Intentional tampering with food content at any stage of production, processing and trade, may have far reaching implication as it may constitute a risk to human, animal, plant and environmental health. Therefore, there is need for quality of a foods to be genuine and undisputed in its nature, origin, identity, and claims, and meet expected properties (i.e., authentic). Ensuring food authenticity necessitates efficient and effective tracing and tracking of food products, particularly those with low production levels visà-vis demand, coupled with high nutritional, medicinal and or economic values. Detection of food fraud remains complex when considering the complex nature of foods. Besides discussing food fraud and related terminologies, this paper focuses on the combined spectroscopy and chemometrics approach for assessment of food authenticity Understanding of the nature of fraud, gathering the appropriate datasets, establishing global partnerships (where need be), predicting vulnerability, while employing food management systems, may facilitate management and or prevention of food fraud. Viewing the complex nature of food, and then with intentional tampering with its nature, detecting fraud associated with any given food and or food product remains complex. Spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics, although sophisticated, have revealed a good fit for the job, and hand held tools such as Scio (consumer physics, which is used to scan foods in the IR range) have been made to surpass the challenge.","PeriodicalId":303888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition and Diet Management","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139336927","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":"Ayurvedic Methods to Treat Malnourished Children","authors":"Sudhir Joshi","doi":"10.59462/jndm.1.1.105","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59462/jndm.1.1.105","url":null,"abstract":"Malnutrition in children is a dangerous threat to any civilization. The reasons for this condition are complex. This issue is being addressed with extraordinary diligence. In this present circumstance Ayurved can assume a conclusive part and hence an undertaking was considered targeting working on the heaviness of malnourished kids. Charak samhita-a pillar for treatment reason in Ayurved has decribed fifty gatherings, each containing ten therapeutic plants, known as dashemaani that are profoundly unambiguous, condition situated plants. In the present study, as per principles of Ayurved, the malnourished children were considered in Kaarshya condition/ Ras, Rakta, Maansa dhatu kshaya i.e condition of depleted muscle and fatty tissue and treated in that congruence. Nine children were selected for the study. To rectify it Vidarikand-Ipomoea digitata, a herb indicated in Brimhaniya-(drugs which increase weight of body) and Snehopag (drugs that increase the unctuousness and which oleate the body) dashemani and YashtimadhuGlychrhizza glabra indicated in Jivniya (which increase vitality of body) and Snehopag dashemani were selected. A trial of combination of Yashtimadhu and Vidarikand for treatment of malnutrition hasn’t been carried out before but various research pointing towards their potential have done in an individual manner. Sonia et al in their paper “Ksheervidar (Ipomoea Digitata) an underutilised medicinal plant- an update “ have stressed its multiple use along with its nutritional values. In a similar way, a number of studies have been conducted on Yashtimadhu, such as Debrata das et al.’s paper “Protective effect of Yashtimadhu against side effects of radiation/chemotherapy in head and neck malignancies” (its counteracting effect against radiation). However, no study has been conducted solely on Yashtimadhu’s effect on weight gain, so the study was designed. In the ongoing review the outcomes got were very uplifting. Five kids were overhauled weight wise and different youngsters also showed moderate weight gain. An improvement in subjective criteria revealed drugs’ holistic effects. The aftereffects of this pilot project shows the immense potential Ayurved can propose in tackling in this grave issue and its enormous scope study and execution would be truly commendable.","PeriodicalId":303888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition and Diet Management","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139336940","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":"Food and Health Safety of Prebiotics: A Review of Current Evidence","authors":"Wilfred Angie Abia","doi":"10.59462/jndm.1.1.104","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59462/jndm.1.1.104","url":null,"abstract":"Food substances or carbohydrates which are indigestible but energize the growth and/or activity of useful bacteria in the digestive system and make the digestive system work more efficiently are referred to as prebiotics. Prebiotics support the growth of good gut bacteria and the association of various potential health benefits. They are a safe dietary addition that, when consumed in the correct amounts, offer many health benefits. This review article sums up the current research on the safety of prebiotics. Prebiotics may have some positive results, but there have been some safety worries about their use, which has called more attention to learning more about their safety characteristics. Reports have been published on a few possible aftereffects, which include dilate and gastrointestinal agony. After the consumption of prebiotics for some days, these negative effects are usually moderated. Prebiotics are governed by several organizations, including the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority. Before prebiotics are placed on the shelf on sale, the manufacturers ensure compliance with regulations and instructions. People with preexisting medical conditions or those taking medications are advised to consult their doctor before ingesting prebiotics. Although some people may experience slight gastrointestinal discomfort, human and animal consumption of prebiotics is generally considered harmless. People with particular medical conditions might even benefit from prebiotics.","PeriodicalId":303888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition and Diet Management","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139336844","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}
