Full textThe commercialization of food supplements in portuguese market requires a previous notification to DGAV. This study aimed to characterize the national market of food supplements based on notifications of labels made to DGAV, in the first quarter of 2014. The foods supplements (887) were studied and aggregated according to the characterizing ingredient (Plants/extracts, Vitamins/Minerals and Other Ingredients), purpose of use (Metabolism, Immune System, Weight Loss, Relax/Sleep, Osteoarticular, Circulation, Brain/Memory, Hair/Nails, Sexual, Hormonal System, Not Specified), the target group (Infants, Children, Seniors and General Category), legal compliance and border ingredients. After the study of characterization and based on composition and daily dose mentioned on the label, proceeded to a multivariate analysis with the goal of realizing the extent to which categories defined feature homogeneity. It has been found that the majority of foods supplements notified contains lack of information, 46% did not indicate any specification in purpose. Plants/extracts (56%) and vitamins/minerals (23%) are the characterizing ingredients more notified in national market. Due to the diversity of ingredients and amounts of food supplements reported, there is some diversity within each category. The categories that presented more diversity were plants/extracts and vitamins/minerals. Concerning the purpose of use, the group of supplements with no specified purpose of was the most heterogeneous

Full textThe Franciscan Sisters’ Congregation of Nossa Senhora de Luluti, in Mozambique, has developed a multi-mixture that is being used to fight micronutrient deficiencies in pregnant and lactating women, as well as children, on the local population. This work aims at examining the nutritional value of the developed product and its suitability for addressing the needs of the target population. The multi-mixture showed a humidity of 5.99%, pH of 4.5 and aw of 0.59. The product have: 27% of fat, 24% of fiber, 21% of carbohydrates and 20% of protein. The product’s caloric value was 408.09 Kcal/100g. The multi-mixture also showed high levels of carotenoids (137.40 μg Eq β-carotene/g) and phenolic compounds (2.41 mg Eq Gallic Ac./g), which provided, the mixture with a high antioxidant capacity (DPPH: 1.84 mg Eq Trolox/g; ABTS: 1.86 mg Eq Ascorbic Ac./g). The product regarding minerals and vitamins, presented high values of: phosphorus (1019.23 mg/100 g), iron (17.44 mg/100 g), zinc (13.32 mg/100 g), magnesium (626.25 mg/100 g), vitamin B1 (0.61 mg/100 g), vitamin B2 (11.17 mg/100 g), vitamin B3 (26.59 mg/100 g), vitamin B9 (0.12 mg/100 g), vitamin B12 (0.0007 mg/100 g) and vitamin E (19.53 mg/100 g). Statistically, the multi-mixture had a similar micronutrient composition to commercialized food supplements. Regarding the dosages administered on pregnant, lactating women and children the product formed homogenous groups with little Euclidean distances (≤0.56) from FDC-nutri and Centrum junior. In summary, the daily dosages currently distributed by the Congregation were proven to be insufficient, so a recommendation of at least doubling the quantity is put forward. The only exception is related to the children’s group between 1 to 3 years, as if it was doubled it would exceed the acceptable daily ingestion of magnesium

Sustainability of the soybean industry relies on the growth of new industries and the continued improvement of seeds for utilization. Grower adoption and growth of the edamame industry has been slow in part due to insufficient information on its potential profitability and marketability. As such, the first and second objectives of this thesis aimed at 1) determining production costs of hand-harvested fresh edamame and 2) exploring relative marketing potential of fresh, local, organic, and "on-the-stalk" edamame. Sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose sugars hold tremendous implications for utilization of soybean seeds in livestock, soyfood, and probiotics industries. Current methods of quantifying sugar are costly and time inefficient. Therefore, the third objective of this study was to develop prediction models to estimate sugar content using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). Results showed that labor accounted for 72% of production costs for edamame pods, which largely limits its profit potential. Fresh and local edamame showed considerable marketing potential over frozen and non-local edamame. In addition, organic edamame showed marginal marketing benefit over non-GMO. Pro-environmental attitudes were an important driver of these results. Meanwhile, on-the-stalk edamame shows poor marketing potential, likely due to preference for convenience of food preparation in the U.S. NIRS prediction models for sucrose and stachyose showed strong predictive accuracy and low error, suggesting potential for implementation. The prediction model for raffinose, however, remained poor.

