Biofortification is a promising strategy to address the underlying cause of under nutrition, households’ poor access to nutritious food.13 Furthermore, recent studies conducted with human subjects under controlled setting show that biofortification can have an impact on public health. For instance, a school child feeding trial in South Africa showed that consumption of orange-fleshed sweet potato, high in betacarotene, led to improvements in their vitamin A status.14 Likewise, a 9-month feeding experiment in the Philippines showed that frequent consumption of rice containing an extra 2.6 parts per million (ppm) of iron was efficient in improving body iron stores among iron-deficient women.15 The impact of multiple micronutrient fortification, including iron, iodine, and beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A), was studied in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Children receiving fortified biscuits for 43weeks demonstrated improved short-term memory compared with children in the control group.16","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121866078","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}

Lipids contribute approximately half of the total energy intake infants need.1 In human milk during early infant development, these lipids are critical for growth and maturation2 in both the short and long term.3 It is known that the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid are reflective of food intake in the human body.4–6 While omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids transfer to human milk based on maternal diet, very little is converted to longer chain fatty acids such as arachidonic acid (ARA) (converted from LA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (converted from ALA).7 It is unknown whether the fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and arachidonic acid (AA) in human milk are reflective of maternal dietary pattern. Little information is available regarding the day-to-day changes in the lipid profile of human milk in the first few days postpartum with relation to different dietary patterns.

Even NASA astronauts used amaranth as part of their diet in the universe. Botanically, amaranth belongs to the family of dicotyledonous plants Amaranthaceae, which includes more than 60 species, most of which are weeds. They can grow in width and in height, and there are both low and varieties that grow up to 4 meters high.1,2 Three varieties of amaranth are the most important: A. hypochondriacus (Mexico), A. cruentus (Guatemala) and A. caudatus (Peru and other countries in the Andes). The variety A.hypochondriacus is examined the most widely and thoroughly.3,4 Due to favorable agricultural, nutritional and functional characteristics, there is an increasing interest in the use of amaranth in nutrition in the last few decades. Amaranth is richer in proteins and lipids, but contains less starch, compared to common cereals. Amaranth grain is rich in phytochemicals (secondary metabolites), such as routine, nictoflorin and isoquercetin, which have a positive effect on human health. It does not contain gluten, so it can be used in the diet of celiacs. Also, the plant is resistant, adaptable and easy for breeding and growing.2","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115674735","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 World Health Organization projects that by 2025, about 2.3billion adults are overweight and more than 700million are obese. Between 2000 and 2013, the overall prevalence of overweight and obesity increased 25% among adults and 50% among children. By 2013, more than 2billion people were overweight, and of these, over 674million were obese.3 In 2010, it was estimated that overweight and obesity were responsible for causing 3.4million deaths worldwide.4 Among the various factors associated with overweight and obesity, the consumption of sugarsweetened beverage deserves attention, because in the recent years, this consumption has increased in both high-income and lowand middle-income countries.5–7 This increase is worrisome because besides the association with overweight, the consumption of sugarsweetened beverage is associated with cardiovascular diseases, some types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, quality and duration of sleep, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.8–16 In Brazil, the National Food Survey observed that, in adults, the increase in the size of the portion of soft drinks was associated with overweight (PR = 1.19, 95% CI, 1.101.27) regardless of age, sex, income and total energy ingestion.17 Data from the Surveillance System for Risk Factors and Protection for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Inquiry (Vigitel) of 2016, point out the city of Rio Branco as the Brazilian capital with higher prevalences of overweight and obesity in adults.
