Chia has been known for over 5,500 years. Chia seeds were one of the most important components of the diet of Mayas and Aztecs. The chemical composition and technological properties of chia give the plant a high nutritional potential. Chia is a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6, soluble dietary fiber. It also contains appreciable amount of proteins and phytochemicals...
Background. An adequately balanced daily food rations (DFR) providing the organism with a sufficient amount of energy and nutrients, including minerals, is particularly important in infanthood and early childhood due to the child’s intensive physical, intellectual and motoric development. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluation the supply of energy, nutrients and vitamins in daily food...
Sweetleaf (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni), currently investigated by many researchers, has been known and used for more than a thousand years indigenous tribes of South America, who called it “kaa-hee” (“sweet herb”). Thanks to its chemical composition and processability sweetleaf may be an alternative for synthetic sweeteners. Nutritional and health-promoting aspects of Stevia rebaudiana are presently...
Background. The widespread and increasing occurrence of obesity, hypertension and associated disease has necessitated serial testing in order that risks of contracting such conditions become minimised through appropriate therapy and prevention. Many studies report that nutritional factors significantly affect the aetiology of hypertension and obesity that include mineral uptake. There are only a few...
Introduction. One side effect of antihypertensive drugs is their impact on nutritional status and metabolism. The purpose of this study was to assess the nutritional and biochemical parameters in spontaneously hypertensive rats following treatment with antihypertensive drugs. Materiał and methods. The experiment was performed on 50 male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), which were assigned to...
Introduction. Gluten-free products usually contain low amounts of protein and minerals. However, the information about their nutritional quality is limited. The objective of this study was to determine the content and release of minerals from selected gluten-free products. Material and methods. The content and release of Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Cu from selected gluten-free products was determined. The...
Chromium(III) plays an important role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, thus supplements containing this element are broadly advertised as efficient agents improving blood glucose levels or even reducing body mass. However, their hypoglycemic potential depends on the chemical form, bioavailability, dosage and the duration of treatment. Chromium(III) supplementation is generally considered safe...
