Nutritional Values of Artocarpus odoratissimus (Terap) Fruit and its Antioxidant Capacity as Affected by Superheated-steam Treatment
Get PDFThis study was carried out to evaluate the nutrient composition, Total Phenolic Content (TPC), Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) and antioxidant capacity of Artocarpus odoratissimus by using DPPH and FRAP assays. Results showed that nutrient compositions were quite similar to other reported studies. As for the antioxidant potential of the fruit, both the flesh and seed treated with Superheated-Steam (SHS) showed significantly higher TPC, TFC, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) (except the flesh showing no significant difference) values compared to the Freeze-Dried (FD) samples. The SHS-treated seed showed the highest values in all the assays conducted, exhibiting the superior antioxidant potential of the seed over the flesh. The seed also contained a higher composition of fat, protein, ash and carbohydrate than the flesh, while the flesh, on the other hand, showed higher moisture content and crude fibre compared to the seed (p<0.05). This study has demonstrated that SHS has the ability to enhance the polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of terap fruit
The Proximate Analysis and Sensory Hedonic Evaluation of Energy Drink (Agarbomb)
Get PDFThe main purposes of this study are to assess the consumers\u27 acceptance of the sensory attributes of energy powder made from guarana as caffeine and to determine the nutritional values of energy powder made from guarana as a substitute for coffee. The method used to conduct this research is measuring proximate analysis of ash, moisture, protein, fat, and crude fibre to identify energy powder\u27s nutrient content. Besides, it discovers the acceptance of energy drinks towards potential consumers by undergoing a 7-point hedonic sensory evaluation test of 25 semi-panels. The outcomes gained from this research are low protein, low fat, and high minerals due to the high ash content, presenting that it is acceptable for energy drinks since it usually focuses on total energy and sugar for energy boost. The panellist\u27s acceptance is concentrated in viscosity and colour, which might concern Agarbomb’s improvement in aroma, taste, and overall acceptability
Effect of Kappaphycus alvarezii and Overripe Banana Sweetener Addition on the Nutritional Composition and Palatability of Cookies
Get PDFThis study aimed to assess the qualities of butter biscuits made with seaweed flour (Kappaphycus alvarezii, (KA) (0, 4, and 8%) and Overripe Banana Sweetener (ORBS) (0, 50, and 100%) as a partial replacement for wheat flour and table sugar. A.O.A.C. and hedonic methodologies have been used to analyze the nutritional composition, color, and sensory evaluation of butter cookies. The increase in ORBS in cookie formulation resulted in a significant rise in the nutritional qualities of butter cookies, according to the result. Butter cookies with 4% seaweed flour and 100% ORBS had higher total dietary fiber (19.6%) and ash (3.07%) values. Sensory scores for the control (0%) and 4% seaweed flour-incorporated cookies did not differ substantially across all sensory qualities. However, the addition of 4% seaweed flour and 50% ORBS resulted in the highest scores for aroma, flavor, and overall acceptance. In conclusion, substituting 4% seaweed flour for wheat flour and 50% ORBS for table sugar could be an effective combination to make nutritious and tasty butter cookies
Influencing Factors for Malnutrition in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Get PDFThis study reviewed the evidence on influencing factors for malnutrition in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform for English and Chinese language observational studies published from 1966 to 2022 was conducted. RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for statistical analysis. A total of 13 observational studies with 7,790 study participants were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Seven risk factors and two protective factors related to malnutrition were identified. Age (OR=1.29; 95% CI:1.03–1.61), required feeding assistance (OR=3.33: 95% CI:2.55–4.35), living status (with family) (OR=0.49; 95% CI:0.34–0.71), protein intake (OR=0.89; 95% CI:0.85–0.94), comorbidities (OR=1.78; 95% CI:1.03–3.07), long dialysis duration (OR=1.61; 95% CI:1.16–2.24), inadequate dialysis (OR=1.25; 95% CI:1.12–1.40), hemoglobin level (OR=1.84; 95% CI:0.92–3.66), and depression (OR=3.44; 95% CI:2.21–5.34) were associated with an increased influence of malnutrition among CKD patients. This review provides comprehensive evidence of potential influencing factors of malnutrition among CKD patient
Nutritional Status and Factors Affecting Food Intake among Hospitalized Patients in Hospital Ampang
Get PDFThe study aims to measure the current nutritional status and factors contributing to food consumption during hospitalization at Hospital Ampang. This is a cross-sectional study of 206 patients consisting of 104 males and 102 females respectively between 18 to 70 years of age. Data obtained from Factors Influencing Dietary Intake of Hospitalized Patients Questionnaire and Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002). We used standardized methods to measure weight, height. Body weight categories were defined based on Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI of participants was 26.08±4.56 kgm-2 and 52.0% (107) of participants had low risk of malnutrition and at risk of malnutrition. 85.4% admitted that the food tasted different. To conclude, patients’ low consumption of food during hospitalization should be enhanced. Thus, it is essential to implement effective strategies and interventions to increase dietary intake among hospitalized patients to fulfill their nutritional requirements and encourage quick recovery
The Correlation between Probiotic Consumption and Sleep Quality among Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the relationship between probiotic consumption and an individual\u27s sleep quality. A systematic search for relevant articles was conducted in Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect databases for publication between 2013 and 2023. The article selection process is presented using a PRISMA diagram. Data analysis was performed using Review Manager Version 5.4 and publication bias was assessed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA) V4. This systematic review and meta-analysis included 10 studies examining the effect of probiotic consumption on sleep quality measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and 3 studies assessing the effect measured by Electroencephalogram (EEG). Based on the PSQI results, the findings indicate that probiotics considerably enhance sleep quality, with the pooled odds ratio of -0.32 (95% CI:-0.64–0.01; p=0.04). However, probiotic consumption shows no significant effect on sleep quality measured by EEG. Further studiesexploring the relationship between probiotic consumption and sleep quality using objective methods and larger samples are necessary to confirm the impact of probiotic supplementation on sleep quality. While these findings suggest that probiotic supplementation could be a potential strategy for improving sleep quality, additional research is required to strengthen these conclusions and investigate the underlying mechanisms
