BACKGROUND Krachtvoer is a Dutch healthy diet programme for prevocational schools, developed in 2001 and revised for a broader target group in 2007, based on the findings of an evaluation of the first version. The goal of this study was to report on the short- and longer-term total and subgroup effects of the revised programme on students' fruit, fruit juice, breakfast, and snack consumption. ...

electrical properties of fruits are accepted indicators for detecting fruit quality. electrical resistanceone reluctance can detect quality factors and are sensitive to variations in the concentration and stateof water. therefore, these properties can be associated with maturity, damage, overripe condition,decay or other quality factors. in most of previous research on electrical resistance and...

currently cancer is considered as one of the main factors of mortality globally. many chemicals in our environment can cause genetic mutations and are potentially responsible for millions of cancer-related deaths. nowadays the scientists are looking for food materials which can potenthially prevent the cancer occurrence. the purpose of this research is to examine antimutagenicity and anticancer...

Mass loss from fresh produce is linked to a reduction of its aesthetic value. However, relationship between mass and biochemical quality parameters at different storage conditions has not been widely explored. Therefore, the current study designed with objectives determine behavior fruit two conditions. Sweet orange stored in zero energy cool chamber (ZECC) had greater shelf-life more than 15 d...

The effects of increasing the salt concentration of a basic nutrient solution from 2.1 up to 4.7 dS mÿ1 by providing either additional amounts of nutrients or 25 mmol lÿ1 NaCl on growth, yield, fruit quality and mineral composition of eggplants were investigated. The extra nutrients used to raise the electrical conductivity were added either at the same ionic concentration ratio as in the basic...

This study was designed to experimentally measure the thermal and electrical conductivities of Aluminium Nitride/Ethylene Glycol (AlN/EG) nanofluids. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to characterize the shape of AlN nanoparticles. Nanofluids with different particle volume concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% were utilized. The thermal and electrical conductivities of the...

The evidence for a role of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in the development of obesity and associated comorbid ities, although not fully resolved, is becoming increasingly convincing, with supporting data from both prospective cohort studies and randomised trials. The obesogenic eff ect of SSBs seems to be simply a consequence of the excess calories provided by their consumption, rather than...
