World Bank1 has given surprising information i.e. the global loss of social productivity in one year that is caused by three overlapping types of malnutrition (nutritional stunting, underweight and wasting), iodine deficiency disorder, deficiency of iron and vitamin Ais equivalent to 46million years of productive, disabilityfree life. This is really a matter of thinking deeply. Rayhan & Khan2 says that over population and poverty are huge problem in Bangladesh and tend to cause population hazards like malnutrition among pre-school children who are naturally innocent, vulnerable and dependent. Bangladesh has a number of ethnic minor group population and they lead their life in great ethnic diverse fashion.3 They constitute about 1% of total population.3 They are distributed in scattered way all over the hilly, riverine and dense forest region of the country.3 There are 45 different ethnic groups in Bangladesh with a total population of more than 12lakh.3 Tribal people are distinct from Bengali people by their ethnic origin, culture, feeding practice, literacy rate and profession.4 Chittagong Hill Tract is a unique, charming and tourist friendly environment characterized by hilly and remote terrain, barrier in communication, ethnic diversity a different settlement pattern.5 Both Government and Non-Government Organization (NGO) are trying to provide health and nutrition services in order to improve health and nutrition status of tribal people particularly women, children and adolescent girl in CHT.5 The majority of tribal population (778,425) live in rural, forest and hilly settings, where many practices shifting cultivation.5 Bandarban is a district in South-Eastern Bangladesh, and a part of the Chittagong Division.6 It is one of the three districts that make up the Chittagong Hill Tracts. One of the three hill districts of Bangladesh and a part of the Chittagong Hill Tracts,7 Bandarban (4,479 km2) is not only the remotest district of the country, but also is the least populated (population 4,04,093) where ethnic peoples were 1,79,400 and Bengali peoples were 2,24,693 (Population census 2011). Number of ethnic groups live in the district besides the Bengalis who settling there gradually. Life of these ethnic people is extremely different in terms of cultural variation. Usually ethnic women do hard work both in family, field and market. Ethnic groups are self-dependent because they produce their own food, made their own cloths and try to avoid complex life though each tribe has its own distinctive features. These salient features make them unique area of study. Many of setbacks cannot be well-perceived due-to short of necessary and sufficient information.","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125861465","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}

Dehusking is essential because the outer layers are tough and unedible. This however brings about a loss in its natural antioxidants like phytic acid and polyphenolic compounds because these are mostly present in the outer husk.6–10 Dehusked grain has a very short shelf life due to rancidity caused by the exposure of the polyunsaturated fatty acids present in the unpolished grain to atmospheric oxygen.

There is a need to bridge this gap either by motivate more people to allow organ donation or rely on alternative methods such as improved artificial organ support systems (dialysis machines, bio artificial liver) or search for better ways to circumvent the problems, mainly immunological, with xenografts.1,2 This includes improved methods for suppressing host immunity and growing humanized organs in animals. Recent developments with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have yielded new option-growing organs from pluripotent stem cells derived from the patient’s own tissues. Attempts have been made to grow.1 Stem cells are cells that can specialize into the many different cells found in the human body. Researchers have great hopes that stem cells can one day be used to grow entire organs, or at least groups of specialized cells.3 Xenotransplantation using organ grafts from non-human animals is a possible solution, but the less human the organ the more likely the recipient is to suffer from organ rejection by the immune system.4 But simply using the animal body as a bay for maintaining fully organs until needed is another matter and the effort now is to grow the human organ, or humanized animal organ, within the animal and leave it there until needed.5 Apparently, it is now even possible to grow entire human organs inside animals. In fact, scientists in Japan plan to start systematically growing human organs inside of pigs within 12months.5,6 The goal is to increase the number of organs available for medical transplants. But once a human organ is grown inside a pig, that pig is no longer fully a pig. And without a doubt, that organ will no longer be a fully human organ after it is grown inside the pig.5 Therefore the objective of this paper was to review the trends of growing human organ in farm Animals body and importance of growing human’s organ in farm animal’s body for the society.","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121960875","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}

In the United States, there appears to be a strong desire to breastfeed, with 83.2% (more than 3 million per year) mother/infant dyads breastfeeding at least once shortly after the infants were born.1 This number has exceeded the Healthy People 2020 guideline that challenged healthcare providers to better support breastfeeding initiation.2 With increased awareness of the benefits of providing human milk to infants and the availability of breast pumps, mechanical expression has become more common. Researchers have reported that between 68% and 92% of breastfeeding women express their milk at some point during lactation.3–5 A common reason cited for expressing milk was to store the milk for later use.6,7 Women frequently use a breast pump to increase their milk supply8 and to allow someone else to feed the infant expressed breastmilk.4 Many women begin expressing their milk within the first few days postpartum.8 As using expressed milk becomes increasingly more common, so too, in clinical practice are the anecdotes regarding infants who are refusing to drink the expressed, stored milk. There is a gap in the literature of this event. The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence of infant refusal of expressed, stored human milk and identify any association with how the milk was expressed and how the milk was stored.","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"13 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117266637","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}
