Most protein isolates and concentrates used in food production systems originate from dairy, wheat, and soy; however, additional protein sources, such as oilseeds and pulses, are being researched because of dietary preferences and restrictions such as vegetarianism, food allergies, and halal (Adebiyi...
Both exogenous sources, consumed in dietary sources especially green leafy vegetables alongside endogenous sources as byproducts of amino acid metabolism, provide oxalic acid or oxalates inside the body. A balance between the body’s excretion, exogenous supply, and endogenous sources is required to m...
In addition to their nutritional value, algae increasingly are being marketed as “functional foods” or “nutraceuticals”; these terms have no legal status in many nations but describe foods that contain bioactive compounds, or phytochemicals, that may benefit health beyond the role of basic nutrit...
To examine the issue, the objectives of this study were to use the data from 2–18 year old American children with plausible intake reports in a nationally representative data set and to (1) determine dietary fiber sources in children’s diets, (2) investigate the association between dietary ...
Increased fiber intake has been linked with lower risk of overweight and obesity in adults, but data are sparse for children. To address this issue, NHANES 2003–2006 data was used to evaluate (1) the...
The body storage level of Vitamin B12 is significantly depleted by a persistent vegetarian diet; thus Vitamin B12 deficiency may readily develop in elderly vegetarians. However, Vitamin B12 deficiency may go undetected in vegetarians because their diets are rich in folic acid, which may mask vitamin...
Currently, it is cultivated in subtropical and tropical parts of the world. Its different varieties are classified into three groups named for the geographic region in which they were domesticated: West Indian (P. americana var. americana), Guatemalan (P. americana var. guatemalensis, L.O. ...
