The goal of this study was to determine the effect of rice and hemp protein addition together with transglutaminase on the quality and fat content of fried instant noodles. The following parameters have been analyzed during this research: the amount of water, fat content, hydration time, color and texture parameters. The evaluation of sensory parameters before and after cooking of instant noodles has been performed. It can be concluded that the addition of TGase significantly decreased the fat content; the recipe with a 3% hemp protein addition with TGase in an amount of 2% was the most promising solution to obtain a low-fat product. On the other hand, the better consumer acceptance levels were observed for the rice protein addition (1%) with 2% TGase. It seems that the most promising product is the sample with a 5% addition of rice protein with 2% TGase-a reduction in the fat content by 30% (from 25% to 16%). The addition of rice protein, hemp protein and TGase reduced the fat content of the instant noodles in comparison to the control sample. The additives used had an impact on the L*, a* and b* color parameters. All instant noodles obtained during the research process were characterized by a short hydration time, which did not exceed 5 min. During the sensory evaluation, analyzed samples of the instant noodles obtained scores higher than 4.2 points on a five-point scale.

Fresh pasta (SP) was prepared by mixing semolina with liquid sourdough, whole wheat semolina based, and the effects of sourdough inclusion were evaluated against a control sample (CP) prepared using semolina and whole wheat semolina. Physicochemical, nutritional, and sensorial analyses were performed on pasteurized fresh pasta, before and after cooking. The optimum cooking time was not affected by whole wheat sourdough, whereas differences were found in color, firmness, and cooking loss. Changes of in vitro digested starch fractions in SP pasta were affected by a higher cooking loss. Overall, SP samples were characterized by improved nutraceutical features, namely higher content of free essential amino acids and phenolic compounds, lower phytic acid content, and higher antioxidant activity. Sensory analyses (acceptability and check-all-that-apply (CATA) tests) showed significantly higher scores for the SP, and the differences were enhanced when the consumers were informed about the product composition and how it was manufactured. Consumers checked for more positive sensory parameters for the SP than the CP.

Purpose: Evaluate the effect of addition of commonly consumed fructose containing sugars to the usual diet on liver fat content. Background: Fructose induced triglyceride synthesis has been argued to be augmented when accompanied by glucose. As the most common sources of fructose, high fructose corn syrup HFCS) and sucrose, also contain glucose such a response would be particularly detrimental to metabolic health due to the known role of excess fat in the liver in the induction of abnormalities in glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance and the subsequent development of type II diabetes. Methods: For ten weeks, sixty-eight individuals (42.16 ± 11.66 years) consumed low-fat milk sweetened with either HFCS or sucrose such that the added sugar matched the 25th, 50th and 90th percentile population consumption levels of fructose. Fat content of the liver was obtained before and after the ten week intervention. Imaging was performed on a Philips 64-slice CT scanner. Region of interest measurements in the four sectors of the liver delineated by the hepatic veins were obtained in all patients, and converted to hepatocellular fat content percentages. Fat content of the liver remained unchanged (13.32 ±10.49 vs 13.32 ± 10.75%, p > 0.05). Group assignment did not affect the result interaction p > 0.05). Conclusions: These data suggest that ectopic fat storage in the liver is not promoted when fructose is consumed as part of a normal diet, even in amounts as high as the 90th percentile consumption level.

