Abstract:
... The processing of selected foods by nonthermal technologies is gaining relevance in the food industry because, in many cases, the final product keeps the nutritional value and other fresh-like characteristics of the original one. There are several nonthermal technologies including high pressure processing, pulsed electric fields, ultrasound, and cold plasma which are at different stages of develop ...

Abstract:
... Starch exists naturally as insoluble semi-crystalline granules assembled by amylose and amylopectin. Acknowledging the pioneers, we have reviewed the major accomplishments in the area of starch structure from the early 18th century and further established the relation of starch structure to nutritional functionality. Although a huge array of work is reported in the area, the review identified that ...

Abstract:
... The main aim of the current study was to examine and compare the nutritional quality and degree of naturalness of chocolate and cereal bars. Our analysis relied on a dataset (n = 100) of the most consumed chocolate and cereal bars in Germany in 2019. The Nutri-Score and the Food Naturalness Index were calculated to measure nutritional quality and naturalness of the bars, respectively. Cereal bars ...

Abstract:
... In response to the detrimental health- and environmental impacts of European consumers' dietary patterns, Nutri-Scores and Eco-Scores have been introduced on packages as guidance for choices. Whereas the scores are promising to improve food choices from a nutritional point of view, the scant available literature suggests very limited effects on the environmental impact of food choices. Therefore, ...

Abstract:
... The chili pepper is highly valued for its pungency and nutritional value, in addition to being a good source of phenolic compounds. Several factors affect the production of phenolics in the plant, including plant regulators. In this context, the present work aims to evaluate the influence of ABA, GA₃, and SA in the production of phenolic compounds in Capsicum frutescens. It was applied 10 mmol L⁻¹ ...

Abstract:
... Extreme heat events threaten the development, functioning, and success of bee pollinators and crops that rely on pollinators for high yields. While direct effects of extreme heat and climate warming have gained more attention, the indirect effects on bees and crops remain largely unexplored. Extreme heat can directly alter the nutritional value of floral rewards, which indirectly contributes to lo ...

Abstract:
... Organic farming is characterized by the prohibition of the use of chemical synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, feed additives and genetically modified organisms and by the application of sustainable agricultural technologies based on ecological principles and natural rules. Organic products are believed to be more nutritious and safer foods compared to the conventional alternatives by consumers, wi ...
nutritivevalue, etc ; biomass; ecosystems; energy; food webs; landscapes; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Our understanding of ecosystem functioning is strongly linked to the study of predator–prey relationships and food web structures. However, trophic ecology has often focused on identifying taxonomic relationships and quantifying the biomass or energy ingested by consumers, but has often failed to integrate the importance of the nutritional quality of resources in ecological dynamics. Underlying th ...

Abstract:
... Brassicaceae family includes various economic plants for edible or ornamental purposes. Brassicaceae vegetables are considered to be a major part of human diet as sources rich in phytochemicals. Among them, anthocyanins provide red to blue colors in Brassicaceae plants and as well have nutritional value and pharmaceutical potential. This review aims to summarize the chemical composition, stability ...
nutritivevalue, etc ; crystal structure; enzymatic reactions; gelatinization; retrogradation; starch; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Most starchy foods are subjected to thermal processing before consumption, leading to the changes in structural and functional properties of starch. Understanding these changes is of great theoretical interest and industrial significance in that it indicates how thermal processing can modulate the quality and nutritive value of starchy foods.Thermal treatment in the presence of water, as occurs du ...

Abstract:
... Climate change is creating phenological mismatches between consumers and their resources. However, while the importance of nutritional quality in ecological interactions is widely appreciated, most studies of phenological mismatch focus on energy content alone. We argue that mismatches in terms of phenology and nutrition will increase with climate change. ...

Abstract:
... The purpose of this study is to evaluate the nutritional value of ready-to-eat meals available in Greek retail outlets. A total of 228 meals were identified, their nutritional value was registered according to their labels and a comparison was performed against specific nutritional criteria for the macronutrients, per serving. The 183 products were main dishes and 45 were salads and appetisers. Th ...

Abstract:
... The complexity of food structure is such as to hinder its inclusion in mathematical models predicting food properties and transformations, although a considerable impulse is being determined by using artificial intelligence. As a matter of fact, food definition currently neglects the structural description, even in those fields for which structure is demonstrated to have a decisive role, such as n ...