Full textA alteração dos hábitos alimentares e do estilo de vida afetou a saúde e o bem-estar da população. Para colmatar deficiências nutricionais muitas vezes é recomendado o consumo de suplementos alimentares. Os suplementos alimentares são géneros alimentícios que se destinam a complementar e/ou suplementar o regime alimentar normal e que constituem fontes concentradas de determinadas substâncias nutrientes ou outras com efeito nutricional ou fisiológico, estremes ou combinadas, e podem ser comercializadas em diversas formas doseadas. O selénio é um micronutriente essencial e muitos estudos já demostraram a sua importância para o Homem devido as suas propriedades antioxidantes, neuro- e cardioprotetoras, anti-inflamatórias, além de atuar na prevenção do cancro. O selénio está presente em diversos alimentos, sendo que se encontra em maior concentração nos peixes, mariscos e castanha-do-pará. Os objetivos gerais deste trabalho são identificar os suplementos alimentares de selénio mais frequentemente comercializados em Portugal e as principais vias de comercialização, e ainda, analisar a legislação em vigor. O trabalho prático realizado teve como objetivo específico avaliar os níveis de exposição ao selénio numa população de grávidas da Ilha da Madeira e avaliar o risco/benefício com base nos níveis de ingestão do selénio e nas doses recomendadas de ingestão. A concentração média de selénio analisado por espectrofotometria de absorção atómica com geração de hidretos (HG-AAS) no plasma de mulheres grávidas foi de 46 ± 12 μg/L. Os valores mínimos e máximos observados foram, respetivamente, 25 e 79 μg/L. A concentração média obtida é um valor baixo quando comparado com estudos realizados noutros países. Através de um inquérito alimentar foi estimada a concentração média de selénio por refeição de peixe em 70 μg, o que significa que o peixe ingerido contribui com 42% da dose diária recomendada de selénio. A correlação entre a concentração de selénio no plasma e a dose diária de selénio estimada não foi significativa. Apesar de o peixe ser uma boa fonte de selénio, o consumo de espécies predadoras como o atum e o peixe-espada preto deve ser moderado devido a presença de poluentes tais como o mercúrio. As grávidas devem optar pelo consumo de outros alimentos ricos em selénio, bem como suplementos alimentares para aumentar a ingestão diária de selénio, e consequentemente, os níveis plasmáticos.
ABSTRACT - Foods and food supplements containing selenium: Risks and Benefits - The change in eating habits and lifestyle affect the health and well-being of the population. To address nutritional deficiencies is often recommended to consume food supplements. Food supplements are foodstuffs that are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect, alone or in combination, marketed in different dose form with the purpose to supplement the normal diet. Selenium is an essential micronutrient and multiples studies have shown its importance in the human body due to its antioxidant properties. Selenium is also known for its neuro- and cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory properties as well as its role in cancer prevention. Selenium is present in several foods and it can be found in higher concentration in fish, seafood and Brazilian nuts. The aims of this study are to identify food supplements of selenium most frequently marketed in Portugal and the leading channels of distribution, as well as the analysis of the legislation in force. The practical assignment carried out had as specific objective to evaluate the selenium exposure levels in a population of pregnant women of Madeira Island and evaluate the risk / benefit based on selenium intake levels and the intake of recommended doses. The mean concentration of selenium analyzed by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS) in plasma of pregnant women was 46 ± 12 μg/L. The minimum and the maximum values observed were 25 μg/L and 79 μg/L, respectively. The average concentration obtained is a low value compared to studies conducted in other countries. Through a food frequency questionnaire, the mean concentration of selenium per fish meal estimated was 70 μg, which means that the fish ingested contributes with 42% of the recommended daily intake of selenium. The correlation between the plasma selenium concentration and the estimated daily dose of selenium was not significant. Despite being a good source of selenium, consumption of predatory species such as tuna and black scabbrd should be moderate due to the presence of pollutants such as mercury. Pregnant women should opt for the consumption of other food rich in selenium, as well as food supplements to increase the daily intake of selenium, and consequently plasma levels.

