Diets containing foods that are good sources of potassium and low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. The aim of this study was to examine dietary food sources of potassium (K), and the sodium-potassium (Na/K) ratio of foods consumed in the U.S. NHANES, ...
Sources of Utilizable Carbon All food microorganisms are chemoorganotrophs, with the exception of some photosynthetic microalgae – that is, they obtain their carbon and energy by metabolizing organic substrates. These include carbon biopolymers (e.g., starch, pectin), hexose and pentose monosaccharid...
Adaptive solutions for potassium limitation Evidence from crop–soil systems shows that potassium limitation poses a critical challenge in Southeast Asia, impacting crop yields, quality and soil health. Addressing this is vital to closing cereal yield gaps and enhancing food security. ...
Pigment is an important food additive that plays a major role in the sensory impact of food. And natural sources, healthy and non-toxic edible pigments are receiving a lot of attention. Algae is an important s... Authors: Citation: Authors: Citation:20224...
FIGURE 2. Sources of dietary sodium intake among Chinese adults aged ≥20 y, China Health and Nutrition Survey 1991–2015 (n = 92,223). Potassium intake and sources over time Potassium intake was stable over time, 1.7 g/d in 1991 and 1.5 g/d in 2015. The differences among the 3 regi...
Mitigating livestock-related nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions is key for China to meet its 2060 carbon neutrality target. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the magnitude, spatiotemporal variation and drivers of Chinese livestock N2O emissions from
The “grains” group was also the least expensive source of magnesium, while the “fruits” and “vegetables” groups were the least expensive sources of vitamin C and potassium, respectively. The “snacks and sweets” group was the least expensive source of vitamin E. Although the “milk and...
the suggestion that the development of plant-based protein sources is particularly viable in regions where animal agriculture is resource-intensive or economically infeasible is discussed. Embracing these plant-based solutions aligns with the goals of new food development and ecological agriculture, fosterin...
3.2. Comparison of Nutrient Intake among Children and Adolescents with or without Overweight/Obesity There were significant difference of the daily intake of carbohydrates, iron, sodium, potassium, and magnesium among children and adolescents with or without overweight/obesity (F = 3.464, 5.232, 5.619...
The content of the individual amino acids was determined by UFLC using a pre-column derivatization with o-phtaldialdehyde and a fluorimetry procedure for their detection. To analyse the retinol levels, the HM aliquots were treated at ambient temperature with an ethanolic potassium hydroxide solution...
