Background: The functions, food sources, deficiency symptoms, and toxicity symptoms are important for dietetic professionals to know and apply to community, food service, and clinical settings.Purpose: To assess nutrition and dietetic students’ knowledge of vitamins and minerals and identify students’ strategies for learning and retaining vitamin and mineral information.Methodology: Students from three universities in the western United States were invited to participate in cross-sectional study. Participants completed a brief questionnaire that included multiple choice and short answer questions to assess their knowledge of a representative list of 8 vitamins and minerals. The questionnaire also included free-response questions about strategies for retention of vitamin/mineral information. Two researchers independently reviewed responses and identified themes.Results: Students’ scores on multiple-choice vitamin/mineral questions suggested that they had difficulty remembering details regarding vitamins and minerals. Three themes were identified as common study strategies for learning vitamin and mineral content: repetition, mnemonic devices, and personal application.Conclusions: These findings suggest that further research assessing the increased use of repetition, mnemonic devices, and especially personal application in dietetics education curriculum are warranted.

Full textAbstract:
Crossbred boars (35 days of age) were assigned in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement to dietary energy (ad libitum and 75% of ad libitum) and mineral-vitamin (100 and 150% of National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC 1979) recommendation) intakes to determine the effects on metacarpal and metatarsal dimensional and mechanical characteristics and chemical composition. The third and fourth metacarpal and metatarsal were removed from boars necropsied at 15-day intervals from 85 to 295 days on test. Bone weight, length, shaft diameter and wall thickness increased with age, while bone ether extract decreased and ash content increased. As age increased, percentage Ca content of bone ash increased, P content remained unchanged and Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn content decreased. At an equal age, bone weight, length, shaft diameters and mechanical characteristics were greater for ad libitum-fed boars; however, weight-correction produced trends in favor of the limit-fed boars. Although mineral-vitamin level had no effect on the weight, length or diameter of bones, the 150% NAS-NRC mineral-vitamin level increased bone wall thickness and bone mechanical properties, with these effects more prominent in the metatarsals than the metacarpals. Metatarsals were heavier and longer than metacarpals. Percentage of ether extract was higher for ad libitum-fed boars. The 150% NAS-NRC mineral-vitamin level increased percentage bone ash and bone ash Ca level, while dietary energy or mineral-vitamin levels failed to affect content of any of the other bone ash minerals examined. The results of this study indicate that changes in bone characteristics resulting from ad libitum feeding are due to a larger body size at a given age, while higher values for mechanical characteristics can be obtained by elevation of dietary mineral-vitamin levels.

Cereals, as the world’s most consumed food, face challenges related to nutrient quality due to climate change and increased production impacting soil health. In this study, we investigated the vitamin and mineral content, polyphenols, and antioxidant activity in cereals from Western Romania, analyzing whole and hulled wheat, rye, oat, and soybeans before and after heat treatment. Samples from 2022 crops were processed into dough and subjected to 220 °C for 30 min. The results reveal that, despite efforts to optimize nutrient content, cereals, particularly after heat processing, exhibited lower vitamin and mineral levels than the recommended daily intake. The decrease in polyphenols and antioxidant capacity was notable, with rye flour experiencing the largest decline (15%). Mineral analysis showed copper levels in decorticated wheat decreased by 82.5%, while iron in rye decreased by 5.63%. Soy flour consistently displayed the highest calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels, whereas oat flour had the highest zinc and copper levels before and after heat processing. The study highlights the concerningly low vitamins and minerals contents in cereals, as well as in the final products reaching consumers in the Western part of Romania, and contributes to the assessment of measures that are meant to improve the contents of these minerals.

Lamb is important in providing balanced and healthy nutrition as a source of protein, fat, and essential micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B complex. The mineral and vitamin content of meat from local breeds needs to be evaluated as a portrait of the genetic quality data of sheep and as a reference for developing sheep that produce healthy and high-quality meat. This study aimed to analyze the mineral and vitamin B contents of Sapudi sheep and Merino cross sheep meat from the longissimus dorsi area to invent genetic quality data for the meat of these two sheep. Three Sapudi and three Merino cross sheep were kept under similar conditions for two months. Meat collection from the longissimus dorsi muscle was carried out to analyze vitamin B and mineral content. A t-test was then performed to determine meat quality. The results showed that the mineral content of Mn and Cu in Sapudi sheep meat was lower than that in Merino cross meat. The vitamin B2 content in Sapudi sheep (0.11 mg/100 g) is lower than that of Merino cross (0.20 mg/100 g). In comparison, the vitamin B3 content of Sapudi sheep meat was higher (0.51 mg/100 g) than Cross-merino (0.40 mg/100 g). This research concludes that breeding influences nutrient content, and Merino crossbreed sheep are superior to Sapudi sheep in terms of vitamin B and mineral content.