Resumo: Os idosos constituem-se em um grupo de risco para deficiências nutricionais, devido às dificuldades na manutenção da adequada ingestão energética e de nutrientes por meio de uma alimentação balanceada. O desenvolvimento de meios para a recuperação do estado nutricional e o estímulo de uma resposta positiva na saúde dos idosos é de fundamental importância. A suplementação alimentar é um meio válido e eficaz para a recuperação e manutenção do estado nutricional em idosos. Com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos de um produto dietético sobre o estado nutricional de idosos desnutridos ou em risco de desnutrição, particularmente nos parâmetros de consumo alimentar, antropométricos e bioquímicos, foi realizado o estudo de caso. Este estudo de caso foi prospectivo, com 14 idosos, entre 68 e 95 anos de idade, que receberam um produto dietético oral, desenvolvido na Faculdade de Engenharia de Alimentos ¿ UNICAMP, composto de proteína do soro do leite, hidrolisado de colágeno, carboidratos, inulina e frutooligossacarídeos, vitaminas e minerais, ao longo de três meses. Para a seleção dos idosos foi aplicada a escala Mini-Avaliação Nutricional (MAN) e selecionados quando apresentaram desnutrição ou risco de desnutrição. A avaliação do estado nutricional foi determinada por parâmetros dietéticos, antropométricos e bioquímicos coletadas no tempo 0 e tempo 2. Os parâmetros dietéticos foram obtidos através do registro alimentar de três dias, onde foram analisados a energia e os nutrientes carboidratos, proteínas, lipídios, vitamina B12, ácido fólico, cálcio, magnésio e zinco. Os parâmetros antropométricos mensurados foram peso (P), altura (A), prega cutânea tricipital (PCT), circunferência do braço (CB), circunferência da panturrilha (CP), circunferência da coxa (CCx), área muscular do braço corrigida (AMBc), circunferência da cintura (CC), circunferência do quadril (CQ), índice de massa corpórea (IMC), a composição corporal e a massa livre de gordura (MLG) foram avaliadas por bioimpedância elétrica (BIA). Os parâmetros bioquímicos mensurados foram as dosagens de glicemia de jejum e perfil renal (uréia e creatinina), proteínas séricas (proteínas totais e albumina), perfil lipídico (colesterol total, LDL-c, HDL-c, triglicérides), Vitamina B12, ácido fólico, cálcio, magnésio e zinco. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística. Como resposta à ingestão do produto dietético foram observadas evidências nos seguintes parâmetros: na avaliação do consumo alimentar houve influência nos valores de ácido fólico, cálcio e magnésio; nos parâmetros antropométricos, embora não fossem observadas diferenças estatísticas, o ganho de peso médio em encontrado nos idosos foi de 1,88 kg; nos parâmetros bioquímicos, constatou-se que houve um aumento significativo nas dosagens de proteínas totais e albumina, colesterol total, ácido fólico, magnésio. Conclui-se que o produto dietético teve um efeito positivo em alguns parâmetros avaliados, melhorando o estado nutricional dos idosos, proporcionando um aumento no peso corporal
Abstract: The elderly is considered to be a risk group for nutritional deficiencies due to difficulties in maintining an adequate energy and nutrient intake through a balanced diet. It is extremely important to create ways to recover the nutritional status and promote a positive response in the health of elderly individuals. Food supplementation is a valid and viable way for recovering and maintaining the nutritional status of the elderly. This case study was carried out with the objective of evaluating the effect of a dietetic product on the nutritional status, particurlarly on the dietetic, anthropometric and biochemical parameters of malnourished elderly or elderly at risk of malnutrition. This was a prospective case study, with 14 elderly individuals aged between 68 and 95, who received an oral dietetic product, developt in the Faculdade de Engenharia de Alimentos ¿ UNICAMP, that it