Stunted Growth

Malnutrition is the reason for stunted growth among children and nutritional deficiencies are prevalent in all age groups. The present food industry provides food products that are not necessarily nutrient rich. Quinoa, Chickpeas and Oats are better supplier of nutrients and are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals therefore these are used to develop the food product. The present study was designed to focus on the development of the best sample of the tarts that was acceptable by all age groups. A panel of twenty experts examined four samples of tarts, namely A, B, C & D, which were made with different variations in the ratio of Quinoa: Chickpea: Oats as 30:35:3540:30:30, 50:25:25 and 60:20:20 respectively. The scores obtained from the panel of experts were used to evaluate the best tart in terms of six evaluation criteria i.e. appearance, color, texture, taste, flavor and aftertaste. TOPSIS methodology was used for ranking of tarts as this is the best MADM methodology for ranking of the criteria. This research assessed the effects of baking on the development of tarts and it was found that a successful food product could be made using the ratio of 60:20:20 (sample D). The physicochemical properties were analyzed which showed that the carbohydrate, protein, fat, sugar, and energy content of the acceptable tart were 40.4 g, 8.4 g, 12.7 g, 15.37 g and 310.6 kcals respectively.

Product Verification

Despite rooted from Islamic needs, Halal certification also attracts both Muslims and non-Muslims. In fact, the non-Muslim players are the ones dominating the industry. It is widely known that Halal food chain is quite vulnerable due to complications in maintaining Halal integrity, the necessity to prevent doubtful materials, lack of control of food norms, and the importance to retain high quality. The presence of Halal certification is a form of consumer protection and therefore, the integrity of Halal certification must be carefully monitored. There are some Halal violation cases and this can potentially affect the reputation of the Halal food products. Therefore, it is important to develop a system that integrates a verifiable, open, and safe shared database that is not run by a centralized operator. Blockchain technology is the one that offers such. The study presents a framework for blockchain technology for Halal product verification for manufactured food products. The results are desired to help the food industry players in maintaining a system that can improve the transparency and the integrity of their Halal food chain. The system also intends to ensure the affordability and accessibility of Halal certification for as many industry players as possible as blockchain technology is believed to remove the complications in the certification process and reduce paperwork related cost.

The paper deals with the theory of fuzzy sets as applied to food industry products. The fuzzy indicator function is shown as a criterion for determining the properties of the product. We compared the approach of fuzzy and probabilistic classifiers, their fundamental differences and areas of applicability. As an example, a linear fuzzy classifier of the product according to one-dimensional criterion was given and an algorithm for its origination as well as approximation is considered, the latter being sufficient for the food industry for the most common case with one truth interval where the indicator function takes the form of a trapezoid. The results section contains exhaustive, reproducible, sequentially stated examples of fuzzy logic methods application for properties authentication and group affiliation of food products. Exemplified by measurements of the criterion with an error, we gave recommendations for determining the boundaries of interval identification for foods of mixed composition. Harrington’s desirability function is considered as a suitable indicator function of determining deterioration rate of a food product over time. Applying the fuzzy logic framework, identification areas of a product for the safety index by the time interval in which the counterparty selling this product should send it for processing, hedging their possible risks connected with the expiry date expand. In the example of multi-criteria evaluation of a food product consumer attractiveness, Harrington’s desirability function, acting as a quality function, was combined with Weibull probability density function, accounting for the product’s taste properties. The convex combination of these two criteria was assumed to be the decision-making function of the seller, by which identification areas of the food product are established.

Operational Modes

Automation in the food industry is not as developed as in the automotive industry because of difficulties in handling food products with large variations in shape, size, and mechanical properties. In this paper, a pneumatic-driven soft needle gripper is proposed for handling food materials. It was constructed using a soft membrane and multiple rigid needle-like fingers. It can work under two operational modes: grasping and piercing. The grasping mode can be used to grasp shredded and chopped food materials. The piercing mode is for handling food products when only the top surface of the food product is available for handling. The needle gripper is fabricated using a multi-material 3D printer. Experimental tests on various food materials are conducted to validate grasping and piercing operations. The results of grasping tests suggest that the needle gripper can successfully grasp shredded and chopped food materials. A quantitative analysis shows that the relative standard deviation of the grasped food weight was within 20%. Although the results of piercing tests validate that the needle gripper can successfully handle various food materials, releasing the food materials involves certain difficulties.

Perspective Drawing

Previous studies have generated important insights into consumer behavior. However, no study has addressed how to persuade young people belonging to Generation Z to increase the purchase intention of food products from a gender perspective. Drawing on ambivalent sexism theory, this paper explores the influence of the attitude toward advertising and the ethical judgment to predict consumers’ food product purchase intention. We applied a quantitative method, partial least squares structural equation modeling, to 105 individuals. Two advertisements with different food products and female role stereotype categories are using: (1) women in a traditional role or housewife’s role (benevolent sexism), and (2) women in a decorative role or physical attractiveness (hostile). However, the results show that attitude toward advertising has a direct and positive influence on purchase intention in advertisement with benevolent sexism. In addition, the effect of ethical judgment on consumers’ food product purchase intention is not significant. In the advertisement with hostile sexism, both—attitude toward advertising and ethical judgment—directly and positively impact purchase intention. The study provides a novelty conceptual model in the food industry for Generation Z and recommendations on the use of female sexist stereotypes in food and beverage advertising.