This study compared the effect of an organic proteinate mineral source and an inorganic sulphate mineral source in relation to their effect on the stability of retinol acetate and cholecalciferol within simulated premixes, while comparing the stability of two different selenomethionine (SeMet) sources (selenium enriched yeast (SeYeast) and the chemically synthesised L-SeMet) in the presence of inorganic sulphate mineral sources within simulated premixes. Four vitamin-trace mineral premixes, two containing organic trace mineral sources in the form of proteinates and two containing inorganic trace mineral sources in the form of sulphates, were formulated so that, when added to a complete broiler feed at the appropriate inclusion rates, they contained the same amount of retinol acetate and cholecalciferol and varying levels of trace minerals (National Research Council recommended level, commonly used industry level or a reduced inclusion level). The two SeMet-trace mineral premixes were formulated to contain commonly used industry levels of vitamins and trace minerals. The two SeMet-trace mineral premixes differed in the source of SeMet. One premix contained chemically synthesised L-SeMet while the other contained SeYeast. The vitamin content of the four vitamin-trace mineral premixes was analysed after 14 and 84 days in storage by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and the amount present within each of the premixes was compared to the quantity determined prior to storage. In general, the premixes formulated with the sulphate trace mineral source were found to have higher losses of retinol acetate and cholecalciferol than those formulated with the proteinate trace mineral source. The inclusion of the proteinate minerals at both National Research Council and reduced inclusion levels significantly (P≤0.05) increased the stability of both the vitamins when compared to the inorganic sulphate mineral sources included at commonly used industry levels. The SeMet content of the two SeMet-trace mineral premixes was analysed after 49 days in storage by high performance liquid chromatography – inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and the amount of SeMet present within each of the samples was compared to the quantity determined prior to storage. SeMet present within the SeYeast was found to be significantly more stable (P≤0.05) than the chemically synthesised L-SeMet.

Full textAbstract:
Part I of this series showed significant influence of fertilizer on the growth and yield of tigernut. This paper documents the effects of these complementary fertilizers on the nutritional quality of the crop. Thus, the effects of seven fertilizer treatments on the nutritional quality of tigernut were studied. Proximate, mineral, vitamins and phytochemical contents of tigernut were evaluated across the fertilizer treatments. Most of the mineral contents were significantly (p < 0.05) influenced by the fertilizer combination except for magnesium (suggesting non-responsiveness of this mineral to fertilizer treatment). On the proximate contents, ash and moisture were statistically similar while other components varied significantly. The effect of fertilizer treatment on the vitamin content was only significant on vitamins B6 and C while for the phytochemical content, only phytates and tannin were significantly (p < 0.05) influenced by fertilizer. It was conclusive that combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer increased the carbohydrate, fibre, vitamin C, tannin and most of the mineral contents of tigernut tubers. Findings reported herewith therefore validate the application of complementary fertilizer treatment for growing tigernut in this region because of enhanced nutritional quality of the tigernut seeds.

