ABSTRACT: Soya burger is one of the meat replacers with low cholesterol content and saturated fats. Regarding the gums application in food systems, the effect of adding xanthan (0,0.4, 0.6%) and caboxymethylcellulose gums (0,0.4,0.6%) on water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss, shrinkage and sensory evaluation of soya burger have been investigated. It was found that the samples with xanthan ...

The present investigation examined the temporal relationships between changes in coronary artery heart disease (CAHD) mortality rates from whites (1938-1980) and changes in national measures of dietary elements, tobacco consumption, alcohol consumption, and unemployment. The magnitude and latency of the causal relationships were estimated with the use of cross-lagged correlation functions (CCFs...

Abstract There is increasing evidence for a link between nutrition, lifestyle and prostate cancer development. There is also growing interest from patients, with significant numbers of men using complementary and alternative medicines, such as vitamins and types of diet. Obesity and metabolic syndrome are important risk factors for prostate cancer and their management is key. The amount and typ...

The prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD) necessitates vigorous dietary intervention so as to lower the serum cholesterol level by at least 6%. Greater decreases in serum cholesterol can bring about reversal of atherosclerosis. The critical dietary change is the reduction in intake of saturated fat and cholesterol. Some of this fat may be replaced by unsaturated fats, especia...

In this era of information technology and strategic advances in molecular based sciences, one would have expected the knowledge of fats, fatty acids and their association with diseases to have been wrapped up in a package, neat and simple enough to win the confidence of consumers. Yet, fats the much-touted macronutrient, continues to taunt humans, demonstrating various physiological effects tha...

Solid fats provide desirable functionality, texture, and palatability to foods; however, they are related adverse chronic health effects. Consumers regulatory authorities demanding more natural healthy ingredients. Thus, in context of the high demand for foods transition sustainable ingredients, oil structuring emerges as an outstanding strategy substitute saturated trans fats. Researchers have...

In order to determine: (1) whether there is a growth-regulating interaction between the mammary fat pad and mammary epithelium; (2) whether this interaction could be modified by dietary fats; and (3) whether these effects could be demonstrated in vitro, the following experiments were performed. Virgin Balb/c mice had the left inguinal mammary fat pad cleared of epithelium and were then maintain...

In recent decades, the oil industry has changed its direction toward vegetable oil use instead of animal fats due to various reasons such as a small numbers of animal fat resources and high saturated fatty acids content in animal fats. Therefore, different modification processes have been used to alter the physicochemical properties of vegetable oils, which lack functionality and oxidative stab...
