Introduction: Malnutrition is by far the biggest contributor to child mortality, present in half of all the cases globally. Malnutrition is more common in India than in Sub-Saharan Africa. One in every three malnourished children in the world lives in India. The nutritional status of an individual is often the result of many interrelated factors. Objectives: To identify the nutritional status under 1-5 years of age. To assess the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in children under 1-5 years of age. Method: The present study is a cross-sectional study conducted in Vydehi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre and Hospital in Bangalore. During the study period about 130 children were enrolled who fulfils the inclusion criteria and those who admitted in Paediatric ward. This study was taken up with the purpose of assessment of nutritional status and the relationship of nutritional status with iron deficiency anemia in children under 5 years of age. Results: According to IAP grading of malnutrition, 12.4% and 28.5% children were belonged to grade IV and III, 36.9% and 22.3% of children belonged to grade I and II malnutrition. According to this study, malnutrition was more prevalent in female children. The prevalence of severe and moderate, wasting was 40% and 26.9%, stunting 8.5% and 15.4%, MUAC 11.5% and 25.4%. Prevalence of severe and moderate thinness of children according to body mass index was 46.9% and 36.9% respectively. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in malnourished children was 48.5% and it was also found that 11.5% of children were severely anemic and 30.8% of children were moderately anemic. Conclusion: Malnutrition is a significant problem under 5 years of age which can be reduced with proper education, growth monitoring and good nutrition.

“…The recorded Hb levels were found at par with standard value (11.5 g/dl) as given by WHO (2001) in both groups after supplementation. Likewise, Jood, Bishnoi, and Sehgal (2000) also reported an improvement in the Hb level of the anemic school going children after supplementation of biscuits. Similarly, Diaz, Rosado, and Allen (2003) observed that the iron absorption capacity was found more in the anemic children who were supplemented with iron-rich food supplement.…”

Development of quality protein product using biofortified maize to combat malnutrition among young children

2020

Background and objectives Protein–energy malnutrition is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency across the world predominantly affecting young children. The present study was undertaken to develop quality protein maize (QPM)‐based biscuits for its supplementation to 60 malnourished young children (aged between 4 and 6 years). The developed biscuits were analyzed for nutritional composition, and the effect of supplementation was determined by evaluating the overall nutritional status of the subjects. Findings The nutritional analysis revealed that QPM‐based biscuits contained 8.1 g/day crude protein, 0.8 g tryptophan, 1.6 g methionine, and 3.6 g lysine per 100 g. The evaluation of nutritional status of the subjects revealed that the blood levels of total protein in the subjects of both groups were at par with the standard value (6.6 g/dl) before and after supplementation. Conclusions A percentage of total anemic subjects (63.3%) in the experimental group significantly (p ≤ .01) reduced to 16.6 percent, and the prevalence of severe underweight (≥3 SD) (23.34%) reduced to zero after supplementation with QPM‐based biscuits. Significance and novelty This study opens prospects for the bakery industry to develop low‐cost quality protein products which may further be recommended to the supplementation programs engaged to curb malnutrition in the developing countries.

“…According to their findings, none of the food product showed a strong positive correlation between price and quality, and only two showed a moderate positive correlation. They concluded that the higher the price, the higher the quality is not supported regarding food product categories [13].…”

“…Additionally, the relationship between these two variables significantly varies from country to country [12]. Jood et al [13], examined thirty-two food product categories in terms of the quality and price relationship. According to their findings, none of the food product showed a strong positive correlation between price and quality, and only two showed a moderate positive correlation.…”

Spaghetti is one of the most consumed food (pasta) products in the world. It is cheap, nutritious, delicious, and easy to prepare. Its quality is based on its raw material and is measured by its color, appearance, and primarily its cooking characteristics. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a correlation exists between spaghetti quality and price. In this context, physicochemical and cooking quality of 16 different spaghetti samples obtained from nationwide chain markets in Mersin (Turkey) were evaluated and compared with their prices. Results showed that spaghetti samples had similar values in terms of optimum cooking time, cooking loss, and water absorption capacity. The quality characteristics of spaghetti samples were found to be acceptable according to the information in the literature. At the same time, insignificant correlation existed between the quality parameters and price of spaghetti samples, with an exception for the parameters of color and elasticity. A positive correlation of 0.74 was found between the price and color characteristics (CIELAB) of samples. Samples that provide the highest elasticity values also had the highest price. Similarly, the lowest elasticity value was obtained for one of the samples with the lowest price.
