BACKGROUND Validation of a quantitative food frequency questionnaire (QFFQ) developed specifically for Inuit is necessary to determine its usefulness in assessing dietary intake and adequacy and in identifying dietary risk factors for chronic disease in this population. METHODS Seventy-five randomly selected Inuit adults in Nunavut, Canada, were recruited. Mean daily intake of nutrients from ...

The article discusses the process of industrial crystallization sucrose, which includes three main stages (thickening syrup, formation centers and their growth). Depending on method crystal used, technologies for obtaining massecuite I were analyzed, improvement is due to conditions centers, growth, thickening masses separation in centrifuges. disadvantage considered methods heterogeneity sugar...

OBJECTIVE We sought to document increases in caloric contributions from sugar-sweetened beverages and 100% fruit juice among US youth during 1988-2004. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed 24-hour dietary recalls from children and adolescents (aged 2-19) in 2 nationally representative population surveys: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (1988-1994, N = 9882) and National Healt...

Efficient enzymatic syntheses of isosteric phosphono analogues of sugar nucleotides have been accomplished using a thymidylyltransferase.

The cyanobacterium Anabaena flos-aquae (strain 1444) grown at different intensities o f white light (900. 3500 and 30000 lux) showed changes in the content and com position o f the pigments. Phycocyanin was more affected by high light conditions during growth than chlorophyll a. In comparison to in low white light grown cyanobacteria number o f phycobilisom es and thylakoids decreased under str...

The combined effects of low-molecular-weight fucoidan (LMF) and fucoxanthin (Fx) in terms of antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and hepatoprotective activities were investigated in a mouse model of type II diabetes. The intake of LMF, Fx, and LMF + Fx lowered the blood sugar and fasting blood sugar levels, and increased serum adiponectin levels. The significant decrease in urinary sugar was...

Some commercial sweet sorghum syrups can be fraudulently or accidently adulterated with inexpensive sugar syrups, particularly high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or corn syrup, and sold at a relatively low market price or even mis-branded. This undermines the economic stability of the current small-scale producers of food-grade sweet sorghum syrup as well as the developing large-scale bioproduct i...
