Received 17 March, 2017; Accepted 6 July, 2017 The Lablab bean (Lablab purpureus) has potential of being an outstanding resource for human food and animal feed in tropical agricultural systems. The bean is however grossly underutilized due to anti- nutritional factors, which may affect its nutritive value and organoleptic properties. In this study, twenty-four (24) lablab bean accessions were assayed for sensory flavor characteristics and volatile compounds to identify acceptable selections for adoption and incorporation into a rationalized breeding program. Sensory tests were carried out by a panel of 11 trained evaluators. Volatile compounds were extracted using hexane and separated using gas chromatography. Sensory tests showed significant differences for the bitter taste (p≤0.05), with accession 10706 showing the highest odour and bitter taste levels, while accession 13096 had the lowest. Two hundred and sixty two (262) volatile compounds were identified and grouped into 12 classes.

  • Green Beans and Pea Pods Contribute Color to the Vegetables, but Also Have a Health Benefit
    Natural pigments in green beans and pea pods contribute color to the vegetables, but also have a health benefit. The yellow color is from carotenoids and the green is from chlorophyll. One cup of raw green beans or pea pods contains: • 20‐60% daily Value (DV) of vitamin C. • 15‐20% DV of vitamin A. • 5‐10% DV of fiber.

    Advances in Health Sciences Research, volume 13 5th International Conference on Health Sciences (ICHS 2018) Daun Kelor (Moringa oleifera L.) as an Alternative Resource of Isoflavone for Postmenopausal Women st nd rd 1 Rehuel Christian 2 Theresia P. E. Sanubari 3 Kristiawan P. A. Nugroho Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Satya Wacana Christian University Satya Wacana Christian University Satya Wacana Christian University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT - — Post menopausal women experience physiology and dietary pattern changes which impact their health status. Hormonal changes, especially the decreased of estrogen, considered as a main trigger of health issue like osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. While, hormon replacement therapy has many side effects, high-isoflavon diet emerge as an alternative for helping post menopause women encouter hormonal imbalance because isoflavon role as phytoestrogen. Panti wreda (elderly nursing home) is one of the parties that can help the nutritional management of postmenopausal women regularly. This research aims to looking for local food which can be used especially by elderly nursing homes as an isoflavon-contained diet. This research was carried out by in-depth interviewand observation in Panti Wreda Mandiri Salib Putih (PWMSP) Salatiga along with literature review. Daun kelor (Moringa oleifera L.) contains isoflavon and calcium which helping postmenopausal women deal with osteoporosis issue. Therefore, daun kelor (Moringa oleifera L.) can be used either by PWMSP and society as an altenative diet for postmenopausal women.

Maija Kymäläinen Date 13.2.2017 Number of pages 54 Language English Abstract The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of hornification on the properties of Scots pine thermally modified under saturated steam. Experiment was carried out to never-dried Scots pine samples at temperatures of 160 °C and 170 °C under saturated steam for 3 hours. After the modification, samples were dried at 75 °C at five different RH: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 95%. EMC at 20 °C and RH 65%, impact strength, MOE and MOR, swelling and ASE were then tested and compared. Addition to those, hornification was measured using deuterium exchange method in DVS apparatus. The method for DVS was developed, and resulted to the adding of re-wetting step to the process and using of 12 hours impregnation time for deuterium oxide. Finally, HPAEC and GC-MS were used to analyse condensation water and the acetone soluble compounds from modified and unmodified samples.

  • From the Food Bank Kitchen Thanksgiving Recipes Thanksgiving Day Is a Time Many People Get Together with Family and Friends and Enjoy a Feast
    From the Food Bank Kitchen Thanksgiving Recipes Thanksgiving Day is a time many people get together with family and friends and enjoy a feast. A typical holiday lunch or dinner includes turkey smothered in gravy, starchy side dishes high in sodium, and sugary, high-fat desserts. It is easy to over-eat and take in huge amounts of calories, carbohydrate, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium. This year, try a few healthy recipes and substitutions. When you do go for the heavy foods, stick to moderate portions and eat slowly to appreciate each bite. 1. Make some healthy swaps to your recipes. Substitute 1% milk for whole milk or light cream, or use plain fat-free Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream instead of regular sour cream or mayo. Choose light turkey meat over the dark meat to save calories. Worried about flavor? You can use half of the regular ingredient, then use a lighter substitute for the rest. 2. Get moving. Instead of eating, then sitting on the couch, take a walk after eating. Or turn on some music and dance! Adding activity to the day uses up extra calories. In addition, your body burns up calories faster for a few hours after. 3. Pack your plate with veggies. Try to make half of your plate vegetables. This will not only cut the calories in your meal but can add vitamins and fiber. If you can, limit starchy side dishes like potatoes, bread, and stuffing to two choices. 4. Be wary of “sneaky” foods. “Sneaky” foods are foods that appear healthy, but actually are very high-calorie.
