The objective of this study was to use DRIFT spectroscopy with uni- and multivariate molecular spectral analyses as a novel approach to detect molecular features of spectra mainly associated with carbohydrate in the co-products (wheat DDGS, corn DDGS, blend DDGS) from bioethanol processing in comparison with original feedstock (wheat (Triticum), corn (Zea mays)). The carbohydrates related molec...

Dietary fiber has been defined as the part of material in foods impervious to the degradative enzymes of the human digestive tract. The dietary fiber of plants is comprised of carbohydrate cornpounds including cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, gums, rnucilages, and a noncarbohydrate substance, lignin. These substances, which form the structure of plants, are present in the cell walls of all par...

(1) Background: Arthrospira (commonly known as Spirulina) is an edible cyanobacterium that produced worldwide a food supplement owing to its high nutritional value. displays strong potential important ingredient in the development of novel functional foods. Polysaccharides from are biologically active compounds and hence there interest producing biomass rich carbohydrates. (2) Methods: A. plate...

objective: reinforcement with fiber is an effective method for considerable improvement in flexural properties of indirect composite resin restorations. the aim of this in-vitro study was to compare the transverse strength of composite resin bars reinforced with preimpregnated and non-impregnated fibers. materials and methods: thirty six bar type composite resin specimens (3×2×25 mm) were const...

Cereal foods are an important source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber in our diet. Epidemiological evidence increasingly demonstrates that a diet rich in whole grain is protective against development of diet-related disorders such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The majority of cereal foods today, however, are made from refined wheat flour. The grain processing industry therefo...

Insulin resistance is a metabolic disorder that is increasing worldwide and is associated with some of the most common diseases affecting modern societies including diabetes, hypertension, obesity and coronary heart disease. Although pharmacologic approaches to managing insulin resistance are being advocated by some, public health approaches involving changes in diet and physical activity are a...

BACKGROUND Nutritional and food intake assessments before and after bariatric surgery may be important to correct eating habits and nutritional deficiencies. AIM To assess the efficiency of the 24-hour food recall (24hR) form as a fast method for assessing nutrient intake before and after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS This study analyzed data from 10 obese patients with type 2 ...
