The Effect of Complementing Opuntia Cactaceae in Normocaloric Diet in Patients with Dyslipidemia




Abstract
Background/Objectives: Dyslipidemia is a public health problem. The main causes of dyslipidemia are sedentary lifestyle, excessive intake of saturated fats and low intake of dietary fiber. Opuntia Cactaceae contains high levels of fiber, which is known to decrease intestinal absorption of lipids. The objective of this study is to determine the lipid- lowering effect of a normal-calorie diet supplemented with Opuntia Cactaceae in patients with dyslipidemia.

Identification And Dosage of Caffeine by Liquid Chromatography UV-Visible in Energy Drinks Marketed in Benin Republic - Juniper Publishers

Image
  Nutrition and Food Science International Journal Abstract The consumption of energy drinks is experiencing a sharp increase in the world as in Benin with a flourishing market. Many questions remain as to their composition and their potential health effects. Although their composition varies depending on the brand. The substances most encountered in these drinks are caffeine, taurine, group B vitamins, sugars, and derivatives. Several cases of caffeine intoxication have been reported by US poison control centers following the consumption of these energy drinks. These facts, despite their seriousness, however, remain poorly documented. We have undertaken through the present study, the identification, and the assay by liquid chromatography UV-visible of caffeine in 34 samples of energy drinks collected in 15 supermarkets of Cotonou in Benin Republic after some preliminary tests of visual inspection, measurements of the beverage volume and pH. From the physicochemical analysis of the...

Bacteriophages as Preservation Agents to Promote Minimally Processed Food Safety - Juniper Publishers

Image
  Nutrition and Food Science International Journal - Juniper Publishers Abstract Foodborne disease related to ready to eat products contaminated by foodborne pathogens is a global concern due to its impact on human health and economy worldwide. Minimally processed food like ready to eat fruits and vegetables are not subjected to common preservation processes, additionally, the use of antibiotics and chemicals for pathogens eradication may affect consumers health. Baceriophages or viruses that infect bacteria have been suggested as bio-control tools and advantageous bio-preservation agents to promote minimally processed food safety. Recent studies show a reduction of pathogens after application of phages cocktails on fresh produce. Usefulness of broad-host range bacteriophages as bio-preservation agents needs more investigation.

Non-Centrifugal Cane Sugar is a Potential Functional Food? - Juniper Publishers

Image
  Nutrition and Food Science International Journal - Juniper Publishers Abstract Non-centrifugal sugar (NCS) is a traditional sweetener consumed worldwide. Previous investigations have reported that NCS is an important source of nutritional and bioactive compounds. The results show that NCS is of great scientific and nutritional and technological interest due to its potential beneficial effects on health. However, better characterization is required to recognize NCS as a functional food. Keywords: Sugar cane; Antioxidants compounds; Functional food; Amino acids; Complex sugars Introduction Nutraceuticals and functional foods have broad potential for preventing the mechanisms of viral infection and modulating immune responses [1], for this reason, in the last decade this topic has been widely studied. Non-centrifugal sugar (NCS) is a traditional sweetener consumed worldwide Flórez-Martínez et al. [2] that contains abundant amounts of sucrose and potentially relevant components like ...
