This review article aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the main determinants consumers' acceptance novel foods (new and ingredients) in EU with emphasis on product's intrinsic properties (sensory characteristics) individual factors (socio-demographics, perceptive, psychological) by adopting a systematic approach following PRISMA methodology. Case studies terrestrial (i.e., insects, cultured meat other animal origin products, plant-based food including mushrooms, analogues, pulses,...
Obesity is a common nutrition-related disorder leading to reduced life expectancy in both humans and dogs. With the aim of identifying new prevention control options, study objectives were (1) investigate dog-owner perceptions about obesity terms themselves their dogs, (2) identify factors associated with possible social, environmental economic drivers for its development dog owners pets. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based was performed across multiple countries. The questionnaire focused...
Background: Changes in salivary proteome obese patients, response to weight loss, was previously observed after bariatric surgery. Additionally, saliva responses exercise and/or dietary treatments have been reported. The present study aimed assess the changes induced by loss due negative energy balance. Methods: participants were a group of individuals (5 men and 5 women) from reality TV-show that submitted intense restriction, for 8 weeks. Saliva collected at beginning end program....
<h3>Background:</h3> Male carriers of the <i>FMR1</i> premutation are at risk developing fragile X–associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), a newly recognised and largely under-diagnosed late onset neurodegenerative disorder. Patients affected with FXTAS primarily present cerebellar ataxia intention tremor. Cognitive decline has also been associated premutation, but lack data on its penetrance is growing concern for clinicians who provide genetic counselling. <h3>Methods:</h3> The Mattis...
Previous studies suggested that dietary tannin ingestion may induce changes in mouse salivary proteins addition to the primarily studied proline-rich (PRPs). The aim of present study was determine protein expression induced by condensed intake on fraction whole are unable form insoluble tannin-protein complexes. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separation used, followed identification mass spectrometry.Fifty-seven spots were excised from control group gels, and 21 different...
Sweet taste plays a critical role in determining food preferences and choices. Similar to what happens for other oral sensations, individuals differ their sensitivity sweet these inter-individual differences may be responsible variations acceptance. Despite evidence that saliva perception, this fluid has been mainly studied the context of bitterness or astringency. We investigated possible relationship between salivary composition subjects with different sucrose detection thresholds. Saliva...
Saliva appears as a defence mechanism, against potential negative effects of tannins, in some species animals which have to deal with these plant secondary metabolites their regular diets. This study was carried out investigate changes parotid saliva protein profiles sheep (Ovis aries) and goats (Capra hircus), induced by condensed tannin ingestion. Five Merino five Serpentina were maintained on quebracho enriched diet for 10 days. collected through catheters inserted ducts salivary proteins...
The biochemical components of saliva can change in certain pathologies horses, for example acute abdominal disease. aim this study was (1) to evaluate if a panel analytes usually used serum be measured horses and (2) the possible changes these affected by A 23 analytically validated pilot with six healthy disease were evaluated. significant then evaluated larger population 20 37 diseased horses. Seven showed increases which confirmed population. changes, their median fold increase...
