Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a cyclical late luteal phase disorder of the menstrual cycle whereby daily functioning women affected by emotional and physical symptoms substantially interfering with their quality life. Little known about PMS in United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study aimed to determine prevalence severity among university students Sharjah, UAE, clarify its associations dietary habits, lifestyle behaviors, anthropometric factors. A cross-sectional was conducted on female...
Protein-rich energy bars are known as an excellent nutritional supplement for athletes that help to build and repair connective tissues. The study is, therefore, aimed at developing high-protein using lupine seeds, wheat germ, selected dried fruits including raisins, dates, apricots, cranberries. Different formulations (F1, F2, F3, F4) were performed different ratios of ingredients produce compared them with a control bar made whey-protein concentrate oat flakes. For this purpose, proximate...
Marshmallow candy is a well-known sugar-based confection that widely consumed among different population groups. However, its high sugar contents and low nutritive value might lead to adverse health outcomes. This study, therefore, aimed develop optimal formulations for functional marshmallow using honey, aqueous hibiscus extract, cow’s milk, strawberry concentrates with partial replacement of table glucose syrup. In this regard, six (F1–F6) were developed, varying in the ratios key...
The production of functional candies has garnered significant attention due to the growing consumer demand for healthier confectionery options. This study investigates jelly gum by replacing table sugar and glucose syrup with honey blueberry concentrate. Various formulations were developed tested phenolic flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, textural properties, acceptance. Results showed that addition ingredients increased content compared control. modified gums exhibited strong...
Olive leaves (Olea europaea L.) are a source of natural bioactive compounds with various health benefits and often considered agricultural waste. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant, antibacterial, antidiabetic activities an infused aqueous extract ultrasonic-assisted extracts (aqueous, methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane) from wild olive grown in United Arab Emirates (UAE). The aqueous-infused exhibited highest total phenolic content (TPC; 91.9 mg GAE/g extract), reducing power...
Very few studies have thus far evaluated the impact of various processing and preservation techniques (blanching, frying, freezing, dehydration, sun drying) on levels total phenolics, flavonoids, antioxidant activities okra. The primary objective this study was to evaluate effects different methods ethanolic extracts each sample were analyzed before after storage for a period three months. results showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in phenolic content (134.1 mg GAE/100g) DPPH...
The effect that dipping green pepper (Capsicum annuum, L.) in natural lemon juice followed by blanching had on the rate of chlorophyll color retention was studied. Dipping immediately after blanched with chloride salts copper, zinc and magnesium decreased degradation 2 weeks storage 13.6, 31.7 74.3%, respectively. minimal loss treated copper is attributed to rapid chelating complexes higher heat acid stability compared improved peeper during storage. Pepper samples different (100 ppm) coated...
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different processing treatments in terms soaking and fermentation wheat bran on weight gain, accumulative food intake efficiency ratio Sprague-Dawley rats. The experimental diets included casein diet (zero-bran), untreated diet, soaked fermented “soaked fermented” Arabic bread diet. Each group rats (6/group) fed one six prepared for 6 weeks. There no significant difference (p > 0.05) body gain among all rat groups, although tended have...
Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of an emotional support training program on weight self-stigma and body image among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Design/methodology/approach A randomized controlled trial was conducted 200 diagnosed PCOS employing a pretest-posttest design. The experimental group, consisting 100 women, participated in received informational booklet, while control group (100 women) only booklet. Pre- post-intervention assessments were using...
<p>This study was carried out to investigate the effect of a dietary preparation Birhi tamr (<em>Phoenix dactylifera</em> L.) on serum glucose levels and body weight in normal, diabetic insulin-treated insulin-untreated rats. Diabetes partially induced by intraperitoneal injection streptozotocin (32.25 mg/kg). Thirty six male Sprague-Dawley rats (239 ± 8.4 g) were divided into two groups. Each group fed diet containing either 0% or 10% for weeks. Fasting determined...
