In this study, we identified 22 been reported to These contain various bioactive compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols effects. Some these...

Malnutrition commonly affects all groups in a community, but infants and young children are the most vulnerable. Worldwide, nearly 24 million under five experience severe acute malnutrition (SAM) which contributes to one child deaths yearly 19 severely wasted living developing countries. While treatment of is well established, achieving desired outcomes has proven be challenging. There limited evidence showing success treatments study area. Therefore, this aimed determine recovery time from...

This study investigates the optimization of four gluten free flours namely sorghum, rice, teff flours, and 3% flaxseed flour blends to enhance quality

Injera is a staple fermented food in Ethiopia and prepared from teff (Eragrostis (Zucc) Trotter). However, due to the higher price of recently, only middle- high-income people can afford it. Hence, this study investigated effect Blending Ratio (BR) Teff flour (TF), Buckwheat Flour (BWF), Pearl Millet (PMF) Fermentation Time (FT) on overall quality injera. The injera showed protein as 9.06–11.82%, crude fat 2.60–5.10%, fiber 1.97–2.56%, total ash 1.78–2.24%, carbohydrate 71.43–75.34%, energy...

In the present research, survival and sustainability of a Lactobacillus rhamnosus probiotic has been investigated with regard to prebiotic impact introducing two different kinds onion (Allium cepa L.) peel extract microcapsules. Effective inclusion red white featuring good action into microcapsules enhanced survival. The structure, distribution size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficacy probiotics substances in were evaluated along capability persist under simulated gastrointestinal...

Encapsulation plays a vital role in the food industry, known for its multifunction constituents' preservation, covering undesirable components (taste, color, flavor), nutritional and functional incorporation, under controlled conditions (time rate) release of encapsulation ingredients. Milk proteins are highly demanding encapsulating material investigated at large scale to design devices. Polyphenols, flavorings, fatty acids, minerals, hydrophobic vitamins within bioactives. protein is...

Malnutrition has been responsible directly or indirectly for 10.9 million deaths worldwide annually among children under five. Childhood malnutrition is highly related to poor nutritional quality diet in developing countries where there limited access animal based foods. Most foods consumed by young are cereal which contain high amounts of anti-nutritional factors. Fermentation thought significantly lower the content anti-nutrients grains. This study therefore, aimed determine complementary...

Abstract Background Early marriage and early childbearing are common practices in Ethiopia. Girls who get married give birth at a very young age more likely to experience several health problems including anemia among others. However, the effects of on status adolescent girls have not been quantified previous studies. In this study, we assessed whether measured both individual community levels associated with anemia. Methods We analyzed data from 2016 demographic survey Our study focused...

Abstract Background Undernutrition among adolescents is a major public health problem in developing nations including Ethiopia. Adolescents need to have good-quantity and good-quality nutrients cope with this rapid growth other risks which increase nutritional demand. This study aimed assess the prevalence associated factors of stunting thinness school Finote Selam Town, Northwest Methods A school-based cross-sectional adolescent students aged 10–19 schools was carried out Town from February...

Starch nanoparticles resist digestion in the upper intestine but not colon. They are proven to exert prebiotic effects on human body. Starch-based have generated a great interest food and agriculture sector due their biocompatibility, wide array of natural sources ease modification. In current study, two starch (rice water chestnut) were used synthesize for encapsulation probiotic bacteria. Obtained characterized morphological, molecular, structural attributes using Fourier Transform...

Sesame belongs to the family Pedaliaceae and scientifically named as Sesamum indicum L. It has been considered one of most ancient oil crop. To explore nutraceutical therapeutic potential sesame seeds, present study was planned develop protein-enriched bars with addition barley flour at rate 10%, 20%, 30% among treatments T1, T2, T3, respectively. barley-supplemental protein (SBSP) were analyzed for compositional, phytochemical, sensory attributes including color, texture, taste, holding...

In the current study, taro starch was extracted and used for encapsulation of probiotics to prolong their viability under stressed conditions. Taro sodium alginate were as wall materials Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Probiotic bacteria encapsulated by extrusion method, obtained microbeads subjected various morphological, molecular, structural characterization using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ;(FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Furthermore,...

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic and chronic disease linked to lifestyle factors like dietary patterns physical inactivity. This randomized clinical study aimed develop novel intervention using pomegranate peel powder-based multigrain chapatti prevent diabetes. The product was formulated by incorporating powder into mixture of wheat flour, pearl millet chickpea flour. included the formulation various treatments (T

Even if adolescence is a window of opportunity to break the intergenerational cycle malnutrition, adolescents are neglected age groups. Hence, information regarding nutritional status lacking, making creating and implementing intervention programs difficult. This study aimed assess prevalence determinants thinness among school in Finote Selam Town, Northwest Ethiopia. A school-based cross-sectional adolescent students aged 10–19 public primary secondary schools was carried out Town from...

Abstract Background Anemia is one of the world’s public health problem, especially in developing nations. The majority women childbearing age (15–49) are affected by anemia.