Introduction: Nutrient-fortified food play a crucial role in addressing nutritional deficiencies among infants and children, making them more appealing for consumption. Research focuses on baby foods, particularly reconstituted juice drink, which serve as significant sources of essential minerals and vitamins. However, the nutrient composition of these products varies, leading to differences in quality. The objective of this study is to assess the disparities in the nutritional content of various children's juice drink available in the Nigerian market. Methods: Proximate analysis was carried out according to the standard procedure of Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) to evaluate the nutritional composition of the selected juice drink. Minerals content were determined using Atomic Absorption and Flame Spectroscopy Techniques. The determination of the Vitamin A content in the samples was conducted following a modified Spectrophotometric Method. For Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), the Vitamin C content in the samples was assessed utilizing a Spectrometric Method coupled with 2,4 Dinitrophenyl hydrazine (DNPH) procedures. Results: Examination of the proximate and mineral analyses of ten chosen fruit juice brands revealed notable variations. Capri sonne exhibited the highest moisture content at 94.2%, while Hollandia Yogurt has the lowest at 81.3%. Chapman, Nutri Milk, and Viju Apple Flavor Milk shared the highest ash content at 0.5%, whereas Hollandia Malt, Piko Orange, and Piko Strawberry displayed the lowest at 0.01%. Nestle Malt boasted the highest crude protein concentration at 4.38%, with Capri sonne recorded the lowest at 0.18%. Hollandia Yogurt and Hollandia Malt demonstrated the highest crude fiber content, while Vitavite Multivi, Piko Orange, and Piko Strawberry showed the lowest. Regarding total carbohydrates, Hollandia Yogurt topped the list at 14.6%, while Vitavite Multivi ranked lowest at 6.57%. Nestle Millo contained the highest vitamin C content at 25.7%, whereas Piko Strawberry has the lowest at 3.82%. Caprosonne registered the highest vitamin A content at 0.6%. In terms of mineral analysis, Hollandia Yogurt exhibited the highest sodium percentage at 22.6mg/g, while Nestle led in calcium, iron, and magnesium content at 120.4mg/g, 1.7mg/g, and 25.5mg/g, respectively. It can therefore be inferred from the outcome of this study that, Milo Nestle is the best drink for children due to its higher protein, carbohydrate, vitamins (A and C) and minerals (Ca, Mg, Fe, Na) contents, followed by Hollandia Malt as compared to other juice studied.

Aqueous leaf extracts of Commelina diffusa was evaluated for food value. The results show that the proximate and vitamin compositions of Commelina. Diffusa included mainly moisture (83.36%), carbohydrate (6.32%), vitamin C (44.80 mg/100g dry weight), vitamin B3 (63.18mg/100g) and vitamin B2 (8.30 mg/100g) respectively. The mineral contents of the defatted leaf extracts were found to be Na (69.32mg/100g), Ca (232.00mg/100g) and Mg (84.28mg/100g). The proximate, vitamin and mineral compositions obtained suggest that the leaves, as cheap sources of vitamins C, B3 and B2, as well as other macro-and micronutrients, can be incorporated into human and animal diet to meet their recommended daily allowances. The content of flavonoids and vitamin C in the leaf extracts also suggests possible anti-oxidant effects of these leafy vegetables.

The article presents the basic information about the deficient concentrations of vitamins and minerals in the existing diets of patients in medical and preventive treatment facilities. The analysis of the current therapeutic diets showed deviations in vitamins A, B1, B2, PP, and C, as well as in macro- and microelements: Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, I, P, and Fe. When conducting studies of the state of the body in patients of health care facilities, a deficiency of vitamin D, B vitamins, and carotenoids, and in some categories of patients, a deficiency of antioxidant vitamins A and E, is found. This deficiency is aggravated against the background of drug therapy. In order to compensate for the deficient states of the body, it is recommended to enrich the therapeutic diet with a vitamin and mineral complex at a concentration of 50-100% of the daily norm of vitamins and minerals. The diet was enriched with GS-3093 premixes. The discrepancies between the content of the vitamin and mineral complex in the existing diet and the recommended, enriched with GS- 3093 premix, for four especially deficient minerals and the studied vitamins A and group B range from -0.59 to -675.215 mg. The defi ciency of vitamins A (37%), B2 (14%), and C (52%), minerals Ca (26%), Zn (21%), and I (65%) compared to the recommended daily intake should be noted. With a five-time meal, the calorie content of the diet according to the therapeutic diet is from 2500 to 3000 kcal and includes 1.5–2 liters of fluid per day. This will ensure compliance with the requirements for conducting evidence-based dietary nutrition for 800 patients of the health care facility of the SBHI Moscow Regional Clinical Research Institute named after M.F.

