Cereals and cereal products - a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023
Food Nutr Res. 2024 Feb 14;68. doi: 10.29219/fnr.v68.10457. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTCereals and cereal products have traditionally been staple foods in many countries including in the Nordics and Baltics. Cereals can be consumed with their entire grain kernel and are then referred to as whole grains or can be consumed after removal of the bran or germ and are then referred to as refined grains. The terms cereals and grains are often used interchangeably. In this scoping review, we examine the associations between intake of cereals and cereal products and major health outcomes to contribute to up-to-date food-based dietary...

Extraction, purification, structural characteristics, bioactivity and potential applications of polysaccharides from Avena sativa L.: A review
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Mar 15:130891. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130891. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAvena sativa L. (A. sativa L.), commonly known as oat, is a significant cereal grain crop with excellent edible and medicinal value. Oat polysaccharides (OPs), the major bioactive components of A. sativa L., have received considerable attention due to their beneficial bioactivities. However, the isolation and purification methods of OPs lack innovation, and the structure-activity relationship remains unexplored. This review emphatically summarized recent progress in the extraction and purification methods, structural...

Soil microbial community are more sensitive to ecological regions than cropping systems in alpine annual grassland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
DiscussionOur study highlights the variation in soil microbial communities among different in alpine ecological regions and their resilience to cropping systems. Our results also underscore that mixed legume planting is a sustainable and effective forage management practice for the Tibetan Plateau. (Source: Frontiers in Microbiology)

Shrouded in history: Unveiling the ways of life of an early Muslim population in Santar ém, Portugal (8 < sup > th < /sup > – 10 < sup > th < /sup > century AD)
In this study, skeletal material from 58 adult individuals was analysed for stable carbon (δ13Ccol;δ13Cap), nitrogen (δ15N) and sulphur (δ34S) isotope ratios in bones, and stable oxygen (δ18O), carbon (δ13Cen) and radiogenic strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes in tooth enamel. The results of this study revealed a dietary pattern of predominantly C3-plant and domestic C3-fed herbivore consumption during adulthood (δ13Ccol andδ15N, respectively) but a higher proportion of C4-plant input during childhood (δ13Cen) for some individuals —interpreted as possible childhood consumption of millet porridge, a common practice in...

Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Vehicle-Controlled Study of Topical Coconut and Sunflower Seed Oil-Derived Isosorbide Diesters on Atopic Dermatitis
Conclusions: Topical application of emollients containing coconut oil- and sunflower seed oil-derived fatty esters may improve itch, reduce topical steroid use, and reduce the relative abundance of S. aureus in mild-to-moderate AD.

Risk of exposure to aflatoxin M1 through consumption of cow ’s milk among children in Magadu, Morogoro
This study determined AFM1 contamination of cow ’s milk and estimated the health risk of dietary AFM1 through consumption of cow’s milk among children (6 to 36 months) in the Magadu ward of Morogoro region in Tanzania. A total of 165 mother-baby pairs were recruited and interviewed on child feeding practices with a focus on feeding of cow’ s milk in the past 24 h. Alongside the interview, 100 raw cows’ milk samples were collected from subsampled respondent households and were analyzed for AFM1 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that about 35% of the surveyed children consumed cowâ...

Anorexia of ageing is associated with elevated fasted and lower post-prandial ghrelin, independent of ghrelin O-acyltransferase
Appetite. 2024 Feb 8:107259. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107259. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe role of ghrelin metabolism in anorexia of ageing is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine acyl-ghrelin, total ghrelin, and ghrelin O-acyltransferase concentrations when fasted and in responses to feeding in older adults exhibiting anorexia of ageing. Twenty-five older adults (OA; 15f, 74 ± 7 years, 24.5 kg m-2) and twelve younger adults (YA; 6f, 21 ± 2 years, 24.4 kg m-2) provided a fasted measure of subjective appetite and fasted blood sample (0 min) before consuming a standardised porridge breakfast meal (450 kcal...

Thickening human milk: the effect of time, temperature, and thickener for infants with dysphagia
Conclusion: Time, temperature, and thickening agents have a significant impact on the thickness level when added to expressed human milk. Certain foods such as fruit purees, squash, yogurt, and raw oatmeal may effectively thicken human milk, and the IDDSI flow test can assess if the mixture maintains a similar thickness level over time. These foods could be considered for older infants with dysphagia. When thickening human milk for infants with dysphagia, close physician and clinician monitoring is recommended given the potential positive and/or negative consequences on oral feeding and overall health.What is Known:• Thi...