The Impact

Food processing enterprises could ensure production competitiveness by improving product quality and harmonising it with consumer requirements. The non- communicable diet-related diseases have been increas- ing rapidly among consumers in the last decade as well as the impact on people’s attitudes towards nutritional aspect of the quality of food products and healthier diet. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the methodology for increasing production competitiveness in food industry of the Republic of Srpska, based on consumer-oriented food product development and healthy diet. The struc- tured questionnaire and scientific methods were used in young consumer representatives’ research regarding food product development in the target market. Exactly 720 participants were recruited from public educational institutions in the Republic of Srpska. The descriptive statistics and correlation were used for the data analysis. The results indicated positive statistically significant correlation coefficients (p0.05) between consumer interest in new products and: healthy diet preferences; product ingredients; product higher nutritive value (vi- tamins, minerals, dietary fibres content); fruit, fruit juice and low-energy beverages consumption. Also, knowl- edge on diet-related diseases was in significant posi- tive correlation with them. The data analysis revealed that an increase in production competitiveness could be assessed through developing food products based on nutritive elements, modelling and consumer interest in new food products with higher nutritive quality.

Одним із пріоритетних завдань сучасного хлібопечення є випуск продукції, яка відрізняється покращеними споживними властивостями. Для виконання цього завдання необхідно максимально залучити в господарський обіг місцеві сировинні ресурси рослинного походження, розробити оптимальні способи їх переробки з метою отримання біологічно цінних напівфабрикатів, що стане поштовхом для виробництва функціональних продуктів харчування. Щоденне споживання хліба дає нам всі підстави вважати його продуктом харчування, що має першочергове значення, тому не випадково у статті була здійснена спроба доповнити рецептуру хліба пшеничного для надання йому істотно нових споживних властивостей, які відповідали б сучасним вимогам щодо харчування. Use of raw material which is a natural source of biologically active substances and adapted to the digestive ration of ordinary Ukrainians in order to enrich food products is an interesting problem to consider. It is possible to supplement the balance of vitally important for a person macro- and micronutrients at the expense of valuable high-yielding crop – pumpkin. Although in Ukraine the volume of cultivation and use is rather low, pumpkins have been and remain favorite vegetable crop of many Ukrainians. Pumpkin using varies from the pharmaceutical to the food industry. In food industry pumpkin can be used in the natural form as well as in the form of semi-products. The advantage is given to a variety of semi-finished products which are better stored, transported and  used. So, study of semi-finished products quality as a raw material for the enrichment of bread with important macro- and micronutrients in order to obtain functional products is important and urgent. One of the priorities of the modern bakery is output of products which are characterized by improved consumer characteristics. To accomplish this task, it is necessary to maximally involve local raw materials of vegetable origin in the economic circulation as well as to develop the optimal methods of their processing in order to obtain biologically valuable semi-finished products. This will be an impuls for the production of functional food products.  Daily consumption of bread gives us every reason to consider it to be a food product of high priority. In view of this, the article has attempted to supplement the wheat bread formula to provide it with substantially new consumer characteristics that would meet modern nutritional requirements.

<p>There is currently a global obesity epidemic and New Zealand, like many other countries, has high levels of obesity both in the adult and child population. This presents a threat to society due to the risk to individual and population health, and the impact on public services. A major contributor to obesity levels is the nature of the current eating environment; one in which various factors make it natural and easy to lead an unhealthy lifestyle. By targeting these, the law could help to combat the obesity epidemic. Historically, attempts to address obesity through legal means have encountered opposition on paternalistic grounds. Given the threat that obesity poses, both to the individual and society as a whole, a certain level of paternalism is justified to control it, particularly when it comes to the protection of children. Currently, legal measures to control obesity can be implemented in New Zealand without resorting to hard paternalism. The law should be used to increase regulation of the food industry, rather than using it to control food intake directly. This is a softer paternalistic approach and includes changes to labelling requirements and the regulation of the marketing to mandate for improved information to be disseminated about food products. It also includes the implementation of a universal nutrient profiling system to overcome any problems associated with deciding which food products should be subject to increased regulation. Change to the eating environment in New Zealand could also be facilitated via the implementation of a fat-tax to address the price inequalities between healthy and unhealthy food products. Currently the food industry in New Zealand is minimally regulated by statute, with an emphasis on food safety and hygiene. This is no longer appropriate given rising levels of obesity. Furthermore, it is no longer appropriate that food product marketing be regulated by the industry, given its contribution to obesity levels, and the obvious conflict of interest. Notwithstanding that obesity control in New Zealand can presently be tackled using such an approach, a higher level of paternalism is necessary for measures aimed at children. Therefore, in the current food environment, paternalistic health laws, designed to protect children, are justified on the basis of the risk to children, and the need to protect them. Additionally, the need for a more paternalistic approach to obesity control generally must be kept under continual review, particularly in light of studies linking food with addiction. Although food litigation has been initiated against food companies by the obese in other jurisdictions, and has had an impact on the eating environment, this is not a realistic prospect in New Zealand, even as a last resort, in the absence of appropriate regulation.</p>

Dysphagic Patients

Food texture is a major food quality parameter. The physicochemical properties of food changes when processed in households or industries, resulting in modified textures. A better understanding of these properties is important for the sensory and textural characteristics of foods that target consumers of all ages, from children to the elderly, especially when food product development is considered for dysphagia. Texture modifications in foods suitable for dysphagic patients will grow as the numbers of elderly citizens increase. Dysphagia management should ensure that texture-modified (TM) food is nutritious and easy to swallow. This review addresses how texture and rheology can be assessed in the food industry by placing particular emphasis on dysphagia. It also discusses how the structure of TM food depends not only on food ingredients, such as hydrocolloids, emulsifiers, and thickening and gelling agents, but also on the applied processing methods, including microencapsulation, microgels as delivery systems, and 3D printing. In addition, we address how to modify texture for individuals with dysphagia in all age groups, and highlight different strategies to develop appropriate food products for dysphagic patients.
