The present study examined the effects of multimedia instructional material on students’ learning and their perceptions of the instruction. A between-group quasiexperimental study design was used for the purpose of this study. One hundred eleven students enrolled in a Quantity Food Production laboratory class in two different semesters were designated to either the control or experimental group...

Adipose tissue is a primary site of meta-inflammation. Diet composition influences adipose tissue metabolism and a single meal can drive an inflammatory response in postprandial period. This study aimed to examine the effect lipid and carbohydrate ingestion compared with a non-caloric placebo on adipose tissue response. Thirty-three healthy adults (age 24.5 ± 3.3 year (mean ± standard deviation...

Date juice was treated by cross- flow ultra-filtration with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 5 kDa. Optimized levels of feed brix, TMP and operation time were determined as 47.13, 82.11 psi and 30 min, respectively. Under such conditions, 80.94% decolourisation and 97.78 % turbidity reduction were obtained while loss of glucose and fructose were estimated to be only 3.49% and 9.62%, respectiv...

This study developed and validated an analytical methodology for the determination of aflatoxins, enniatins, beauvericin, zearalenone, ochratoxin-A, alternariols, HT-2 T-2 toxin in soy, oat, rice almond beverages, based on solid phase extraction columns (SPE) analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry tandem. C18 SPE was successfully applied, obtaining recoveries that range ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of self-regulation of food marketing to children by comparing, during children's preferred viewing on television, the differences in food/beverage marketing between two groups of corporations: 17 corporations participating in the Canadian Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative (CAI) and 35 corporations not participating (non-CAI) in this initiative...

Fortifying commonly consumed foods and beverages offers a great opportunity of filling the nutrient gap between actual and the needed nutrient intakes of young children. Ready-to-drink beverage as a vehicle for fortification is easy to administer, more consistent and least obstructive, because it can be consumed without further processing/cooking. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ...

Mathematical models based on chemometric analyses of the coffee beverage sensory data and NIR spectra of 51 Arabica roasted coffee samples were generated aiming to predict the scores of acidity, bitterness, flavour, cleanliness, body and overall quality of coffee beverage. Partial least squares (PLS) were used to construct the models. The ordered predictor selection (OPS) algorithm was applied ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the beverage intake patterns of Canadian adults and explore characteristics of participants in different beverage clusters. DESIGN Analyses of nationally representative data with cross-sectional complex stratified design. SETTING Canadian Community Health Survey, Cycle 2.2 (2004). SUBJECTS A total of 14 277 participants aged 19-65 years, in whom dietary intake was...

The effectiveness of Snail Shell as adsorbent for the treatment of wastewater from beverage industries, using Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) as activating agent has been investigated. The snail shells were pyrolysed at 500C and partitioned into two parts; one part as sample A and the other further treated with the activating agent as sample B. The samples were characterized for some important properti...

The discovery of bioactive compounds in foods has changed the dietary lifestyle of many people. Cyperus esculentus (tigernut) is highly underutilized in Africa, yet tigernut extract is highly profitable in Europe. This study aims to add value to tigernut extract by revealing its health benefits and food value. In this study, tigernut tubers were germinated or roasted and the extracts were combi...