В России наблюдается повышенный интерес к продуктам питания, включающим нетрадиционное сырье. Спрос на продукты с добавкой семян конопли (Cannabis sativa L.) обусловлен их питательной ценностью и низкой аллергенностью. Исследованы химические и физико-химические показатели пшенично-конопляной муки, полученной из помольной смеси зерна яровой пшеницы сорта Радмира и семян конопли сорта Сурская в соотношении соответственно 95 : 5, 92,5 : 7,5 и 90 : 10%. В качестве контрольного образца была пшеничная мука без добавок. Размол помольных пшенично-конопляных смесей различного соотношения и зерна пшеницы проводили на мельницах лабораторного помола (МЛП-4) с нарезными (драные системы) и микрошероховатыми вальцами (размольные системы). Исследование химических и физико-химических свойств образцов пшенично-конопляной и пшеничной муки проводили на инфракрасном анализаторе SpectraStar 2500 XL. Установлено, что добавление семян конопли в помольную смесь существенно снижает выход пшенично-конопляной муки по сравнению с выходом пшеничной муки (при добавке 5–7,5% семян конопли выход снижается на 4,3–4,4%, а при добавке 10% семян конопли – на 10,6%), однако повышается содержание жира и белка во всех потоках пшенично-конопляной муки, полученной как с драных, так и с размольных систем. По сравнению с содержанием жира и белка в муке из зерна пшеницы, составившим 1,12 и 11,57% соответственно, при добавлении 5% семян конопли в помольную пшенично-конопляную зерновую смесь средневзвешенное содержание жира в пшенично-конопляной муке составило 3,76%, а содержание белка – 12,74%, при добавлении 7,5% конопли в помольную смесь средневзвешенное содержание жира в пшенично-конопляной муке составило 4,35%, а белка – 12,7%, при добавлении 10% конопли в помольную смесь средневзвешенное содержание жира в пшенично-конопляной муке составило 4,97%, а содержание белка – 12,4%. Повышение содержания жира и белка в пшенично-конопляной муке будет способствовать повышению пищевой ценности хлебобулочного изделия из нее. Increased interest in food products, including non-traditional raw materials, is observe among the population of Russia. The demand for products with the addition of hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa L.) is due to their nutritional value and low allergenicity. Chemical and physico-chemical parameters of wheat-hemp flour obtained from a grind mixture of Radmira spring wheat grain and Surskaya hemp seeds in the ratio: 95 : 5, 92,5 : 7,5 and 90 : 10%, respectively, were investigated. Wheat flour without additives was use as a control sample. Grinding of grind wheat-hemp mixtures of various ratios and wheat grains was carried out in laboratory grind mills with rifled (torn systems) and micro-roughened rollers (grinding systems). The study of chemical and physico-chemical properties of wheat-hemp and wheat flour samples was carried out on the SpectraStar 2500 XL infrared analyzer. It was found that the addition of hemp seeds to the grind mixture significantly reduces the yield of wheat-hemp flour compared with the yield of wheat flour (with the addition of 5–7,5% of hemp seeds, the yield decreases by 4,3–4.4%, and with the addition of 10% of hemp seeds – by 10,6%), however increases the fat and protein content in all streams of wheat-hemp flour obtained from both torn and grinding systems. Compared with the fat and protein content in wheat flour, which amounted to 1,12 and 11,57% respectively, when adding 5% hemp to the wheat-hemp grain mixture, the weighted average fat content in wheat-hemp flour was 3,76%, and the protein content was 12,74%, when adding 7,5% hemp to the grind mixture, the weighted average fat content in wheat-hemp flour was 4,35%, and protein – 12,7%, and when adding 10% the weighted average fat content in wheat-hemp flour in the grind mixture was 4,97%, and the protein content was 12,4%. An increase in the fat and protein content in wheat and hemp flour will contribute to an increase in the nutritional value of a bakery product made from it.

Tapai is one of the most popular traditional desserts in Malaysia and other Asian countries. Traditionally, tapai is wrapped in a rubber leaf to enhance the smell and increase its palatability. The study focused on identifying the yeasts present before and after the production of glutinous rice tapai wrapped in different rubber leaves clones, namely RRIM 2025, RRIM 2002, PB 260 and PB 350. The identification of the yeast was carried out using API 20C AUX test strips for all rubber leaves clones, glutinous rice tapai wrapped in RRIM 2025, RRIM 2002, PB 260, PB 350 and in a container (control). The results showed that Crytococcus laurentii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa 2, Candida famata, Rhodotorula minuta were present in rubber leaf clones. While the yeasts that had been identified in tapai wrapped in rubber leaf were Candida guilliermondii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa 2, Candida parapsilosis and Trichosporon mucoides and only C. guilliermondii was found in the container. The physical properties of the tapai that are wrapped in rubber leaves have a difference in texture, pH value and total soluble solids content compared to the control sample. The tapai sample wrapped in RRIM 2025 and RRIM 2002 had a high total soluble solid content of 45.8±0.14% and 45.78±0.16% °Bx, respectively. Meanwhile, the control sample has the highest pH value and the hardest rice kernels, which were 4.71±0.05 and 218.19±25.39 N, respectively. The results showed that the different yeasts present in the rubber leaf may cause changes in the physical properties of glutinous rice tapai.

