“…Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is well known for its effects on the immune system, and in states of increased inflammation, vitamin C levels tend to decrease in the body [52]. Several studies in cell, animals, and humans have suggested that red-colored foods and/or their isolated constituents [53] may assist with reducing systemic inflammation and bolstering immune status by reducing infections, including watermelon [54], apples [55][56][57][58][59][60][61], cherries [61][62][63], cranberries [57,64,65] pomegranate [66][67][68][69][70], and raspberries [71][72][73].…”

Over the past decades, thousands of published studies have amassed supporting recommendations to consume fruits and vegetables for physiological and psychological health. Newer research has emerged to suggest that these plant-based foods contain a plethora of not only vitamins and minerals, but perhaps, most importantly, phytonutrients. These phytonutrients have known pleiotropic effects on cellular structure and function, ultimately resulting in the modulation of protein kinases and subsequent epigenetic modification in a manner that leads to improved outcomes. Even though eating fruits and vegetables is a well-known feature of a healthy dietary pattern, population intakes continue to be below federal recommendations. To encourage consumers to include fruits and vegetables into their diet, an “eat by color” approach is proposed in this review. Although each individual food may have numerous effects based on its constituents, the goal of this simplified approach was to identify general patterns of benefits based on the preponderance of scientific data and known mechanisms of food-based constituents. It is suggested that such a consumer-oriented categorization of these plant-based foods may lead to greater recognition of their importance in the daily diet throughout the lifespan. Other adjunctive strategies to heighten awareness of fruits and vegetables are discussed.

“…In China, the LDS series moisture detector manufactured by Shanghai Qingpu Oasis Detection Instrument Co., Ltd. adopts a structure of coaxial cylindrical capacitance sensor, which has poor repeatability and low accuracy when measuring the moisture content of peanuts; The GMK-303U grain moisture detector manufactured by G-won company of Korea can measure the moisture content of peanut kernel in the range of 4.8%-14.7%, with an accuracy of ± 0.5%. The PM8188 type of capacitive moisture detector in Japan can be used to detect the peanut kernel samples with moisture content of 4%-15% (Basu et al, 2018;Taki et al, 2018). The instrument is easy to operate, but the measurement results error of some samples are as high as 2%-3% compared with the standard drying method.…”

The measurement accuracy and repetition rate of the existing peanut moisture detector are poor. To solve this problem, this paper designs a capacitive peanut moisture detector based on the capacitance method. Firstly, the structure of coaxial cylindrical capacitive moisture sensor is optimized. STM32 chip microcomputer is used in the main control chip, and the change in capacitance is transformed to change in frequency by capacitance detection circuit. The temperature and quality of peanut kernel are measured by DS18B20 temperature sensor and weighing sensor respectively. The influence of particle size, moisture content, temperature and volume density on the output differential frequency of capacitance sensor are studied by using the differential frequency method. In the range of moisture content of 4.3%-19.1% and temperature of 10°C-40°C, a mathematical model for the relationship among moisture content, temperature, and differential frequency is established. The prediction test of peanut kernel’s moisture content shows that the measurement error of moisture content is within ±0.5%, indicating that the instrument has high measurement accuracy and repeatability when it is used to detect the moisture content of peanut kernels, and has a wide application prospect.

“…The benefits of dark chocolate have been attributed to a type of polyphenols known as flavonoids, which include flavonols and other polyphenols, such as epicatechin and catechin. In this line, some studies [ 14 ] have related the consumption of certain flavonol- and polyphenol-rich products, such as propolis [ 15 ], fruits and vegetables [ 16 ], to QoL, with rather inconclusive results. In women, the habitual consumption of coffee has been associated with slight improvement in the mental dimension of QoL [ 17 ].…”

Cocoa-Rich Chocolate and Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial

et al. 2020

Menopause has a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). The aim of the present study was to analyse the effect on QoL of adding 10 g per day of chocolate with a high concentration of cocoa (99%) to the habitual diet, for 6 months, in a sample of postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women (n = 140) aged 50–64 years were randomised to either an addition of 10 g per day of cocoa-rich chocolate to their usual diet or no supplement addition. All variables were measured at baseline and after six months of intervention. QoL was evaluated using the 3-level version of EuroQol-5D (EuroQoL-5D-3L), the EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) and the Cervantes scale. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) analyses adjusted for the main determinants of QoL considered in this study showed no changes in the global score of QoL evaluated with the EuroQoL-5D-3L. The intervention group showed an increase of 6.0 points (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.4, 11.7) in the EQ-VAS compared to the control group (p = 0.036). No significant changes were observed between groups in the global score of QoL nor in the dimensions and subdimensions measured with the Cervantes scale. The additional daily contribution of 10 g of cocoa-rich chocolate in postmenopausal women could have a slight impact on their perception toward their health state, although without modifying the health-related QoL or the dimensions that compose it.
