The purpose of food processing today is to make safer, more nutritious and tastier, increase storage life. Consumers have a lack trust in the way produced, formulated processed, particularly with possible contaminants or chemical residues from production. Food manufacturers are not seen as being highly trusted sources. This may partly result manufacturers’ reluctance share all information protect intellectual property via patents thus maintain competitive edge. There need inform consumer better about what operations involved ingredients subjected why. Various ways reviewed. New technologies face challenges when introduced factors influencing consumers’ other stakeholders’ acceptance should be part decision-making process adopting new technologies. Consumers’ perception risks same risk assessment made by experts. A few specific cases discussed further highlight multiplicity that contribute development certain product class products. also linked emergence terminologies associated an increasingly negative foods. We recommend transparency on formulation restore trust, which enables take advantage benefits different methods offer. must effort let consumers know how their processed within walls factory vis-à-vis preparing foods domestic environment.

Опубликована: Янв. 23, 2017

Coffee is the most consumed beverage worldwide. Epidemiological studies with prospective cohorts showed that coffee intake associated reduced cardiovascular and all-cause mortality independently of caffeine content. Cohort case-control reported an inverse association between consumption degree liver fibrosis as well development cancer. Furthermore, beneficial effects have been recently confirmed by large meta-analyses. In last two decades, various in vitro vivo evaluated molecular determinants for hepatoprotective coffee. present article, we aimed to critically review experimental evidence regarding active components bases underlying role against chronic diseases. Almost all highlighted this solid results indicating a pivot both chlorogenic acids. particular, models fibrosis, was shown inhibit hepatic stellate cell activation blocking adenosine receptors, emerging indicated may also favorably impact angiogenesis hemodynamics. On other side, acids, potent phenolic antioxidants, suppress fibrogenesis carcinogenesis reducing oxidative stress counteract steatogenesis through modulation glucose lipid homeostasis liver. Overall, these insights translational significance suggest need clinical evaluation.

Abstract This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of longitudinal observational and interventional studies on the cardiometabolic effects coffee consumption. It explores biological mechanisms, clinical policy implications, highlights gaps in evidence while suggesting future research directions. also reviews causal relationships between consumption outcomes from Mendelian randomization (MR) studies. Findings indicate that may cause short-term increases blood pressure, it does not contribute to long-term hypertension risk. There is limited indicating intake might reduce risk metabolic syndrome non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Furthermore, consistently linked with reduced risks type 2 diabetes (T2D) chronic kidney disease (CKD), showing dose-response relationships.
