“…and these are often referred to as the trace elements. The new legislation based upon the new EU Food Supplements Directive lists fifteen minerals (Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Fluoride, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Potassium, Selenium, Zinc, Chloride, Phosphorus, and Sodium) that may be used in food supplements 6 .…”

In the present paper the ability of calibration free laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF-LIBS) as a quality control tool to monitor the composition of different minerals present in food supplement samples belonging to Indian brands (brand-A and brand-B) has been demonstrated. LIBS spectra of these two food supplements (brand-A and brand-B) available in the form of tablet have been recorded. As reported by manufacturers of these two food supplements, LIBS spectra of brand-A contains the spectral signatures of minerals like Ca, Mg, C, P, Zn, Fe, Cu, and Cr whereas LIBS spectra of brand-B shows the presence of spectral lines like Ca, Mg and C. The spectral signatures of Na and K are also found in both brands whereas spectral signature of Ti is observed only in brand-B but these elements are not mentioned on the nutritional label of the brands. The quantitative analysis of mineral contents in food supplements has been done using CF-LIBS for brand A and brand B to verify the content of the minerals reported by the manufacturer of the food supplements. Our results show that Ca and Mg are the main matrix elements of these brands. The concentration of minor and trace elements estimated using CF-LIBS technique is found in agreement with the reported nutritional values of both the brands. The concentration of major elements Ca and Mg are also estimated from Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy which is in close agreement with CF-LIBS result.

Drug users are generally vulnerable to malnutrition because of the side effects of drugs itself that has resulted in appetite reduction and nutrients malabsorption. Inadequate nutrient intake especially nutrient for haemoglobinsynthesis is the main cause of anemia among drug users. The aim of this research was to analyze the relationship between intake of micronutrients and haemoglobin level among drug users in Medan Tembung Sub District. Thisresearch was an observasional study with cross sectional design. The respondents was 73 drug users selected by snowball and accidental sampling technique. Datas were analyzed using the pearson correlation test and rankspearmean correlation followed by linier regression test to analyze the main variables which cause the anemia. There was a relationship between the intake of micronutrients such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), vitamin B9, vitamin B12 andvitamin C with the level of Hb where the value of

“…One interesting point of view is that the majority of FIs are, in fact, extracted from side‐products of food processing which often are rich in bioactive compounds. Examples are numerous: fibers in lemon juice peel (Russo and others ), pineapple and coconut flour; flavonoids (antioxidants) in citrus peel and coffee silverskin (Webb ); polyphenols and tannins in berry, grape and apple pomace; lignins in bran, brewers spent grains (Buchet and others ) and defatted kenaf seed meal (Chan and others ). Peel of fresh‐cut fruits and vegetables is rich in bioactive compounds: dietary fiber, antioxidants and total polyphenols in apple skin; iron in potato skin; magnesium in melon skin; potassium in watermelon skin; manganese, zinc, phosphorus, calcium and sodium in cucumber skin (Tarazona‐Diaz and Aguayo ).…”

This paper offers a concise review of technical and operational concepts underpinning commercialization of minimally processed functional foods (FFs), foods with fresh-like qualities commanding premium prices. The growing number of permitted nutritional content/health claims, many of which relate to well-being, coupled with emerging extraction and food processing technologies offers new exciting opportunities for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) specializing in fresh produce to play an active role in the health market. Supporting SMEs, governments could benefit from savings in healthcare costs and value creation in the economy. Consumers could benefit from novel FF formats such as refrigerated RTE (ready-to-eat) meals, a variety of fresh-like meat-, fish-, and egg-based products, fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, cereal-based fermented foods and beverages. To preserve these valuable commodities, mild biological (enzymatic treatment, fermentation and, bio-preservation) and engineering solutions are needed. The latter include nonthermal techniques such as high-pressure treatment, cook-chill, sous-vide, mirco-encapsulation, vacuum impregnation and others. "De-constructive" culinary techniques such as 3D food printing and molecular gastronomy as well as developments in nutrigenomics and digital technologies facilitate novel product formats, personalization and access to niche markets. In the operational sense, moving from nourishment to health improvement demands a shift from defensive market-oriented to offensive market-developing strategies including collaborative networks with research organizations.