composes of whey protein isolated and a bovine collagen hydrolysate, carbohydrates, inuline, frutooligosaccharides, vitamins and minerals, for three months. For the selection of the elderly, the Mini Nutritional Assessemnt (MAN) scale was applied to choose those who presented malnutrition or risk of malnutrition. The assessment of the nutritional status was dertermined by dietetic, anthropometric and biochemical parameters estimated at time 0 and time 2. The dietetic parameters were obtained from recording the food intake of the individuals for three days and then analyzing nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, Vitamin B12, folic acid, calcium, magnesium and zinc. The measured anthropometric parameters were weight (W), height (H), triceps skinfold thickness (TST), arm circumference (AC), calf circumference (CC), thigh circumference (TC), corrected arm muscle area (CAMA), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), body mass index (BMI), and the body composition and fat-free mass (FFM) were evaluated by of the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The measured biochemical parameters were the dosages of fasting glycemia and renal function, serum proteins (total proteins and albumin), lipidic profile (total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c, triglycerides), Vitamin B12, folic acid, calcium, magnesium and zinc. The collected data was submitted to statistical analysis. The responses to the diet product intake we as follows: for the dietary intake, the product had influence on the values of folic acid, calcium and magnesium; for anthropometric parameters, though statistical differences were not observed, there was an average 1.88-kg weight gain in the elderly; for biochemical parameters, a significant increase in the dosage of serum proteins and albumin, total cholesterol, folic acid and magnesium was observed. The data suggested that the diet product had a positive effect on some of the evaluated parameters, improving the nutritional status of the elderly and promoting a gain of body weight

O consumo de suplementos alimentares tem apresentado um aumento significativo nos últimos anos principalmente pelo grande apelo desse produto em relação a complementação da dieta com elementos essenciais e a melhora e manutenção da saúde. A combinação do crescente consumo e o livre acesso a esse produto, aliado a ausência de fiscalização por parte dos órgãos governamentais torna seu consumo descontrolado, um potencial risco a saúde da população. Nesse cenário o desenvolvimento de métodos analíticos destinados ao controle de qualidade incluindo a determinação da concentração de selênio total e de suas espécies torna-se uma necessidade. Para isso, foram desenvolvidas metodologias para a quantificação de selênio total por ICP-MS e suas espécies inorgânicas (Se IV e Se VI) e selenometionina por HPLC-ICP-MS em amostras de suplementos alimentares enriquecidos em selênio e em amostra de levedura enriquecida isotopicamente em 78Se. A metodologia para determinação de selênio total, utilizando diferentes gases de reação, foi otimizada empregando planejamento experimental e os limites de detecção encontrados foram entre 0,01 mg kg(-1) (CH4) e 0,1 mg kg(-1) (NH3) e a concordância com o MRC Selm-1 de entre 99 por cento (NH3) e 104 por cento (CH4). Os resultados encontrados referentes à concentração de selênio nas amostras de suplementos alimentares apresentaram uma discrepância em relação ao valor informado no rótulo entre -29 por cento e +170 por cento e, de maneira complementar, o acoplamento do HPLC ao ICP-MS permitiu realizar a especiação de selênio nas amostras de suplemento alimentar. O emprego das técnicas ICP-MS, HPLC-ICP-MS e ESI-MS possibilitou a caracterização de uma amostra de levedura enriquecida isotopicamente em 78Se em termos de sua distribuição isotópica, concentração de selênio total e selenometionina bem como proteínas com peso molecular de aproximadamente 12 kDa.
