Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005
Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Agriculture www.healthierus.gov/dietaryguidelines i MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARIES We are pleased to present the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This document is intended to be a primary source of dietary health information for policymakers, nutrition educators, and health providers. Based on the latest scientific evidence, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines provides information and advice for choosing a nutritious diet, maintaining a healthy weight, achieving adequate exercise, and “keeping foods safe” to avoid foodborne illness. This document is based on the recommendations put forward by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. The Committee was composed of scientific experts who were responsible for reviewing and analyzing the most current dietary and nutritional information and incorporating this into a scientific evidence-based report. We want to thank them and the other public and private professionals who assisted in developing this document for their hard work and dedication. The more we learn about nutrition and exercise, the more we recognize their importance in everyday life. Children need a healthy diet for normal growth and development, and Americans of all ages may reduce their risk of chronic disease by adopting a nutritious diet and engaging in regular physical activity. However, putting this knowledge into practice is difficult. More than 90 million Americans are affected by chronic diseases and conditions that compromise their quality of life and well-being. Overweight and obesity, which are risk factors for diabetes and other chronic diseases, are more common than ever before. To correct this problem, many Americans must make significant changes in their eating habits and lifestyles.

Level of Xanthophyll, Lutein and Zeaxanthin in Selected Thai Fruits Determined by HPLC
2012 International Conference on Nutrition and Food Sciences IPCBEE vol. 39 (2012) © (2012) IACSIT Press, Singapore Level of Xanthophyll, Lutein and Zeaxanthin in Selected Thai Fruits Determined by HPLC Nittaya Khonsarn 1 and Siriporn Lawan 2 1Department of biotechnology, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Thailand 2 Department of Food technology, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Thailand Abstract. In this study 12 selected Thai summer fruits were determined xanthophyll, lutein and zeaxanthin content by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The result shown that there were xanthophyll in 11 kinds of selected fruits except banana. The highest of average xanthophyll level was found in cantaloupe (1.31±0.07 mg/100g edible portion), meanwhile barbados cherry was the second (1.18±0.03 mg/100g edible portion). Among fruits analysed, lutein content was the highest in papaya (23.74±0.46 mg/100g edible portion), follow by cantaloupe (21.82±1.60 mg/100g edible portion). Whereas lutein was not detected in star gooseberry, java apple, dragon fruit, guava, salak plum, water melon, banana and satol. Cantaloupe was the highest source of zeaxanthin (1.72±0.07 mg/100g edible portion), zeaxanthin was not however detected in star gooseberry, java apple, dragon fruit, salak plum, banana and satol. These results are suggested that some kinds of summer fruits including papaya and cantaloupe, have potential as rich sources of xanthophyll, lutein and zeaxanthin for consumer health. Keywords: Xanthophyll, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Thai Fruit, HPLC. 1. Introduction Xanthophyll, lutein and zeaxanthin are some kinds of carotenoid that not only play important role in organic pigments in fruits and vegetables but also important in the prevention of various diseases associated with oxidative stress.