The growing interest in functional foods is driven by the exploration of new foods with positive health effects. Pleasant sensory features are essential for consumer acceptance. In this work, we investigated the composition of the bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, and aroma profiles of four edible flowers: Cucurbita moschata Duchesne, Dianthus chinensis L., Fuchsia regia (Vand. ex Vell.) Munz., and Viola cornuta L. For the first time, we quantified the water-soluble group of B vitamins. Significant variations in the content of soluble sugars, vitamins, and secondary metabolites were observed. V. cornuta showed the highest concentration of vitamin C and carotenoids, while C. moschata had the highest content of vitamin B and flavonoids. F. regia stood out for its exceptionally high content of total phenolics, while D. chinensis surpassed the other flowers in soluble sugar content. The aroma profile analysis revealed a diverse array of volatile organic compounds, with each species having its own unique composition. C. moschata was characterized by p-dimethoxybenzene and D. chinensis by non-terpene compounds; F. regia displayed high amounts of decanal and nonanal, while V. cornuta was rich in myrcene and α-farnesene. These findings provide valuable insights into the secondary metabolites and aroma profiles of these flowers, enhancing our understanding of their bioactive compounds and potential health benefits.

The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is the most cultivated mushroom which its growth performance and nutritional composition depend on substrate types. Thus, this study investigated the effect of coconut coir on minerals and vitamins B contents in the oyster mushroom cultivation medium. The composition of coconut coir and Sengon’s sawdust as growth medium were variated at ratios of 4:0 (F1), 3:1 (F2), 2:2 (F3), 1:3 (F4), 0:4 (F5) (w/w). Furthermore, the mineral and vitamin B contents of the harvested oyster mushrooms were analyzed by ICPMS and LCMS, respectively. The highest minerals contents of potassium 26,909 mg/kg, 1,136 mg/kg of phosphorus, 313 mg/kg of magnesium, 4,346 mg/kg of calcium, 15.4 mg/kg for zinc, 2.07 mg/kg of copper, 0.623 mg/kg of Selenium were identified at F1, whereas the highest manganese was at F2 (15.3 mg/kg). Potassium was the highest mineral content in oyster mushrooms in all growth media, and low toxic minerals content of cadmium was detected between 0.015-0.058 mg/kg in all variant substrates. Lead (0.525 mg/kg) and mercury (0.012 mg/kg) was only detected at F1, while arsenic was detected at F4 (0.002 mg/kg) and F5 (0.029 mg/kg). LCMS analysis showed that vitamin B1 (Thiamine), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine) and B12 (cyanocobalamin) were detected in all growth media, while vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) was only detected at F5. These results indicated that the P. ostreatus cultivation on coconut coir become valuable nutritional resources to alleviate malnutrition and help dispose of coconut coir in an environment-friendly manner.

ABSTRACTBackground:Although the short‐term benefits of mineral supplementation in preterm infants has been established, the long‐term benefits are less clear. The purpose of the study was to evaluate effects of early‐life mineral, vitamin D, and breast milk intake on bone mineral status in children 9 to 11 years of age who were born prematurely.Methods:Seventy preterm infants born 1985 through 1987 were randomized into four groups: to receive a vitamin D dose of 500 or 1000 IU/day and calcium‐ and phosphorus‐supplemented or unsupplemented breast milk. At 3 months of age, radial bone mineral content was determined by single‐photon absorptiometry and vitamin D metabolites were assessed. At 9 to 11 years of age, the bone mineral status of the radius and lumbar spine was assessed using dual energy x‐ray absorptiometry.Results:At the age of 3 months, the preterm infants with diets supplemented with minerals had 36% higher bone mineral content than the preterm infants whose diet was not supplemented with minerals. At the age of 9 to 11 years, in contrast, bone mineral status was comparable among the groups, irrespective of different mineral supplementation during the neonatal period. Interestingly, the lumbar bone mineral apparent density was positively related to lactation in mineral‐supplemented children. There was neither short‐term nor long‐term benefit to bone mineral status of a vitamin D dose of 1000 IU/day compared with 500 IU/day.Conclusions:The short‐term benefit to bone mineral density in preterm infants of mineral supplementation of the early diet is obvious, but, in the long term, the effects seem to disappear. The results also imply that a relatively long period of breast‐feeding may be needed to optimize long‐term bone mineral acquisition in the lumbar spine.

