Food fortification involves adding essential nutrients to foods in order to prevent nutritional deficiencies in the population. Common foods fortified include wheat flour, rice, oils, salt and cereals by adding vitamins A, D and minerals like iron and iodine. Fortification can be done through various methods like biofortification of crops, home fortification by adding micronutrient powders to foods, or commercial and industrial fortification during food processing. While fortification improves nutrition and health, limitations include not all population groups benefiting and nutrient interactions affecting absorption. Current focus is on both reducing deficiencies and promoting overall health.

Processing pulses through puffing, flaking, and milling into flour can improve their nutritive value by reducing anti-nutritional factors. Puffing exposes grains to high steam pressure which causes them to burst open and expand in size. Flaking involves partially cooking grains through steaming then pressing or rolling them into thin crispy flakes. Milling grains in plate, roller, or hammer mills produces pulses flours. Soaking, puffing, flaking, and milling techniques can increase the protein, fiber, and mineral content of pulses while decreasing compounds responsible for flatulence.

The study concluded that M. oleifera leaf powder has potential as a nutrient supplement to improve nutritional status and manage anaemia.
What is Raw Food ?
The dictionary definition says it all : Raw / uncooked; being natural condition; not processed or refined. Since uncooked, unprocessed and unrefined foods are alive until the moment we eat them, they give us that same energy, that vital life-force that increases our health and make us strong and vibrant.
Diabetes SA's Annual Food and Health Seminar 'Mediterranean Magic' was held on Saturday 21 February 2015 at the Adelaide Convention Centre in their brand new Panorama Rooms.
After the opening by General Manager, Fiona Benton, the 400 guests (approx.) were informed of all of the benefits of enjoying a Mediterranean eating pattern through including legumes and nuts every day by Dr Alison Coates, from the University of South Australia.
At morning tea time, guests were invited to enjoy tasting some of the Mediterranean foods through mini sweet potato, button mushroom and spinach frittatas, mini chicken, tabouleh and hummus wraps and diced fruit with vanilla bean yoghurt. Guests were also treated by the Australian Mushroom Growers Association with a very tasty mushroom, rice and quinoa salad, which everyone seemed to enjoy!
After morning tea, Glenn Cardwell, an Accredited Practising Dietitian from Perth, entertained the crowd and discussed the many benefits of consuming vegetables and most importantly, consuming mushrooms as part of your five serves of vegetables every day.
Then to show guests how easy it is to embed the Mediterranean style of eating into every day meals, Danielle (Health Promotions Officer) and Dayna (Dietitian) from Diabetes SA conducted a cooking demonstration where they made rice paper salad rolls and berry and yoghurt parfaits.
Feedback from the seminar was very positive and the venue was beautiful with stunning views of the river and Adelaide Oval.
Thank you to all who attended and organised the seminar, making it a great success.

Diet Affects Intestinal Health Lab Animal 2016Mike Pellizzon
The document discusses the importance of carefully selecting laboratory animal diets for research experiments. It compares standard chow diets to purified diets, noting that chow diets contain varying levels of fiber, phytoestrogens, and heavy metals that can differ between batches. Purified diets have consistent, defined ingredients that allow researchers to control the diet's nutrient composition. However, purified diets typically contain only insoluble fiber unlike chows, which can impact gut health and experimental results. Recent studies show that adding soluble fiber to purified diets prevents adverse effects on the gut seen with low-fiber purified diets alone. Researchers must consider how an animal's diet can influence experimental outcomes.
Effect of dry heat treated jackfruit seed powder on growth of experimental an...iosrjce
This study examined the effects of including different proportions of dry heat treated jackfruit seed powder in the diets of experimental rats. 27 rats were divided into 3 groups: a control group fed a standard diet, and two treated groups fed supplementary diets containing either 65% or 22.5% jackfruit seed powder. The group fed 65% powder showed severe growth retardation, while the group fed 22.5% powder showed comparable growth to the control. Liver function tests revealed no adverse effects for any group. Therefore, moderate proportions of dry heat treated jackfruit seed powder can be included in food products without negatively impacting growth or liver health.
This document discusses non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and respiratory diseases in developing countries like India. NCDs are a major public health challenge and cause significant economic losses due to reduced productivity.

Hepatocarcinoma today between guidelines and medical therapy. The role of sur...Gian Luca Grazi
Today more than ever, hepatocellular carcinoma therapy is experiencing profound and substantial changes.
The association atezolizumab (ATEZO) plus bevacizumab (BEVA) has demonstrated its effectiveness in the post-operative treatment of patients, improving the results that can be achieved with liver resections. This after the failure of the use of sorafenib in the already historic STORM study.
On the other hand, the prognostic classification of BCLC is now widely questioned. It is now well recognized that the indications for surgery for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are certainly narrow in BCLC and no longer reflect what is common everyday clinical practice.
Today, the concept of multiparametric therapeutic hierarchy, which makes the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma much more flexible and allows the best therapy for the individual patient to be identified based on their clinical characteristics, is gaining more and more importance.
The presentation traces these profound changes that are taking place in recent years and offers a modern vision of the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

nutrigenomic regulations of these genes.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, is a neurotransmitter that
sends chemical messages through the brain and the nervous
system, and is involved in regulating communication between brain
cells.

Total Subjects: 28 subjects .
2 Groups: 14- Meals with WR, 14- Meals with BR for first 8 weeks, then
vice versa.
On 1st and 14th day: Blood samples were collected after 1, 2 and 4 hours
of meal ingestion.
Result:
1) ↓ postprandial blood glucose levels by α-glycosidase inhibitors.
2) ↑postprandial endothelial function in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

23. CONCLUSION
Nutritious.
Tasty.
Low on calories; binge eat rice guilt-free.
Cooked like normal rice.
Dietary bran has excellent chemopreventive properties, which can
prevent proliferation and division of cancer cells.
Brown Rice is a very good antioxidant, and help delay ageing.
Further studies on the bioavailability, metabolism, and tissue
disposition of the rice bran bioactive components in humans are
needed.
