ZafraÃ, Filomena Molina, Amadeo Puerto Psychobiology, Department of Experimental Psychology and Physiology of Behavior. Campus de Cartuja, University of Granada, Granada 18071, Spain Received 14 October 2005; received in revised form 15 March 2006; accepted 16 March 2006 Abstract The cephalic phase of nutrition refers to a set of food intake-associated autonomic and endocrine responses to the stimulation of sensory systems mainly located in the oropharyngeal cavity. These reactions largely occur in the digestive system, but they have also been observed in other structures. Most published data indicate that cephalic responses are mediated by the efferent component of the vagus nerve, although other neurobiological components and brain centers must be involved. The physiological significance of all of these reactions has yet to be fully elucidated, but when the cephalic phase of digestion is obviated major physiological and behavioral dysfunctions can be observed. This has led numerous authors to propose that their function may be essentially adaptive, preparing the digestive system for the reception, digestion, and absorption of the food. Study of the neural/cephalic phase and the consequences of its absence may have clinical relevance in the setting of artificial nutrition, and may explain the difficulties of providing enteral nutrition to many of the patients that require it. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Thus, emphasis has been placed on been developed for use in humans, in which the food is the role of the gustatory component of food, gastric tasted but not swallowed (Richardson et al., 1977; Jackson distension, gastric emptying rate, nutrient absorption rate, et al., 2001). The shortcoming of this approach is that and different gastrointestinal hormones (Le Magnen, 1992; pharyngeal and esophageal receptors are not stimulated, Phillips and Powley, 1998; Davis, 1999; Ritter, 2004). and it has been suggested that this stimulation may be With regard to oropharyngeal systems, it has been important for generating some secretions during the demonstrated over the past few decades that the stimula- cephalic phase (Brand et al., 1982). Nevertheless, both tion exerted by food at this level of the digestive tract is sham feeding and modified sham feeding allow the cephalic essential to different nutrition-related processes. Thus, phase to be isolated from subsequent phases, enabling these systems are relevant to satiety (Le Magnen, 1992; assessment of its participation in digestive events (Teff and Hetherington, 1996), appetite (Le Magnen, 1992; Davis, Engelman, 1996b). 1999), and the development of preferences and aversions (Deutsch et al., 1976; Sclafani et al., 1999; Zafra et al., 2.

Less attention has been paid to the fact that participation of orophar- Reactions to cephalic stimulation are generally rapid and yngeal systems in physiological digestive processes is transient responses mediated by the efferent component of required for optimal nutritive functioning (Brand et al., 1982; Mattes, 1997). Events that occur during food ingestion have usually been divided into different phases according to the part of the digestive system that is stimulated by the food, i.e. a neural/cephalic phase, gastric phase, and intestinal phase (Richardson et al., 1977; Naim et al., 1978; Brand et al., 1982). The neural phase of digestion refers to a set of physiological, endocrine and autonomic responses of the digestive system that result from stimulation of sensory systems at the cephalic level, especially in the orophar- yngeal cavity. Although these responses are preferentially associated with the gustatory/olfactory properties of the food, the sight or anticipation of food or any other circumstance associated with food intake can also stimulate and trigger these responses (Pavlov, 1910; Powley, 1977; Nederkoorn et al., 2000). While the first observations date from 1878 (Moore and Schenkenberg, 1974; Brand et al., 1982), the characteristics of the digestive secretions of the cephalic phase were first documented by Ivan Pavlov (Brand et al., 1982; McGregor and Lee, 1998), who received the Nobel Prize in 1904 for his research on the physiology of digestion, widely known through his book ‘‘The Work of the Digestive Glands’’ (Pavlov, 1910). Although Pavlov introduced the term ‘‘psychic reflex’’ for these responses, subsequent authors agreed to use the designation ‘‘cephalic phase’’ in order to highlight the fact that, unlike gastric or intestinal phases, responses during this stage are essentially mediated by brain mechanisms and peripheral neural systems (Molina, 1978).

  • Benjamin Franklin Rum Is a Distilled Alcoholic Beverage Made
    “There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking” -Benjamin Franklin Rum is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels. The majority of the world's rum production occurs in the Caribbean and Latin America. Rums are produced in various grades. Light rums are commonly used in cocktails, whereas "golden" and "dark" rums are typically consumed neat or on the rocks.

