This research of ours is based on viral hepatitis diagnosis (HBV, HCV, HDV. HAV. HEV) and prevalence in the eight north eastern states of India (namely Assam, Arunachal, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Meghalaya, Manipur, and Mizoram) that are in locations bordering other countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal. The article intercompares the viral hepatitis prevalence pattern in tribal and non-tribal patients in the north eastern states of India as well as the overall prevalence pre-COVID-19 and during the COVID-19. \u0000Methodology: This cross-sectional study data on prevalence of viral hepatitis conducted in the 8 north eastern states of India between 2018-2022 has data. two years before the onset of COVID-19 (2018-2019) and 2 years during the COVID-19 (2020-2022). This manuscript presents retrospective comparison on viral hepatitis prevalence between the recruited viral hepatitis patients of tribal and non-tribal origin. This work also compares viral hepatitis prevalence pre-COVID19 and during COVID-19 with no planned work done on COVID-19 diagnostics.   \u0000Results: In this study it was observed that the tribal population in northeast India had higher prevalence of viral hepatitis than non-tribals in young adults whereas non-tribal had higher prevalence of viral hepatitis than tribals in older population. Certain tribes like Lushai of Mizoram had higher prevalence of HDV, HCV, HEV. Hepatitis B vaccination status was better in non-tribals than tribals in the recruited patients. Further in certain states like Manipur and Tripura exhibited significant difference in the diagnostic marker prevalence in hepatocellular carcinoma patients and liver cirrhosis patients before COVID and during COVID. \u0000Conclusion: There were differences in the prevalence and risk factors of viral hepatitis between tribal and non-tribal patients of viral hepatitis in northeast India. Further COVID-19 did have influence on the viral hepatitis prevalence in northeast India.","PeriodicalId":508884,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety","volume":" 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141677665","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}

Shrimp waste such as heads, tails and carapace, if processed properly, can become a fishery diversification product that is able to provide added value to the community. The high protein content can be a consideration in processing shrimp waste into by-products as a substitute for food products. This study aims to analyze the effect of the addition of kluwak fruit on water content, protein content and hedonic value of white leg shrimp waste petis. The research method used was an experimental method with petis treatment added by kluwak with 4 different concentrations, namely (A) 0 g concentration (control), (B) 10 g concentration, (C) 20 g concentration, and (D) 30 g concentration. The results showed that the addition of kluwak fruit provided a real difference in the value of water content and protein content in white leg shrimp waste petis.

Boneless chicken breast was procured from a reputable source and cut into sizeable weight of 50g each to produce the chicken nuggets used for the studies. The experimental setup for sorption isotherm analysis in this study involved using a gravimetric method to equilibrate the product at various relative humidity levels. Five (5g) grams of oven-dried chicken nugget samples of known moisture content were placed in a controlled humidity chamber, and the weight changes of the samples were monitored until equilibrium was reached. GAB equation was used to evaluate the product ware activity and monolayer moisture. Sensory assessment was evaluated using a 9- point hedonic scale while proximate composition of the chicken nuggets samples was determined according to the methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay was used to measure malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as a marker of lipid oxidation. The investigation showed that sensory qualities, proximate composition and lipid oxidation of chicken nuggets were markedly affected by the variance in temperature settings, with distinct disparities seen among different materials for packaging. Chicken nuggets stored at 25 0C caused a significant loss in organoleptic properties and some nutritional composition such as protein and fat. Storage of chicken nugget at 25 0C and 40 C showed a varied values in malondialdehyde as content ranged from 0.52 to 0.81 for chicken nugget stored at 250 C and 0.17 to 0.43 for the product stored at 40 C across the packaging materials investigated. The water activity and monolayer moisture results of sorption analysis revealed that good packaging materials of very low water vapour transmission rate should be used for storage of chicken nuggets as high-density polyethylene offered a promising alternative than low density polyethylene.","PeriodicalId":508884,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety","volume":"58 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140965212","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}

Multistage purposive random sampling was used for the selection of three districts, six mandals and 12 each village and urban areas for conducting the study with a total sample of 480 households. The primary data collected through pre-tested interview schedules were analysed using Simpson Index Dietary Diversity (SIDD) score and later multiple linear regression was used to regress socio-economic and demographic variables to assess the influence of these variables on SIDD score. The results revealed that the overall dietary diversity score for rural and urban PDS beneficiaries was 0.86 whereas for rural and urban PDS non-beneficiary households’ SIDD score was 0.82 and 0.83 respectively. The results clearly showed that PDS beneficiary households had higher dietary diversity than non-beneficiaries’ households. Age, household size, education, farmland and livestock possession enhanced dietary diversity, thereby improving the nutritional status of households. Thus, the PDS can play a crucial role in guaranteeing food security. Furthermore, its effectiveness depends on including a variety of food items for distribution, and recommended promoting nutritional education, encouraging the consumption of locally sourced foods through health and nutrition awareness campaigns. In addition, implementing mechanisms for assessment, minimizing leakages and inclusion of eligible households through regular survey can help the vulnerable sections of population to achieve food and nutritional security.","PeriodicalId":508884,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety","volume":"39 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140983807","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}