The consumption of dietary supplements has a significant increase in recent years mainly for a great appeal of this product in relation to a complementation of the diet with essential elements and an improvement and maintenance of health. The combination of increased consumption and free access to this product, associated to the lack in the inspection by government, makes their consumption uncontrolled and a potential risk to the citizen health. In this scenario the development of analytical methods for quality control, including a determination of the total selenium concentration and its species becomes a primordial necessity. For this, methodologies were developed for quantification of total selenium by ICP-MS and its inorganic species (Se IV and Se VI) and selenomethionine by HPLC-ICP-MS in samples of selenium-based food supplements and in isotopically enriched yeast sample in 78Se. The methodology for total selenium determination was optimized by experimental design and the limits of detection were in the range of 0.01 mg kg(-1) (CH4) and 0.1 mg kg(-1) (NH3) and the agreement with the CRM Selm-1 were between 99 percent (NH3) and 104 percent (CH4). The results found for selenium content in the food supplements samples presented a discrepancy in relation to the labeled value between -29 percent and + 170 percent and, complementarily, coupling of HPLC to ICP-MS allowed an speciation analysis in the food supplements samples. The use of the ICP-MS, HPLC-ICP-MS and ESI-MS techniques enabled a characterization of a 78Se isotopically enriched yeast sample in terms of its isotopic distribution, total selenium concentration and selenomethionine as well as proteins with molecular weight of approximately 12 kDa.

Macrophytes, in specific circumstances, may have accelerated growth to the point of becoming undesirable and harmful to the environmental balance. When this occurs, appropriate disposal methods are required, or preferably, the economic and environmentally friendly use of the macrophyte biomass. Thus, studies aiming to develop management strategies or to promote the use of macrophyte biomass as a source of energy to other aquatic organisms may contribute to the development of control techniques, or costeffective strategies to increment the development of aquaculture, decreasing production costs. The present research study aimed to test the use of macrophytes as a nutritional supplement to culture zooplankton with potential to be used as live food for juveniles of fishes and to test the inclusion of the biomass of two species of macrophytes Pistia stratiotes and Salvinia minima as an ingredient of fish rations. Analyses were carried out regarding the nutritional characteristics of the macrophytes and their dried biomass was crushed and added at increasing proportions to replace the algae, usedas a foof control. Experiments were carried out to measure individual and population growth rates and the reproductive performance of two species of Cladocera whose diet was supplemented with the weeds. The treatments with the inclusion of the macrophyte P. stratiotes as a food supplement for Daphnia laevis and Moina micrura resulted in similar or superior performance of that in the control, regarding individual and population growth rate, reproductive performance in the treatments where the algal biomass was replaced by 25% and 50% of P. stratiotes. Experiments were conducted with the tilapias where they were fed on diets formulated including percentages of 5, 10, 15 and 20% of the dry crushed biomass of the macrophytes. The greatest weight gain and individual growth was obtained with the diet with inclusion of 15% of the biomass of P. stratitotes, than the diet with 10% of S. minima resulting in lower production costs than that of the control diet. We suggest, therefore, the use of biomass in P.stratiotes with inclusion levels of 10% or 15% in the feed ration in order to ensure both economic and environmental benefits. The weeds that are often used to treat aquaculture effluents have great potential as a food supplement for zooplankton, and also as raw material for the production of fish feed. The use of this biomass is beneficial both as a management strategy of the fish pond and the economy fish cultures, resulting in both economic and environmental benefits
As macrófitas aquáticas, em circunstâncias específicas, podem apresentar um crescimento acelerado a ponto de se tornarem indesejáveis e prejudiciais ao equilíbrio ambiental. Quando isso ocorre, são necessários métodos que permitam um descarte apropriado ou preferivelmente, o aproveitamento econômico das macrófitas. Sendo assim, estudos que desenvolvam estratégias de manejo a fim de promover o aproveitamento da biomassa das macrófitas na alimentação de organismos aquáticos podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de técnicas de controle destas, além de desenvolver estratégias economicamente viáveis que contribuam para o desenvolvimento da aquicultura, diminuindo os custos de produção. O presente trabalho de pesquisa tem como objetivo testar o uso das macrófitas como complemento nutricional na alimentação de organismos zooplanctônicos com potencial de serem utilizados como alimento vivo para peixes que possuem relevância econômica na Piscicultura. Para isso, foram