Foods for Plant-Based Diets: Challenges and Innovations

Foods, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(2), P. 293 - 293

Published: Feb. 1, 2021

Plant-based diets have become popular as a means of reducing the environmental footprint diet and promoting human health animal welfare. Although percentages vegetarians vegans are low compared to omnivores, their numbers increased significantly in last years. The use non-animal food products other than meat alternatives is also increasing this tendency constitutes an opportunity for industry. In review, we present that plant-based milk consolidated but there niche egg, seafood alternatives, new which may not resemble any traditional food. However, all substitutes sustainable some them even ultra-processed. addition, concerns on safety labeling, consumers demand clear information regulation. challenges field connected with design technology, sensory science, nutrition, dietetics. Moreover, adequate selection combination foods important order achieve consumer acceptance while preventing nutritional deficiencies those who choose type diet.

Nutritional Components in Western Diet Versus Mediterranean Diet at the Gut Microbiota–Immune System Interplay. Implications for Health and Disease

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 699 - 699

Published: Feb. 22, 2021

The most prevalent diseases of our time, non-communicable (NCDs) (including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and some types cancer) are rising worldwide. All them share the condition an “inflammatory disorder”, with impaired immune functions frequently caused or accompanied by alterations in gut microbiota. These multifactorial maladies also have common malnutrition related to physiopathology. In this context, diet is greatest modulator system–microbiota crosstalk, much interest, new challenges, arising area precision nutrition as a way towards treatment prevention. It fact that westernized (WD) partly responsible for increased prevalence NCDs, negatively affecting both microbiota system. Conversely, other nutritional approaches, such Mediterranean (MD), positively influence system microbiota, proposed not only potential tool clinical management different disease conditions, but prevention health promotion globally. Thus, purpose review determine regulatory role components WD MD interplay, order understand, create awareness of, over key components.

Impact of Dietary Palmitic Acid on Lipid Metabolism

Frontiers in Nutrition, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: March 23, 2022

Palmitic acid (PA) is ubiquitously present in dietary fat guaranteeing an average intake of about 20 g/d. The relative high requirement and content the human body, which accounts for 20-30% total fatty acids (FAs), justified by its relevant nutritional role. In particular physiological conditions, such as fetal stage or developing brain, respectively inefficient placental brain blood-barrier transfer PA strongly induces endogenous biosynthesis from glucose via de novo lipogenesis (DNL) to secure a tight homeostatic control tissue concentration required exert multiple activities. However, pathophysiological conditions (insulin resistance) are characterized sustained DNL liver aimed at preventing excess accumulation glucose, result increased disrupted concentration. This leads overaccumulation PA, results dyslipidemia, ectopic accumulation, inflammatory tone toll-like receptor 4. Any change saturated FAs (SFAs) usually reflects complementary polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) intake. Since PUFA particularly n-3 highly PUFA, suppress lipogenic gene expression, their reduction rather than SFA may promote production DNL. Thereby, increase deleterious consequences dysregulated can be mistakenly attributed PA.

Oil palm biomass in Indonesia: Thermochemical upgrading and its utilization

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 176, P. 113193 - 113193

Published: Jan. 30, 2023

Indonesia is the world's largest palm oil producing country. The industry (plantation and milling) generates large amounts of solid waste in form empty fruit bunches (EFB), kernel shells (PKS), mesocarp fiber (MF), fronds (OPF), trunks (OPT). This leftover waste, collectively termed biomass (OPB), causes severe environmental pollution, thereby threatening sustainability industry. Upgrading OPB by thermochemical processes (torrefaction pyrolysis) has attracted significant interest as a means recycling residues mitigating damage. study reviews previous research on environment-friendly utilization Indonesia. First, general information presented (availability, properties, governmental policy). Second, torrefaction for production upgraded fuel summarized. Third, pyrolysis to produce biochar reviewed use soil amendment carbon storage. market perspective life cycle assessment (LCA) thermally treated are discussed, targeting generation electricity (OPB torrefaction) agricultural enhancement biochar). expected contribute economic success also net-zero 2060

Dietary Fat and Cancer—Which Is Good, Which Is Bad, and the Body of Evidence

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 21(11), P. 4114 - 4114

Published: June 9, 2020

A high-fat diet (HFD) induces changes in gut microbiota leading to activation of pro-inflammatory pathways, and obesity, as a consequence overnutrition, exacerbates inflammation, known risk factor not only for cancer. However, experimental data showed that the composition dietary fat has greater impact on pathogenesis cancer than total content isocaloric diets. Similarly, human studies did prove decrease intake is an effective strategy combat Saturated long been considered harmful, but current consensus moderate saturated fatty acids (SFAs), including palmitic acid (PA), does pose health within balanced diet. In regard monounsaturated fat, plant sources are recommended. The consumption (MUFAs), particularly from olive oil, associated with lower risk. replacement animal MUFAs decreased mortality. polyunsaturated (PUFAs) depends ratio between ω-6 ω-3 PUFAs. vivo stimulatory effects PUFAs tumour growth while were protective, results promising indicated preclinical reports. As trans FAs (TFAs), mostly opposite industrially produced natural TFAs, latter being protective against progression, mixed, no clear conclusion can be made.

Sustainability certification schemes were introduced to the palm oil industry as a response address negative environmental and social impacts associated with development of this industry. The first scheme for oil, Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), was established in 2004, followed by other non-governmental initiatives ensure sustainable production oil. Indonesia Malaysia, two largest producers world, (ISPO) Malaysia (MSPO) 2011 2015, respectively. This article aims analyze existing literature related studies on RSPO, MSPO ISPO basis articles identified from SCOPUS (scopus.com) Web Science (clavirate.com) databases. Results showed that research RSPO has been widely conducted compared ISPO. Thus, further is needed understand dynamics implementation sustainability certification. also provides an insight how industry, particularly MSPO, could contribute achieving Development Goals (SDGs).