The present study evaluated the nutritional characteristics of Tapioca- a partially gelatinized starch grit made from cassava supplemented with fermented and germinated moringa seed flour. The proximate composition, mineral, vitamin, amino acid profile, functional properties and sensory attributes of the tapioca-moringa flour blends were determined. It was observed that the protein content of the flour blends increased from 2.85% − 11.05%, fat (2.42% − 8.08%) while there was reduction in carbohydrate content (82.66% − 64.90%). Calcium (6.24 mg/100 g − 8.26 mg/100 g) was the predominant mineral while copper (0.05 mg/100 g − 0.11 mg/100 g ) was the least. There was increase in vitamin A content (0.35 mg/100 g − 9.41 mg/100 g ) and vitamin C content (0.46 mg/100 g − 12.00 mg/100 g ) on supplementation of fermented and germinated moringa seed flour to tapioca flour. Total essential amino acid of the flour blends ranged from 14.15 mg/100 g − 30.42 mg/100 g . Sensory results showed that the gruel made from tapioca-moringa seed flour were scored above average for overall acceptability. Findings from this study showed that tapioca-moringa blends contain appreciable amount of protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and amino acids and thus the flour blends could serve to alleviate malnutrition in developing countries.

Further increase in the productivity of agricultural animals and poultry is based on the use of compound feed balanced in terms of nutrients, vitamin, amino acid and mineral composition that meet zootechnical requirements. Protein-vitamin and mineral-feed additives play a special role in the production of complete feed, the lack of which in the feed ration leads to a significant disruption of metabolic processes in the body of farm animals and poultry. Production of balanced feeds allows to increase efficiency the use of compound feed when fattening consumers, therefore the main task of the development of feed production is to solve problems related to the filling of vital substances in the composition of compound feed produced. The basis for increasing the productivity of animal husbandry is related to the use of compound feed, which is balanced in terms of vitamin, mineral, amino acid and other constituent components that are necessary in the composition of the produced products. Protein-vitamin and mineral-feed additives play a special role in the production of complete feed, the lack of which in the feed ration leads to a significant disruption of metabolic processes in the body of farm animals and poultry.

Full textAbstract:
Bittern water is a byproduct of the crystallization process from the manufacture of salt which have high concentrations of magnesium, calcium, potassium and other trace minerals Bittern water is known to treat osteoporosis, postprandial hyperlipidemia, oral infections and increase salivary secretion. The mineral content in bittern water is not only beneficial for humans but also for animal health. Cows are one of the animals that are prone to various health problems such as mineral balance and metabolism disorders in the body, especially during pregnancy and after giving birth. In addition to minerals, vitamin B complex is often used to improve the health quality of cows. However, until now, the use of bittern water and the combination with vitamin B complex for animal treatment is still very rare. The formulation of multivitamin-mineral preparations is quite complex to do so that there are several things that need to be considered in order to obtain a good and quality formula. This review article was created to gather information regarding the benefits of the mineral content contained in bittern water and vitamin B complex as a treatment to treat various health problems for cattle, as well as what important factors should be considered in multivitamin-mineral preparations. Based on literature search, it was found that the combination of bittern water and vitamin B complex has the potential to overcome health problems in cows, where the main minerals in bittern water are proven to improve magnesium status in the blood, increase calcium intake and reduce the incidence of milk fever, increase milk production and components, and improve immune status. While vitamin B complex is widely used as a supplement to increase metabolism, energy status in cows balances rumen pH, maintains microbiota balance in riumen and helps increase milk production. The combination of bittern water and vitamin B complex can synergistically improve mineral status, energy, and immune response, as well as improve disease symptoms. There are also important factors that must be considered in multivitamin-mineral dosage formulations for animals, namely bioavailability, stability, and dosage form.

