  • Diabetes Exchange List
    THE DIABETIC EXCHANGE LIST (EXCHANGE DIET) The Exchange Lists are the basis of a meal planning system designed by a committee of the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association. The Exchange Lists The reason for dividing food into six different groups is that foods vary in their carbohydrate, protein, fat, and calorie content. Each exchange list contains foods that are alike; each food choice on a list contains about the same amount of carbohydrate, protein, fat, and calories as the other choices on that list. The following chart shows the amounts of nutrients in one serving from each exchange list. As you read the exchange lists, you will notice that one choice is often a larger amount of food than another choice from the same list. Because foods are so different, each food is measured or weighed so that the amounts of carbohydrate, protein, fat, and calories are the same in each choice. The Diabetic Exchange List Carbohydrate (grams) Protein (grams) Fat (grams) Calories I. Starch/Bread 15 3 trace 80 II.

Some Useful Advice 35 Come and taste! www.czechtourism.com Introduction Travelling is by far the best way to acquaint oneself with different countries. Needless to say getting to know the basic features of the culture and traditions of the visited country also involves tasting the specialities of its national cuisine. Sometimes this may require some courage on the visitor's part, sometimes it may provide agreeable palate sensations to be remembered for years. In our opinion, a piece of expert advice may always come in handy. And this is the aim of the publication you have in your hands. Going Back in Time Nature has been generous to the original inhabitants of the Czech Republic giving them a wealth of gifts to live on, including an abundance of fish in the rivers and game in the forests, as well as fertile fields. Besides that, poultry, cattle and sheep breeding throve in the Czech lands. Popular meals included soups, various kinds of gruel and dishes prepared from pulses. The Czech diet was varied and substantial, and before long it was supplemented by beer and wine since vine-grapes have from time immemorial been cultivated successfully in the warm climate of the Moravian and Bohemian lowlands.

As the recipes are based on different measurements and temperature scales we have added conversion tables for your (and our) help. At the end of the recipe book you will find a vocabulary list with the most common ingredients for the recipes in the languages used in the countries involved in the project. For the order of recipes we decided to begin with starters and soups being followed by various main courses and desserts. Finally we have added a chapter about typical cookies and cakes. We learned during the project work, that making cookies yourself is not common in many of the countries involved in this project, but nevertheless many nice cookies recipes exist – we wanted to give them some space here and we hope that you will try out some of them! We have added a DVD which shows the making of some of the dishes during the meetings and also contains the recipes.

  • Impact of High Pressure Processing on Immunoreactivity and Some Physico-Chemical Properties of Almond Milk THESIS Presented in P
    Impact of High Pressure Processing on Immunoreactivity and Some Physico-chemical Properties of Almond Milk THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Santosh Dhakal Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2013 Master's Examination Committee: Professor V. M. Balasubramaniam, Advisor Professor Sheryl Barringer Professor Monica Giusti Copyrighted by Santosh Dhakal 2013 ABSTRACT Almond milk as a beverage has recently gained attention with increase in consumer awareness about health benefits of plant based beverages. The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of high pressure processing (HPP) on residual mmunoreactivity, protein solubility, and other selected quality attributes. Almond milk was prepared by disintegrating 10% almonds with water and were subjected to high pressure processing (HPP; 450 and 600 MPa at 30oC up to 600 s) and thermal processing (TP; 72, 85 and 99 oC, 0.1 MPa up to 600 s). After HPP (for all holding times), amandin, a key thermally resistant almond allergen, can no longer be detected by the anti-conformational epitopes MAb in ELISA while signal generated from the anti-linear epitopes MAb was reduced by half (P < 0.05). On the other hand, most TP samples did not show significant reductions in immunoreactivity (P > 0.05) unless processed at 85 and 99 °C for 300 s. Western blot (applicable for soluble proteins) and dot blot (applicable for soluble and insoluble proteins) also confirmed the loss of immunoreactivity by both antibodies for HPP almond milk.

    Handy One-Page LID Summary—Tear-Out Copy For the detailed Free Low-Iodine Cookbook with hundreds of delicious recipes, visit www.thyca.org. Key Points This is a Low-Iodine Diet (“LID”), not a “No-Iodine Diet” or an “Iodine-Free Diet.” The American Thyroid Association suggests a goal of under 50 micrograms (mcg) of iodine per day. The diet is for a short time period, usually for the 2 weeks (14 days) before a radioactive iodine scan or treatment and 1-3 days after the scan or treatment. Avoid foods and beverages that are high in iodine (>20 mcg/serving). Eat any foods and beverages low in iodine (< 5 mcg/serving). Limit the quantity of foods moderate in iodine (5-20 mcg/serving). Foods to AVOID Foods to ENJOY • Iodized salt, sea salt, and any foods containing iodized • Fruit, fresh, frozen, or jarred, salt-free and without red salt or sea salt food dye; canned in limited quantities; fruit juices • Seafood and sea products (fish, shellfish, seaweed, • Vegetables: ideally raw or frozen without salt, except seaweed tablets, calcium carbonate from oyster shells, soybeans carrageenan, agar-agar, alginate, arame, dulse, • Beans: unsalted canned, or cooked from the dry state furikake, hiziki, kelp, kombu, nori, wakame, and other • Unsalted nuts and unsalted nut butters sea-based foods or ingredients) • Egg whites • Dairy products of any kind (milk, cheese, yogurt, • Fresh meats (uncured; no added salt or brine butter, ice cream, lactose, whey, casein, etc.) solutions) up to 6 ounces a day • Egg yolks, whole eggs, or foods containing them •
