Many features and functions of dietary fats and oils have been studied extensively by the scientific community, with a focus on their impacts on human health. In this realm, an abundance of research has focused on the contribution of dietary fats and oils to the development of cardiovascular diseases, which is often attributed to their impact on the concentration of cholesterol in the blood. Such research has established that the degree of saturation plays a critical role in the impact of fats on cholesterol levels. Thus, consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids decreases serum and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol levels, while saturated fatty acids have cholesterol-increasing effects. Coconut and oil palm are the most prevalent sources of plant-derived saturated fatty acids in the diet, and in recent years there has been much debate centered around their health impacts throughout the scientific community. Consumers are hungry for scientific, fact-based guidance from reputable sources, as perception of these fat sources varies greatly from decade-to-decade, year-to-year, and month-to-month. This review on plant-derived saturated fats aims to put forth the most current research and issues related to cultivation, manufacturing of oils and derivatives, food applications, as well as health benefits and concerns, to allow the scientific community and consumers to make informed decisions when selecting foods to include as part of a healthful diet.","PeriodicalId":319691,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130970195","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}

Data were analyzed using value chain mapping, percentage and cross-tabulations of frequency distribution. The result from the value chain analysis indicates the main actors in the study area include input suppliers, producers, brokers, wholesalers, processors, traders, and consumers, while the supporting actors are DAs, BoARD, cooperatives/unions, trade and industry office, and financial/credit institutions. Farmers receive a low-profit shares (23.81%) despite the fact that they are determined to produce quality wheat and bearing all the related risk of production. Farmers in the study area encounter marketing problem during harvesting seasons which accommodate the cost of production and create profit. Likewise, the well function of wheat value chain enhances the food security status of the poor in increasing their production and productivity, and generating income which increases their economic capacity. Therefore, the study recommends the government and other stakeholder should create effective and efficient market which benefit the farmers on one hand and strengthening the well function of value chain which increases the participation of the farmers in the chain.","PeriodicalId":319691,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"593 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123043988","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}

Thus, they are passed into the lower gut without being digested where they are fermented and liberate a substantial amount of gas (CO2, H2 and CH4) which result in flatulence and hence can be considered as anti-nutritional factors as they cause abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, flatulence and others. RFOs are widely distributed in various crops. Leguminous plants for example are one of the most important plant food materials, for they are the concentrated and low cost sources of protein for the vegan population and low income societies. However, they are under-utilized in various countries specially developed countries because of the anti-nutritional factors including flatulence factor, raffinose family oligosaccharides. Apart from these anti-nutritional properties, RFOs is also among the important food components when consumed moderately. It is among the health promoting components of foods as it facilitates the growth of important microflora in the gut, enhance the activities of antioxidant enzyme system, hepatoprotective and other multiple health benefits. Therefore, it is very important to reduce RFOs to certain optimal amount only to reduce their adverse anti-nutritional effect and utilize their advantages.","PeriodicalId":319691,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114746378","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 objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of newly introduced coffee post- harvest machineries and driers on coffee raw, cup and total quality as compared to the conventional processing methods. Different methods, such as normal fermentation (conventional) and drying in sun, normal fermentation and drying in artificial drier, normal fermentation dried in poly tunnel drier, demucilager pulped and dried in sun, demucilager pulped and dried in artificial drier and demucilager pulped dried in poly tunnel were used for coffee sample preparation. The experiment was conducted during the 2017/18 and 2018/19 cropping season at Limmu Kossa coffee plantation. Both raw and cup quality parameters were evaluated by a team of certified panelists at Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) coffee processing and quality analysis laboratory and analyzed using completely Randomized Design (CRD). Physical coffee quality parameters such as Bean size, Bean shape and make, color and odor showed no statistically significant (P > 0.05) difference for all preparation methods. The highest values of cup quality parameters like Acidity (AC), astringency (AS), bitterness (BI), body (BO), flavor (FL) and overall quality (OAQ) were recorded for coffee samples prepared using demucilager pulper and dried in tunnel drier. Samples pulped by demucilager and dried in poly tunnel drier exhibited the highest values, 35.67, 47.50 and 83.17, for raw, cup and total quality, respectively.