Full textAbstract:
Leaf extract of Cydonia Oblonga Mill. is interesting for further exploration of the potential of its substrates for therapeutic supplements. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted on samples of green (October), yellow (November), and brown (December) quince leaves collected in the region of Pinhel, Portugal. Mineral analysis determined the measurements of the levels of several macro- and micro-elements. Organic analysis assessed the moisture content, total phenolic content (TPC), vitamin E, and fatty acid (FA) profiles. Mineral analysis was based on ICP-MS techniques, while the profiles of vitamin E and FA relied on HPLC-DAD-FLD and GC-FID techniques, respectively. Moisture content was determined through infrared hygrometry and TPC was determined by spectrophotometric methods. Regarding the mineral content, calcium, magnesium, and iron were the most abundant minerals. Concerning organic analysis, all leaf samples showed similar moisture content, while the TPC of gallic acid equivalents (GAE) and total vitamin E content, the most predominant of which was the α-tocopherol isomer, showed significant variations between green-brown and yellow leaves. FA composition in all leaf samples exhibited higher contents of SFA and PUFA than MUFA, with a predominance of palmitic and linolenic acids. Organic and inorganic analysis of quince leaves allow for the prediction of adequate physiological properties, mainly cardiovascular, pulmonary, and immunological defenses, which with our preliminary in silico studies suggest an excellent supplement to complementary therapy, including drastic pandemic situations.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the content of vitamins and of toxic and beneficial (macro- and micro-) minerals in milk from yaks raised at different altitudes (3,215, 4,340, and 5,410 m) was investigated. For comparison, the components in cow’s milk were also measured. At higher altitudes, a significant ( P < 0.05 ) increase in vitamin A and vitamin E was observed in the yak’s milk, whereas the opposite was observed for vitamin B1 and vitamin B2. No significant statistical difference in vitamin C, Ca, P, Na, K, and Mg concentrations was observed in milk from yaks raised at different altitudes. The concentrations of Zn in milk from yaks raised at different altitudes showed no statistical difference, whereas the Mn and Fe concentrations in milk from yaks raised at 3,215 m were lower than those raised at higher altitudes. The concentrations of Pb and Cd in yak’s milk did not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations (Codex Alimentarius Commission), whereas their concentrations were higher in milk from yaks raised at 3,215 m than at higher altitudes. These findings indicated that the contents of vitamins and minerals in yak milk varied in different altitudes.

This study focused on immunonutrition which is referring to boosting immune system response through diet. In this study, the effect ofthe blending ratio of millet and guinea corn on their nutritional value was investigated for vitamin K, vitamin D, and Zinc mineralswhich are considered to help bolster immunity and their relevance in the fight against covid-19.The proximate analysis result showed that guinea corn has a higher value of ash, carbohydrate, and crude protein contents whilemillet on the other hand has a higher moisture content, calorific value, crude lipids, and crude fiber contents as compared to that of guinea corn. Using Design Expert for experimental design, a mixture DOptimal design was employed. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the yield of vitamin K and D, and Zinc mineral were statistically significant at “prob ˃ F” less than 0.05. Optimization of the analysis revealed that a blend in the ratio of 55.2 to 44.8 would be the best blend that maximizes vitamin K, D, and Zinc minerals with desirability of 65.1 %. Although cereals are not a significant source of vitamin K and D the blends from the study, if processed into food, would be able to provide an additional quantity of the vitamins and minerals needed to boost our immune system.

Vegetables are becoming increasingly valued as products for the domestic market and export because they have a great potential to improve nutrition and therefore consumers' health. Vegetables are an exceptional source of minerals, proteins, bioactive compounds, and vitamins, all of which are necessary for the proper functioning and development of the human body. Kale has become very well known for its rich nutrient content, for the benefits it brings to health, and last but not least for its excellent taste. This work aims to evaluate the nutritional profile of kale, as well as to highlight its health benefits. Kale is known as the vegetable with the highest vitamin K content, a vitamin essential for skin health, eyes, and mucous membranes, it is anti-cancer, and diabetes and has antiinflammatory action. All varieties of Kale have a high content of calcium, iron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, manganese, and copper. They have more vitamin C than oranges, having the capacity to maintain a strong immune system. The high fiber content accelerates intestinal transit and supports the detoxification of the body. Due to the high content of antioxidants, and the presence of over 45 flavonoids; kale is a real anti-cancer food, it lowers cholesterol and improves blood circulation. Regarding the low-calorie trend in diets, it contains fewer calories being a perfect food for losing weight.

Full textAbstract:
Long-term consumption of school meals contributes to the formation of a defi ciency of a number of biologically active substances and necessitates the need to enrich products for school diets with vitamins and minerals. Existing commercial forms of vitamins are considered. Despite their diversity, the use of each form of vitamins has a number of restrictions. An option to increase vitamin intake among schoolchildren could be the development and introduction of fortifi ed products into the menu. Based on the study of the role of vitamins in the human body and the comparison of the vitamin and mineral composition of nuts, vitamins for fortifi cation were selected in the amount of daily intake for children per bar (at the lower limit, %): vitamin C in the amount of 90 mg and vitamin A in the amount of 400 mcg (ret eq) per bar. Based on the conducted research, the choice of the main ingredients and vitamins C and A for fortification, as well as the calorie content of the fruit and nut bar were justified.

