Reduction of fat in meat products leads to firmer, more rubbery, less juicy, darker in colour, more costly and less acceptable in terms of skin formation, mouth feel, and processing yield. Manufacturers have introduced several modifications in an attempt to offset the detrimental effects of reducing the fat level. These modifications include the use of fat replacers that could help to improve the quality of reduced fat meat products. Fat is replaced in meat product by reformulating the meat product with lipid, protein-or carbohydrate-based ingredients. The direct replacement of fat with non-meat ingredients is an attractive alternative approach to fat reduction due to the excellent functional and nutritional properties that non-meat ingredients impart.","PeriodicalId":475520,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nutrition (Print)","volume":"23 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135727580","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}

To assess food and beverage consumption among adolescents in Alimosho Local Government, Lagos State. A cross-sectional descriptive study was used. Data was collected in five randomly selected secondary schools in Alimosho Local Government, Lagos State. 220 adolescents (11-19) were randomly selected. Data were obtained on sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics, nutrient intake, and beverage intake using pre-tested self-administered questionnaires, and 24-hour dietary recall. The data were analyzed and presented using descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical significance was established at P = .05. The highest age range of participants was between ages 15 to 18 years (56.8%), and most respondents were female. Carbohydrate intake was excessive among the male (100%) and female (96.5%) respondents. There is inadequate intake of protein (45.5%) and fat (31.2%) among the male respondents compared to female respondents with protein (4.2%) and fat (7.0%). Most of the respondents (44.5%} consume hot beverages e.g., tea, coffee, etc. 1-5 times a week. More than half (61.8%) of the respondents do not consume alcohol at all. There was a significant relationship between gender and protein intake (P = 0.002), and gender and fat intake (P = 0.001) respectively. There was high consumption of beverages such as energy drinks, sodas, alcohol, and herbal drinks among the respondents, revealing unhealthy dietary habits. This study also reveals that most of the respondents had excess energy.","PeriodicalId":475520,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nutrition (Print)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134948413","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}

Thirty six male albino rats weighing 200±20 g were used in this study and divided into six groups (6 rats in each group). First group fed on basal diet and used as a (negative control group). The second group fed on hypercholesterolemic diet (HCD) (diet containing 1% cholesterol,16% saturated fat and 0.25% colic acid) and used as a positive control group. Groups (3 and 4) rats fed on HCD containing 15 and 30% whole dry oat. Groups (5 and 6) rats fed on HCD containing 15% and 30% germinated oat. At the end of the experimental period body weight gain and organs weight was estimated. On the other hand lipid fractions, liver enzymes including aspartate aminotransferees (AST), alanine aminotransaminase (ALT), kidney function including creatinine, uric acid, urea and antioxidant enzymes including glutathione reduced (GSH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxides (GPx) were determined in the serum The results demonstrated that germinated oat contained highest fiber while, dry oat contained lowest levels of fiber. HCD caused a significantly increase in TC, TG, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), Atherogenic index (AI), LDL/HDL ratio, AST, ALT and kidney function, Furthermore, it caused a significantly decrease in HDL, HTR, GSH, CAT, SOD and GPx .The rats received dry oat with high concentration (30%) was the most effective to reduction of TC, TG, LDL-C and VLDL-C than dry 15% and germinated 15%. While, germinated oat 30% revealed non-significant effect on TC and LDL-C levels, although it has more effective to raise antioxidant enzymes a activity. All treatments revealed a significantly decrement of AI, AST, creatinine, uric acid and urea. Conclusion : addition of whole dry and germinated oat to HCD for 6 weeks has potential effects to reduced serum cholesterol levels, LDL-C and VLDL-C. The high concentration of dry oat and low concentration of germinated oat had more effective to reduced lipid profile.","PeriodicalId":475520,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nutrition (Print)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135248191","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}

This study is a community-based cross sectional and descriptive design. The sample size and study population comprised of 170 respondents selected using a multistage sampling technique in Odeda Local Government Area of Abeokuta, Ogun State in Nigeria. Data on the socio-economic, sociodemographic, food and nutrient intake and minimum dietary diversity for women were gathered using a well-structured questionnaire that was administered by an interviewer. Utilizing Nutri-Survey, micronutrient intakes were calculated based on 24-hour dietary intake recall. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 20.0 was used to analyze the data. The findings were displayed as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The respondents' sociodemographic and socioeconomic data revealed a mean age of 33.5 years. The average Dietary Diversity Score was 3.92, and the majority (71.8%) of the respondents had poor scores for dietary diversity while 28.2% had low scores. While the respondents' intake of some micronutrients, such as zinc and phosphorus, was adequate, it was below the recommended dietary intake for others, including vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, total folic acid, vitamin C, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron. The study indicates that the women residing in this community consume a diet that has a low diversity, consistent with a diet low in micronutrients, however, the phosphorous and zinc status were adequate.","PeriodicalId":475520,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nutrition (Print)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135249471","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}

Due to conflicting studies, the carbohydrate restriction needed to induce ketosis is unknown. Ketogenic low-carbohydrate diets reduce weight and improve triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein levels better than low-fat diets. Study Design: This study separated animals into four groups. The control group ate a usual diet of 24% protein, 58% carbs, and 18% fat for 10 weeks. The second group had a four-week high-fat diet (HFD. The third and fourth groups followed the ketogenic diet for four and six weeks, respectively. After dissection, liver weights were assessed, homogenates were produced, and oxidative stress biomarkers, liver function tests, and pro-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Result: There was a reduction in liver weight observed in the animals following the administration of KD. Additionally, a decrease in liver enzyme levels was observed in both Groups GIII and GIV. Moreover, there is a significant disparity in oxidative stress between the corresponding group and the GI and GII groups. Furthermore, the levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) exhibited a decrease. It has been scientifically proven that the ketogenic diet possesses anti-inflammatory advantages.
