“…Proximate composition refers to the basic components of a food item, including moisture, ash, lipid, protein, and carbohydrates. It is an important aspect of nutrition analysis and can be used for product development, quality control and regulatory purposes [11,12].…”

Background: A beverage is a liquid prepared from cereals, grains and leaves/calyxes for human consumption. Beverages are classified into alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Objective: The study evaluated the nutritional quality and antioxidant properties of Roselle-tiger nut beverage. Methods: Roselle-tiger nut beverage was produced from the control samples roselle and tiger nut (% v/v) using the ratios 100:0 Roselle beverage, 0:100 tiger nut beverage and 80:20 Roselle-tiger nut beverage. Subsequently, Proximate, mineral, phytochemical compositions, antioxidants properties and sensory properties were determined using established methods. Results: There was an elevation in protein (16.29±2.39a) carbohydrate (11.08±9.59a), crude protein (16.29±2.39a) and ash content (3.09±0.56a) but a decrease in moisture and crude fat content. Also, an increase in Sodium (0.09±0.01b), Zinc (0.21±0.00b) and Copper (0.09±0.00b) content with a decrease in Potassium, Phosphorus, Manganese, Magnesium, Calcium and Iron levels. For phytochemical compositions, an increase in flavonoids (1.73±0.43a), saponins (1.25±0.75a) and alkaloids (1.36±0.13a) contents with a decrease in tannins, oxalates and phytate contents was observed. There was an elevation in free radical scavenging activity (0.36±0.00ab) and ferric reducing power (0.32±0.00c) but a decrease in hydroxyl scavenging activity and metal chelating ability. Sample MNP836 of Roselle-tiger nut beverage was the most preferred by panelists for appearance (8.10), taste (8.24), flavor (8.38), mouth feel (8.38) and overall acceptability (8.48). Conclusion: Substitution of roselle beverage with 20% tiger nut beverage improved the nutritional quality of roselle-tiger nut beverage.

“…During the extrusion cooking, Ca, Mg, K, P, and Fe are the main components of the mineral profile investigated [46]. Fe is implied in O 2 transport and transfer to the cells, and its deficiency can determine anemia [52]. Zn is part of some essential enzymes, and it is involved in protein formation, retardation, and biological processes deregulations occurring if it is deficient [52].…”

A Review of the Changes Produced by Extrusion Cooking on the Bioactive Compounds from Vegetal Sources

The demand for healthy ready-to-eat foods like snacks is increasing. Physical modification of vegetal food matrices through extrusion generates significant changes in the chemical composition of the final product. There is a great variety of food matrices that can be used in extrusion, most of them being based on cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, or seeds. The aim of this review was to summarize the main effects of the extrusion process on the bioactive compounds content, namely phenolics, terpenes, vitamins, minerals, and fibers of vegetal mixes, as well as on their biological activity. The literature reported contradictory results regarding the changes in bioactive compounds after extrusion, mainly due to the differences in the processing conditions, chemical composition, physicochemical properties, and nutritional value of the extruded material and quantification methods. The thermolabile phenolics and vitamins were negatively affected by extrusion, while the fiber content was proved to be enhanced. Further research is needed regarding the interactions between bioactive components during extrusion, as well as a more detailed analysis of the impact of extrusion on the terpenes since there are few papers dealing with this aspect.

“…This relationship is not evident under physiological loads or, for example, when using natural therapeutic resources (NTR), particularly mineral waters (MW) of different physical and chemical compositions. This is especially true for NTRs with a high content of organic matter (C org ), which tend to affect the body's regulatory mechanisms [15][16][17][18][19][20]. One such factor, which is a priority for Ukraine, is considered to be natural mineral waters (MWs) with a high C org content.…”

“…При фізіологічних навантаженнях, або, наприклад при застосуванні природних лікувальних ресурсів (ПЛР) зокрема мінеральних вод (МВ) різного фізико-хімічного складу, такий зв'язок не наочний. Особливо це актуально для ПЛР з підвищеним вмістом органічних речовин (С орг ), яким властиво впливати на регуляторні механізми організму [15][16][17][18][19][20].

The authors used 192 white clinically healthy Wistar rats of outbred breeding weighing 180-200 g to conduct experimental studies to determine whether structural and functional parameters of the kidneys were related to normal (control group 1 -intact rats) and physiological course load (group 2) with natural mineral waters (MW) with a high content of organic matter (Corg). The use of this type of MW was due to the fact that the substances grouped under the concept of Corg have regulatory properties and can affect the functional activity of the kidneys. The study results showed that drinking by clinically healthy rats of the 2nd group of natural MWs with a high content of Corg compared with the control group changes the value of indicators of renal functional activity. In this case, the indicators of the structural organisation of the kidneys necessarily change. It allows us to state a close relationship between the indicators of functional and structural activity of the kidneys under physiological load conditions.This set of interrelated changes in the indicators of the organ's condition is defined in the literature as a structuralfunctional-metabolic continuum. Thus, the obtained results confirm the existence of such a phenomenon as one of the mechanisms of homeostasis maintenance.