  • The Origins and Development of the U.S. Sugar Program, 1934-1959
    The Origins and Development of the U.S. Sugar Program, 1934-1959 Richard Sicotte University of Vermont richard.sicotte@uvm.edu Alan Dye Barnard College, Columbia University ad245@columbia.edu Preliminary draft. Please do not cite. Paper prepared for the 14th International Economic History Conference August 21-25, 2006 1 Recent trade talks in the WTO indicate that the powerful US sugar lobby continues to be a roadblock to agricultural liberalization. It calls attention to a need for better understanding of the complex quota-based regulations that have governed the US sugar trade for so long. In 1934 the United States shifted its sugar protection policy from emphasizing the tariff to a comprehensive system of quotas. It was revised in 1937. After its suspension for much of World War II, a new Sugar Act was passed in 1948, and further revised in 1951 and 1956. It has been in almost continuous operation since 1934. This paper examines the origins and development of the Sugar Program from 1934 to 1959. Why did the United States adopt sugar quotas? What were the rules set up to implement and govern the policy? How did they function? The sugar quota was adopted after the U.S. government determined that the long-standing policy using the tariff to protect the domestic industry was failing. A principal reason was that the tariff was not raising the price of sugar because, by diminishing the imports of Cuban sugar, it was causing severe decline in wages and costs on that island. In turn, Cuban sugar was being offered at ever lower prices.

  • Transitioning the Sugarcane Industry to the Circular Economy in Central America
    Transitioning the Sugarcane Industry to the Circular Economy in Central America. Can it lead the transformation in the food sector? Ronald Panameño, Professor & Researcher, Central American University UCA, Operations & Systems department. (corresponding author) rpanameno@uca.edu.sv +(503) 7836 – 4659 Boulevar los próceres, San Salvador, El Salvador,CP 1101 Abstract The sugar industry is one of the leading economic sectors in Central America, as demonstrated by the industry’s output volume, labor utilization, and biomass energy use, all among the most significant in regional economic activity. At the same time, the industry imposes a heavy burden on Central American societies: it requires extensive land use, heavy use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, large amounts of water, and the emissions resulting from the industrial processes are a considerable source of pollution. The sugarcane industry’s current production cycles and machinery (the sugarcane mill being the most emblematic) were developed during the 19th century. Therefore, the industry follows a classic linear production workflow whereby it relies on significant asset investments that cannot be easily adapted to another industrial process; the main goal is usually to maximize production every harvest season disregarding the externalities. How can, then, this sector transforms this anachronistic industrial method to adapt to a framework of circular economic development? This paper analyzes current industrial trends and processes among leading sugar producers in Central América. We use Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate an archetypal sugar mill and develop a simulated model of the environmental impacts of the industry using SimaPro software and the International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) method; the results are applied to estimate sugar production and visualize the impact characterization.

  • Part II: the Sugar Industry
    Mexico & Caribbean Area Series Vol. V No. 8 (CUBA) Unive ASPECTS OF THE CUBAN ECONOMY Part 11: The Sugar Industry by Irving P. Pflaum Havana August 1960 To pass judgment on the Cuban Revolution would be in mid- 1960 improper and untimely: im- proper because most sources of information were biased; untimely because the Revolution was in full motion with its testing periods just ahead. In Cuba, future crises will result from eco- nomic, social, and political forces released by the Revolution as it rolled through 1959 and into 1960, Impelling these forces are 400 years of social de- velopment on the island the revolutionaries took on January 1, 1959, from Fulgencio Batista and the en- trenched elite behind him. To understand the situation one must look to the sugar industry and the influence it has had on the Cuban economy and social structure. The cultiva- tion and processing of sugar cane and the exporta- tion of its derivatives is Cuba's biggest business, dominating the island's economy. Cuba's sugar business is notable for its size, cartelization, inefficiency, apathy, and high profits. It has made many personal and corporate fortunes but has added virtually nothing to man's knowledge of the cane itself, its cultivation, the chemistry of its conversion into sugar, molasses, alcohol, and other by-products, or the usefulness of these deriv- ative s , The technological stagnation of the industry is illustrated by the fact that most of the cane grown in Cuba is of a variety called P.O. J. (Proefstation Oest Java) 2878 developed in Java in the 1920's.
