background: diabetes is a major risk factor of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease with high mortality. prevalence of diabetes type 2 is increasing in middle eastand iran. in the current study, relationship between major food patterns and diabetes type 2 were assessed. methods: in this case control study, 332 subjects (110 newly diagnosed cases and 222 controls); 43-77 years of age ...

There has been a growing interest in meat analog, microstructure characteristics, and anti-nutritional content obtained from soybean. High-moisture extrusion parameters are the input extruder of moisture (>40%) that get advantages lower energy input. Thermo-mechanical treatment considerable influence on structural properties soy-based analog. Texturized soy proteins can substitute products w...

The aim of this study was to determine physicochemical, microbial properties and antioxidant activity of fermented camel milk (Chal) and introduce it as a functional food. The protein content of the samples was determined using Kjeldahl method and total dry matter using oven drying method. The amount of fat content with Gerber method and pH was measured using a pH meter. Antioxidant activity wa...

The article presents a synthetic analysis of the most pressing challenges associated with food security in context changes induced by global development and generated problems. study demonstrated that more effective model production management is needed to counteract anthropogenic pressure on natural environment excessive exploitation limited resources caused rapid population growth. Policies a...

Legumes and pulses have high nutritive values and functional properties that exert positive effects on health and nutrition. This study developed a novel complementary baby food using germinated mung bean and cowpea as sources of extra nutrients supplemented to the infants (aging 6-12 months). The carbohydrate contents of mung bean and cowpea showed 64.3 and 64.0% reduction, respectively, durin...

conclusions despite the relatively high level of knowledge in the context of the general principles of a diet to prevent ramadan-related complications, practical training in regard to the amounts of nutrients associated with ramadan-related complications is both necessary and recommended. background ramadan fasting is associated with some lifestyle changes. a lack of nutritional needs knowledge...

Estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. Today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. A...

Caloric restriction (CR) can trigger gorging behavior. We examined macronutrient choice and behavior in mice that gorged during restriction compared to restricted non-gorgers and controls. Fifty MF1 male mice were restricted to 75% of ad-libitum food intake (FI), while ten controls were fed ad-lib. Body mass (BM) and FI were measured two and 24-h after food inclusion over 14-days. 'Gorging' mic...

Deep-fat frying is widely used in food industries because of its low cost and high demand, since it produces convenient food of high acceptability. The process is based on the oil-food interaction at high temperatures, which cooks and dehydrates the food, leading to physical and chemical changes, such as starch gelatinization, protein denaturation, flavoring and color production via Maillard re...
