staff is a key player, though ward staff, physicians, dietitians, nurses and hospital orderlies also are relevant. It is the responsibility of the hospital management to make these groups work together, however, without the support of skilled experts and professionals in the hospital environment very little will be done.

Botulinal toxin was detected by the immunoassay and bacteriocins, by well diffusion assay. In the products supporting active growth of C. botulinum the co-incubation with the PCs singularly and as a mixture reduced C. botulinum populations to undetectable levels and prevented toxigenesis, their PH was reduced to 4.2-5.0. The use of a mixture did not produce a more rapid inhibition than the singular PC. The bactericidal effect on C. botulinum populations was associated with bacteriocin production (100-400 IU/g) if nisin and 35 AU/g of pediocin A) by the PCs. Static C. botulinum populations in products with low PH and vegetable-based products were unaffected by the PCs. This confirmed the bacteriostatic effect of low PH and demonstrated that ungerminated C. botulinum spores were resistant to inhibition.","PeriodicalId":203069,"journal":{"name":"Foodservice Research International","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"119916432","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 purpose of this survey was to assess Louisiana dietitians' use of technology for improving their personal productivity. A pretested questionnaire concerning technology use and availability, interest in continuing education in the use of technology, and computer anxiety was mailed to a random sample of 200 of the 808 dietitians in Louisiana. Of the surveys returned (43%), 86% were usable. The dietitians reported high personal productivity with 71 (83%) “usually” using their time effectively and efficiently. Overall technology use was only 31.2 ± 9.9 points on a 64-point scale. Dietitians who used more technology reported higher productivity than those who used less (p < 0.05). Phone answering machines (58%), computers (44%), word processing programs (37%), facsimile machines (30%), and pagers (24%) were the most regularly used technology. Respondents scored an average of 71.59 ± 8.94 points on the Computer Anxiety Index, significantly different from the norm of 60.25 ± 18.50 points for other groups (p < 0.01). This finding indicates that Louisiana dietitians experience moderate computer anxiety. Dietitians not working were more computer anxious than those who worked full-time (p < 0.05). Technology use and computer anxiety were inversely related (r = -0.37). In order to work effectively, dietitians need to justify, obtain, and regularly use technological advances. Educators and employers need to provide technology training in a supportive environment.","PeriodicalId":203069,"journal":{"name":"Foodservice Research International","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129448807","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}
