While the impacts of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors on chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) are widely established, the interactions between such coexisting risk factors and their subsequent effects on the promotion or suppression of CVD are less known. As part of the diet, functional foods are considered a modifiable factor that influence health beyond their basic nutritional value. The relationship between these functional foods and the underlying genome, along with their joint implication in health and disease, forms the focus of the emerging field of nutrigenomics. Reviewed in this paper are some prominent gene-diet interactions demonstrated in CVD etiology. Specifically, the interaction between foods such as phytosterols and isoflavones with genetic factors of the consuming population are examined in relation to CVD. By determining how nutritional intake affects genetics and vice versa, we create the potential to offer improved dietary guidelines to certain individuals, subgroups, or populations in order to maximize health benefits of specific diets.

Former food products (FFPs) are foodstuffs that, even though they are nutritious and safe, have lost their value on the human consumption market for different reasons, such as production errors leading to broken or intermediate foodstuffs, surpluses caused by logistical challenges of daily delivery, or any other reason. The nutritional features of FFPs include carbohydrates, free sugars, and possibly also fats. FFPs tend to have been processed through various technological and heat treatments that impact the nutrients and the kinetics of digestion, as well as animal response and, particularly, gastro-intestinal health. This review integrates some of the most recently published works about the chemical composition, nutritional value, digestibility and glycaemic index of ex-foods. In addition, a view on the relationship between the use of FFPs and safety issues and their effects on pigs’ intestinal microbiota are also given.

Abstract. Work productivity is a concept that shows the relationship between work results and the unit of time needed to produce the product. A worker is said to be productive if he is able to produce more output than other workers for the same unit of time. Work productivity is influenced by several factors, including gender, age, health status / nutritional status, biological disorders of the female workforce, education, years of service and disruption in the work environment. A study of women has been carried out in a number of Gipang Small and Medium Industries (IKM) in the Cilegon area, Banten to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of female workers on the productivity of their work in making gipang (a typical Banten food made from sticky rice mixed with sugar water). The number of respondents as many as 40 people with criteria for female workers aged 20-45 years with healthy conditions, no menstruation, not pregnant, not in the puerperium and menopause, have worked to make gipang at least 2 years and at least educated at the level of junior / equivalent. Data analysis was performed using the statistical regression analysis method. The results of data processing showed that Fcount <Ftable (0.362 <0.55) showed that the nutritional value or Body Mass Index (BMI) did not significantly influence the productivity of female workers in GIPang Gipang. The p-value (Significance F) = 0.55 indicates that height and weight did not significantly influence the nutritional value of female workers. Tcount <ttable also shows that nutritional status does not have a significant effect on work productivity.Abstrak. Produktivitas kerja adalah suatu konsep yang menunjukkan adanya kaitan antara hasil kerja dengan satuan waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk menghasilkan produk. Seorang tenaga kerja dikatakan produktif jika ia mampu menghasilkan keluaran (output) yang lebih banyak dari tenaga kerja lain untuk satuan waktu yang sama. Produktivitas kerja dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, diantaranya adalah jenis kelamin, usia, status kesehatan/status gizi, gangguan biologis tenaga kerja wanita, pendidikan, masa kerja dan gangguan di lingkungan kerja. Telah dilakukan penelitian kajian wanita di beberapa Industri Kecil Menengah (IKM) gipang di daerah Cilegon, Banten untuk mengetahui hubungan antara status gizi pekerja wanita terhadap produktivitas kerjanya dalam membuat gipang (makanan khas daerah Banten yang terbuat dari ketan dicampur dengan air gula). Jumlah responden sebanyak 40 orang dengan kriteria tenaga kerja wanita usia 20-45 tahun dengan kondisi sehat, tidak mengalami menstruasi, tidak hamil, tidak dalam masa nifas dan menopouse, telah bekerja membuat gipang minimal 2 tahun dan minimal berpendidikan setingkat SLTP/sederajat. Analisa data dilakukan dengan metode analisis statistik regresi.  Hasil pengolahan data didapatkan Fhitung < Ftabel (0,362 < 0,55) menunjukkan bahwa nilai gizi atau Indeks Masa Tubuh (IMT) tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap produktivitas pekerja wanita pada IKM gipang. Nilai  p-value (Significance F) = 0,55 menunjukkan bahwa tinggi badan dan berat badan  tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap nilai gizi pekerja wanita. Nilai thitung < ttabel juga menunjukkan bahwa status gizi tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap produktivitas kerja.

The article analyzes the mass fraction of sugar in the composition of the most common types of marmalade in retail chains. The hypothesis of the relationship between the statistics of childhood obesity in Russia and the increase in the consumption of "hidden" sugars is presented. The article substantiates the relevance of introducing healthy sweets into the diet of children. The results of a patent search and laboratory study of the sugar content in industrial marmalade by capillary electrophoresis are presented. A computer model of the marmalade recipe with a low sugar content and high nutritional value was obtained.

This review focuses on yeast suspensions applied with the aim to enhance nutritional content of agricultural products. Seventy one publications were studied, and their details summarized in tables, according to the following plant groups: 1/ arable plants, 2/ vegetables, 3/ medicinal and ornamental plants. It was found that the experimental designs in these papers were inconsistent in most cases and, regardless to plant species used, the concentration of yeast extract, time of application, and repetitions of the treatment were fundamentally different, making evaluation of the methodologies difficult. However, all studies agreed in the positive impact of yeast extracts on nutritional parameters. Therefore, it is advisable to perform further studies to clarify the relationship of individual nutritional parameters to spraying dose, timing and repetition of yeast application.

Broccoli (Brassica oleraceaL. var.italica) is currently considered a main vegetable food in the markets due to its high nutritional value, containing elevated levels of phytochemicals widely described to have beneficial effects against cancer and other illnesses. Broccoli is an interesting crop with a high commercial value because it complements the tomato industry, the main agricultural income in Badajoz, Spain. Nine varieties of broccoli from four nurseries were evaluated by analyzing both agronomic and quality parameters. Total yield and number of harvests were monitored. Parameters defining quality like diameter, weight, and height of the heads were determined. Granulometry, compactness, and the presence of internal leaves in the heads were also analyzed. Diameter and height of sprouts were complementarily estimated. Principal component analysis was further employed to investigate the relationship between the agronomic variables and the cultivars and nurseries. Results revealed that both first and second principal components explained more than 75% of the variance and grouped data according their cultivar and commercial origin. Additionally, correlations between the scores of those components and the values of the phenotypic parameters suggested that head weights are main determinants of the phenotypic differences observed among the cultivars whereas the presence of internal leaves and granulometry and head weight appear to be key traits defining nurseries.
