Abstract

The aim of all dietary surveys is to discover what the persons under investigations are in habit of eating. They could be used to collect data on a single individual and on several hundred of individuals. There are two types of methods used: --evaluation of global consumption, --precise dietary studies. Additional studies research conscious and unconscious factors of dietary consumption. Whatever the aim, dietary patterns are used to trace trends both retrospectively and prospectively. But the nutritionist must be aware of limitations of the methods and be constantly improving them. It is imperative, therefore, that critical evolution be made at every stage of the procedure. The interest of those studies is to identify the current nutrient intake of a group or an individual likewise during a longer period, so that we can define the evoluation and perhaps the reason behind them. In epidemiological work, they are a part of the whole given data. They could permit the evaluation of correlation with clinical or biological parameters or with a particular disease.

Potentials of biodegraded cashew pomace for cake baking.

The use of biodegraded cashew pomace processed into flour for cake baking was investigated. The physico-chemical changes during the submerged fermentation of the pomace and the organoleptic qualities of the composite cake were also monitored. There was an increase of about 50% in protein content of the pomace after 96 h of fermentation. However, a reduction of about 61% in the total microbial count after 24 h was due to the toxic effect of the organic acids on the microbial cells during fermentation. The cashew flour had high crude fibre (ca. 20-33%) and carbohydrate (ca. 16-47%) values. The composite cake made from a 10:90 combination of 96 h-degraded cashew flour/wheat flour respectively was the most accepted. The cake which had a specific volume of 0.53 ml/g lost 11.1% moisture when 38 g of its batter was exposed to 190 degrees C for 10 minutes. This cake had a calorie value of 293.8/100 g and may be useful in feeding diabetic patients who require low carbohydrate foods.

Physiology and pathophysiology of intestinal absorption.

Final digestion and absorption of carbohydrates (CHO) occur after intraluminal hydrolysis by pancreatic alpha-amylase at the surface of the mucosal membrane in close relationship between disaccharide hydrolysis and the glucalogue carrier system. In general, Na(+)-dependent transport is the rate-limiting step of CHO absorption. The rate of absorption is determined by mode of ingestion, chemical composition of the meal, gastric emptying, pancreatic digestion, intestinal digestion and absorption, and intestinal motility. A delay of absorption of CHO may be achieved by dietary fibers, alpha-amylase inhibitors, or alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Final protein digestion is achieved by a dual mechanism: intact peptide absorption with subsequent intracellular hydrolysis to free amino acids (AA) and membrane hydrolysis of peptides followed by absorption of free AA. More complex is the mechanism of lipid absorption: emulsification, lipolysis, micellar formation, membrane translocation, intracellular resynthesis, chylomicron formation, and lymphatic drainage. The most critical steps in lipid digestion are lipolysis and micellar formation.
