    Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision

    1 Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision The Office of Health Care Quality is pleased to release the latest revision of the Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents. This manual is a premier publication—serving as a resource for providers, health care facilities, caregivers and families across the nation. In long-term care facilities, meeting nutritional requirements is not as easy as it sounds. It is important to provide a wide variety of food choices that satisfy each resident’s physical, ethnic, cultural, and social needs and preferences. These considerations could last for months or even years. Effective nutritional planning, as well as service of attractive, tasty, well-prepared food can greatly enhance the quality of life for long-term care residents. The Diet Manual for Long Term Care Residents was conceived and developed to provide guidance and assistance to nursing home personnel. It has also been used successfully in community health programs, chronic rehabilitation, and assisted living programs. It serves as a guide in prescribing diets, an aid in planning regular and therapeutic diet menus, and as a reference for developing recipes and preparing diets. The publication is not intended to be a nutrition-care manual or a substitute for individualized judgment of a qualified professional. Also included, is an appendix that contains valuable information to assess residents’ nutritional status. On behalf of the entire OHCQ agency, I would like to thank the nutrition experts who volunteered countless hours to produce this valuable tool. We also appreciate Beth Bremner and Cheryl Cook for typing the manual.

In 2010/11, Ghana cocoa exports reached a record high of 1,004,000 MT, which is 35.7 percent higher than the last full- year record of 740,000 MT, hit in the 2005-06 season. Ghana continues to maintain its position as the world’s second largest exporter of cocoa after Ivory Coast. The main importers of Ghana cocoa beans and products are the USA, European Union, Asia (Japan, China, India), Brazil and South Africa. In MY 2010 U.S.A. imports of cocoa beans from Ghana was a record value at $95.6 million up from $55.2 million in 2009. Additionally, Ghana’s exports of cocoa butter and paste to the U.S.A. increased from $32 million in 2009 to a record value of $86.2 million in 2010, probably due to quality cocoa products produced in Ghana. Executive Summary: The cocoa industry has been the mainstay of the Ghanaian economy and provides the second largest source of export earnings representing about 30 percent of Ghana's total export earnings. Ghana is presently the world’s second largest producer of cocoa beans, after the Ivory Coast.

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to Unilever Sri Lanka Unilever's association with the country, Ceylon at the time, began in the early 1900s with brands such as Sunlight, Lux and Pears Rose being available for sale in the local market. In 1927 imports and distribution was organised with the appointment of a sole agent Sankar Aiyars. In 1938, with the sales of Sunlight reaching 2000 tons and Lux reaching 200 tons Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited was incorporated. This was followed with the establishment of a soap factory in Grandpass Colombo in April 1940. Bakery fats and Margarine manufacture commenced in 1941 and in 1958 the company established its own selling and distribution organisation (Sankalana, 2009). Over the years the organisation expanded and the business activities of Unilever were managed through Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited, Lipton, Brooke Bond, Ceytea, Lever Aqua Products and Premier Foods. The organisation was restructured in 1991 to bring all legal entities under the umbrella of Unilever Ceylon. Since then the business was managed by two divisions namely Consumer Division and Tea Division. Since 1996, the consolidated business entity is known as Unilever Sri Lanka Limited (USL) with its head office and main food and home and personal care (HPC) factory in Grandpass, Colombo. This plant manufactures a large range of fast moving consumer goods such as toilet soaps, hard soaps, washing powders, shampoos, toothpaste and margarine. This site employs around 1270 permanent employees. Non soap detergent (NSD) plant, hard soap packing plant and the distribution centre are located at the Lindel industrial site in Sapugaskanda, about 15 km away from the Grandpass office.

    Point-Of-Care Detection, Characterization, and Removal of Chocolate Bloom Using a Handheld Raman Spectrometer Joshua Heuler1, Siyu He2, Sharad Ambardar3 & Dmitri V

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Point-of-care detection, characterization, and removal of chocolate bloom using a handheld Raman spectrometer Joshua Heuler1, Siyu He2, Sharad Ambardar3 & Dmitri V. Voronine3,4 ✉ Chocolate bloom is an of-white coating on the surface of chocolate products due to the altered distribution of the ingredients. Bloom reduces the shelf-life of chocolate and afects its visual and tactile quality, all of which are serious concerns for chocolate manufacturers and consumers. The automated, rapid, and noninvasive point-of-care detection of chocolate bloom has been an essential but challenging problem. The ability to detect and characterize chocolate bloom using portable laser spectroscopy could be used to develop in-situ quality control sensors. In this work, a handheld Raman spectrometer was used to detect chocolate bloom. Raman spectra acquired from bloomed HERSHEY’S milk chocolate, Hawaiian Host milk chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and Babayevsky Russian dark chocolate were used to characterize the type of bloom. The 1064 nm laser beam of the handheld Raman instrument was used to partially remove the fat bloom of the dark chocolate and to induce sugar bloom on the milk chocolate. The handheld Raman approach has a high potential for industrial and consumer applications for the on-site chemical analysis of chocolate bloom and as an alternative laser-based chocolate decoration. Te main components of milk and dark chocolate include cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar, with milk choco- late containing additional milk solids1. Te distribution of ingredients in the cocoa butter matrix combined with the crystalline structure of the cocoa are the key determinants of the characteristics of chocolate products2.

The partners in the four-year project – the Sustainable Food Laboratory, Rainforest Alliance, the International Institute for Environment and Development, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture, and Catholic Relief Services – are working together to develop, pilot, and learn from new business models of trading relationships between small-scale producers and formal markets. By working in partnership with business and looking across a diversity of crop types and market requirements – fresh horticulture, processed vegetables, pulses, certified coffee and cocoa – the collaboration aims to synthesize learning about how to increase access, benefits, and stability for small-scale producers while generating consistent and reliable supplies for buyers.
