There is an increasing trend today towards plant-based diets in western society, often resulting milk restriction. In the case of very young children, direct substitution by other foods, without proper nutritional advice, may lead to a lack nutrients and hence growth development alterations. This study focuses on assessment various commercially available drinks, determine their adequacy as alternatives ruminant milk, relation requirements toddlers (1-3 years old), establish whether sources...
Plant-based beverages (PBB) market is largely growing. In this study, 136 made of soy, oat, almond, rice, tigernut, and others (mixtures various plant materials), from the Spanish were evaluated through labelling information. Energy value fat content intermediate between skimmed whole cow milk; while fatty acids profile was quite different. Carbohydrate usually higher than milk, highly dependent on addition sugars. All products provided some dietary fibre. With exception soy-based drinks,...
The gboma (Solanum macrocarpon L.) and scarlet eggplants aethiopicum L.), which form part of the traditional sub-Saharan African culture, are two many neglected crops with potential for increased cultivation or as a genetic resource improving agronomic traits common eggplant. This work is focused on analysis glycoalkaloid levels in S. to assess their safety. Liquid chromatography−mass spectrometry was used quantify glycoalkaloids compared Solanum melongena L. Fruits contained 0.58−4.56...
Abstract The edible fruits of four wild small trees or shrubs ( Arbutus unedo , Crataegus monogyna Prunus spinosa and Rubus ulmifolius ) traditionally consumed in the Iberian Peninsula were studied to evaluate their potential for human nutrition, considering content bioactive compounds. Lipophilic phytochemicals, such as fatty acids tocopherols, well some hydrophilic antioxidants, vitamin C organic acids, analyzed. In addition, antioxidant activity, measured lipid peroxidation inhibition...
Introduction . Many underutilized wild fruits have great nutritional and functional potential, providing chemical compounds with biological properties. Materials methods In the present work we quantified bioactive such as vitamin C (ascorbic dehydroascorbic acids), total phenolic composed mainly of acids, flavonols anthocyanins, well evaluating antioxidant capacity through different in vitro tests (Folin-Ciocalteu, ABTS·+, DPPH· FRAP) blackthorn (P. spinosa L.) hawthorn (C. monogyna Jacq.)...
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seeds have been traditionally used as food and their consumption is increasing nowadays. They a remarkable nutritional value, but scarce information available about mineral elements bioavailability. The objectives of this study were to determine the element phytate contents eight different varieties whole hemp commercial hulled seeds. Phosphorus was most abundant with higher content in (1.1 g/100 g) than seeds, well potassium, magnesium, zinc. Calcium, manganese,...
A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for soluble sugars analysis, using an [[(aminopropyl)methyl]silyl]-bonded amorphous silica column, was applied to several dry legumes: chickpeas, lentils, white beans, pinto and peas. Monosaccharide (ribose, fructose, glucose, galactose), disaccharide (sucrose, maltose, melibiose), oligosaccharide (raffinose, ciceritol, stachyose) composition of these samples analyzed, with special interest on α-galactosides, because their physiological...
The young stems of Opuntia spp., known as cladodes are widely consumed in Mexico, and appreciated for their high content fiber beneficial effects the metabolism glucose. Since, boiling process is often applied to these vegetables, objective this study was evaluate influence on chemical composition, antioxidant capacity physicochemical properties two cladode cultivars. components most affected were soluble compounds (sugars, minerals, vitamin C phenolics), while proteins, lipids showed a...
