Vegetable Intake of Children Who Participated in a Quiz & Stamp Rally to Learn about Vegetable Nutrition
With the aim of increasing their vegetable intake at home, we held a quiz & stamp rally for children to learn about vegetable nutrition while enjoying answering quizzes and collecting original vegetable character stamps during a food education event in a community. We also conducted a questionnaire survey, involving parents of 83 children (aged 2-12 years) who participated in the rally, to examine the vegetable intake of these children.
For the question , 50.6% of all parents chose , which was the highest rate. The rate of choosing was 27.2%. For , the majority of the parents chose , at 49.4%, and the rate of choosing was 27.2%, revealing a variation in parental recognition between dietary and vegetable intakes. On comparing answers to between parents of younger children (aged 2-6: younger group) and those of older children (7-12: older group), achieved the highest rate, at 58.9%, in the younger group, while it was 26.9% in the older group, revealing a difference (p=0.007). achieved 7.1 and 26.9% in the younger and older groups, respectively, revealing a difference (p=0.014). On the other hand, the rate of choosing exceeded 25% in both cases; 33.9 and 26.9% in the younger and older groups, respectively. and achieved approximately 20% in both groups. The parents’ impressions of the present food education event and questions about diets for children collected in a free-description style included: and . As a research/education institution, we will collect and provide data that can be utilized for food education, while promoting such education through collaboration with community residents.departmental bulletin pape
Radical Scavenging Ability of Preference beverage
Preference beverages have spread in market widely, to expect the hydration and
supplementation of nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.
In the present study, an author determined 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrady (DPPH) radical scavenging ability of ingredients in tea and coffee beverages, fruit juices, and mixed vegetable/ fruit juice.
Green tea, including relatively high green tea ingredients, and coffee beverages had high antioxidative activities of 800 ~ 1000 μmol Trolox eq. per 100mL. Fruit juices with high vitamin C contents showed a tendency to have high DPPH radical scavenging ability.
High values of nearly 500 ~ 700μmol Trolox eq. per 100g fresh weight of DPPH radical scavenging ability were observed in shungiku( leaf portion of Chrysanthemum coronarium ) and moroheiya (leaf portion of Corchorus olitorius ) with high β-carotene content and in burdock and eggplant rich in chlorogenic acid, respectively among vegetables.
Among fruits, acerolas( Malpighia spp.) rich in vitamin C and banana rich in chlorogenic acid showed high values of DPPH radical scavenging ability of nearly 1400 and ≧ 1000μmol Trolox eq.100g fresh weight, respectively, whereas avocado rich in vitamin E showed a low antioxidant activity of nearly 155μmol Trolox eq. per 100g fresh weight.
It was suggested that a wide range of factors, such as the contents of antioxidant ingredients, interaction with other ingredients, varieties, cultivation method, and freshness, may have individual effects on the antioxidant ability of the vegetables and fruits used as materials in preference beverages.departmental bulletin pape
Nutrition education effect with the dietary habits support tool for pregnant women
In this study, we constructed a nutrition education medium for pregnant women, and verified its effects by confirming the changes in pregnant women’s knowledge and awareness of diet, as well as their dietary behavior, before and after its use. Recently, it has been pointed out that there are many problems in the dietary habits of pregnant women. Thus, a dietary habit support tool that provides information necessary in dietary and nutritional management has been developed, with the aim of improving awareness of diet and actual dietary behavior. In this study, we constructed a tool focusing on the promotion of the intake of calcium, which tends to be lacking in pregnant women. The results statistically confirmed that, even though just a little, the tool contributed to the improvement in pregnant women’s knowledge and awareness of diet, as well as their actual dietary behavior. Thus, it was suggested that, even without direct dietary and nutritional guidance for each individual pregnant woman, improvement in the awareness of dietary habits, as well as behavioral modifications to desirable dietary habits, could be achieved when pregnant women use a medium like the support tool in this study on a daily basis.departmental bulletin pape

保育者養成課程の学生にとって、自分なりの目指すべき保育者像を形成することは重要である。

Structure of reclaiming individuality through the work environment after developing cancer in women with breast cancer or uterine cancer
本研究の目的は、乳がんあるいは子宮がん罹患後の女性が就労環境を通して自分らしさへ向かう構造を明らかにすることである。研究対象は、乳がんあるいは子宮がん罹患後、就労継続または休職中に研究の同意が得られた5名であり、半構造的インタビューを実施し、KJ 法を用いデータを図解化し構造を示した。その結果、女性患者が、がん罹患後の就労環境を通して自分らしさに向かう構造は、【戸惑う職場】【環境による抑圧】【想定外の体調不良】【理解と発信】【成熟した社会を望む】【仕事を辞めない】【生き方を問い直す】の7つの島に集約された。女性がん患者は、罹患後の就労環境を通して、自分自身の理解と発信の重要性に気づき、真の自分に向き合った経過を辿り選択肢のある人生を得ることとなった。女性がん患者に対する多角的な就労支援の可能性が示唆された。departmental bulletin pape
Compositional characteristics of Dewa-no-matatabi fruits.
Compositional characteristics of Dewa-no-matatabi fruits were evaluated in two selections,
‘Oota’ and ‘Tsukita’. The fruits in both selections had higher Brix level than ‘Hayward’ and
‘Ananasnaya’ fruits, the most common commercially available kiwifruit and hardy kiwifruit,
respectively. Fruits of‘ Oota’ and‘ Tsukita’ contained 339 and 191 mg/100g fresh weigh(t F.W.)
ascorbic acid(vitamin C), respectively, indicating that they are an exceptionally excellent
source of ascorbic acids. Moreover, these fruits contained 0.87 ‐ 1.41 mg/100g F.W. lutein and
0.13 ‐ 0.38 mg/100g F.W. β-carotene. Dewa-no-matatabi fruits are considered to be the richest
dietary source of lutein among commercially available fruits. The results in the present study
suggest Dewa-no-matatabi fruits have commercial potential and are important as useful genetic
resources for cultivar development in Actinidia species.departmental bulletin pape
Genotypic differences in total polyphenol contents and radical scavenging activities in the fruits of Actinidia species
Total polyphenol contents and DPPH(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl)radical scavenging
activities in Actinidia fruit were determined in various cultivars/selections, including five A.
deliciosa, seven A. chinensis, two A. rufa, six A. arguta, and two interspecific hybrids. The total
polyphenol content of fruit of A. deliciosa cv. ‘Hayward’, the most common commercially
available cultivar, was 34.3 mg galic acid equivalent/100 g fresh weight (FW). Among A.
chinensis cultivars, ‘Golden king’, ‘Golden yellow’, and ‘Rainbow red’ showed significantly
higher concentrations in total polyphenol than ‘Hayward’. In most cultivars/selections of A.
arguta, the total polyphenol contents in the fruits were significantly higher than that in
‘Hayward’. In A. chinensis and A. arguta, the DPPH radical scavenging activities in the fruit
extracts were much higher than those of A. deliciosa fruits with the exception of ‘Koshin’,
‘Ananasnaya’, and‘ Nagano’.departmental bulletin pape
