The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of geographic tongue and its associations with food allergy and familial history in the patients referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine of Dental School, Iran. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 936 patients were selected from those with various etiologies, who were referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine Department of Semnan Dental School, Semnan, Iran, 2018– 2019. Information was entered into checklists through existing records, visual examinations and patient inquiries. Inclusion criteria were the absence of psoriasis and absence of other mucosal diseases and exclusion criteria were patients with incomplete records, patients with no records and presence of psoriasis and other mucosal diseases. Results: In general, 936 patients referred to Semnan Dental Clinic were enrolled in this study; of whom, 8.8% (82 people) were diagnosed with geographic tongue. Risk of geographic tongue in allergic patients was 2.54 times higher than in non-allergic. Women were 2.5 times more affected than men. Age was inversely associated; hence, risk was higher at the early age. Conclusion: Based on the present study, younger women with food allergies are more likely to have geographic tongue lesions. Therefore, it is recommended to use appropriate non-allergenic diets as well as sensitivity testing to find allergens.","PeriodicalId":378980,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Nutrition Sciences & Food Technology","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125686982","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 present study, effects of whole oleaster fruit powder (WOP) on GI, glycemic load (GL) and satiety index of plain biscuits prepared from white wheat flour were investigated. Materials & Methods: In this randomized crossover study for assessing GI and GL, ten healthy individuals consumed one of three types of biscuits (plain, with 25% WOP and 50% WOP) or glucose solution on four various days at one-week intervals. Blood sugar was assessed at fasting and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min after eating the biscuits and then GI and GL were calculated. To assess SI, 20 healthy individuals consumed either white bread (reference food) or one of the three biscuits on four various days at one-week intervals. Satiety was assessed in the fasting state and every 15 min to 2 h after eating. Then, SI was calculated. Results: The GI of plain biscuits was in the upper range (71.7) which decreased to the lower range (50 and 42.9, respectively) by substitution of 25 and 50% WOP ( p < 0.001).

Materials & Methods: After culturing and several passages, C2C12 muscle cells were differentiated into myotube cells and treated with various concentrations of crocin (10, 25, 50 and 100 μM) for 24 h. Gene expression of antioxidant enzymes (SOD1, SOD2, Gpx1 and catalase) was assessed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Crocin significantly decreased expression of SOD2, Gpx1 and catalase genes ( p <0.05) with no effects on expression of SOD1 gene. Conclusion: Findings of this study showed that receiving exogenous antioxidants such as crocin could possibly decrease needs of expression of enzymatic antioxidant genes through strengthening non-enzymatic antioxidant defense systems.

In this study, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was used to increase strength of monoacylglycerol (MAGs) gels. In the present study, simultaneous effects of MAG and CMC on the production of hybrid oleogels were investigated. Materials & Methods: Using emulsion-encapsulation method, CMC as a hydrophilic oleogelator was coated on the surface of monoacylglycerols as a lipophilic oleogelator. Relevant oleogels were prepared using 10% concentration of each of the oleogels (CMC90, CMC80 and CMC70) and their physicochemical characteristics [induction period of oxidation, SFC (%), crystallization kinetics] and rheological characteristics [sweep temperature test, sweep frequency test and three interval thixotropy test (3ITT)] were investigated. Results: Regarding oxidative stability, simultaneous use of MAG and CMC did not significantly increase oxidation of the samples. Nso significant differences were seen between the induction period of crystallization and crystallization rate of the hybrid oleogels. Microstructure images of the samples showed that the hybrid oleogels made with a 30:70 ratio of MAG and CMC included stronger structures, compared to other samples. Rheological assessment showed that the hybrid oleogel included solid-like behaviors based on the frequency and temperature sweep tests. Accordingly, hybrid oleogels demonstrated greater structural recoveries (greater than 70%), compared to the control sample. Conclusion: In conclusion, CMC is able to strengthen structuring effects of MAG to produce high-strength hybrid oleogels. Therefore, hybrid oleogels can be used as base stocks in production of a variety of margarine and shortening.","PeriodicalId":378980,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Nutrition Sciences & Food Technology","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114786901","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}

Bioactive compounds such as antioxidants, vitamins, probiotics and prebiotics are designed to be included in coatings or coating materials that directly affect health of consumers. The aim of this study was to assess feasibility of producing prebiotic edible films by adding inulin to the film based on carboxymethyl cellulose and beta-glucan and to investigate film mechanical, barrier and structural characteristics. Materials & Methods: In this study, various concentrations of inulin (0, 2 and 4% w/v) were added to carboxymethylcellulose/beta-glucan solutions. Then, mechanical (tensile strength and elongation at break), barrier (oxygen and water permeability), optical (opacity, a, b and L) and structural characteristics of the films were compared with each other. Results: Inulin included plasticizing effects in all treatments. Thus, tensile strength decreased and hydrophilicity, oxygen permeability and elongation at break increased significantly ( p < 0.05). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that hydrogen bonds were the major force between carboxymethylcellulose, beta-glucan and inulin, which increased flexibility and water affinity of the films. Conclusion: Although addition of inulin improved composite films via increases in elongation at break and decreases in oxygen permeability of the composite films, their hydrophilicities increased as well. Therefore, these films include the potentials in cases, where packaging hydrophilicity is an advantage such as edible coating used in food products.
