Increasingly, policymakers are setting ambitious goals for sustainability in public procurement, integrated across different pillars. Such ambitions apparent catering services, where procurement models have been shifting towards greater localisation of supply chains and purchasing more organically grown food. To date however, few studies examined empirically what the impacts these multiple pillars sustainability. This research aimed to fill gap, by measuring comparing environmental, economic...
Different lactic acid bacteria starters were used to prepare sourdough make partially-baked frozen wholemeal wheat bread. The was prepared with a pure culture of Lactobacillus plantarum or commercial containing brevis combined Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. chevalieri (LV4), fermentum (PL1), phytase (PL3). We determined the acetic and concentrations in sourdough, bread chemical composition, total phenolics content glycemic index (GI) vivo. Depending on starter, ratio significantly different....
Non-communicable diseases (NCD) and lifestyle, particularly diet, have a close relationship. Based on the recent statistics, Croatian men women lead in European overweight lists, which implies pessimistic prognosis terms of incidence prevalence NCDs future. One possible solutions to overcome weight problems is turn traditional balanced sustainable diets, such as Mediterranean diet. In this study, we assessed adherence towards diet using validated questionnaire an online survey associated...
Abstract Introduction: Control of serum phosphate is important for patients on hemodialysis. The aim the study was to determine if education based phosphorus‐reducing techniques in food preparation and thermal processing, accordingly prepared applied diets, will lead better outcomes than a standard program improve control Methods: Forty‐seven hemodialysis were divided between an intervention group. All subjects received training about nutrition by trained dietitian. In addition, group...
Plant-based foods are known to be rich in nutrients, but they also a good source of phytochemicals that have positive effect on health. However, it appears children EU countries consume less plant-based and thus low phytochemical intake. Therefore, the aim this study was estimate dietary index (DPI) investigate relationship between DPI sociodemographic lifestyle factors. estimated from 3-day records 195 (52% boys; 8.9 ± 0.4 years) 14 primary schools city Zagreb (school years 2018/2019)....
Background and objectives: Early nutritional assessments have the potential to improve prognostic outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Among all parameters measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), extracellular water total body ratio (ECW/TBW) is a known factor for various diseases. The objective was investigate relationship between ECW/TBW status CRC at time diagnosis. Methods: In this retrospective study, information about patients' demographic characteristics...
Abstract Objective: This study aims at comparing two Italian case studies in relation to schoolchildren’s plate waste and its implications, terms of nutritional loss, economic cost carbon footprint. Design: Plate was collected through an aggregate selective weighting method for 39 d. Setting: Children from the first fifth grade four primary schools, each (Parma Lucca), were involved. Results: With respect served food, Parma, percentage lower than Lucca ( P < 0·001). Fruit side dishes...
Insufficient consumption of fruit and vegetables was found in primary school children. To address this problem, a three-year school-based multicomponent intervention conducted 14 schools the City Zagreb. The aim study therefore to evaluate one goals intervention—the increase vegetable intake among A total 681 children were allocated (n = 300 control group n 381 group). included 23 interactive classroom workshops, 10 cross-curricular activities, 13 homework challenges, visual exposure with...
In countries around the world, a dietary shift is observed in which consumption of highly processed foods increases over unprocessed or minimally foods. The objective this study was to observe proportion diet school-aged children and assess how relates sex, weight status school meal consumption. aim impact on overall quality terms ultra-processed contribution total daily energy intake. Dietary intake from records for three non-consecutive days 168 (50.6% boys) aged 8.3 ± 0.5 years. All...
Although obesity with its comorbidities is linked higher cancer risk, the data on genome stability in obese/severely obese are scarce. This first study three DNA damage assessment assays (Fpg-modified and alkaline comet micronucleus cytome assay) performed a severely population (n = 53) where results were compared daily intake of food groups, nutrient intake, dietary inflammatory index (DII), anthropometric biochemical parameters usually measured individuals. Results demonstrated association...
Preference could be the trigger for fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption in children modified by appropriate intervention to increase acceptance of FVs. The primary objective this study was investigate effects three-year school-based multicomponent “Nutri-školica” on FV preferences school children. It also aimed explore whether a positive change lead an actual consumption. conducted 14 schools from city Zagreb 193 (52.3% boys; age, 7.7 ± 0.4 years; n = 85 control group 108 group) who...
School meals should encourage a varied and diverse diet, since children may eat up to three at school per day. The aim of this study was assess food variety dietary diversity among primary regarding the number type meals. Dietary records for non-consecutive days were used estimate score (FVS) (DDS) 195 (52.3% boys) aged 8-9 years from schools in city Zagreb. For analysis, divided into 5 groups according consumed: non-consumers (23.1%), breakfast consumers (30.3%), lunch (5.6%), (13.3%),...
Background and Objective: Preoperative assessments of nutritional status are crucial for optimizing outcomes in bariatric surgery patients. Parameters such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), C-reactive protein (CRP), vitamin D, folic acid B12 have been individually studied relation to However, a comprehensive understanding their interrelationships the importance preoperative assessment is still needed. The objective this study determine baseline status, explore correlations between...
