Today, after nearly 20 years, the wars are over, in most areas peace has set in, and stability has been achieved. And yet, in our interview with Blerim Reka, he echoes Clinton’s words saying: “It is the duty of our generation to tell our grandchildren the successful story of the Balkans, different from the bloody Balkans one which we were told about.” This and many more observations made by the authors of this issue of New Eastern Europe piece together a complex picture of a region marred by a painful past and facing a hopeful, yet fragile future.

  • Cocoa and Chocolate Consumption
    Invited Review: Cocoa and chocolate consumption Cocoa and chocolate consumption – Are there aphrodisiac and other benefits for human health? Afoakwa EO, MPhil, PhD Centre for Food Quality, Strathclyde Institute for Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom Department of Nutrition and Food Science, University of Ghana, Legon – Accra, Ghana. Nestlé Product Technology Centre York, York, United Kingdom Correspondence to: E Afoakwa, e-mail: [email protected] Keywords: cocoa; chocolate; aphrodisiac; flavanols; polyphenols; cardioprotection Abstract Cocoa and chocolate have been acclaimed for several years for their possible medicinal and health benefits. It is only recently, however, that some of these claims have been more clearly identified and studied. Recent epidemiological and clinical studies, for example, have shown that dietary supplementation with flavonoid-rich cocoa and chocolate may exert a protective effect on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, which has been associated with a reduced risk of developing atherosclerosis. Some of the identified benefits of flavonoid-rich cocoa and chocolate include antioxidant properties, reduced blood pressure via the induction of nitric-oxide (NO)-dependent vasodilation in men, improved endothelial function, increased insulin sensitivity, decreased platelet activation and function, as well as modulated immune function and inflammation. Furthermore, chocolate has been reported to release phenylethylamine and serotonin into the human system, producing some aphrodisiac

  • “Let's Make Candies”
    CANDY MAKING GUIDE Winnebago County 4-H Mmmmmm… Let’s Make Candies “Candy Can Be More Than Calories” Everyone likes a tasty treat to satisfy their “sweet tooth”, and most often it will be a food containing a large proportion of sugar. Candy is the most concentrated sweet food, but it doesn’t have to provide only “empty”, non- nutritious calories. Many candies that you can make very easily contain ingredients that provide protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Candy should not be a major source of nutrients, as you would have to eat too much of it, but it can be a useful supplement if nutritious recipes are chosen. Watch for such ingredients as peanut butter, oatmeal, nuts, milk, gelatin, and fruit. CANDIES Candies are usually divided into two basic classes: crystalline and non-crystalline. We will also be using three additional classes of candy and candy treats. They are uncooked candies, cereal candies, and microwave candies. Uncooked & Semi-cooked .............................Candies that are uncooked or semi-cooked. Cereal .............................................................Candies that include cereal in the recipe. Crystalline or creamy .....................................Candies that have a distinct crystalline structure such as fondants, fudges, penuche, divinity. Non-crystalline or amorphous .......................Caramels, peanut brittle, butterscotch, hard candy, lollipops, marshmallows, gum drops. Microwave .....................................................Candies that fall in one of the above classes, but are also prepared using a microwave oven. The type of candy made is determined by the ingredients used, the degree of cooking, and the manipulation after cooking. 2 EQUIPMENT No equipment is necessary other than that usually found in the kitchen. Candy-making can become even easier by using certain special equipment, most of which can be obtained at reasonable cost.

  • Use of Milk Fat/Cellulose Ether Emulsions in Spreadable Creams and the Effect of in Vitro Digestion on Texture and Fat Digestibility
    foods Article Use of Milk Fat/Cellulose Ether Emulsions in Spreadable Creams and the Effect of In Vitro Digestion on Texture and Fat Digestibility Maria Espert, Teresa Sanz and Ana Salvador * Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos (CSIC), Avda. Agustín Escardino 7, 46980 Paterna, Spain; [email protected] (M.E.); [email protected] (T.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-963900022 Received: 29 April 2020; Accepted: 15 June 2020; Published: 17 June 2020 Abstract: This study investigated the texture properties and fat digestibility of new spreadable chocolate creams formulated with an emulsion composed of milk fat and a cellulose ether as a fat source. The spreadability was analysed at 20 ◦C and compared with a commercial spreadable cream formulated with palm fat. Structural changes in the creams after the in vitro oral and gastric digestion stages were evaluated; lipid digestibility was determined by titration with NaOH during intestinal digestion. Spreadability tests showed the spreads were similar. After oral digestion, the commercial spread showed an increase in extrusion force because of flocculation induced by saliva, an effect not observed in spreads with cellulose ether. Digestibility determination showed lower values for the reformulated spreads. Therefore, milk fat-cellulose ether based emulsions offer an alternative to achieve reformulated spreadable creams, with physical properties similar to those of commercial products but providing reduced fat content and lower lipid digestibility, without compromising the quality of the final product. Keywords: hydrocolloids; milk fat; spreadable creams; spreadability; fat release 1. Introduction Solid fats (fats high in saturated fatty acids) are major components in several food products used daily including spreads, creams, chocolates, ice-creams, and various bakery products [1].
