In the U.S. market place, there are many examples of precooked poultry products designed to be reheated in a microwave oven and, to a lesser extent, fish products such as tilapia. However, few U.S. catfish products are designed to be microwave cooked or reheated. The first objective of this study was to examine the properties of microwave cooked raw frozen catfish fillets and oven precooked (to...

The present study was undertaken to study the Peak Expiratory Flow Rate of healthy non-smoking women of Punjab using biomass fuels for cooking. The values of PEFR of these women were also compared with that of healthy non-smoking women using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for cooking. The influence of age, height and weight on their PEFR values was also studied. One hundred and fifty healthy non...

Arsenic contamination of rice by irrigation with contaminated groundwater and secondarily increased soil arsenic compounds the arsenic burden of populations dependent on subsistence rice-diets. The arsenic concentration of cooked rice is known to increase with the arsenic concentration of the cooking water but the effects of cooking methods have not been defined. We tested the three major rice ...

S OF PAPERS 199 shallow Al pan using a standard oven (163C) to an 85C internal breast. Prior to freezing, all crop and body cavities had been filled with bread cubes having 50% added water by weight to increase RTW by 20%. Each of 4 treatments involved 7 RTC carcasses: 7 thawed to +5C when cooking was initiated with frozen repetitions at -5, -15 and -25 to enable regression analysis. Time to at...

OBJECTIVES Respiratory tract infections (RTI) are one of the leading causes of under-five mortality in Bangladesh. Solid biomass fuels are the main source of domestic fuel used for cooking across Bangladesh, leading to smoke and pollution exposure in the home. This article aims to identify risk factors for RTI among children aged under five years in Bangladesh with a particular focus on the hou...

The speed of protein digestion impacts on postprandial protein anabolism. After exercise or in the elderly, fast proteins stimulate protein synthesis more efficiently than slow proteins. It has been shown that meat might be a source of fast proteins. However, cooking temperature, acting on the macrostructure and microstructure of the meat could affect both the speed, and efficiency, of protein ...

A study was undertaken to determine effect of nutritional value of Melon husk (MH) and Palm oil slurry (POS) on quality of chevon obtained from West African Dwarf (WAD) goats fed finishing diets as follows: diet 1(0% MH, 0% POS); diet 2 (50% MH, 0% POS); diet 3 (0% MH, 50% POS) and diet 4 (50% MH, 50% POS), along with Panicum maximum as basal diet for all dietary treatment groups. After 60 days...

In order to investigate the determinants of childhood overweight and obesity in China, the prevalence of overweight (including obesity) was compared according to different dietary and physical activity patterns and parental body weight status. A total of 6826 children aged 7-17 years from the 2002 China National Nutrition and Health Survey were included in the study. Information for dietary int...
