Breakfast Location Effect on Breakfast Quality and Obesity Risk in Saudi Female College Students
The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of breakfast consumption and examine the effect of breakfast location on breakfast nutritional quality and obesity risk among female college students at Taibah University. Methods: A total of 658 students participated in this cross-sectional study. Based on the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) recommendations, breakfast quality scores were computed by summing the individual food components and categorizing participants according to tertiles of the breakfast score distribution. Mixed-effects, repeated-measures models were used to examine BMI categories with i...

Formulation, Sensory Attributes and Nutrient Content of a Malted Sorghum-based Porridge: Potential for the Management of Moderate Acute Malnutrition among Infants and Young Children
This study aimed to develop acceptable malted sorghum-based supplementary porridge (MSBP) that meets the energy and protein specifications for the management of IYC with MAM, using locally-available ingredients. Methods: MSBP formulations included the use of malted sorghum flour and extruded soy and corn flour. The ratio of the soy to corn ingredients was 3:7 (F617/F593), 1:1 (F892/F940), and 4:1 for CSB+, which is the standard care for the management of IYC with MAM in Uganda. The sorghum malt content for F617/F892 and F593/F940 was 25% and 30%, respectively. F617, F593, F892 and F940 met international specifications for ...

Application of Microbial Transglutaminase in Wheat Bread Industry: A Review
Bread as the main food all over the world is generally based on wheat flour due to its unique properties to form a three-dimensional gluten network. In fact, the quality of bread is influenced by wheat gluten quality and quantity. The quality of gluten protein is mainly defined based on its amino acids composition and bonding (covalent and non-covalent). Gluten protein quality is considered weak based on its essential amino acid content: lysine and threonine. Covalent crosslinks as the main factor in determining the integrity of the gluten network are also interrupted by the activity of proteolytic enzymes and reducing age...
