Nazlı Nur Aslan Çin, Metehan Yüce, Ayşe Özfer Özçelik

International Journal of Food Science & Technology > 59 > 5 > 3226 - 3234

Since there is currently a lack of scientific evidence regarding the iodine content of raw and cooked fish, this study assesses that of various raw and cooked (boiled, pan‐fried, and oven‐baked) fish samples, using inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS), following alkaline extraction. The iodine content of the raw fish is found to be highest in anchovy (295.9 ± 4.2 μg/100 g) and lowest...

Nutrition & Dietetics > 78 > 3 > 268 - 275

Aim To describe food scores that can be interpreted as indicators of the potential effects of a food on health outcomes. Methods The scores consist of weighted averages of the estimates of the association between a health outcome and nutrient balances. Each food contributes a set of weights depending on its nutrient composition. The nutrient balances of a food's constituents are defined in a manner...

Aquaculture Research > 52 > 1 > 196 - 207

High lethality of white hepatopancreas syndrome has caused large economic loss of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). Hepatopancreas colour of diseased crabs is gradually lighter, turning from golden yellow to yellow‐white to white. This study investigated composition of conventional nutrients in three edible parts of different coloured hepatopancreases of adult males, including normal yellow...

Nutrition Bulletin > 45 > 2 > 165 - 174

A new analytical survey on key cuts of pork sold in the UK has been undertaken to determine the current nutrient content of commonly consumed pork cuts and leaner cuts of pork that are becoming more popular. The last government analytical survey on pork for the UK food composition tables was carried out in 1992, and it has been suggested that production methods and feed have changed. Pork fillet medallions,...

Planta > 2019 > 250 > 3 > 709-729

Main conclusion Nutrient-rich neglected and underutilized plant species could help transform food systems, provided science and policy are better connected, and greater coordination exists among the diverse stakeholders working with these species. Abstract Why have our food systems come to rely on such a narrow range of plant species of limited nutritional value? Today three staple crops (rice,...

The magic angle view to food: magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy in food science

Henrik Max Jensen, Hanne Christine Bertram

Metabolomics > 2019 > 15 > 3 > 1-25

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used in food science and nutritional studies for decades and is one of the major analytical platforms in metabolomics. Many foods are solid or at least semi-solid, which denotes that the molecular motions are restricted as opposed to in pure liquids. While the majority of NMR spectroscopy is performed on liquid samples and a solid material gives...
