Comparison of the effect of two strains of mottle virus, two strains of veinbanding virus, and latent-A virus, alone and in combination, on vigor, yield and quality of British Sovereign strawberry plants grown under two planting systems showed: 1. Vigor was reduced by infection by a single virus and still further reduced by two viruses; 2. Yield was reduced by virus infection, especially during the first fruiting year when plants were grown under the hill system; 3. Fruit size was reduced only by virus combinations; 4. Fruit quality was affected only by veinbanding, which increased the total acid content and tended to reduce sugar content.

Разработана технология желейных изделий (ЖИ) с использованием белоксодержащего студнеобразователя – желатина для повышения их пищевой ценности и снижения содержания сахара. Был использован желатин марки П-11 с прочностью студня 1100 Н. Определены оптимальные соотношения рецептурных компонентов – патоки и желатина, который вносили в желейные массы в количестве 4, 6 и 8% по массе выхода желейной массы, и параметры технологического процесса получения ЖИ на желатине. Установлено, что оптимальным является добавление 20–25% патоки. Содержание редуцирующих веществ при этом составляет 12%. Определено, что пластическая прочность корпусов ЖИ, необходимая для их дальнейшей обработки, составляет 16 кПа. Она достигается при добавлении 8% желатина по массе выхода желейной массы в массу влажностью (23 ± 1)% и температуре формования 65–70°С за 45–50 мин выстаивания при температуре 8–10°С. Определены показатели пищевой, г на 100 г продукта: белки 6,6; жиры 8,7; углеводы 52,2 и энергетической ценности 100 г продукта – 1391,9/333 кДж/ккал разработанных ЖИ. Пищевая ценность желейных изделий на желатине, полученных по разработанной технологии, повысилась в пять раз за счет увеличения количества белка до 6,6%, а их сахароемкость снижена более чем на 16,0% по сравнению с аналогичными показателями ЖИ на агаре. Технология разработана с учетом использования действующих поточно-механизированных линий. The technology of jelly products (JP) using a protein-containing gelling agent – gelatin to increase their nutritional value and reduce sugar content is developed. P-11 grade gelatin with jelly strength of 1100 H has been used. The optimal ratio of the formulation components-molasses and gelatin, which was introduced into the jelly mass in an amount of 4, 6 and 8% by weight of the jelly mass yield, and the parameters of the technological process of producing JP on gelatin are determined. It is established that the addition of 20–25% molasses is optimal. The content of reducing substances in this case is 12%. It is determined that the plastic strength of cases of confectionery, necessary for their further processing, is 16 kPa. It is achieved by adding 8% gelatin by weight of the jelly mass in the mass of moisture (23 ± 1)% and molding temperature 65–70°C for 45–50 min of standing at a temperature of 8–10°C. Indicators of food, g per 100 g of product: proteins 6,6; fats 8,7; carbohydrates 52,2 and energy value of 100 g of product – 1391,9/333 kJ / kcal of the developed products are defined. The nutritional value of jelly products on gelatin obtained by the developed technology increased five times due to an increase in the amount of protein to 6,6%, and their sugar content was reduced by more than 16,0% compared to similar indicators of JP on agar. The technology is developed taking into account the use of operating flow-mechanized lines.

In this work, we examined knowledge about sugars and guidelines for its consumption and explored the relationship between knowledge and measures related to nutritional information processing as well as sugar consumption. Specifically, we asked participants (n = 1010 Portuguese) to categorize a set of ingredients (e.g., glucose, aspartame) regarding their composition (i.e., intrinsic vs. added/free sugars) and origin (e.g., natural vs. artificial) and if they were aware of the WHO guidelines for sugar intake. Overall, despite using information about sugar frequently and considering attending to such information as very important to stay healthy, most participants were unaware of the WHO guidelines and revealed difficulties in the categorization task. Women, participants with a higher level of education, and those with children in the household reported higher use of sugar content information present in nutritional labels, higher perceived knowledge of nutritional guidelines, and higher hit rates in categorizing sugar sources. Almost one-fourth of the population exceeds the daily limit recommended by the WHO. Therefore, characterizing the knowledge of a Portuguese sample regarding sugar sources and sugar intake guidelines is particularly relevant, and our results emphasize the need to implement effective strategies to reduce sugar intake.

This paper describes a study that tests for the enhancement of low-sugar pastry via olfaction and examines its effects on pastry consumption. Olfactory taste enhancement preserves the nutritional benefits of low-sugar pastry while retaining the pleasure of full-sugar pastry. Willingness to reduce sugar intake and eat healthily is stronger today than at any time before in western societies, and low-sugar pastry can be effective in reducing sugar intake among consumers in these markets. The challenge, however, is that consumers' liking of pastry is driven by the sweet taste pastry eating procures; reducing pastry sugar content makes it healthier but probably less tasty and thus of a low market acceptability. Results from laboratory experiments show that smelling clearly perceivable sugar-associated odour significantly enhances perceived sweetness and pleasantness, and leads to the higher consumption of low-sugar pastry. These findings have implications for pastry makers and retailers as well as for social marketers. Odour-induced taste enhancement enables food makers and retailers to achieve the goals of selling both tasty and healthy pastry. It can be also a vector to promoting healthy pastry by converting the ‘healthy = untasty’ attitude into a ‘healthy and tasty’ attitude.

Excessive free-sugar intake has become highly prevalent in numerous countries, and Portugal is not the exception. One product category that contributes to the daily intake of free sugars is breakfast cereals. In the current work, we identified 289 exemplars from two major retailers in Portugal and collected information on their nutritional profile (e.g., sugar, salt, fiber per 100 g), price, packaging features, type of food claims present (e.g., statements about the composition, sensory features, the origin of the product), and ingredients list. Overall, the sugar content of breakfast cereals was high (Mean = 19.9 g), and less than 10% of the products complied with the current national guidelines (i.e., 5 g of sugar per 100 g of product). Sugar (or other sugar sources) was listed in the top three ingredients for over 85% of the products. On average, each product included about four claims (Mean = 3.9), and sugar content was lower when the claims were related to the product composition. Critically, the sugar content was particularly high for children-oriented products (Mean = 26.4 g). Correlation analysis showed that breakfast cereals with higher sugar content also were cheaper and had lower quantities of fiber, proteins, and salt. Our findings suggest the need to implement strategies to reduce sugar in this product category (e.g., incentivize manufacturers to reformulate products). Also, our results may inform strategies aimed at promoting consumers’ awareness about the sugar content in breakfast cereals and other processed foods, facilitating healthier decision-making.

Abstract Obesity and increased body adiposity have been alarmingly increasing over the past decades and have been linked to a rise in food intake. Many dietary restrictive approaches aiming at reducing weight have resulted in contradictory results. Additionally, some policies to reduce sugar or fat intake were not able to decrease the surge of obesity. This suggests that food intake is controlled by a physiological mechanism and that any behavioural change only leads to a short-term success. Several hypotheses have been postulated, and many of them have been rejected due to some limitations and exceptions. The present review aims at presenting a new theory behind the regulation of energy intake, therefore providing an eye-opening field for energy balance and a potential strategy for obesity management.
