background and objectives evaluation of protein quality in food is of great importance due to the biological and economical impacts of food proteins. this study has been conducted with the aim of comparing the protein quality of homemade food (mixture of macaroni and soy bean) with commercial baby food (cerelac wheat) using casein as the refference point.   methods this study was conducted on 6...

background and objective: obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. the abnormalities involved may be mediated by increased secretions of inflammatory proteins called adipocytokines by the adipose tissue. thus, monitoring adipocytokines during weight loss could be helpful in progress evaluation of weight reduction programs. since high-protein diets are cons...

background and objectives: preterm labor is a serious problem in obstetrics, accounting for 70% of perinatal mortality. high sensitive c - reactive protein (hs-crp) is a sensitive marker of inflammation. our aim in this study was to determine amniotic fluid hs-crp concentration and its correlation with pre-term delivery.   materials and methods: this prospective study was conducted on 90 pregna...

background: this study investigated blackberry (persian mulberry) effects on apo a-i, apo b, high-sensitivity-c-reactive protein (hs-crp), and systolic blood pressure (sbp) and diastolic blood pressure (dbp) in dyslipidemic patients. materials and methods: in this 8-week randomized clinical trial, 72 dyslipidemic patients were randomly divided into two groups: intervention (300 ml/day blackberr...

Protein isolate is used in the food industry in order to process and stabilise food foams. Thereforethere has been a great deal of interest and research in order to understand the effect of processingparameters on the functional properties of the isolate. The major purpose of this research is to studythe foamability of the different proteins - starch nano-particle system. The results from exper...

Little is known about the relative effectiveness of different weight loss foods for pet dogs in the home setting. Here, we performed a randomized, blinded, 24-week prospective study in 73 client-owned adult dogs to compare weight loss in the home setting using an energy-dense high-protein/ high-fat food (HP/HF) or a lower density high-fiber food (HFIB). Investigators recommended amounts of food...

food industries as one of the most important industries in the country are an urgent need to supply raw materials at the macro and micro levels. so one of the main sections requiring serious study is supply chain management and suppliers issues in food industries. the purpose of this study is to identify the criteria to evaluate and rank the suppliers by using fuzzy topsis technique in pabas pr...