feitas análises das características nutricionais das macrófitas Pistia stratiotes e Salvinia minima. Para as espécies zooplanctônicas, foi utilizada a biomassa seca e triturada de macrófitas em diferentes proporções em substituição às algas, e foram feitas análises do crescimento individual e populacional e do teor de proteínas das espécies de cladóceros cuja alimentação foi suplementada com as macrófitas. Os tratamentos com a inclusão da macrófita Pistia stratiotes como complemento alimentar para Daphnia laevis e Moina micrura resultaram em desempenhos semelhantes ou superiores ao controle para taxa de crescimento, fecundidade, comprimento final e crescimento populacional nos tratamentos em que a biomassa algal foi substituída em 50% e 25% pela biomassa de P. stratiotes. Para os peixes foram realizados experimentos nos quais estes foram alimentados com rações formuladas incluindo porcentagens de 5, 10, 15 e 20% da biomassa seca e triturada das macrófitas. O maior incremento médio de peso e de crescimento individual foi obtido para a ração com inclusão de 15% da biomassa da macrófita Pistia stratitotes, seguida da ração com 10% desta macrófita, que resultaram em custos de produção menores que o da ração controle. Sugere-se, portanto, o aproveitamento da biomassa de P.stratiotes em níveis de inclusão de 10% ou 15% na ração para garantir que tragam ambos, benefícios econômicos e ambientais. As macrófitas que frequentemente se desenvolvem nos tanques de aquicultura possuem grande potencialidade como suplemento alimentar para organismos zooplanctônicos, e também como matéria prima para a confecção de rações de peixes. A utilização desta biomassa é benéfica tanto como estratégia de manejo do tanque de piscicultura como para a economia do processo de criação de peixes, resultando em benefícios tanto econômicos como ambientais.

The selenoamino acid in alkaline solution was first derivatized with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. After removal of excess of reagent by partitioning with diethyl ether, the N-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-derivatized selenoamino acid was acidified and extracted with diethyl ether. Inorganic Se(IV) was extracted from the acidic aqueous phases by complexation with 1,2-phenylenediamine, forming a piazselenol. Se derivatives were determined selectively by HPLC-THG-AAS. A selective chromatographic mechanism based on $ pi$-electron interactions was optimized using a silica stationary phase derivatized with p-nitrophenyl moieties. Co-injections of DNP-SeMet, DNP-SeCystine and piazselenol save retention times of 3.7, 4.0 and 4.9 min, respectively, using a methanolic mobile phase containing 1.5% triethylamine and 0.013M acetic acid. Primary analytical validation parameters including stability, linearity and limits of detection were obtained using purified DNP-SeMet, DNP-SeCystine and piazselenol standards which were characterized by $ sp1$H-, $ sp{13}$C- and $ sp{77}$Se-NMR analysis and/or fast atom bombardment MS techniques. The calibration graphs for sequential dilutions of these Se standards were linear and the limits of detection from the resultant calibration graphs were 17 ng, 0.21 ng and 18.53 ng of Se, respectively. The purified DNP-SeMet and DNP-SeCystine were found to be photosensitive. The recovery of SeMet, SeCystine and inorganic Se from the stock solutions and/or nutritional supplements was virtually quantitative. In the presence of a 500-fold excess of other amino acids, the recovery of SeMet and SeCystine (96.1 $ pm$ 3.9% and 98.08 $ pm$ 4.2%, respec

Full textTräningstillskott inkluderar tillskott av enskilda näringsämnen och prestationshöjande medel och används flitigt i gymvärlden. Tidigare forskning har undersökt vilka faktorer som spelar roll för användning av tillskott, men saknar en djupare insikt om varför dessa mönster uppstår.Syftet var att undersöka avgörande faktorer för användning av träningstillskott bland individer som tränar på gym samt undersöka hur en grupp gymtränande individer använder, uppfattar och ser på träningstillskott. En mixed methods explanatory sequential design användes. Fas 1 bestod av en onlineenkät. Fas 2 utgjordes av sex semistrukturerade intervjuer som undersökte varför träningstillskott används respektive inte används samt förväntningar och uppfattningar gällande träningstillskott bland tränande individer. 85 individer deltog i enkäten. 68 procent använde träningstillskott regelbundet, men inga av de faktorer för användning som identifierats i tidigare forskning kunde bekräftas. Intervjuerna visade att tillskott användes av bekvämlighetsskäl och för att försäkra individen om ett tillräckligt näringsintag, medan icke-användare uttryckte otillräcklig kunskap och uppfattade tillskott som ineffektiva och onödiga. Inga prediktorer för användning av träningstillskott kunde bekräftas, men både användare och icke-användare värderar hälsoansvar högt i sitt beslut gällande användning av träningstillskott. Användare anser tillskott vara effektiva och bekväma komplement och ersättare i kosten. Icke-tillskottsanvändare uppfattar tillskott som onödiga, ineffektiva och mindre njutningsfulla än mat. På grund av ett litet urval behövs fler studier inom området för att få en tydligare bild av hur träningstillskott används av målgruppen.