Full textAbstract:
(1) Background: The aim of this research is to study the importance of improving knowledge of old variety apples in terms of phytochemicals, antioxidant capacity and mineral elements. (2) Methods: Fifteen phenolic compounds (UHPLC-MS/MS techniques), eight mineral elements (Ca, K, Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, Na and Mg), antioxidant capacity (DPPH%) and vitamin C content in four ancient apple varieties of Tuscany (‘Mora’, ‘Nesta’, ‘Panaia’ and ‘Ruggina’), with the ‘Golden Delicious’ cultivar as reference, were analyzed. (3) Results: Ancient cultivars exhibited a superior antioxidant capacity compared to commercial cultivars. ECTC and CGA were the polyphenols that mostly characterized the ancient apples. The contents of the elements of concern, Zn and Mn, were higher in the ancient cultivars ‘Panaia’ and ‘Ruggina’, while Na showed significant low concentration in ‘Nesta’, ‘Panaia’ and ‘Ruggina’ compared to ‘Golden Delicious’. The vitamin C content also indicated that ‘Mora’, ‘Panaia’ and ‘Ruggina’ old variety had an AsA content around 10 times higher than the ‘Golden Delicious’ apple. (4) Conclusions: Underutilized varieties could be an excellent source of bioactive phenolic phytochemicals, mineral nutrients and vitamins that may offer special nutraceutical benefits compared to other fruits.

Full textAbstract:
In adult bone, vitamin K contributes to bone health, probably through its role as co-factor in the carboxylation of osteocalcin. In children, the significance of vitamin K in bone-mass acquisition is less well known. The objective of this longitudinal study was to determine whether biochemical indicators of vitamin K status are related to (gains in) bone mineral content (BMC) and markers of bone metabolism in peripubertal children. In 307 healthy children (mean age 11·2 years), BMC of the total body, lumbar spine and femoral neck was determined at baseline and 2 years later. Vitamin K status (ratio of undercarboxylated (ucOC) to carboxylated (cOC) fractions of osteocalcin; UCR) was also measured at both time points. Markers of bone metabolism, sex steroids, vitamin D status and growth hormones were measured at baseline only. Large variations in the levels of the UCR were found at both time-points, indicating a substantial interindividual difference in vitamin K status. Improvement of vitamin K status over 2 years (n281 children) was associated with a marked increase in total body BMC (r− 49·1,P < 0·001). The UCR was associated with pubertal stage, markers of bone metabolism, sex hormones and vitamin D status. A better vitamin K status was associated with more pronounced increase in bone mass in healthy peripubertal children. In order to determine the significance of these findings for childhood bone health, additional paediatric studies are needed.

The present study evaluated the nutritional characteristics of Tapioca- a partially gelatinized starch grit made from cassava supplemented with fermented and germinated moringa seed flour. The proximate composition, mineral, vitamin, amino acid profile, functional properties and sensory attributes of the tapioca-moringa flour blends were determined. It was observed that the protein content of the flour blends increased from 2.85% − 11.05%, fat (2.42% − 8.08%) while there was reduction in carbohydrate content (82.66% − 64.90%). Calcium (6.24 mg/100 g − 8.26 mg/100 g) was the predominant mineral while copper (0.05 mg/100 g − 0.11 mg/100 g ) was the least. There was increase in vitamin A content (0.35 mg/100 g − 9.41 mg/100 g ) and vitamin C content (0.46 mg/100 g − 12.00 mg/100 g ) on supplementation of fermented and germinated moringa seed flour to tapioca flour. Total essential amino acid of the flour blends ranged from 14.15 mg/100 g − 30.42 mg/100 g . Sensory results showed that the gruel made from tapioca-moringa seed flour were scored above average for overall acceptability. Findings from this study showed that tapioca-moringa blends contain appreciable amount of protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and amino acids and thus the flour blends could serve to alleviate malnutrition in developing countries.

