Nutrient standards such as the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) may be used to assess diets of both individuals and of population groups. The goal is to estimate the probability of dietary adequacy (or inadequacy) for an individual and the prevalence of dietary adequacy for a group. The DRI that is needed to estimate the probability of dietary adequacy is the estimated average requirement for a...

ABSTRACT The São Francisco Valley region of Brazil is a leading exporter mango fruits. Previous nutritional diagnosis can identify stresses, provide adjustments for limitations, and promote more efficient fertilization nutrient management. This study aimed to compare the trees in post-harvest pre-flowering phases correlate them with productivity. Norms indices Integrated System Diagnosis Recomm...

Soybean bran (SB) partially replaced fat (30%?50%) in a gluten-free cookie formulation. Dough properties, physical (cookie dimension and weight loss), textural (hardness fracturability), colour sensory parameters, as well nutritional profiles were evaluated to characterize full-fat (FFC) fat-reduced cookies (FRC). Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that reduction formulation at 30%...

Beaufils' experimental approach and calibration technique with a formula (DRIS for Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System) is applied to sugarcane cultivation. Provisional norms for soil pH, P, K, Ca, Mg and plant N, P, K, Ca and Mg are presented in the form of indices. They all are derived from a single general formula. The steps followed for establishing these norms, by interpreting d...

A wide range of minerals is essential for human health. The recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) serve as guidelines for daily intakes of nutrients that population groups in the United States should have in their diets. Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) have been established for the following essential minerals: calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. In addition, DRIs have been set for other trace...

The food industry appreciates the complexity of applying the new Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) in labeling. The industry is prepared to update food labels to reflect new nutrient recommendations and views upcoming changes as an opportunity to harmonize nutrition information across the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005, MyPyramid.gov, and the food label. Members of the Grocery Manufacture...

Abstract Improper nutrient management reduces the yield and affects status of crops. This study aimed to diagnose nutrients limitation in maize. A three-year multi-location (348 sites) experiments were conducted randomized block design analyse for maize production under conventional fertilizer recommendation system Nigeria using DRIS, identify soil factors that influence DRIS indices random for...

This study evaluates total water intake (TWI) from plain water, beverages and foods among Lebanese children and compares TWI to dietary reference intakes (DRIs). In a national cross-sectional survey, data on demographic, socioeconomic, anthropometric, and physical activity characteristics were obtained from 4 to 13-year-old children (n = 752). Food and beverage consumption patterns were assesse...

This study aimed to evaluate dietary nutrient intake among Chinese pregnant women by comparison with Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) and to explore the association between dietary nutrients and preterm birth. A case-control design was conducted in Beijing with 130 preterm delivery mothers in case group and 381 term delivery mothers in control group. Information on mothers' diet was col...

El equilibrio de nutrientes determina el rendimiento y calidad los cultivos. Sistema Integrado Diagnóstico Recomendación-DRIS propone un análisis holístico sobre la base interrelación entre nutrientes, compara las proporciones elementos minerales cultivos con valores óptimos conocidos como normas DRIS e identifica desequilibrios, deficiencias y/o excesos en planta para clasificarlos por orden i...
