The nutritive components of lentil have several beneficial influences on human health. The current review aims to highlight the present knowledge on the mineral, amino acid, lipids, vitamins and carbohydrate composition of lentils. Thereby, a literature search was conducted using reliable sources: Elsevier, Research gate, Springer, etc to understand the overall nutritive status of lentils. The proximate composition of lentils is similar when compared with other legumes but the seed contains low concentrations of fat, fiber. Lentils supply a reasonably balanced range of all minerals. Lentils contain a number of anti-nutritive factors and these may be controlled either by processing or possibly by plant breeding programs. Anti-nutritive factors are less important In human diets because of cooking and processing which normally occur prior to eating, Lentils have a potential as a protein concentrate and could be processed to produce many products similar to those produced from soya beans. Lentils should be used for a variety of purposes, mainly towards eliminating malnutrition, on the condition of being well-balanced. Lentils should be incorporated either in snacks or while preparing household, school, or hospital meals, particularly in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":254980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127239950","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}

It was a cross-sectional, observational, quantitative, descriptive, and analytical study, carried out in a Higher Education Institution. Sociodemographic, food consumption and anthropometric data were collected, in addition to the self-reported presence of any chronic disease, from August 2019 to January 2020. Anthropometric data were classified according to the WHO, characterizing the nutritional status and the presence of risk for CVD. Food frequency was analyzed by food groups, correlated with risk for CVD (eg consumption of soft drinks and sweets, whole milk, red meat with apparent fat and added salt). Data tabulation was performed in Microsoft Excel 2019 and statistical analyzes in SPSS 22.0. All data were collected after approval by the ethics committee and participants signed an informed consent form. Eighty employees were evaluated, 65% women, aged between 20 and 29 years old (50%, 62.5%), brown with 56.70% and with at least complete high school (52.5%). In the BMI, 68.75% were overweight (p= 0.172). Regarding the classification of WC, 62.5% of the population has a moderate to high risk according to their classification, with a difference between genders (p=0.00). In PC, 77.5% are obese and overweight (p=0.639). In WHtR, 75% of women and 60.7% of men had risk values, with no difference between genders (p=0.184). In both sexes, they ingested soda and artificial drinks from 1 to 2 days a week, where 42.9% were men and 30.8% were women (p = 0.654), consuming sweets 1 to 2 days a week, with the percentage of 37,5% (p=0.431). Vegetables and vegetables cooked, 3 to 4 times a week, 45% of the population consumed and 26.25% rarely consumed these raw foods. In red meat with visible fat, it was observed that most of the population consumes (57.5%) and whole milk (70%). Employees also presented as a protective factor for hypertension and dyslipidemia the presence of milk consumption and as a risk, and a higher risk when they had a BMI >25kg/m2. Thus, it could be observed that there is a large consumption of foods with saturated fats such as red meat and sugars such as soft drinks, sweets and artificial drinks that end up contributing to excess weight, cardiovascular risks and it is possible to identify how eating habits and the indicators are related to the development of chronic diseases.","PeriodicalId":254980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127779066","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}

Face to face interview was carried out with the semi-structured questionnaire. Convenient sampling technique was used to collect data on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and written consent was taken prior to interview. Nutritional status was determined according to BMI cut off value for Asian population. Descriptive as well as inferential statistics were used to present data. Mean±SD age of respondents was 34.27±8.60. More than half (67%) of the respondents were illiterate and housewife (84%). Mean±SD income of respondents was 5700.71±282.89 per month. Underweight, normal and overweight were 67%, 30% and 3% respectively. Most respondents took rice 2-3times/day. Vegetables and soyabean were taken randomly. Lentil was taken daily.

However, the economy associated with the cultivation of fique in the department of Santander is weak and optimal production practices have greatly been abandoned by farmers because of poor market demand in the last two decades. However, new market demand for natural, eco-friendly fibers to replace plastic opens up better opportunities for fique producers. The objective of this study was to provide a macro view of the current fique market in Colombia and its potential in modern markets. The study of production aspects, economic situation and market potential was conducted with 25 producing families where relevant information to characterize the current situation was obtained. Data on production practices, market access and economic situation was collected. The results revealed that fique production can help improve the economic situation of rural families in Santander, but that the production system can be improved and optimized to generate a higher income. Currently, there is a market potential in natural fibers, but more investments need to be made to train farmers in sustainable production practices and compliance with new standards and certifications. Additionally, local artisans need to improve the products they produce with the fiber to meet the new demands in the eco-friendly, natural fiber market. A set of strategies and recommendations for improved market access for small-scale producers and artisans using both modern and traditional techniques was drawn.","PeriodicalId":254980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127888673","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}
