BACKGROUND To date, no studies have assessed the longitudinal changes of dietary intake on metabolic risk factors in Latino youth. OBJECTIVE We assessed the relation between changes in dietary intake, specifically sugar and fiber intakes, with changes in adiposity and risk factors for type 2 diabetes in a longitudinal analysis of overweight Latino youth. DESIGN Overweight Latino youth (n = ...

In this work we evaluated the variability in fiber content and physical and chemical parameters of byproducts from orange juice extraction. Five different treatments and two drying methods were evaluated. The results indicate that drying by lyophilization was better than that drying in an oven. The pH ranged from approximately 3.47 to 3.96. The variation in moisture values was 9.22% ± 0.02 to 1...

Textile industry comprises of dry mechanical and wet chemical processing,wet chemical process comprises of bleaches, dyeing , printing, & finishing. Dyeing is art of colouration to textiles.Dye get transferred to textile during dyeing. Dyeing operation is performed by the reaction between fiber and dyes. Some dyes are water soluble and some are water insoluble. Some fiber has affinity to dye; s...

The interaction between angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blockers (ARBs), such as losartan potassium (LO), candesartan (CA), and telmisartan (TE), and dietary fiber was studied as to the level of free ARB in vitro. When ARB was incubated with soluble (sodium alginate, pectin, and glucomannan) or insoluble (cellulose and chitosan) dietary fiber, the levels of free LO, TE, and CA decreased. T...

Boron is required for fiber growth and development in cotton ovules cultured in vitro. Incorporation of [(14)C]glucose by such fiber from supplied UDP-[(14)C]glucose into the hot alkali-insoluble fraction is rapid and linear for about 30 minutes. Incorporation of [(14)C]glucose from such substrate by fibers grown in boron-deficient ovule cultures is much less than in the case with fibers from o...