Barnyard millet is one of the hardest millet. The grains can be used as food and can be cooked similar to rice. The carbohydrate content is low and slowly digestible. This property makes the barnyard millet a natural designer food. The objective of the present investigation was to develop barnyard millet based products and to determine their nutrient composition. A total of seven products using barnyard millet, viz., fruit cake, paddu, instant dosa, puliyogare, gulab jamun, nutri bar and maddurvada were developed. Three of the above products were analysed for nutritional composition, while for remaining the nutritional value was computed for developing a nutrient database. All the prepared products were subjected to sensory analysis by 30 untrained panel members for evaluating the acceptability. Sensory analysis of all millet incorporated products showed that they were acceptable in comparison to control products prepared with traditional cereals. Nutritional composition of millet-based products was similar to control products for macronutrients and showed a higher content of micronutrients. Maddurvada was a baked product with a lesser fat content than the commercial fried product. Puliyogare prepared using only millet was found to be highly acceptable and was nutritionally superior. The sensory parameter of instant dosa prepared with millet was also acceptable. The study showed that preparation of various traditional products using barnyard millet did not affect the sensory parameters; hence, its use can be promoted for health benefits.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of extract from broccoli byproducts, as a green alternative to chemical preservation strategies for fresh filled pasta. In order to prove its effectiveness, three different percentages (10%, 15%, and 20% v/w) of extract were added to the filling of pasta. A shelf life test was carried out by monitoring microbiological and sensory quality. The content of phenolic compounds before and after in vitro digestion of pasta samples was also recorded. Results underlined that the addition of the natural extract helped to record a final shelf life of about 24 days, that was 18 days longer in respect to the control sample. Furthermore, results highlighted that the addition of byproducts extract to pasta also increased its phenolic content after in vitro digestion. Therefore, broccoli byproducts could be valorized for recording extracts that are able to prolong shelf life and increase the nutritional content of fresh filled pasta.

Background: Cleanliness of tourist area is managers and visitors responsibilities to maintain the beauty of tourist destinations. Disposing of trash in its place becomes very important in maintaining the cleanliness of tourist sites. The role of health promotion media to improve awareness and behavior of tourist in maintaining cleanliness is necessary to be conducted. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of providing garbage disposal posters towards the utilising trash bin in tourist sites.Method: This study employs a quantitative method with a quasy experimental approach, non randomized control group pretest posttest design. It was carried out in four tourist sites which consist of two tourist sites as intervention area and the others as control. Sample of this study was consisted of 15 bins/each site which met the criteria of sanitation standards and selected purposively so that the total sample was 30 bins in the intervention and 30 bins in the control areas. The variables included the volume of waste in each trash bin, the quality of trash bin distributed and the number of visitors before and after intervention. Measurements were conducted for 14 days.Results: The volume of waste was increased significantly after providing posters in the intervention sites compared to controls’. Likewise, the quality of trash bin distributed at tourist sites was also increased significantly in the intervention areas compared to controls. The number of visitors at four destinations was increased significantly after intervention because post-test was conducted at long vacation period. That would directly effect to waste volume in the trash bin at 4 tourist destinations. This study recommends to managers to put interesting poster or other instagramable media to promote healthy behaviour related to the cleanliness and beauty at tourist areas.

1. Skeletal muscle strength, contractile properties and radiological composition have been studied in seven morbidly obese adults (six female) before and 1 year after gastroplasty operations. The mean body weight fell from 138.3 kg (sd 25.2) to 99.7 kg (sd 23.0) (P < 0.001). 2. The strength and contractile properties (force/frequency, relaxation rate and fatiguability) of both the adductor pollicis and quadriceps muscles were unaffected by the weight loss. 3. Computerized axial tomography scans obtained 1 year after surgery showed that the quadriceps contained an abnormally high proportion of fat. The mean fat content was 10.8% (range 3.0–30.1%) compared with 1.6% (range 0–5%) for normal muscle. Two individuals were scanned before and after surgery and the fat content of their quadriceps fell from 12.6% and 6.9% to 3.1% and 3.0%, respectively. 4. It is concluded that in obese individuals large amounts of weight can be lost, from both subcutaneous and intramuscular fat stores, without compromising either the strength or contractile properties of skeletal muscles. These results do not support the claim that skeletal muscle contractility is a sensitive indicator of changes in nutritional status.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility of using the new marketing research tool of prediction markets (PMs), which integrates customers to into the marketing research process. The research questions are: does taking part in PMs influence customers’ brand perception? Is there a danger of damaging a brand through this tool? Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses a series of five short-term (less than one hour) and five long-term (three weeks) experimental online PMs where customers are integrated into marketing research and apply a series of online-surveys before and after taking part as virtual stock market traders. Subjects of research are taken from the sporting goods industry. Findings – The paper shows that PMs can be used by marketing researchers without the danger of damaging the brand of the products that are subject of the PMs, although customers are being integrated to improve the markets’ forecasting accuracy. Research limitations/implications – The study's subject are medium priced sporting goods only. Possibly in other product fields, results may differ. Thus, the authors see a field for further research in this limitation. Practical implications – Managers for marketing intelligence have more reason to make use of the efficient and rather new tool, PMs. Marketers can potentially improve their forecasting accuracy by integrating customer information into their reports. In addition, the authors see a high potential in the area of innovation management as well. Originality/value – There has been no research on perceptions of PMs and brands at all so far.
