To compare prevalence of anemia and hemoglobin (Hb) levels in Brazilian pregnant women before after flour fortification with iron.A repeated cross-sectional panel study public health care centers municipalities the five regions was conducted. Retrospective data were obtained from 12,119 medical records distributed two groups: (delivery prior to June 2004) (date last period 2005). Anemia defined as Hb<11.0 g/dl. Hb according gestational age assessed using references literature. Statistical...
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the content bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity present in three fruit species from Brazilian Cerrado: carnauba (Copernicia prunifera (Mill.) H.E. Moore), murici (Byrsonima crassifolia L. Rich)and oiti (Licania tomentosa (Benth) Fritsch). Among analyzed fruits, showed highest total phenolic (1236.42 ± 34.06 mg GAE 100 g-1) followed by (468.90 27.30 (314.44 9.50 g-1). Regarding activity, 4350.31 1.85 µmol TEAC.100 g-1 14721.69 0.85 g-1....
This study assessed the antioxidant, total phenolic, and physicochemical properties of in vitro Terminalia Catappa Linn (locally called castanhola) using DPPH assay. The castanhola fruits had an average weight 19.60 ± 0.00 g, combining shell, pulp, seed weight, a soluble solids content 8 °Brix. chemical composition was determined with predominance carbohydrates (76,88 0,58%).The titration method used to determine Vitamin C 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCFI), known as reactive Tillmans...
To determine overweight and obesity prevalence in preschool children from public education, to their relation food consumption.Cross-sectional study with aged between 2 5 years, of both sexes, enrolled at municipal day care centers. Socioeconomic, demographic anthropometric data were collected, order calculate the body mass index (BMI) for age. Data on consumption assessed using a Food Frequency Questionnaire. χ2 test, Kruskal-Wallis Student's t-test Pearson's correlation used significance...
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is one of the most important legumes produced in tropical and subtropical regions throughout world, especially developing countries Africa, Latin America, Asia. It main source protein, calories, dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins for a large segment world population. also potential functional food with range bioactive compounds, including phenolic compounds. This legume grown mainly North Northeast Brazil, but consumed other regions, thus farmers...
ABSTRACT The development and enrichment of food are great importance not only for the industry but also to improve population's nutrition, where you can create new products or optimize existing ones. consumption fortified in diet is an option control deficiency diseases. This study aimed develop enriched cheese bread with whole biofortified cowpea flour evaluate their acceptance chemical composition. Two formulations, F1 F2, were prepared containing 5.6 8% as a substitute starch,...
ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the effect of cooking on centesimal compositions, content bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activities in beans cowpea cultivars. The were cooked without soaking (1:5 w/v) a pressure cooker for 780 seconds. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test difference between means raw beans. One-way ANOVA: post-hoc Tukey’s test applied at 5% compare data Significant (p 0.05) noted moisture contents samples, with values ranging from 10.69...
