  • 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. Meat Very Lean - 7 0-1 35 Lean - 7 3 55 Medium-Fat - 7 5 75 High-Fat - 7 8 100 III. Vegetable 5 2 - 25 IV. Fruit 15 - - 60 V. Milk Skim 12 8 0-3 90 Low-fat 12 8 5 120 Whole 12 8 8 150 VI.

  • Consumer Perspective Regarding Dried Tropical Fruits in Turkey
    SURVEY CONSUMER PERSPECTIVE REGARDING DRIED TROPICAL FRUITS IN TURKEY G. CINAR Department of Agricultural Economics, Faculty of Agriculture, Aydın Adnan Menderes University, Turkey E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The purposes of this study are to evaluate the tropical fruit (banana, kiwi, pineapple) preferences of consumers in Turkey and their willingness to pay and to assess the factors that affect this willingness to pay. In this context, tropical fruit products were presented in packages of 50 grams to 386 individuals who had never tasted these products before, and after the products had been tasted, surveys were administered. The findings revealed that dried banana has sensory issues related to hardness and taste and that dried kiwi has sensory issues related to taste and odour. The results show that improving the taste characteristics and increasing the emphasis on health while promoting the products could have a positive impact on increasing the demand for these products in Turkey. Keywords: consumers, dried fruits, sensory analysis, willingness to pay Ital. J. Food Sci., vol. 30, 2018 - 809 1. INTRODUCTION In Turkey, fruit is a widely cultivated product. However, demand for banana, pineapple and kiwi, which are tropical fruits, is met through imports because of climatic conditions and land constraints in Turkey. In 2015, Turkey had a total of 5,896,156 USD of pineapple imports, 108,334,990 USD of banana imports and 2,945,173 USD of kiwi imports. Many of these imports are from countries such as Costa Rica, Ecuador, Chile, Guatemala and Panama (ANONYMOUS, 2016). Importing from other countries increases the risk that these products will be decayed.
