  • Popular Sweeteners and Their Health Effects Based Upon Valid Scientific Data
    Popular Sweeteners and Their Health Effects Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By __________________________________ Ivan Lebedev __________________________________ Jayyoung Park __________________________________ Ross Yaylaian Date: Approved: __________________________________ Professor Satya Shivkumar Abstract Perceived health risks of artificial sweeteners are a controversial topic often supported solely by anecdotal evidence and distorted media hype. The aim of this study was to examine popular sweeteners and their health effects based upon valid scientific data. Information was gathered through a sweetener taste panel, interviews with doctors, and an on-line survey. The survey revealed the public’s lack of appreciation for sweeteners. It was observed that artificial sweeteners can serve as a low-risk alternative to natural sweeteners.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.

In this dissertation work, we developed two LC-MS platforms with electrospray ionization (ESI) sources, including a LC-triple quadrupole (LC-QQQ) MS platform for targeted metabolomics analysis and a LC-Orbitrap MS platform for untargeted metabolomics analysis, to assess and evaluate either biomarkers or chemical markers in various sample matrices. The main focus of targeted metabolomics platform was to study human gut microbiota and how the gut microbiome responds to therapies. We utilized a LC-QQQ targeted platform for this focus and conducted three projects: (1) to evaluate the effects of four nutrients, mucin, bile salts, inorganic salts, and short chain fatty acids, on the gut microbiome in terms

  • 17IFM07 Understanding Food Labels Final.Indd
    Understanding Food Labels Understanding food labels makes it easier to stay on track with your health and nutrition goals, but the information found on food labels can be confusing. To add to the confusion, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revised its rules for food labeling in 2016, giving manufacturers until July 2018 to comply with the rules. The current label is on the left, while the new label is on the right. As a consumer, you will likely see both of these food labels on packaged goods until July 2018. This handout walks you through the steps of reading both of these food labels. 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 1 This section of a food label contains information about the amount of food in the package. Labels indicate two things: the number of servings in the entire package, and the average serving size. Serving sizes are shown in two measurements: standard (cups) and metric (grams). In this example, the package contains 8 servings of food. One serving is equal to ⅔ cup, or 55 grams. 2 This section contains information about the number of calories in one serving of this food. Calories are units of energy generated by the food. Calories from fat are shown on old labels to indicate how much of the energy in each serving of food comes from fat. 3 Nutritional content is listed next. Figures are shown in grams for total fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrates, and protein. Some of these nutrient categories have subcategories. Under fat, two categories are listed: n Saturated fat: Saturated fat was once thought to be harmful, but current evidence suggests that it is not as bad as it once seemed.