Full textThis study was conducted to evaluated the effects of growth promoter probiotic and antibiotics on the perfomance and organ morphometry of broiler chickens raised in floor pens and in batteries and the ability of the additive to promote changes in the intestinal ecosystem. Additionally, the effect of probiotics on the presence of coccidia oocysts in the litter was evaluated. The efficacy of antibiotics as growth promoters was observed when the chickens were raised in floor pens but not in batteries. Antibiotic supplementation caused changes in the structure of Bacteria community of the intestinal tract of chicken raised in floor pens or in batteries. The probiotic additives tested did not result in improvement in performance in both environmental or in oocyst incidence in the litter. Also, the probiotic did not have the ability to colonize the intestinal epithelium of the birds. Discrete changes in the structure of Bacteria community were observed when probiotics were supplemented to chickens raised in floor pens or in batteries. Bacteria community structure in the small intestine of chicken was modified as a function of the environmental in which the birds were raised. Chicken fed diets devoid of growth promoters had 15 distinct phylogenetic groups in the microbiota adhered to the intestinal epithelium.

Full textArsenic is a metalloid that occurs naturally in soils and is toxic to living organisms at high concentrations. The arsenic poisoning can occur indirectly (food chain) or directly through drinking water. In humans the chronic exposure to arsenic is linked to cancer, vascular diseases and skin lesions. In countries like Bangladesh the problems related to arsenic poisoning are very dramatic and has become a public health problem. Selenium is an essential micro-nutrient to humans and it is known for its anti-cancer and anti-oxidant properties. This element is present in nature at small amounts and enters the food chain through the plants that uptake it from the soils. Although there are some references to diseases related with selenium poisoning, they are rarely documented and for this reason the effects of selenium toxicity in humans remains unknown. Throughout its evolution, many organisms have developed strategies and mechanisms to excrete heavy metals preventing their adverse effects. In the late 90’s a study with small mammals showed that an enriched diet in selenium had decreased the arsenic toxic effects on mammals exposed to high concentrations of this metalloid. Afterwards the bio-formation of a metabolite that contained in its composition arsenic and selenium was identified. This metabolite was easily excreted by the organism which suggesting the presence of a biological mechanism for the detoxication of metals in mammals. The present work studies the possibility to use selenium as an ecological solution to avoid/diminish the toxicity of arsenic in drinking waters, using food supplements as a selenium source. Techniques were developed with the goal of determining the total amount and speciation of selenium in biological samples and food supplements by HPLC and ET-AAS. For solid-liquid selenium extraction it was used an enzymatic digestion accelerated with ultrasonic energy. This methodology, that has reduced the extraction time from hours to minutes, was firstly reported in 2004 in the Analytical Chemistry journal and since then it has been extensively used by the scientific community. A bibliographic review has been developed in order to establish the state of the art and to enhance the divulgation of this methodology between the scientific community. To study the antagonistic effects of selenium and arsenic in biological systems, freshwater clams (C. fluminea) were exposed during 21 days to different concentrations of these elements. The determination of arsenic and selenium on the clam’s soft tissue (digestive gland and remains body) was performed by ET-AAS. For the identification of proteins by peptide mass fingerprint, a new and fast ultrasonication assisted enzymatic digestion with immobilized trypsin (on magnetic particles and glass beads) method was developed