Full textAbstract:
The chemical analyses of bush mango (Irvingia wombulu) was conducted in order to identify the bioactive content, proximate composition as well as to establish the vitamin composition in bush mango production. The extraction processes were carried out with the aid of different solvents and techniques. The analyses was conducted with aqueous extract of the milled seed of Irvingia wombulu which found the bioactive components present in form of tannins, saponin, flavonoids, steroid, protiens, anthraquinnones, protein, reducing sugar, cardiac glycoside, terpenopid, phenolic compounds and alkaloids. Flavonoid, cardiac glycoside andalkaloids were moderately present (+) while tannis, saponins, steroids, protein and reducing sugar were heavily present(++). Further, the results from the analyses displayed the proximate composition in Irvingia wombulu leaves, peels, seeds and seed coats samples. The moisture contents in seeds, leaves, peels and seed coats of Irvingia wombulu were 1.4±0.41%, 22.2±0.11%, 38.7±0.01%, and 57.6±0.90% respectively. The test found that the mineral contents of Irvingia wombulu in the seed coats had the highest concentration of iron (0.395±0.00 mg/kg) and 0.040±0.02mg/kg was found in the seed. The trend in the level of concentration of sodium in I. wombulu revealed that leaves has more sodium than seeds and seeds more than seed coats, peels is the least. For calcium, the analyses revealed that the level of concentration in the seed coats had higher mineral content of 4.992±0.01 mg/kg as compared to the lower level of concentration in the seeds at 3.278±0.01 mg/kg. The analyses further showed vitamin B2 composition known riboflavin as one of the 8 -B vitamins. The value of vitamin B2 was high in Irvingia wombolu at 0.17mg/100g with vitamin B6 content having 0.14gm/100g. The production of these chemical components would contribute to health benefits of the rural dwellers. The high bioactive content potential and the presence of proximates, mineral content, vitamins produced at different levels in bush mango (Irvingia wombulu) should be utilized to develop drugs and supplements for its ethno-medicinal benefits and to generate internal revenue for the FRIN biomedical department.

The diet of the majority of the population of Russia is characterized by an insufficient content of a number of micronutrients, including macro- and micronutrients. The aim of the study is to characterize in a rat model experiment the effect of combined nutritional deficiency of calcium, magnesium and iodine on the availability of other mineral substances, vitamin metabolism and biochemical parameters blood plasma. The lack of minerals in growing Wistar male rats with an initial body weight (51.4 ± 0.5) g was created for 23 days by halving of a calcium, magnesium and iodine in the salt mixture. Alimentary deficiency of calcium, magnesium and iodine in growing rats significantly and multidirectionally affected the metabolism of other minerals and vitamins, as well as a number of diagnostically significant indicators of blood and urine. In rats of the experimental group, the liver concentration of α-tocopherol, vitamin B1 and retinol palmitate decreased, the concentration of iron and zinc increased, the copper content in the whole brain decreased significantly. The molar ratio of γ- and α-tocopherols in blood plasma was increased, the concentration of the circulating form of vitamin D decreased. The ratio of AlAT / AsAT (de Ritis coefficient) markedly decreased due to increased activity of AlAT. Phosphate reabsorption decreased slightly. Increased urinary excretion of riboflavin was accompanied by a decrease in its concentration in blood plasma. The conclusion that insufficient intake of calcium, magnesium and iodine may disturb vitamin-mineral status of organism has been made.

The present study explored the nutritional composition, phytochemicals analysis, and antioxidant capacity of two indigenous varieties of red and green water chestnut (WCN) fruit grown in Pakistan. Accordingly, this study was designed to investigate the proximate composition (moisture, ash, fiber, proteins, fat, and energy), physicochemical properties (pH, °Brix, and glycemic index), minerals, and vitamins. The methanolic extracts of WCN fruits were explored for phytochemicals (total phenolic and flavonoid content), and antioxidant potential was examined in vitro by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity (DPPH) and Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Quantitative determination of mineral (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, and zinc) and vitamin (vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin A, and β-Carotene) composition was also assessed. Based on the findings, the proximate compositions of WCN green and red varieties varied greatly as WCN green contained significantly higher protein (1.72%), fat (0.65%), dietary fiber (2.21%), moisture (70.23%), ash (1.16%), and energy content (112.8 Kcal) than WCN red. In WCN green, the macro–micromineral concentrations were significantly higher than WCN red. Among the minerals analyzed, potassium was the most abundant mineral found in both varieties. Levels of vitamin C, B6, A, and β-Carotene were significantly higher in WCN green. In this study, methanolic extract showed higher extraction efficiency than acetone, ethanol, and distilled water. WCN green had a significantly higher quantum of total phenolic (91.13 mg GAE/g) and total flavonoid (36.6 mg QE/g) and presented significantly higher antioxidant activity than the WCN red. This study showed that, among both varieties, WCN green extract has therapeutic potential against free radical mediated health conditions and suggested the potential use of this fruit as a source of natural antioxidants in nutraceuticals.
