It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that consumers can safely enjoy a range of nutritive sweeteners and nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS) when consumed within an eating plan that is guided by current federal nutrition recommendations, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes, as well as individual health goals and personal preference. A...

Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis are among most favorite mushrooms of the world. Mineral contents, proximate composition and fatty acid profile of these mushrooms were determined for evaluation of their dietary value. Na, K and Li contents were high, while Cr, Cu, Pb, Co, Zn, Mn and Ni concentrations were low in both Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. Proximate analysis showe...

In the commercial dehydration of raw Kquid skim milk the immediate practical objective is the production of a dry powder that may be conveniently stored and readily transported. The agency of dehydration is heat. In the merchandising of these powders emphasis is placed upon their high nutritive value, particularly as sources of protein, of calcium, and of vitamin G. It is commonly, if tacitly, ...

The nutritive value of isonitrogenous and isoenergetic levels of these processed beans, raw NB-SOY and NB-SOY extruded at 121, 135 or 157OC was assessed by pig growth assay. The raw NB-SOY diet caused severe scouring and was fed only for two weeks. Growth rate and feed conversion of pigs fed extruded NB-SOY improved as the extrusion temperature increased to 135OC but declined with higher temper...

Trace elements are a major area of nutritional status which influence brain functioning and behavior. Recent studies have found significantly abnormal levels of trace nutritive minerals and trace toxic metals in the head hair of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Utilizing hair element analysis, this study examined 26 trace elements in two groups of young Appalachian children: an economic...

To begin with, the importance of the prediction of the nutritive value and intake of feeds for the ruminant animals is stressed. The prediction is mainly correlated to digestibility, NDF content and lignin content. Then the most important chemical methods, enzymatic methods and biological methods (in vitro, in vivo, in sacco) which can be used as predictors, are reviewed and commented. It is co...