Full textGiven the impact of the consumption of food supplements in the health and wellness of consumers, the European Commission considered it important to know the marketing/consumption of food supplements, containing vitamins and minerals, in the different Member States. This dissertation appears as a first response to the objective of the Commission, to assess the national market of food supplements with vitamins and minerals in 2012. The study was based on the information given on 579 labels of food supplements containing vitamins and minerals, which were reported to DGAV in 2012, to be recorded and analyzed. The analysis allows us to observe that the marketing of food supplements is not considered of concern in relation to the values of the national population in 2012. The category of health and wellness includes a larger number of supplements and the micronutrients most found is vitamin C and magnesium. We also analyzed case studies and found that supplements have compositions that, associated with a common diet, contribute to an intake above the recommended daily dose, but below the thresholds of toxicity. Only vitamin B6, in the case of "Magnesium-OK", presents values that are more than double the tolerable upper intake level of this vitamin

Full textBACKGROUNO: Methionine (Met), cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and, taurine (Tau) are the 4 sulfur-containing amino acids (SAA), but only Met and Cys are incorporated into proteins. The 3 major products of SAA, glutathione (GSH), Hcy and Tau influence, mainly, inflammatory and of immune responses. Tau and GSH ameliorate inflammation whereas Hcy has the opposite effect. HIV+ patients present low levelis of GSH and other antioxidants nutrients, showing a direct relationship between Cys (and GSH) with CD4+/ cells. How changes in SAA intake influence this phenomenon is unknown and the relationships among Hcy, inflammatory diseases, and in vitro alterations in immune cell behavior create a cautionary note about supplementation of diets with SAA. OBJECTIVE: To investigate SAA pathways in HIV+ patients on fast and Met-overload (Met-DL) states after taken diet habitual without (HD) or with supplements of Cys (NAC) or glutamine (Gln). METHOOS: 12 HIV+ (6M and 6F, 25-36 yrs old) patients under HAART without secondary infections and 20 healthy (10M and 10F, 23-28 yrs old) controls were randomly assigned to either NAC (N-acetylcysteine, 1g/d) or Gln (20g/d) diets, in a 7-day diet crossover design, separated by a 7-day washout (with HD) period. Blood samples were drawn after overnight fast before (MO) and after each dietary treatments (M1) for the resting measurements. Immediately after blood sampling ali subjects started the Met-DL by ingesting at once 100 mg Met/kg BW and having the blood draw after 2 and 4 hours for the area under the curve (AUC) determination. At MO both groups were assessed for anthropometry (BMI, kg/m2), glomerular (plasma urea and creatinina) and hepatocellular (plasma γGT activity) funetions, nutritional (albumin, calcium, folic acid and vitamin B12) and antioxidant (uric acid, GSH, GSSG, Hey) states, glucose, lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol fractions) and SAA, serine (Ser), glyeine (Gly), glutamate (Glu) and Gln. The HIV+ group was characterized also by viral load, CD4+ and CD8+ counts. The statistical comparisons between groups and among diets showed group homogeneity for 8MI, albumin, calcium, vitamin B12, Hey, HDL-cholesterol, urea and creatinine. The patients presented higher values of glucose, triglycerides, γ-GT, LDL-cholesterol, and GSSG along with lower concentrations of uric acid, GSH and all but Hcy amino acids. The Met-OL equalized (Δ values) the groups for Met, Hcy, Tau and Gln. NAC and Gln diets led the HIV+ group to a higher concentrations of GSH (NAC > Gln) by acting differently on its precursors: Gly (Gln > NAC) and Cys (NAC > Gln), resulting similar consumption of Ser and production of Tau. Both diets reduced GSSG/GSH (NAC > Gln) and only NAC increased (6 x) Hey. The later was worsened by Met-OL. Thus HIV+ results in multiple deficiencies of vitamins and amino acids leading to lower levels of GSH and higher GSSG/GSH ration. The main problems of lower formation of Cys and low ineorporation of Cys and Gly into GSH were greatly solved by giving Met, NAC and Gln to the patients, hence remaining the drawback of increasing Hcy with Met or NAC supplements.
